and Hansen would not have it. Ma
donna very foolishly set a hot pace,
too. and he will regret il later. He
is feeling the hot pace now, and will
probably be the next one to retire.
That will make 1t tough for Linart.
unless there is someone to form a
new team with him. Linart will try
hard to finish the race, for he needs
the money. and he won't quit until
he drops from exhaustion. His
thoughts are fixed on the homeless
dear ones who are thousands of miles
away, and desperation is written In
every line on his face. Tt is indeed
unfortunate that he is not teamed
with better rider.
After That Lap.
As soon as the field is reduced to
fifteen teams Grenda and ! will be on
our way, providing we are feeling
good. The Berlin finish is a great
thing. but being lap ahead all the
lime is much more satisfactory, and
we are fairly certain that We can lap
the field when a favorable oppor-
tunity arises.
Sprints Do Not Hurt.
7 went after the first prime Just 70
try myself out, but after that left
the primes to the other fellows. There
was too big a field to- take any
chances. but when the big primes are
hung up Grenda and viii so after
them. Frequent sprints do not hurt
us, and we figure that we might az
well add to our prize money in this
way.

race and / can see that he is intent

view to being a contender at the

Attendance PIeases NacFarland.
There was much larger crowd on
hand for the start than | expected
under the weather conditions, and
figure that if they will venture out
in a driving rain storm just to see the
start and the opening skirmishes,
they will come in record numbers
the rest of the week. The primes and
the Berlin finish is sure to get them
and, | think, this race viii go down
in history as the best ever held in the
Garden. The rough element was not
entirely eliminated but they were
segregated and were unable to mingle
with the good class of people who
occupied the reserved seats. This
was very gratifying to the good pa
irons and also to me.

New York six-Day Race.
The big race got off to good start
and il looks like a big success at this
time. The first sixteen hours of a
six-day does not result in any
startling developments, as a rule, and
this race is no exception. So far all
Of the better teams in the race are
showing great form and are going
along without any trouble with the
pace fast enough to keep them either
close to or ahead of the record. Very
often good men will suffer in the first
hours on account of various things,
but up until noon today / heard no
complaints from any of them. 1t
usually takes the veterans ten or
twenty hours to get set for the grind,
after which they are o. K. | figure
the warm weather is responsible for
them getting away so well right from
the gun this year.
Fast Pace Tells on Riders.
The fast pace has shown who are
the weak riders in the race and the
big field will be cut down to some ex-
tent before another twelve hours rolls
around. Parent and Cousseau were
the first to fall behind, which was not
a surprise to me. They were not in
shape when they started. Their lack
of condition was not due to a lack of
training as much as to a lack of
proper food for weeks before they
left France to come here. Parent told
me that while he was in the army he
never saw a day when his hunger
was properly appeased, and no ath-
lete can be at his best without the
proper nourishment. Dupuy, Sores
and Cousseau told me the same thing
and they were not even in the army.
Dupuy and Sores are riding better
than [ anticipated, and they may be
able to go through the race. The
team of Madonna and Linart, the
Belgian, will probably be the next to
fall by the wayside. Madonna is not
coming up to expectations, but Linart
has surprised me. He is a great rider
and would have been a, bear had
he been here a few weeks before the
start OF the race.
Great Racing Assured.
The way the star teams are going
is very pleasing to me and / can as
sure the fans great racing from now
on. There are some big primes to be
hung up tonight and all during the

and made hit with the fans. These

Union convention in New York today
that Alfred J. Lii, of Boston, will be

athletes will be given only when they
make records for standard distances
or events included in the Union
championships or international Fed
Grafton Amateur Athletic games, if
the report Of the record committee is
adopted at the annual meeting. This
action by the record committee,
which the delegates probably will
approve, gives the international in
stitution its first real footing and
may lead up to the selection of all it's
rules to govern track and field sport
in this country.
The committee recommended all
athletes making records at odd dis
tances receive due commentator and
suggested that on the record books
these figures be set down as mote
worthy performances, a custom now
in vogue among the swimming con-
tingent.
