With seven teams on even terms as
result of night of wild sprinting
the chances of another hours finish
such as that which took place at the
six-day race held in Madison Square
Garden recently is looked for to-
night at the First Regiment Armory
Ten of the twelve teams which start
ed Monday afternoon left the barrier
at 1890 O'Clock today for the final ten
hours of what promises to bring out
some of the most sensational work of
the grind. 1t was only too evident
after the first fifteen minutes of rid
ing yesterday afternoon that the
teams that made up the second divi-
sion were out to wear down the Goul-
let-Hill combination, which had
gained a lap Thursday. After doing
all in their power to stop the spirits,
which usually resulted in a lap be-
ing gained on them, Goullet and Hill
decided on new plan of attack. APP
parently there was no use to go after
any of the second division teams
trrh oh !. NJ f1a
start. When either Goullet or Hill
set after a lap pilferer, the rest of
the field would appear to rest con-
tent in following the pace, instead of
helping catch the man out in front.
This kind of work was in evidence in
the early part of the race. After
o'clock Goullet and Hill decided on a
''watchful waiting" policy. They
would do their share of sprinting,
, and what happened after that was
up to the rest of the field.
Kaiser Carman Team n Surprise.
Lap-gaining such as has never been
seen in this city before was the rule
during the ten hours last night. One
of the big surprises is the showing
of the Kaiser and Carman team,
which was paired together when their
partners met with an accident
Wednesday. The new pairing put
the team one lap to the bad under
the rules of the race The pair made
this lap yesterday afternoon at ABS
o'clock, putting them on even terms
with the second division riders at
that time At 1929 o'clock the team
got away again and another lap was
credited to Carman and Kaiser; who
were again with the leaders. Spears
also rode well last night, but wheth-
er Cory will be able to stand the on
slaught tonight Is question.
Cavanagh and Walthour Advance.
Frank Cavanagh and Bobby Wal
thour got on even terms with the
first division teams at 1922 o'clock.
At that time Goullet and Hill had
the lead to themselves. Cavanagh
was riding in top form, and Wal
thour was also among the riders who
were willing to go to the front at
any time. Another big surprise of
the race is the showing of the for
eign team, Linart and Dupuy. Both
of these riders gained two laps in
the 'jams" last night. Root and
Lawson were unable to gain lap
more from the fact that Goullet in
sisted ON going after this pair when
ever they set out.
Attack Centres on Goullet and Hill.
Goullet and Hill were the subjects
of many attacks during the afternoon
and night. 1t was apparent soon after
the start that the second division rid
ers were out to wear down both OF
these riders, who gained lap on the
field Thursday evening. Spears and
Cory were the first team to lap Goul-
let and Hill and before the night was
over seven combinations We're tied for
first place. When the second division
riders went out Goullet or Hill were
generally in the lead. They made an
attempt to get the would-be lap
stealers, but the rest of the field re-
fused to go out when either of these
riders swung up the embankment.
After Spears and Cory gained lap,
putting them on even terms with
Goullet and Hill, Carman and Kaiser
circled the field. Dupuy and Linart
got lap soon after.
Cavanagh Starts.
At 9 O'Clock the armory crowd was
In an uproar when Cavanagh set out
and gained a half lap. At first Hill
led the chase after the flying Cavan-
agh. but when he saw that the rest OF
the riders would not set the pace ne
let UP. Within few laps, Walthour,
who had relieved his partner, got
around the field. Drobach ana Goul-
let then set out alternating the pace
with their respective helpmates.
They were caught by the other
peddlers, however and then Moran re-
viyed interest by leading sprint lie
was caught by Goullet
O. Kaiser sneaks Away.
1t was at 9:15, while Larry Corbett
was announcing the conditions OF the
finish on Saturday night, that Kaiser
sneaked away and, with the aid OF his
partner, Carman, gained lap on ms
competitors. 1t was good generasnlp
on Kaiser's part. The spectators were
quiet, awaiting the announcement
Gorbett was making, and the riders
were going at a slow pace. Kaiser
easily gained half circuit and Car
man completed the rest of the treas
ured distance. The field, apparently
realizing that the lead obtained by
Kaiser on the jump was too much to
overcome, settled down to normal ana
the crowd yelled it's approval at the
lap gaining. Two minutes later
Jimmy Moran shot away. Drobach
.aada a neat nick-lID and completed
