BICYCLE RACE
Outlaws and Regulars in
Fast Races Together
at VelOdrOme.

Former outlaw racing cyclists, docile
and penitent, returned to the organiza-
tion fold at the Newark Velodrome
yesterday afternoon and kicked pedals
alongside the men who remained loyal.
1t was all part of the peace pact in the
sport, and the two factions were as
friendly as If there had been no fric-
ton.
The prize money was almost evenly
distributed, but the outlaws scored first
blood when Jake Msgin, one Of their
number, won the mile professional
handicap. He had an allowance Of 10

Root, regulars, who were grouped with
him in the final sprint. Magin's vic
tory brought him 500.

Jackie Clark, showing increasing
speed with lessening avoirdupois, cas-
lily defeated Eddie Root in the one-mile
brassard. The applause which greeted
his victory showed Clark TO be as pop

their debuts In the professional ranks;
They were Hans Ohrt, the Frisco lad
who won the national and worlds
championships last year, and Albert
Spencer, the Canadian. his nearest
rival on that occasion. 0hrt only ar
