RECKLESS RIDING AT LOUISVILLE, Wholesale Fouling at the American Wheelmen's Meet COOPER DISaUALIFIED. Tried to Gain an Advantage by Unfairly Displacing a Rival. BAIN CURTAILED THE CARD. Walter Sanger Made the Best Finish of His Life In the Two-Mile Handicap.. LOUISVILLE, Kt., Aug. 16.— The last day of the races of the L. A. W. National meet ended with a quarrel among the racing men on account of fouling, the equal of which has not been seen on the National circuit / this year. The trouble arose in the five-mile National champion ship race, in which were entered all the cracks in attendance at the meet except danger. Cooper started the fouling by trying to push Bald from the pole with his hand. Bald retaliated, and after that ex ample from the leaders nearly every man who wanted the pole got it by pushing. Protests were entered with President Elliott of the league by Bald again?t Coooer, Cooper against Bald, Coburn against Cooper and Gardiner against Cal iahan. The finish was: Cooper first, W. E. Becker of St. Paul second and E. S. Acker of Philadelphia third. The time was 12:18 2-5. The officials took an hour to decide the matter of the protests and the result was that Cooper was disqualified for fouling and the race given to Becker, with Acker second and Nat Butler third. There is no appeal from this decision. A heavy rain storm prevented the running of the last race on the card, the professional trial for one mile unpaced, and that event was called off. The attendance to-day was the largest of the meet. Excursions had been run from all points within 300 miles of Louisville. Fully 10,000 people were in attendance at tne races. They saw Walter Sanger make the best finish of his life in the two-mile professional Handicap. His time was within one-fifth of a second of the world's record. There was no meeting of the racing board to-day, as nad been expected, and the matter of the charges against almost all the amateurs that were entered in tne National meet races that they were in the pay of manufacturers will be investigated at a called meeting, if at all. In a letter to the Meet Club President Elliott and Chairman Gideon of the racing board de clared the Louisville meeting the most succes~iu! in point of entertainment that has ever been held by the league. The wind-up of the meet was held at tne league headquarters to-night. Sum maries: Half a mile, National championship, first semi-final, Tom Cooper of Detroit won, Arthur Gardiner of Chicago second.
