Tricky Biding That Caused His Disqualification In the Mile Open No Fast Time Made In EventsExhibition Half i Mile By Motor Baces Monday + It cannot be scid that the newcome circuit chasers made particularly good impression in their first appearance at 1 the Salt Palace track yesterday They I proved themselves fastno one can deny thatbut they gave an exhibition I of tricky work that displeased the j nowdfa and that lesulted in the ills uuilificatioii of one of them in the mil I 111 I1 A McFarland is the fastest man that has ridden on a local track While IKS win of the mile open was due in i the Judgment of most of the crowd i inure to the team work of his mates than to any special good riding by him ieif in the twomile handicap he rode around Iver Lawson after seemlnglj i gnirg him a boneless lend and beat him out at the finish line without half i trjing Freeman and Downing are I I si ond raters apparently Certainly they are not in the class of Iver Law bn and Chapman and John Lawson t unless they were out of form yesterday They devoted themselves principally to pulling McFarland through in both aces of the day and if they are particularly par-ticularly fast they did not show it in either event in which they competed Crowd Was Small Afternoon racing did not draw the expected crowds Scarcely 700 people were there and they were almost without with-out exception ransthose who would not miss a race meet if they had to sit through an earthquake or a snowstorm snow-storm There was likewise a goodly sprinkling of matinee girls and with their bright ribbons and furbelows they added a bit of color to the scene The day was cool and there was a strong breeze blowing during the greater great-er part of the afternoon that bothered the riders somewhat and made the time in the events a trifle slower than was anticipated Owing to the slim attendance the races were somewhat late in starting and it was not until 345 that the first event was called McFarland Downing Down-ing Turville and Julius were in the lirst heat of the mile open Turville made the pace for the first lap with McFarland and Downing tacked on and Julius bringing up the rear A broken Poke bothered McFartend somewhat but he kept at it Turville started the pint at the sixth lap but McFarland WEnt right after him and with Downing Down-ing glued fast to his tire he natscd Turville without trouble and went fort for-t tape Downing spurted on the backstretch back-stretch of the bell lap and came up ibreust of McFarland The lwo had it neck and neck to the tape McFar land winning by a tire Turville was third two lengths back Time 2l3 35 Iver Lawson Beats Freeman In the second heat were Freeman I imery Caine and her Lawson Em cry punctured his tire on the second lap and was out of it They loafed for j two laps and then Iver lit out with I Freeman after him Coming for the boll Freeman tried to pass Iver but he could not do it The crowd got uo as one man and yelled like mad at that nnd as they circled the track to the finish and Freeman again attempted isi vain to pull up abreast of Lawson th crowd shouted again in delight Into the stretch they came almost abreast and Lawson won out by a quarterwheel Caine was a poor third Time 211 33 Freemans Tricky Riding It was in the final that the newcomers new-comers showed their team work Tur vill paced the first two laps and then McFailand and Downing ran around They held the fore for a lap and Freeman Free-man circled the bunch and towed them for a couple of laps On the sixth Turville and Lawson started around from the rear Turville got by the others safely enough but as Lawson attempted to pass Freeman who was riding high he swerved up to the top of the track and Lawson had to drop back Again Lawson tried to go band b-and again Freeman swerved up This left a nice big gap for McFarland who bad been hanging back evidently expecting ex-pecting just such an opening and in a jiffy the San Jose boy had darted through with Downing as usual tied on behind and the twain passed Tur Mlle and had a clear field Lawson after his second attempt to go by Freeman Free-man gave up in disgust at such tactics tac-tics and the three newcomers came in first second and third laughing with amusement at the ease with which they 1 had outwitted the others Referee An gell thought that Freemans work was a little too raw however and he was disqualified McFarland was first Downing second her Lawson third and Turville fourth Time 210 Easy For the Long Markers In the twomile handicap McFarland and Freeman were on scratch Iver Lawson had twentyfive yards Tur vile thirtyfive yards Downing fifty yards Caine eighty yards Emery rinet > live yards and Julius 110 yards The scratch men quickly caught the short distance men while Emery and Caine doubled up Julius Downing was alone in between The scratch men wore lazy and after the first sprint they made no effort to go after Julius and Emery Caine dropped out after the mile and meanwhile the scratch men had hauled down Downing Julius and Emery were making it a hard race up in front and they nearly lapped the i scratch men at the opening of the second 1 sec-ond mile This did not please McFar land and he hit up the pace for a lap or two The bell lap saw Julius and Emery still half a lap to the good They finished first and second while McFarland after letting Iver Lawson 1 get an apparently winning lead went 1 after him and beat him cut at the tape in a very pretty finish by a halfw heel Time 421 i 1A A Fast Halfmile r After the regular programme McFar land got

proves a success there will be other meets during the week The I riders are thinking of renting the track and giving meets as long as the weather permits of it I At Mondays mect one of the features will be attempt by McFarland to make a mile in 130or under Last I I week McFarJand rode a mile behind one of his motorcycles in 135 and he thinks he can cut this time down materially j ma-terially given a calm evening and I proper weather conditions would end in a tie at nothing to nothI ing RicharcDs a Yale half back who replaced Chadwiek in the second half I was given the pigskin He received It Ion I-on Yales forty > fiveyard line and In a trice pocketed himself In a bunch of I clever interference which protected him to the rush line Here matters I became exciting and he broke away from his interference and darted out into the open with the four Visconsin backs converging upon Hun The first man he dodged a second he eluded wih a clever foot movement tho third h bowled over with his free arm and then I proceeded to run around and away from the last opponent who went tearing after him as the fleets runner sped toward the line Ho touched down and a goal was Idl adi rendering a I score of 6 The most striking leature of Wisconsins play was found In tiia sole dependence of the westerners upon Captain ODeas kicking ability Not more than half a dozen timers thinns the game did the visitors undertake to advance the ball by rushes it Being almost the unvarlable ruleto send it back to ODea for a booting This marvelous man displayed a kicking prowess which has never been equated on the Yale field and the hOUOr5 wore all his way in this departenqnt of the frame He was placed at a disadvantage disadvan-tage in the matter o drop kicking for his team seamed unable to get within striking distance However lie mada four attempts at goal from the field and all were failures Two of them were out and out misses > > and wide his kicks were ricely blocked by Yale menThe men-The
