A HOLIDAY throng, one that packed
the spacious drome to Its capacity,
saw veteran Elmer Collins, of Nevvark,
" J., pedal ,hls way to a clean-cut
triumph In the forty mile motorpaced
race at the Point Breeze motordrome
last night. Tim Buckley, the debonair
"Colonel," a great admirer of the vet
eran, was too much occupied counting
the receipts to witness the big race and
see tho thlrty-elght-year-old wonder
leave his more youthful opponents In the
van. Collins was a champion In 1900.
It was a great night for the race and
'he long grind w-aa run c'l with only
one slight mishap. The paceis had their
motors In good working order and the
well-oiled encrlne.q hummeH Rmnnthlv as
.they buzzed around the saucer-like track
itony Lehman, Swiss sensation who
paced many winners In European cir
cuits, scored his second win In four
starts when he led Collins over the line
a winner. He and Jimmy Hunter now
are tied.
Breaks Willi Collins
Everything went smoothly for the aged
CVCle hern Cnlllnn Tn th,. .to.,.. Cap ...r,i-
'maker he had the first choice and with
out any hesitancy selected Lehman. Paul
Sutter, another Swiss athlete', failed to
get his countryman, Lehman, but as he
had second choice he cjulckly named
Hunter, Frank Corrl, Australian repre
sentative, called upon Norman Ander
son to act as a windshield, while Percy
Lawrence depended upon Speedy Van
dcrberry to pilot him to the front.
Corrl was the first to get his pace and
went tearing around without nny seem
ing let up for eight miles. Then the severe
strain began to demand Its toll. He let
down and when he did the always chal
lenging Lawrence shot into the lead
Corrl was In second nosltlon with Col
lins one-half lap In the rear of the lead
er. Sutter was last. Collins passed Corrl
In the fourteenth mile and from this
point on It was a fight between Collins
and Lawrence.
Sutter Has Tire Trouble
Just about the time Sutter began to
grow dangerous, due to the careful pac
ing of Jimmy Hunter, he developed tire
trouble, and hefote he changed bicycles
he had lost three laps. Hunter began
to burn up space and carried his man
around the dlpk at a dizzy pace. He cut
down one Inp on Corrl. but failed to
make any gain on the now fast going
Collins and Lawrence.
Going Into the nineteenth mile Collins,
now on high speed, sped along the upper
part of the track, successfully challenged
Lawrence, broke the deadlock, and from
this stage until the finish always was In
front. Lehman carried his man along
SteatlllV. Hlld nt the tlllrtv.Ml-rth mile
j gained one lap on Lawrence. The latter
had one lap on Corrl, with Sutter three
lans behind the leader. This same order

unconscious. He was In the lead at the
time. Wyllt was aken to the Methodist
Hopltal, where It was found that he was
severely burned.
Wylle had not been riding long. He
had been making so good that his par
ents decided to attend nnd see him In the
big race. They witnessed tho accident,
and doubtless this will servo to Incur pa
rental displeasure and opposition to the
cycle game for this promising youth.
Speedy Vandeberry was forced to take
third money In the three-mile profes
sional motorcycle raco, trailing Billy
Armstrong nnd Harry Klebcs. In the
two-mile motorcycle race, however, Van
deberry was the winner.
Victor Llnnrt, Injured Belgian rider,
will start In the forty-mile race tomor
row night. Vincent Madonna, Menus
Bedell nnd Paul Drosbach will be the
other starters.
