Six-Day Race

By pedalling 2,519 miles and 8 laps in six days, Percy Lawrence of San Francisco and Ernest Kockler, Chicago milk man, won a Six-Day Bike Race at Madison Square Garden. They were one lap ahead of the field. Reggie McNamara and Pete Van Kempen were second by virtue of 1,174 points gained in daily sprints throughout the week. Maurice Brocco, tiny Franco-Italian rider, twice had victory in his grasp in the closing hour of the struggle only to have his giant partner from Holland, Peter Moeskops, ease up and lose the winning lap.
