go RANK L. KRAMER'S ability as a
r. rider in a big field will be put ~
a test on Sunday afternoon at the
Velodrome track. The test will come
in the ive-mile national championship
event for professionals. The affair is
to be run in n heat. with a field of
twenty in the race. This kin of 4
championship struggle will be a novelty
to the bike followers, for all other
championship races ridden in this city
have always been run in heats with
two semi-dnals and a final. Besides
the titular event five other corking
good races are down on the program,
including an Australian pursuit match
race in one heat between Percy Law
renee and Alt. Goulette, the Australian
title-holder.
The championship affair has created
unusual interest, and the followers are
anxious to see just what kind OF a
race the champion can ride when he
is in with a big field, Many doubt that
he will be able to win, while there are
inst as many who believe that he will
be the first over the line. He will have
to ride in his best form to turn the
trick, however, for all the cracks will
be In the ace, including Joe Fogler,
who is riding better thai ever before in
his life; Norman Anderson. Paddy
O'Sullivan Hehfr. Eddie Root. Floyd
Krebs, Freddy Hill, Freddy West, Ed
die Rupprecht, ALT. Goulette. Lawrence,
who made such a wonderful ride on
Wednesday night; the Bedell brothers,
Stein. Peter Drobach and Jumbo Wells.
The race promises to be a thriller from
start to finish.
Aft Goulette, the lad from h Anti
podes, will have to go some If he ex-
poets to "a Percy Lawrence, the
Frisco lad, in their match race. Gou-
lette showed a flash of his true form
on Wednesday night by qualifying for
the national championship affair In his
heat, but only to be shut out in the
semi final after a hard ride. Lawrence
is in the best form at the present, and.
as he has never lost a pursuit race
that he has started in, he does not in
tend to let the Australian be the first
to conquer him. The race will be u
in one heat.
The half-mile handicap for the
money-chasers should be a good race,
for both Fogler and Kramer will be the
scratch men, while the other stars will
be allowed liberal handicaps. Then
there will be a two-mile invitation for
the money-chasers which will be inter-
esting.
The amateurs will fight it out in two
events, a half-mile handicap and a wo-
mile open. In the handicap affair Phil
Wright, the Salt Lake City boy; Joe
Passenger, the local rider. and Fred
Mccarthy, the Canadian title-holder,
Will be on scratch. 1t is possible that
Handicapped Kelsey, after seeing Jake
IMagin and Chris Schiller ride in such
great form on Wednesday night, will
put them on the honor mar with the
other three. Both of them are travel
ing very fast, and will make the flnal
interesting If they succeed in qualify
ing for that sprint with h other trio.
The two-mile race will be a good one,
for a big entry has been made. With
all the cracks in the amateur ranks rid
ing in their best form, some good racing
is looked forward to when the simon
pures take the saucer. The races will
start at 3 o'clock sharp.
