we're still on the track, twelve of the
covered at 9 o'clock.
There had been intermittent bursts
Of wild sprinting during the daylight
hours, in one CT these "iams" the
Erenchmen, Billiard and Alavoine. re-
raining one of their lost laps. The
crowd was so great an hour before the
night sprints began that anybody wear
ing bigger than 21a shoe could not
have found standing room.
1t was announced by the judges just
before IL o'clock that the following
teams had lost lap each during the
Big Gam: Stefani and Peyrode.
Weber and Osterriter, Billiard and Ala
voine. This left ten teams tied for the
lead in distance covered at the end Of
the night sprints.
Marcel Buysse, of Belgium, was first
home in the opening sprint for points,
but was disqualified by the judges for
rot holding the pole. This gave Nc
Namara first place, Osterriter second,
Drobach third and Grenda fourth.
Belloni Takes Second Sprint
The wild-eyed Belloni took the sec
ond sprint, outriding Tommy Smith by
half length. Van Hevel was third
and Madden fourth.
Mcnamara was the first man across
the line in the third sprint, but again
the judges disqualified the winner,
claiming Reggie had not held to the
role. The official order of finish for
This heat was Kaiser, Rutt, Buysse and
Grenda.
In the fourth dash it was Deruyter,
Madden, Van Hevel and Hanley who
were first over the line, and in the
fith Goullet. Madden, Lang and Coburn
finished in that order.
Between these two sprints occurred
Che most thrilling "jamm'ng" OF the
entire week to date. Belloni was re-
sponsible, for he dashed away from the
fed three laps before the end of the
fourth sprint and was thirty yards to
the good before Charley Deruyter set
sail after him. The two had opened
up a quarter lap lead before the field
could settle down to the work of catch
ing them.
For the next five minutes there fol-
lowed wild scenes, with every rider in
the race on the track at one time. Van
Kempen relieved his partner, Deruyter,
and this team was a full half lap in
the lead before Goul,et and Mcnamara
began to cut them down, yard by yard.
Brocco relieved Goullet and Madden
took up the burden for Mcnamara, and
these four. after riding the runaways
into submission, started "jam" Of
their own that had the entire field on
edge. Had Madden been willing to do
his share OF the pacemaking he and
Goullet might have Tapped all the
others.
Eddie, however, was content to sleigh
ride" behind both Goullet and Brocco.
The Judges were still puzzling over
the question as to wkich teams had
been Tapped in this "iam" half an hour
after it ended.
Finish of Sixth Sprint
The order of finish in the sixth
sprint was Belloni, Van Kempen, Co.
burn and Madden.
In the seventh, Deruyter, Thomas,
Mcnamara and Coburn.
In the eighth, Buysse, Van Kempen,
Smith and Madden.
In the ninth they finished thusly:
Alavoine. Goullet, Van Hevel and Nc
Namara.
The tenth sprint was won by Buysse.
Those following Buysse across were
Rutt, Madden and Goullet.
The willy spectators have not been
having bad week at the Garden race.
Ambitious purchasers of tickets last
night, when they attempted to buy
seats, were informed at the box office
that "there's not seat to be sold, not
even if you are the Pope"
But outside at a hotel across the
street from the Garden, at an "off the
arm" restaurant, and in various eel a.
way offices" on Twenty seventh
Sire ct. you could buy seats in any sec
tion of the house at substantial in
crease over the box office figures.
One of the surprises of the after
noon series of sprints was the strong
showing made by the veteran Pete Dro-
bach and Willie Hanley. Drobach, one
of the oldest men in the race, came in
at the last moment as Hanley's part
ner, when Jake Magin was injured on
Saturda night. In spite of this short
notice, Drobach has been riding we'll
since the start, and yesterday he went
out after the points with vengeance
taking first honors in the first, seventh
and ninth dashes. and second to Goul-
let in the fifth. Hap-sv took the eighth
teams total was 20 points, better
showing than any of the other teams
made.
