bicycle race Is 235 miles 8 laps, made by

in 1919.
Newark six-day cycle fans who
visited the First Regiment Armory
last night saw some wild sprinting,
which resulted in five teams being
tapped shortly after 10 o'clock. The
lam" was started by Alfred Goullet,
i who led the field around at a merry
8 clip. liver Lawson then took try
4 at setting the pace and, finally, Verri.
Moran and Drobach divided up the
work. The Kopsky- Krebs combina-
ton was the first to be Tapped and
then followed the tapping of the
4 Walthour and Cavanagh team. With
Tin eleven minutes five teams were
ENABLE to keep up the fast pace and
fell by the wayside. Besides the
Walthour-C avanagh- and Kopsky-
krebs teams, Cory and Spears, Co
lombato and Provost and Linart and
Dupuy also found the going hard and
were circled once. At first 1t was be-
& lieved that Gordon Walker and Gus
Wohlrab would be included among
those Tapped, but Walker made q
good sprint and stuck with the lead
ers.
There were several attempts to gain
back laps by Depuy and Linart and
Spears and Cory during the closing
B minutes of the race. Dupuy was wor-
rying the leaders a little, but he did
i little damage in the way of gaining
Il any Roadway. Spears and Cory prob
ably planned their sprint which came
seven minutes before the finish. Cor
ry relieved his partner on the Sus-
sex avenue turn, but after going a
couple of laps the riders settled down
70 a moderate pace. The final sprint
was won by Peter Drobach. At 2
o'clock the pedal pushers had trav-
ersed 237 miles and two laps. The
former record was 235 miles, eight
laps, made by Worth Mitten and
John Bedell In 1912.
Record Broken.
The record was broken at 10
o'clock, the riders being about four
laps ahead of the former figures.
Lawson was leading and the Ryan
and Wohlrab fiugres made at Madi-
son Square Garden this year went
topping. Then 1t was that the big
sprint got under way and the widest
excitement prevailed at the armory.
During the ten hours of riding, not
a single rider was known to have q
fall
All GouIlet Starts.
Coul1et let out the throttle just
when the teams were going at
, moderate pace. Cavanagh, Spears,
Provost and Kopsky were far behind
when Goullet jumped. When Goullet
shot up the bank verri went full
sail to the front. Peter Drobach
then made things lively by going
out In front at terrific clip. BY this
time the armory was in an uproar.
Trainers were rushing around the
saucer and practically every rider
was on the track. Drobach led the
field in tapping Kopsky and Krebs.
Wa1thour by this time was q half
lap to the rear. Cavanagh, who had
lost considerable ground earlier In
the sprint. came out to relieve the
hero of former six day races, but
II was apparent that Frank was
lacking the necessary push and 1t
was not long before the pack OF
riders caught him. Among the first
string riders who led the chase
ware Moran, Fogler, Goullet, Kaiser,
Root and Carmen. The latter rider
hung on all the way, but made no
atteupt to set the pace,
Kreps and Kopsky First to Lose Lap.
In the big sprint the Krebs and
Kopsky team was far behind, and
they were the first to get Tapped.
Shortly after Cavanagh and Wal
thour lost out, and then followed the
other three teams. Frank Cory
made a short sprint a few minutes
after the field had settled down. but
Moran was leading and the Austria
Ian had little chance.
Primes Kept Riders Busy.
Primes kept the riders on the jump
during the afternoon and night, but
it was not until 10 O'Clock that the
former record was broken, and then
only by a few laps. The first prime
OF SO was offered at three minutes
after O'Clock, and It was Krebs who
took the lead from Goullet on the
eighth lap and went over the line q
winner.
FogIer Beats GoulIet for Prime.
A prime Of SO, offered at o'clock,
saw Joe Fogler give ALI Goullet q
battle, the Brooklyn rider winning
out in good sprint on the final lap.
