It was wa like taking a stick of candy from the children in justice to the the Provo men man however it should be stated that Sam Sani u did not use it lie simply quit It a cold coid evening and to use H a porting term large muuks of ot the cold settled in teat fet Decision Was a Joke Than Thea there ther was a decision that should not be overlooked as ae it was extremely amusing At the end of the s cond heat came in lit and nd said itiL Lawson had iou d c him Referee Frank Gardner promptly celled called it no race and ordered the men to run it over again When this interesting bit of information was k parted to the champion he simply 4 ugh d is much as to say Gusas Then there was wild ci I and about the training quarte but all iI efforts to get Iver to ride merely met with vUth a it grin front from the champion who with a merry twinkle his eye wanted to know if It was aa n April fool joke uke 4 n the q i U 1 othet officials sneaked up vo 0 Iver bit enough to say he was a T if he ie rode again It was final ly announced to the crowd that Lawson l to ride rido any more and the crowd promptly replied We dont blame him Here the th matter was dropped and the fans went home telling each other how the champion ran from Samuel Samuelson son eon How It Happened Here is how it happened In the first heat Samuelson got off in iii the lead anti and promptly went to the top of the bank Lawson followed him for a lap and then thee dropped down on the pole and watched skirting around the top of the saucers rim They were yards yarIs apart Lawson looking over his shoulder Sam Samuelson kept increasing his speed with k Lawson riding at the bottom of Lf the track still welting waiting for Samuelson to tu sprint This seemed to bother Iother Sam nelson and the faster fter he just so much more speed did Lawson turn on When it came time for the jump neither jumped and Lawson Lawon calmly pedaled in a winner vinner still leading all ail the way and keep Ing up about a wheel length ahead of Samuelson King Takes Pace TH T t the second neat heat it was much the vamo Samuelson got ot oft off in front and top U LIK LIKai ai ted as 5 If he thought this was and promptly too the pole and the tho lead Finally Samuelson dropped down aad sot ot Lawsons rear WheeL l A lap and andt t halt half from home Lawson lit out and setting puce pace for two laps simply away from Samuelson Ah As he began t draw away awai sat up and ami amii i raised S his hand Many any thought he be crossed creased his finger and yelled Kings X When A came in he be claimed he had been fouled but If It such was wag the case Law Lawon on must muni have hypnotized him for he Certainly did not use any tactics on his except to put an unusual amount ut speed Into the pedals A plain state statement statement ment of the facts is that Samuelson was wasi i imply outclassed he knew it and quit ld Then lie he went to the referee with witha a kick and this th official became rattled nit mid made a decision that wa was wrong and ami Law on and the crowd gave them boUt both laugh It is no disgrace to be beaten by Iver L in a match race and if Samuel sou could have beaten him last night he would have been the greatest rider in it th world Lawson said before the race Sf If this thin fellow beats beat me ate he had better tame tae the boat with me tue to Australia where he lie can make thousands In fact I will pay his fare there end and and KO o in with him on all we win There was a crowd at atthe atthe the saucer considering the th weather con conditions and all of the races saw
