IS hours a day when the racers were taken to London.
 America first witnessed a six-day bicycle race in 1S79 when teams were brought over from Europe. Those men rode in Chicago. Boston and New York. Having no specially constructed track, they performed on roller skating rinRs. The first bicycle track with banked corners. was built in Springfield. IT, linois. in 1886, which enabled bicycle riders for the first time to take cor ners at full speed.
 America's first real bicycle contest was staged in Miuneap polls. the race being won by Albert Schocll, who rode 1, ,401 miles. In those days the 1Nn did not ride in teams and the distance GOV cred represented the riders individual efforts. Not until 1899 were the men teamed up. The teamins came about through legislative action in New York state It was inspired by the races of 1898 when so many riders at tempting to keep the wheel through the 142 hours collapsed. The teaming was designed to permit o,- man to rest and another to ride.
 SINGLE RACING
 The first bike race put on in New York with American riders as par ticipants was in 1S91 when the contest was won by Bill Martin of Lowell. Mass. Through the next eight years the races were in singles. The initial team clash was fought out in 1899 in

Sie-Day BicydIe Racing Has Come Back With Rush
Bv JAMES ]. CoRBErT

Six x-day bike races now rank as delirium products in New York
 Twenty years or so back bicycle T~e- ing was quite a fad with the general public, and the clashes that involved the greatest riders always were choice sporting tidbits. The events usually drew sizeable crowds. But after bi- cycle riding died out as a pastime, enthusiasm over the races went with it. It remained so for quite number of years. Promoters came to consider themselves lucky when they broke just a trifle better than even. Interest in the contests was so low that it had been about decided to abandon six day racing as a failure. And then, without apparent cause, Gotham sud denly became crazyabou { the racers again. Now Madison Square Garden where the races have been held, seems only half large enough to accommo- date the wIld-eyed thrones that want to see the bikers at work. New rules which call for frequent sprints and a succession of hair-raIsing dashes all through the six days have increased the enthusiasm to fever pitch No sport in New York is outdrawing the bike races in the number and size of tha crowds
