Clubs


In the mile scratch were Elwell, of the Bay City Wheelmen, W. G. Davis, of the San Francisco Bicycle Club, and C. A. Biederman, all of San Francisco. Elwell and Davis lit out, leaving Biederman some ten yards behind, on the second lap. Elwell led until the last lap, when Davis passed him on the inside and won in 3.10 1/2. Elwell thought there was another lap and intended to let Davis lead half of it and was quite surprised, as were all present, to see Davis carry the tape. He claimed a foul, which would have been allowed had he cared to press it, but he preferred to run it over, to which, however, Davis objected. They will probably meet at a future date, if Davis has the grit.

In the two-mile handicap were Elwell, Kennedy, Biederman, H. S. Blood, and a few others. Elwell and Kennedy started from scratch. Blood fifty yards, Biederman sixty. From the start it was easy to see that the contest lay between Elwell and Kennedy. They soon overhauled the head men and then laid down to work, Elwell forcing the pace with Kennedy's wheel lapping him. If the track had been in any sort of condition a good record would surely have been made. On the final lap, when near the tape Kennedy forged a wheel ahead of Elwell; the latter straightened up and throwing all his weight on the pedals came up even and just at the tape got his wheel about a foot ahead of his competitor, winning the race in 6.56 1/2.
