Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-12-16

In a six-day bicycle race of the ten-hour-
a-day variety was 456 miles ] lap, made
by the contestants In the race at the
local Armory track In 1910.
That the six-day race at the First
Regiment Armory is proving a hard
me was no more ably demonstrated
than last night, when, after the riders
nad finished the second ten hours, The
cam of Joe Kopsky and Floyd krebs
vas forced to quit, and the former
records for ten-hour-a-day races were
left far behind. The kopsky-Krebs
combination was four laps TO the bad
md, owing to the failure of Krebs to
felieve his partner in the sprints for
primes, or whenever a fast pace was
set, 1t was necessary for the team to
retire At 1890 o'clock, just a few
minutes after kopslSy had rs.ined
back one lap without the aid of his
partner, the combination was off1-
cially declared out of the grind.
Kopeky had four hours in which to
get q new partner, but, unless Spears
decides to retire and allow his team-
mate, Cory, to pair with E.opsky, the
latter viii have to withdraw. Kopsky
did some excellent work last night,
but his partner Krebss apparently
was all in, and Joe was forced TO do
most of the plugging and sprintins.
kopsky said after the riding h4i
stopped this morning, that Spears
would be willing to quit, and that he
would team with Cory this after
noon. In the event of a new combi-
nation of Kopsky-Corry being formed,
it will be five laps behind the leaders.
Riders Ahead of Record.
The crowd last night saw some
excellent sprinting and at
o'clock the riders had covered
i61 miles and laps, being
Il miles and 2 laps ahead of the
record made recently by Clark and
Root at Madison Square Garden.
They were five miles and six laps
ahead of the record made at the local
armory track in 1910. Outside OF he
krebs- KoLsky team retiring, there
was no change in the standing or the
teams, seven being tied for mrs place
and four teams being one lap behind,
as at the close OF the tlrSt days rid
ing.
FogIer Big Prime" Winner.
The offering of primes" kept the
riders on the jump throughout he
greater part OF the afternoon ana
night. Joe FogIer was a big winn-r
Of the short spr1nts. Fogler also tig-
ured in a gas-iamp episode. Joe Won
a lamp, but 1t is ooupttui If he Will be
seen heading the pack again when
ever another such article IS put up.
II so happened that shortly after 4.30
o'clock that the lamp IN question was
offered Tor a or1e-mlle sprint. togler
was bent on winning the article, as
was bred Hill, ana both riders fin
fshed on even terms. Then it was an
nounced that, as there was a dead
leat, it would be necessary to contest
TOR the lamp again. Fogler appeared
peeyed at the decision, more SO
from the fact that GoulIet mad just
renewed Hill, and there was little in
termisslon between the first and sec
ond sprInts. Fogier was bent on get
ting the prize, and he won it, although
Goullet ald not appear TO care much
about the lignt prOducer. togler I'M
medlateiy onered The lamp again for
"prIme," and this time Wohlrab was
The winner
Drobach Starts Big JAM.
There was some good sQrints, but
the pig one came ABOUT 1U:20 o'clock,
and it was Peter Drobach who
started It. Drobach jumped away
and was followed by Gouilet. Both
riders led the field around at merry
pace, and it was noted that Provost
was trailing almost a quarter OF a
lap behind the field. Fogler got In
front and tore off three laps at
fast gait Krebs was almost lapped,
and Kopsky tried to pick up the lost
ground. Moran and Root seemed
bent on tapping Krebs. The latter
could not seem to get up any steam,
and Gordon Walker put the finish
ing touches on when he let loose with
fun speed. There was lull in the
sprinting but it was only for few
minutes Goullet tore away on the
homestretch much like he did on
Monday. Drobach was right behind,
and the latter also assisted in keep
ing the riders stretched out on the
saucer. Jimmy Moran and Fred Hill
