Four Teams to Take Part in This
-, Popular Class of
y Racing. IA.

The idea of inaugurating tandem
racing at the cycle meets in this city,
which will be done tomorrow on the
occasion Of the running of the special
$500 ~four-cornered match race, has
taken with local bike fans, and prom
ises to secure as much popularity as
the Optimist Club. A follower of cycle
racing is naturally an optimist, by vir-
tue of his association with the sport,
and as tandem racing opens up a new
avenue for the further enjoyment of
his pastime, it simply makes his smile
all the broader in anticipation of the
fun to come.
eThat this new tandem stunt will
prove an interesting innovation is the
general opinion expressed by bike fol-
lowers. Interest is centred chiefly in
the desire to see the teams take the
steep curves with the big machines,
and this, they say, will be the most
spectacular feature OF the race. 1t is
admitted that a high rate Of speed will
have to be maintained, as the banks
on the turns are at an angle of forty
f, five degrees, which, with two men on
a machine and a long wheel base,
means considerable in maintaining the
proper poise.
A singular fact about the rae is that
1t will mark the first time that tandem
racing Will have been tried on a board
track in Newark. When Freddie Voigt
was running the old Vailsburg track he
recognized the possibilities of this style
of racing and tried to arrange for 1t on
several occasions, but none of the
sprinters would tackle 1t, owing to lack
of knack required to manipulate. the
machines. OF late years 1t has become
popular on the foreign tracks, and, as all
the men entered for tomorrow's race,
even including Kramer, have ridden
tandem races in. Paris, they have no
conjunction about competing.
= The race viii be the means OF bring
ing Carl Vanoni, the Italian six-day
rider. out for his first race of h sea-
son, and among many he and Norman
Anderson, the Dane, have been made
the favorites, because OF their greater
experience in tandem racing on foreign
tracks. With others, Kramer and Moran
are picked to win, for there are many
who can see no one else but Kramer IN
a race, no matter what the style OF
competition. The management, too, mas
figured that these two teams should be

We have been careful this season to

that I, as president of the league, do not

rights to within five miles of the city's
boundary line.
Considering all, 1t is scarcely likely
that Elizabeth will gain a berth In the
Atlantic. We viii also go carefully in
taking in Reading. That club would
have to reduce its salary limit to a leyel
