PERCY LAWRENCE FIRST HOME IN
FIFTY-MILE RACE AT MOTORDROME
Takes Lead at Thirty-fifth Mile in Motor-Paced
Event at Point Breeze and Beats Clarence
. Carman by Five Laps
Ad SwiRlcr, right-hand twirlcr of tho University of Pennsylvania, has
signed a New York National League contract. It is believed he will
report to the cluli when tho Giants play here tomorrow.
Hiding n beautiful race and using excel
lent Judgment nt nil times, rercy Law
rence captured tho flfty-mlto motor-paced
race at tho I'olnt Breeze drome -last night
before a cnpnclty gathering, leading Clar
enco Carman, his nearest opponent by flvo
laps.
The veteran Oeorgo Wiley, of Syracuse,
sot tho pace for tho first twenty-four miles,
but at that stago gavo way to the speedy
Carman. The champion then held sway
until the thirty-fifth mile was reached when
Lawrence shot lo the front nnd main
tained tho ndvnntngo to tho finish. Tho
tlmo was 1 : OS: 4 4.
One spill marred tho event, but there was
no ecrloun accident. On tho thirty-fifth mile
Corby attemptod to pass Carman nnd Law
rence His front whool win puncturod and
to nvold n colllson ho ran his machlno up
high on tho track. Here his wheel buckled
under his nnd ho wns thrown. Ho received
severe bruises and lacerations nnd was un-
ablo to roturn to tho track.
Wiley Tnkes Lead
The boys got nwny well. The men Jock
eyed for position, with the lead changing
rapidly. Hunter was the first to catch his
pacemaker, but It wns not until tho fifth
lap that he hit his stride. Carman. Law
renco nnd Corby were struggling gamely In
tho rear, never permitting the lending Wlloy
to Increase his ndvantagc. Tho boys were
setting a fast pace, and nt the twentieth
mile tho time wns 27 minutes 39 3-5 sec
onds. Carman only lead for a couple of laps
when Wiley regained the pace-setting Job
nnd for two miles moro continued to be the
lender. At the twenty-seventh mile Car
man came forth with a burst of speed
that carried him to the fore. He rode a
brilliant raco for the next eight miles,
though he was unable to gain much on the
field.
Lawrence to Front
Hunter was doing some great work as
pacer for Lawrence and with the pair dis
playing wonderfut teamwork, took tho lead
from Carman on tho thlrty-tlfth mile. Hun
ter startod nil of Lawrenco's sprints and his
ability to slow down whan he had the raco
well in hand was tho deciding factor.
Carman challenged a numbor of times In
the last fifteen miles, but ho nover was ablo
to regain tho lead. In tho final five miles
Hunter opened tho speed throttle nnd nt tho
finish was five laps In front of Carman, who
pedalod his way Into second place. Wiley
camo homo third.
Tho raco of unknown distance turned out
to be one of tho best of the night. The
dlstanco was threo miles with Speedy Vnn
derberry tho winner. Stevo Scnhouse, Car
man's pacemaker, was second.
