Laps Wiley and Lawrence
Several Times.

Jackie Clarke, the little p~edal-pusher
with the orange-c elored jersey. showed
the way to Champion fral Kramer
in the one-mile open. the only profess
sional event on the program for the
very big fellows at the Velodrome last
night.
Clarke beat the champ easily for
the first time this season. In order to
make the race fast. the management
gave the fnalists a pacemaker. IN the
person OF Chris Scheller. for the last
five laps.
Jackie went out first, and held to
Scheller's rear wheel until the last lap,
with Fogler. Goullet, Fem and Kramef
following in the order named. A Lap
and a quarter to go, the peerless
Frank made his jump, but he couldn't
| even pass Willie Fem. Fogler tried
hard to pass the Antipodean, out
failed IN his efforts. and theS finished
thus: Clarke, first; Fogler, second;
Fem, third; Goullet. fourth, and the
champion fifth. 1t was practically thu
first timesthis season that Kramer rode
the entire distance and was fifth man
at the end. But he has to give others
a show. and, although many think he
did not exert himself. there were other
good men in the race.
The motor-paced race between Elmer
Collins. George Wiley and Percy Law
renee resulted in a rather easy .iciory
for the former. The champion was III
grand form, and. although Lae.cnae
was, the first to catch his p~acenaker,
Collins easily caught him, and. further
more, headed him before -four niles.
1t was easily shown that Lawrence
was not in his best condition. AS many
times during the event the Two Ie-
naming riders scared him off as they
passed him. Wiley was also IN goodg
form, and. although he was Tapped
twice by his big rival. he rode a ,tsady
race, not losing his pace during the
entire twenty miles.
The "Bedell open would be a suit
able name for the two-mile invitation
professional, as the brothers finished
first and second in the event.
The three-mile amateur handicap
race was the prettiest witnessed on the
local track for some time. Alvin LOT
tus, the Providence youth, captured thu
event after one Of the greatest sprints
of his career.
Coming from behind on the boil lap
LOTUS passed the other riders like the
wind. and at the finish had his nearest
rival, Frank Cavanaugh, who finished
second, by twenty-five yards. Frank
Blatz, the amateur champion. was in
the race until the last lap, but he sat
up on his wheel to witness the final
sprint. Now that I ftus is here. Biat2
Is not having such an easy time of it,
and he will ave to be in great condi-
ton In every championship race, in or
der to be on top In the title column.
The half-mile open for the simon
pures which was the first overt OF the
card, was won by Blatz in easy fash
ion. Cavanaugh was second and Carl
Ericsson third.
