VEL0DROME RACES
ATTRACT A CROWD
Newsboys Enjoy Meet Which
Had Many Features-DeMara
Beats Menus Bedell.

The racing at the Velodrome was of
the best last night. The large crowd
enjoyed it immensely.
Kramer's failure to get in the money
in h one-mile open caused q
ripple of excitement among the faith
full. Both the champion and Clarke
We're badly placed at the bell lap, but
the foreigner was able to get out in
time and breezed into fourth place, a
few inches in front of John Bedell,
who finished fifth.
In the five-mile event Kramer did
not start, having taken Magin away
in his automobile. Clarke was COM
PEELED to drop out at the fourth mile
owing to a p%uncture. By a remarkable
ride Joe Fogler breezed in a winner,
with Willie Fem second and Menus
Bedell, Anderson and DeMara finishing
in the order named.
THE one-mile match race between
Menus Bedell and Walter DeMara
failed to come up TO expectations, De-
Mara winning easily in two straight
heats. At the crack of the pistol both
times DeMara went out in front and
was never headed. The second heat

a puncture on the third lap.
A great deal of interest was centred
in the N~ewsboys' Handicap, for pro-
velop into a match ace between Kra-
mer and Clarke.
Clarke, after getting up to the limit
men, was forced out at the fourth mile
by a puncture. Fogler, however, fur
nished the excitement when he jumped
the field, a la Kramer, and flashed over
the tape an open length ahead of Fem.
Menus Bedell managed to get third
from Anderson, with DeMara in fifth
place.
Nearly 500 newsboys witnessed the
meet as the guests of Manager Chap
man. Their sympathy was entirely
with the Australian Rocket" and they
cheered him every time he rounded the
track.
