performances at the bicycle meet con-
Quoted at the New York velodrome last
night. Orlando Piani OF Italy and Ray
Eaton were the victims of the mechan-
ical defects. The italian fiier suffered
twice from broken chain. while Eaton
was the victim of a punctured tire on
! two different occasions.
Eaton's mishaps. which occurred IN
two heats In a match one mile race
with Arthur Spencer, did not prove to
be more than an annoyance, because
they occurred before the bell lap was
reached. In their third attempt. or drst
tr6e run race. Spencer won. He COW
cred the final eighth of a mile In twelve
seconds. which equals the track record.

Spencer mapping on the lap and stole
several lengths before his opponent got

heat and race resulted in a victory for
Eaton by a length. He outjockeyed
Spencer In the last half lap for the race
Of pacemaker. and de advantage an
abled him to win.
