Rim, of the Rutt Stol. Gsrman-Holland team, flniahed sec ond, and Demara, of the P?mara-Hill combination, the former of California and the latter of Boston, was third. The final sprint of the mile was between the rep resentatives of thess three teams, which were on " equal trms. as to distance covered, the others withdrawing to give them a' clear track. The three teams that took part In the final dash covered 1737 miles 1 lap in 142 hours, which is 3 miles 7 laps ahead of the record set by Miller and Waller in 1SSD. Standing of Teams.

All the riders except McFarland, Rutt and Demara left the track at 10 o'clock, and one minute later the three, riders who had led the others by one or more laps for the past three, days began the decisive mile. They started at a good clip and sprinted des perately for the last three laps. Mc Farland got the lfad and finished scarcely five feet aheatl of Rutt. who was the same distance ahead of De mara. The money prizes that went to the surviving teams were divided as fol lows: First. 11500: second. JlOno; third, $70: fourth. S.'.on; fifth, 300; sixth. 250: seventh. 200. Early In the evening an enormous crowd gathered In the bur amphitheater to witness the final hours of one of the most keenly contested bicycle races held In the ten years' history of six-day con-t-sts. -Probably 12W watched the eclipse around which the riders steadily rode until the bell sounded for the final sprint between the leaders. Leaders Watch Each Other. ,As the core stood when the crowds began to gather It was a virtual certain ty that the teams represented In the lost desperate dash of a mile that would de cide the race and determine the 1S08 championship would . be the Rutt-Siol. McFarland-Moran and Hill-Demara com binations. Attention was largely cen tered upon these teams wlrb were ti-d for the lead as they wound around the course warily watching each other, lest eign of an attempt to gain a lap might appear. At the same time the three leaders were constantly on the alert to prevent their nearest rivals, the Walt-hour-Root team, from gaining the short tenth of a mile that meant the addition of another man to the list of starters In the deciding mile rush. There were many short sprints during the evening under the Inspiration of an enthusiastic crowd, but all proved fruit less as there was no change In the rela tive positions. During a hard snrint hv Moran. Walt hour collided with Demara and both fell, but neither was Injured and no one gained or lost In consquence. Tace Was Fast. The pace was fast from the opening to day. Throughout the week almost even hour showed new records over those tx hlbited by Miller and Waller In lSiD, and Elkes and McFarland In 1900. The pace was too fast for several of the trams- and they were forced to drop out under the . pressure. For the last four days, however, the leaders were those of the closing hours. All three I aire showed remarkable staying powers. Rutt and Stol, last year's winners, be ing picked on form by many from the start to close In the lead and win out in the sprint. The veteran. MeFarlnnd. on a previous winning team, grinding with the steady-going Moran. was another strong favorite. Hill and Demara. hith erto unknown to the six-day racing en thusiasts, won popular approval by their clever and game riding. Walthour and Root lost a lap In. mid-week and for the last three days they dogged the heels of the leading teams with steady per sistence, using every trick of the cycle track to get upon even terms with the Itaders. Gain in Weight. An interestinir feature .was ilm n-oio-Ht f the men. which was taken at noon! :oday. 132 hours after tha start last Sun- 1 lay nlg.it.
