Clarke and GouIlet Each Fined
$40 for Loa6ng in FOur=COr-
nered Match Race, Which Is
Easily Won by Frank Kramer
in Straight Heats.

An attempt was made at the bicycle
races at the Velodrome yesterday TO
eliminate teaming, and the referee was
partially successful. Three riders VINO
have been friendly to one another
during the season, were set hacK ny
the referee and took their medicine
Eddie Root. Joseph Fogler and Paddy
Hehir were the unfortunates. There
was other teaming but 1t escaped II
eye of the referee. Jackie Clarke anu
Alf Goullet were each fined $40 for not
doing their share In the fouf-corhereu
match race, which was easily won ny
Frank Kramer in straight meats
The unfortunate affair OF the aiter
noon was Oscar Schwab's fall, alter
competing in the one-mile handicap
He broke his collarbone. He was re-
moved to the City Hospital at the d.
reetion of William c. Fisher, the tracK
.nhysician. 1t was declared that
SchWab will not be able to race again
this season.
The four-cornered match race was a
dlsapnointment not because kramer
won the affair, but because ne was
given no battle by the others. In the
first heat. after jockey'ng about the
track for three laps Lawson stole
away, and followed by Kramer got
such a lead that Goullet and clarke
did not even attempt to get into the
running. Clarke tried to get into ms
stride when Kramer and lawson
n,,Iled away and set sail after the
deeting pair. When it came Goullet $
tnrn Ia pace he went almost at a
snails pace, and Clarke, discouraged
sat nm and refused to finish. Kramer
allowed Lawson to take him all the
way. and then on the lone strelIh
inst breezed home an easy winner
The second heat was a bit better, put
NOT what the crowd expected. For I'VE
laps the riders sea-sawed for position
and each was given a turn at setting
the lead. on the bell lap Clarke shot
m the front and had a lead of five
Yards over Kramer. Around the track
tho two tore with Goullet trailing
about ten wards. Kramer rode mighty
close alongside Of Clarke and -sradlr
alIv pulled past him. and then beat
him in the stretch. Goullet, too, beat
nut the Rocket, while Lawson was a
poor fourth.
The fve-mile professional was the
best event on the card Here each
man. working for himself, gave up the
best that was in him, and the crowd
saw a spectacular event. The dollar
bill for the leader of every lap made
all the boys hustle, and at the com
Iqpletion of -four and a half miles there
were only eight riders left out of a
large field. Goullet was q bit Wild m
this event and was twice guilty OF
switching, but il esca ped the attention
of the referee. Two laps from the
wind-up, when Hehir tried to get out,
he was switched by Goutlet, ard on The
last In. when Clarke tried to get by
GoullSx was again guilty IF his rough
work. On the last lap around Clarke
got out and battled for three-quarters
of a lap with Goullet. Here Fogler
came up and in a strugg'e to the tape
beat out the fast Australian. Willie
Fem rode a good race and captured
a major portion of the Jap prizes.
The one-mile professional ~handicar
saw Referee Walter Bardgett swing
the mighty axe and take from the list
of winners Paddy Hehir and Joseph
Fogler, who teamed with Eddie Root
John Reeber, who was fortunate
