Flying Wheels Highlight Springfield Club Tournament Action
Springfield Bicycle Club's Hampden Park meet produced fast times though a home stretch wind waned speed. Fred Wood edged Woodside in the world mile heat at 2:52 8-5, Hendee led a later 2:35 mile, and crowds of about 6000 watched six more events including tricycle and handicap races. Burnham suffered a serious header and may miss remaining races.
