w sional ranks fighting it out for
supremacy in the five-mile ma
tional championship event at the PVel-
odrome track on Sunday afternoon,
racing of the liveliest order is in store
for the bike followers. The titular
event Is TO be the feature event of h
excellent care arranged, and twenty
of the fastest pedal-pushers now riding
in the East will face the starter in the
championship affair.
Champion Frank l.. Kramer will have
his work cut out for him In this
race. as he will be pitted against the
best men in the business. Not only
that, but the East Orange flyer Will be
called upon to ride a fast race, as no
doubt the men will cut out a fast pace
with the idea of killing off the nine
time title-holder for the final jump. 1t
is a well-known fact that Kramer never
did care to ride a race in which there
was a big field, but on Sunday he will
be compelled to do so, as the race is to
be ridden in n heat. 1t would not be
surprising IL he had to fight it out with
Joe Fogler, Eddie Root and Paddy
Hehir, the same trio hat put up such
a wonderful fight against Frank on
Wednesday night. The three riders are
in great form and should give the
champion a real battle. Fogler Is rid
ing faster han ever before in his life,
land the way he flew around the track
at the opening night meet was a reve-
lation to the followers of the game.
Root is also travelling at a great clip,
and will be a dangerous man in all
races if he continues to ride in his
present form. as will Hefir. With such
a big field starting there is no telling
what will happen, but the race will be
a corker all the way.
ALI Goulette, the Australian title
holder, who has not yet struck his
gait, will ride an Australian pursuit
match race against Percy Lawrence. 1t
will be the first real test that the
rider from the Antipodes has had since
his arrival in America, and the out
come of the race is awaited with in
%terest. Lawrence's ability Is well known,
and 1t is certain that he Is in grand
form to stand a gruelling Gou-
lette has the reputation of being a
/ good plunger al well as a sprinter. and
he Will have a chance to demonstrate
his ability when he stacks up against
the Frisco wonder.
{ There Is a half-mile handicap race
on the card for the pros, with Foglei
: and Kramer starting from the honor
mark, while the other cracks will be
given small allowances. Norman Ander-
son, the Dane, who has been riding
from big handicaps all season, will be
. brought back nearer the honor mark
men, as he is riding like a house afire.
A two-mile invitation is also down on
. the card for the pros.
!, A half-mile handicap and q two-mile
r open race are Town on the program
for the amateurs. Schiller. Mccarthy
!. and Passenger will start from scratch
]. in the event. Passenger is riding In
great form and will make them all
hustle. Kydelsen. the Dane, is another
p; dangerous man who will bear watching
