winners had been doubled, and hence the

yesterday. Dupuy, worn and weared
from having to carry practically all of
the riding for his team, was IN state
OF near collapse.
Though the French flash failed to

bered for his desperate siding For close
to seventy-two hours the stout hearted
Frenchman worried ard harasscd the
pack with his intermittent speed bursts,
striving as few riders ever before have
done to overcome the haudicap of a
weak teammate and turn the tide
through the force OF his own individual
speed and stamina.
Depuy remained one OF the laps his
team was behind, and several times
came perilously near regaining the
other circuit Bello. slower than the
proverbial cart horse, was dead weight
to the team. however. and the handicap
proved too much for the nervy French
man.
Dupuy Protests Lost Lap,
When Dupuy withdrew he protested
to the officials against the decision that
placed the Dupuy- Bello team two laps
in the rear. DuDuy claimed that when
he mated with Bello the new combina-
ton simply should have been placed
on a rating equivalent to the standing
OF the lowest team involved in the re-
mating. the Bello-Markey pair. which
was one lap behind the leader.
Dupuy apparently was right in his
content on for the rule governing remat-
ing distinctly states
"In combining the remnants OF two
teams the lower score must be taken
and should the teams be tied with the
leaders the reconstructed team will be
penalized one lap"
At the time OF the remating of the
Bello- Dupuy team the Bello- Markey
team, the lowest OF the two, was one
lap behind the leaders. That standing
should have been passed over to the
Dupuy- Belln team. Instead the officials
penallzed the Dupuy-Bello team an
extra lap. placing them two laps be-
hind the leaders.
Following the withdrawal OF Dupuy
and Bello the Bowker brothers, hope
lessly in the ruck. Withdrew from the
contest at p. NJ.
