Hf dlatance record. 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

3 miles 7 laps ahead of the record set

" McFarland Wins by Five Feet.
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. With but three exceptions

jonnds during the contest.

Desperation i the only word taat
can be applied to the spirit In which
the Cricketers' Association football
club played ngainst the strong Colum
bias jesterday afternoon, and the
fierceness witn which they attacked the
better organized eleven resulted In
their tying and all but beating last
year's champion':. The score was 2 to
2: on merit, the Cricketers had a shade
the better of It.
The ground was in atrocious condi

standing on fully half the field; yet
the footbnll standard was remarkubly
good, 'pnk except for cases where the
slimy ball, kicked on the fly. shipped
off players' feet, one would never have
guessed the field was not dry and fast.
So strenuous did piny finally become
that n en were thrown into the minia
ture mud ponds !n a way that left them
only hulf recor.iz'ible.
"Jim" Mnckie. center forward, who
was bck in the game for the first time
In wcks. opened the scoring for the
Columbias. heading through beauti
fully a cross-shot that gave big
Churohley no chance. The second goal
followed almost Immediately : -it was
Churchley's misct.'.. the greasy sphere
going through his hands and between
his legs for an easy goal, after a long
shpt from Forbes.1 There was no other
scoring that half.
The- Cricketers got wise at half time
to the fact that their forwards had
been playing a jhort passing, dry-field
game. Instead of long passing, far
ahei'd followed by rush tactics. Tuey
at once switched over when tha seeond
half began and ere long a fine, long
shot from Art Mills beat H.iyfling by
two teet. passing through the upper
right hand cornti of the goal. The
same inctics gave Teal the Cricketers'
second goal.
Resumption of play found both sides
roused extremely, play became rough:
In instances unclean. Ordinarily Dr.
Short nnd Clarke could have repelled
the style of rushes made, but they were
up to their ank.ifl In mud and water
and corner after corner resulted. Hiiy
fling fisted several out splendidly and

The gnme ended with the Cricketers
stlllpi essing.
Out in the field for the Columliins

and Yriing were steadiest on the for

up to the charges of unfair treatment

Some of the explanations as well as
the claims of Mr. Cook are exceedingly
well taken, yet the fact remains that
he is either ignorant of the real facts
prevailing: at London, or is endeavor

Vnion, and claims that Air. Sullivan,
posing as the friend of President
Roosevelt, uses very poor judgment In
specifying his charges.
The principal point discussed in Mr.
Cook's effort Is the Carpenter case.
This flagrant disqualification of an
American is too well known here to
need repetition. Halleswelle Is an of
ficer in the British army, and therefore
the British idol; yet he was beaten
cleanly and fairly by Carpenter. Any
one who meets Carpenter or enjoys Ills
