came on the track to pace Egg With
great sprint this team pulled Egg
up to Moran after going two and a
half laps. Fogler tried to follow with
Egg in the sprint, but was shaken off
OF his pacemakers. At nine and a half
| miles Egg went around Moran and
assumed the lead again, paced by
Cameron and Thomas. This team
| pulled the Swiss into a lead of o00
| yards on Moran and Tapped Foeler
Egg rode wonderfully we'll In the next
two miles and increased his advan-
| tage TO a half lap on Moran.
Moran Comes Back,
With that old bulldog tenacity, Mo-
ran gained it all the while Egg was
gaining on him, and brought the
crowd to its feet on the eleventh mile
~hen he started sprint that ended
when he caught the foreigner Moran
losl GROUND on the thirteenth mile
when roger butted him off his tam
Gem team and forced the Chelsea man
to go without pace for a short dis
lance. The three riders grouped again
and the pace slowed perceptibly in
the next mile. Egg lost the lead
/ when slow tandem team came or
TO pace him, and Moran pulled away
for lead of fifty yards on the four-
tenth mile. A half mile from the
finish Moran had a lead of thirty
yards on Egg and looked like a sure
winner. Moran was behind the crack
team of Lawson and Drobach. while
Egg had very poor team and 1t
looked like curtains for Egg. At this
luncture Bob Spears and Gordon
walker, who had been doing the best
work for Egg, came on the track.
and there was furore in the stands
as the Egg supporters realized that
there was still chance for victory.
TWO and a quarter laps from the fin
ish Egg was on Spears and Walker
and set for the finish When they
got under way they carried Egg along
at wonderful speed, and Moran's lead
began to wither. Starting the final
lap Moran still had ten yards ad-
vantage, but Egg whirled by on the
backstretch and won by a full ten
yards. Coming down the homestretch
Egg sprinted by his pacemakers with
a burst of speed that was marvellous.
The Swiss rider was accorded a great
ovation as he did the tour of honor.
Grenda Takes Open Feature.
Big ALI Grenda was the class in
the half-mile open, professional and
Won after a long ride in front with
four members of the elite trailing in
behind. Iver Lawson finished sec
ond, Spears was third and Cesar Mo-
retti was fourth. Bill Bailey, the
fifth man in the race, was last.
Grenda started his sprint lap and
half from home, with Bailey on his
rear wheel, but going into the first
turn Lawson came UP on the outside
of Bailey and forced the Englishman
out of the position. Bailey stood q
fine chance of winning had he been
able to hold his position, for he
showed a great burst of speed in his
heat. but after Lawson was through
Matchmaking him Moretti took shot
at him and at the eighth pole Bailey
was in last position without chance
of winning. Lawson held his posi-
ito on the outside of Grenda all the
way, and made an effort to come out
and win down the homestretch, but
Grenda gained it to the end and held
his advantage. Moretti tried to
squeeze into third place, but insdoing
so rubbed Lawson's rear wheel and
fell just as the tape was crossed.
The big fellow hit the track hard and
slid for twenty yards, sustaining a
few abrasions of the skin on his legs
and arms.
Handicaps Too Much.
The handicaps were too great Tor
the scratch men to overcome in the
quarter mile for amateurs, and both
Champion Kaiser and Donald Nc
Dougall were shut out. The final and
the heat that McDougall qualified In
were ridden in worlds record time,
and the fifth heat was almost full
second better than the worlds mark.
Kaiser tried to go too far in front in
w
badly beaten at the finish by Nc
Dougall, who won. and Tommy
Smith, Fred Taylor, Eddie Kane and
Willie Hanley,. who finished in the
order named. McDougall rode a fine
race, coming from third position high
on the bank in the last fifty yards.
Smith Costs Victory.
Floyd Krebs and Rudi-Russe won
the two-mile tandem handicap, but
were disqualified for needless switch
on the last lap. The winners had
Cavanagh and Hill beaten to a fraz-
zle but Krebs thought he would make
it safe by switching them on the turn
into the backstretch, thereby giving
the once great team the long end of
the money.
Piercey Wins Invitation.
Bob Spears would have had to have
had motorcycle to win the two mile
invitation handicap, which he rode
from scratch. The time was 3 min
utes and 40 seconds, and Cavanagh
was the only rider who was near him
to help. in getting the big field that
was strung out for 265 yards Charles
Piercey, of Australia, recent refugee
from Europe, won the race. The
