Beauty OF It all. no one who is fair
at all can say that there was any
teamwork or combination work en-
ployed in getting the lap. It was the
fairest thing that ever happened. and
there couldn't be any complaint.
Those who ought to know say that
Clark and Root were Tapped on two
previous occasions during the race.
Early in the week Root, ridden stiff.
rode off the track, and It is said that
air was deliberately let out of his tire
Yesterday both Clark and Root were
off the track at the same time. Tire
trouble was claimed. It is a hard
blow to the Sad Birds"

Six teams are now tied for the lead
and Goullet and Grenda are still the
favorites and look like the winners.
Verri and Egg are also held in high
favor and Mcnamara and Moran are
not out of It by any means. Goullet
and Grenda are both good sprinters
and they are riding strong, This
gives them a big advantage under the
Berlin system of sprinting for points
every fifteen laps. Mcnamara, of
If Moran will be able to score enough
points to make his team 8. winner.
Really Verri and Egg should be the
ones Goullet and Grenda will have to
beat. Both these men are riding very
strong. II may be, of course, that
Mcnamara and Moran will be able
to lap the field during the final hour
OF sprinting, for there are sure TO be
some tired bicycle riders around about
that time. Hill and Fogler are not
any too good and Kaiser and Cam
eron can hardly hope to beat their
classy opponents. These boys, by the
way. have made a good showing and
little Kaiser Is one of the most pop
ulaF riders in the race. Mcnamara,
the "Abysmal Brute of the six-day
game, is the idol of tho fans, of
course. and no cyclist ever more de-
served his praises.

During the Jam" Mcnamara and
Cameron acted as sort of fathers to
their teammates. Every time he
made a change Mcnamara would put
his left hand on Moran's back and
give him shove, at the same time
shouting; Go on, you Jimmyi"
Cameron in his changes would ride
alongside OF Kaiser and pat the little
fellow on the back. While great credit
Is due Moran and Mcnamara for their
wonderful ride, Kaiser and Cameron
should not be overlooked They have
done remarkably we'll. and an awful
lot OF people are pulling for the little
amateur champion. Grenda deserves
his share of credit for the great work
he did in pacing the bunch up to
Moran and Mcnamara. The pick-ups
during the 'Jam" were exceptionally
fair in all but a few cases. Moran
and Mcnamara made one pickup,
and SO did Clark and Root. All the

O.
A few kind words are in order for
Ernie Pye, who made the tires that
are being used In tho race. There
have been few punctures all week
and there was not single one
throughout that terrific jam OF
twenty-seven minutes Pye has a
fortune in store for him. Manager
MacFarland is being praised on all
sides for the way the race is being
conducted and society folk are again
attending the grind. Reggie Wander
