GOULLET'S ROUGH WORK KISSED BY
YELODROME CROWD; CLARKE MARTYR
The Rocket in Addition to Losing Championship Event, Trails
Goulet in Match Race-Moto Race Between Col
Inns and Moran Won by Former.

There was some excuse for Jackie
Clarke not winning the half-mile ma
tional championship event when he
was roughly treated, but he had no
excuse to offer in the match race in
which he was second TO Goullet at the
Nelodrome last night. 1t was apparent
from the jeering of the crowd that
they were disguised with the persist
ent rough methods that Clarke is being
subjected to at the hands of Goullet,
who takes very kindly to the cham
pion. The crowd was also alert in dis
covering many teams that existed in
the other professional event, which
were also roundly scored.
Tho trial heat of the championship
ven narrowed the field of riders to
Kramer, Clarke, Fogler and Drobach
IN one heat and Menus Bedell, Goullet,
John Bedell and Eddie Root in the
other. Menus Bedeil got on the wheel
of Goullet and just nosed out Root,
although it looked as though Root was
a bit ahead. The second semi-final
was a hummer and resulted in a pretty
race between Kramer and Clarke, who
qualified for the final heat. In the final
the men lined up as follows from the
pole. Kramer, Clarke, Goullet and
Menus Bedell. The men got away slow
" and Goullet almost fell. Krame
took the lead, followed by Clarke.
Kramer then started to put on steam,
followed by the others. Coming around
the far turn Goullet drew alongside of
Kramer and bottled up Clarke. Jackie
tried to forge ahead but was prevented
from doing so by Goullet. who alrnost
