...Lagarto ("The Lizard") was built in 1922. That made her, compared to her rivals last week, a specimen of early Americana but antiquity is not El Lagarto's only distinction. For her first owner, Ed Grimm, who called her Miss Mary, El Lagarto performed miserably in the Gold Cup races of 1923 and 1924.

...Fred Spencer of Plainfield, N. J. and William ("Torchy") Peden of Vancouver. B. C.: one of the closest six-day bicycle races on record; by 14 points (for sprinting) from the teams of Norman Hill & William Grimm. Three other teams were in the tie for distance covered, 2,482 mi. and 9 laps. Month ago Peden and Jules Audy of Montreal who started the Manhattan race with Peden but was forced out by injuries after a fall, won a six-day race, in Chicago...
