sisted by ALI Goullet, easily won the
hye-mile national championship event
at the Velodrome yesterday. thereby
assuming a comfortable lead in the
chase for the title. Jackie Clarke, for
some unknown reason, dropped out
two laps from the finish. paving the
way for what looked like the best team
combinations at the track this season.
Clarke, when he ~dismounted, ON
planned to Referee Bardgett that he
had been unkindly treated by Paddy
Hehir. but it did not go.
The teaming il in this event was
very apparent. Kramer had the wheel
of Goullet from the start to the finish
of the race Anyone with but half an
eye could have seen Goullet o
around for the champ on the back
stretch, and then go fast enough to
head off the others. Many were sorry
to see Kramer employing such tactics
TO win a race. Goullet should have won
the affair. IL teaming Is to be allowed
then the referee should show no favor

The race itself was a hummer, and
the time shows what II must nave
been. The lap prize looked good to
Rupprecht and Pedlar Palmer and
they pulled away. Charley Stein was
after them and pulled the big train
with him. The relative positions Of
the big guns remained unchanged TIL
Ernie Pye shot to the front, followed
by Goullet, Kramer, Hehir. Clarke and
Fogler, in the order named. Mactar-
land, from the rear, saw what was up
and in order to prevent a stalling al
fair tried to get in front. He was pre-
vented from doing this by Pye, whe
set out at a faster clip. Pye tired him
sef and was then succeeded by PETE
Drobach. At -four miles Kramer was
number five aud Clarke seven. From
then on Clarke was given a most de
cidedly rough rae by his fellow coun-
/ trymen. Every time he tried to get NJ
Hehir would switch him, and when Inc
was on the last trip around, HehirI
ably assisted by the others, put Clarke
out of the running. Then the best
team of the afternoon, Kramer and
Goullet got busy. Around the track
they tore, each trying to get the lead
When they got on the home stretch
Goullet deliberately looked back, ano

1t was most disgusting, and it was the
opinion that both should have been dis
qualified.
In the one-mile match race, tandem

Peter Drobach and Halstead were the
paeemakers. M~acFarland took his
stand across from the Judges stand

Kramer won the toss and took the pole

around Clarke. only to be followed by
Clarke, who succeeded in getting tn
pace. 1t was APPARENT that Kramer was
digging after the third lap. On the
final lap Kramer dropped back a bit
thinking he would beat out the Au'
s~tralian, but he was mistaken. Clarke

he is second to no man in a hard race
From a bad position he came high OF

stretch a leader and winner in the fas
