New-York tribune., 1920-11-28

Ten minutes before the end came Joe
Kopsky and Tom Bello started the most
thrilling "jam" of the grind, and after
continuous whirl of mad riding, dur
ing which every rider in the race came
out at one or two minute intervals as
relefs, gained lap on the field
The crowd rose IN the seats and
thundered out a paan Of victory for
the two men who were considered to
have an outside chance in the race.
Although the gaining of the lap
did not win the race for Kopsky and
Bello, it shot them up to fourth place
at the finish.
Youngsters Show Speed
1t was the splendid, even riding OF
Eaton and Kaiser that won for them.
Both youngsters showed remarka bic
speed in the twenty-one sprints that
were run off during the last hour and
between them they won seven of these
dashes, with 10 points being scored
for first place, as against only for
second.
Goullet did some thrilling riding in
these last hour sprints, winning four
first places, as against Eaton's five.
But it was the weakness of Hill, Goul-
let's partner, that killed all his
chances for the victory. Hill did not get
home in first place on a single occa-
sion. Had he been able to win two or
three times he and Goullet would have
won. But it was not to be, and the
best team won last night.
There were so many contestants for
the chief honors in the last hour there
IS no room here to go into details of
the most stirring finishes, but it is safe
to say that no six-day race ever run in
this city ever had half the thrills
lammed into it that were witnessed
last night.
AS though the continual series OF
speed duels between the teams of
Eaton and Kaiser, Goullet and Hill and
Madden and Magin were not enough to
keep the crowd stirred up to fever heat.
the wild riding of the tail-enders, Kop-
sky and Bello, in the last ten minutes
of the race capped the climax Of re-
markable night of speeding.
kopsky and Bello Heroes
In way the work of Kopsky and
Bello was the most remarkable demon
stration of game riding that has been
seen in this city in years. 1t was the
misfortune of Kopsky and Belo that
winning of the lap to gain them the first
prize. They gained some consolation,
however. in the wild acclaim that met
their great effort
Last night marked the first time that
either Eaton or Kaiser had ever won a
six-day race, although both had figured
in several grinds before this. The pair
had been saving their strength all
through the week, so as to give of their
best IN the last hour, but nobody ex-
pected them to come through in the
sensational manner they did
