Three minutes after thc finish Of tho
ir.t sprint Olivier. who was still on
til track in hopes Of getting another
partner. started the Asziest jam Of the
race up to that point. Every rider in
the race was on the track at the same
time and there were Wild scenes in the
old Garden rs fho most desperate
sprinting duels followed one another
in bewidering fashion. 1t was during
this wild melee of speed that Brocco
and DeRuyter and Mcnamara and
Grenda were credited with their Ian.
It was explained that Brocco and De
Ruyter and Mcnamara and Grcnda we're
the only two teams in the race that
had made clean pick-ups during the
series OF terrific sprints thst closely
followed the jam begun by the lowly
0livieri, who was quite last in the
shuttle that followed Under the cir
cumstances. the judges explained the
other teams that would have ordi-
nairly been credited with having gained
lap we're pcnalizcd for their faulty
pick-ups.
After reckless riding that lasted for
twenty-five minutes between 1920 and
1880 o'clock had calmcd down follow
ing heavy spill by Oscar Egg over the

down the home stretch, with Veteran
Lloyd Thomas second and Mcnamara
