FRED HILL,
was credited with a lap. Goullet, who
led at the time, went after Moran for
two laps, but those in his rear again
refused to set the pace and the
Moran-Drobach combination was al
lowed to gain the lap without opposi-
ton.
Fogler Captures Wheel.
The first prime" of the night was
offered at 1925 o'clock. Pierce wheel
being the prize. The riders had gone
eight laps for the bike, when a spill
occurred on the Sussex avenue turn.
The accident happened when Hilrs
wheel rubbed tires with the back of
Kaiser's machine. Hill was sent to
the bottom of the track, bringing
Spears with him. Cavanagh, in try
ing to avoid the spill, went down on
the fiat, colliding with one of the outer
guard-rail posts, injuring his right
arm. At 9;57 Cavanagh was able to
continue and the bell sounded for the
riders to resume the grind. The sprint
for the wheel was won by Joe Fogler,
after a hot chase with Lawson and
Kaiser.
Verris Fine Work Goes for Naught.
Many believed that Fogler and
Verri should have been credited with
a lap in a sprint which was started
by Verri at 1902 O'clock Verri
jumped the field and opened up big
gap. AT the time, however, Fogler
came on the track and relieved Verri.
Fogler was with the field, so all the
sprinting done by Verri went for
naught. The crowd put UP big yell
when the numbers went up on the
blackboard at IL o'clock. The sprint
of Verri's was sensational, but he
was only wasting his strength, as
Fogler was on the track at the time
he went out.
Riders Ahead of Record.
While Verri was sprinting away,
Goullet was leading the field, with
Drobach second. The latter rider re-
fused to set the pace when Goullet
swung up the embankment on the
Dickerson street turn. Following the
sprint Of Verri's, Walker dashed
away, and with the aid of his partner,
Wohlrab, gained a lap. Dupuy and
Linart also followed with lap, and
seven teams were tied for first place
at o'clock, the riders having COW
cred 1,109 miles and 4 laps. They were
SO miles and laps ahead of the for
mer record.
sprinting Starts Early.
During the first hours riding seven
teams were tied for second place, one
lap In the rear of the Goullet-Hill
combination. Fogler and verri were
still two laps back of the leaders.
Colombato and Provost were practi-
cally lost, although between and 8
o'clock they managed to gain five
laps, the field refusing to go after
the pair. There were several big
sprints between o'clock and 6:3u
o'clock, but no laps were gained
Wohlrab started away twice, and he
and Walker made things interesting
for time. Verri also jumped out a
few minutes after o' clock, but again
Goullet and Hill were the ''bear cats"
in bringing up the field. At 5:2S o'clock
Dupuy shot out and was brought
back. Provost and colombato gained
back one of their laps. liver Lawson
started off shortly before o'clock
but Root apparently failed to relieve
him at the right time. Lawson got out
again at 6:14 o'clock, but Root, In re-
lieving him, punctured.
Spears Cuts Loose.
Spears and Cory added their pieces
of work to the early nights activi-
ties when they circled the field In a
sprint at 1929 o'clock. The jam was
started by Wohlrab. Wohlrab and
his partner, Walker, gained a big
lead which Hill and Goullet man
aged to pull down after hot chase.
Just as Walker and Wohlrab were
caught Spears started away, making
a wonderful jump and gaining about
fifty yards. The field was pretty well
tired from previous Jams" and Hill,
who was leading at the time Spears
jumped, refused to go out after the
Australian. Immediately after Root,
Moran, Carman and Cavanagh let
out, but it was too late to catch
Spears and Cory, who were tackled
on the bottom of the procession.
Colombato Gains Lap Alone.
The team of Colombato and Pro-
vost were allowed to gain a lap
few minutes after o'clock, Hill,
who was out in front, refusing to go
after the pair. Colombato practically
gained the lap alone.
Primes Forgotten.
Primes were out of the question
during the fore part of the afternoon
and the early hours of the night.
There was SO much sprinting going
on that primes were not thought of
at the time. The big doings started
at AIS o'clock and 1t was 1920 o'clock
before there was a lull. The first lap
was gained by Cory and Spears.
Pete Drobach started the sprint, but
he was brought back by Hill. Then
Cory took a chance and opened up
a good lead which Spears made good
advantage of and completed the cir
cult. This placed the team with the
second division riders. Carman and
Kaiser gained a lap at 4:35 o'clock.
The former started it off and Kaiser
completed the task. Three minutes
later Dupuy and Linart circled the
riders and were placed in the second
division,
