That Opens Sportdom'S
Annual Bedlam
BY FRED HAWTHORNE

To the accompaniment of cheers
from some 5000 men and women, the
twenty-fourth annual six-dsy bicycle
race began at one minute after mid
night this morning, in Madison Square
Garden. Just as the clock in the
Metropolitan tower sounded the hour a
stout gentleman in evening clothes Rp-
peared on the track. escorted by Of
fcials of the race. 1t was Edward E.
Mccall. and in his right hand he held
a revolver, for TO him had been in
trusted the official starting Of the long
grind.
Fourteen riders sat motionless on
their wheels at the starting line, bent
far forward over the handle bars,
every muscle tense, as they awaited
the sound Of the pistol shot that was
TO mark the beginning OF the race.
"The shouting and the tumult GIed"
as Mr.. Mccall raised his arm above
his head and fred the revolver.
There followed the patter Of feet
on the board track "a the trainers
ran alongside the riders and gave
them the last shove that sent them
on their way. Instantly there was a
wild scramble for position, with the
sprinters working their way to the
front, ready TO set a mad pace.
Some Wild Cheering
The crowd broke forth into wild
cheering again as the riders, taking

LEVENTHAL SETS
FAST PACE OVER
SNOW AND ICE
Brooklyn A. A. Athlete De.
feats Big Field in Long
Island Run
BY A. c. CAVAGNARO

The snow-covered roads OF Ridge
wood. BROOKLYN, were defed yesterday
when the record field OF thirty-two
members competed in the weekly prize
handicap run Of the Long Island Ath-
letic League, held over the four-mlle
trail Of the Seattle Athletic Club. Most
Of the way the athletes were forced to
make a path for themselves. Despite
this handicap, not one Of them faltered,
all finishing in good condition.
Charles Leventhal, OF the Brooklyn
Athletic Association, led the way home,
and in doing so ran one Of the best
races shown by league member this
season. He displayed especial daring
when he struck the steep Snake Hill, IN
Highland Park. All of the runners
walked up this incline save Leventhal,
who has been preparing for the Yonkers
Marathon. He never let up, passing ten
of his opponents and being in third
place when the top was reached.
Eddie Donoher, of the Presentation
Club. and Ben Benson, Of the Swedish
American Athletic Club, were still in
front of him, but before another half
mile had been covered Leventhal was in
the van. Donoher attempted to hold the
Brooklyn athlete, but he resigned the
task after taking the fast pace for sew
eral blocks. The fight between Leven-
thai and Donoher had carried them far
away from their rivals. for while some
100 yards separated the two at the fin
ish Benson trailed home in third place,
more than a full minute behind.
