The record for forty hours in six
dBy bicycle race of the ten-hour a-day
yHriety was 8s5 miles laps, made by the
contestants in the race at the local
nrmory track In 1910.
Alfred Gouilet and. Fred Hill, the
team that won the Boston six-d
race, managed to lap the field last
night in one Of the most terrific
'jams'' seen in the six-day race at the
First Regiment Armory since the
event began, Monday afternoon. AL
though a lap to the good, Goullet and
Hill will undoubtedly be forced TO
work TO extremes today. When the
Goullet- Hill combination starts this
afternoon at o'clock. it will have 10
work against the cobined efforts and
concerted attacks of the field. The
second division riders, especially,
have made it known that they will do
all in their power to get on even terms
with the leaders before the final hour
tomorrow night. James Moran, from
up Chelsea way, was for going after
Goullet and Hill right after the lap
was gained, but the other teams de-
cided to walt As matters stand now,
those pedel-pushers who are in the
second division believe that Hill will
weaken before the last ten hours.
Hill rode fairly we'll last night, but II
was Goullet who did the bulk of the
work. Goullet was in practically
every sprint of note. He led the field
around to catch would-be lap stealers
time and again, and he was easily the
best man on the track last night.
There were many, however, including
the four teams tied for second place,
who believed that the Australian and
his partner we're due to weaken in
the net ten hours of work.
Goullet and Root Jump.
The sprint which resulted in the
Goullet and Hill team tapping the
field began at 9.46 o'clock Goullet
and Root shot away on the Sussex
avenue turn. Both had quite a big
lead on the field. but after going O

took up the sprinting and had the

Moran was setting hard pace in an
effort to lap the Fogler-Verri team.
Clarence Carman was also far be-

made a good sprint and got up with

Coming into the turn at Sussex

ell and he was sent skidding to the
fat of the track. His shoulder was
injured and his wheel badly demol-
ished. The team, according to the
officials, had gained lap when Wal

pedals, and with Cory gained a half

able that when Cory appeared on
the scene the lead was cut down.
Cory was not riding we'll during the
sprints at all. and what distance was
gained was due mainly to the ability
of Spears, who seemed to be able to
jump the field for big gains on sew
eral occasions. Just as Goullet
brought back Cory, Marcel Dupuy
set out and gained about stretch
lead. His teammate. however, did
not relieve him on time and the
sprint went for naught. At 1904
O'Clock the field again settled down
to the same old pace. The big sprint
hae lasted just eighteen minutes.
Field Is Divided.
When the spectators had settled
down to their seats again Goullet
and Hill and Walthour and Cava-
nagh had Tapped the field. This put
Goullet and Hill one lap to the good
and brought tho Cavanagh and Wall

Lawson and Root, Moran and Dro-

the third division were the Carman-

leading team.
