Br-r-occ-o-o!

One man, alternating with his partner, bicycled around Madison Square Garden continuously for six days (144 hours). Several other pairs of men did likewise. During that time they all rode more than 2,454 miles and 7 laps. One pair rode more than 2,454 miles and 9 laps. That pair won the International Six-Day Bicycle Race.

The winning pair consisted of Maurice Brocco "the little wop," and Marcel Buysse, native Belgian. For six days the architectural monstrosity of Madison Square resounded with the cry "Br-r-occ-o-o!" Idlers and sportsmen of a type would step in to see the race at odd intervals, would cry "Br-r-occ-o-o!" and depart.

The best man in the second pair was named Oscar Egg. Together with one Duprey, this Oscar Egg made a record in 1915--2,625 miles.
