The grand final of the summer
derby of cycle racing called the
Grand Prize of July will be u at
the Velodrome tomorrow afternoon,
and this event furnished one of the
features of a program of races that
promises well, and the best racing
of the season should result. Man
ager John Chapman has arranged a
card that is designed to please the
most exacting of fans. In addition
to the big race there Is a paced race
on the program that will bring the
famous Joe Nelson before the pub
lie again, and his return to the
game is In itself an event that will
interest the devotees of cycling in
Newark.
A fva<mile open for the profess
SIGNALS, a race that has always been
popular, will furnish another medium
for bringing together the star sprint
ers. On account of the two post
ponements of the Grand Prize, the
semi-1nals. of which were to have
been run Wednesday, the entire race
will be finished tomorrow.
Repechage Heat First.
The ~repechage heat of the Grand
Prize of July will be the first event
on the program. This will bring to-
gether the riders who ran secon in
the heats a week ago, and the win
ner will qualify for the third semi
final, which will give the rider an
other chance to make the final. Tne
riders who have qualified for the
repechage are John Bedell. Pete Dro-
bach, Menus Bedell, Dave Mackay,
Eddie Rupprecht, Jake Magin. Tom
ME Smith and william Morton. The
winner will be placed in the third
semi-frnal of the big race with Mar
eel Dupuy. OF France, and ALDER
Crebs. of Salt Lake. While the win
ner of this heat will have a chance
in the semi-final the speedy Creps
and the great French rider nave the
can. and 1t is doubtful II the
~rApechage winner will accomplish
any more than to win the money IN
the r~epechage.
Dupuy is now in the best of shape,
and he appears to be in the same
class with Frank Kramer n Alfred
Grenda, the bright stars of the Eas'
at the present time. Dupuy won his
heat IN convincing fashion last Sun
day and he should repeat tomorrow
The first semi-final is the hardest
of the three and will bring together
Frank Kramer. Tricky Comes ano
Frank Cayanagh. This will be a great
race within itself and will be hardly
less interesting than the grand final
Kramer Is the favorite in this semi
but he will meet strong opposition In
Comes and Cavanagh. The latter will
have great confidence in this event
as the race is his style, and he per-
forms best in small fields. Comes will
try to outguess Kramer and Cava-
nagh, and Cavanagh will try to out
ride them both. The big fellow knows
he has the speed and he will try to
ues 1t In the right way tomorrow.
He has thrown away many chances
this season through his timidity and
has not gained the place in cycling
that his natural ability deserves.
Cavanagh realizes this and he will
make a determined effort to make
good tomorrow. Comes will probably
be the pest" in this race, and will
be between Cavanagh and Kramer at
all times in an effort to get the ad-
vantage of a pull from the first man
to go. If Cavanagh should go with
Comes on his rear wheel it will be a
big task for Kramer to get around
and win. This was demonstrated
when Cavanagh won the half-mile
championship in which Comes was
second and Kramer third.
In that race the Frenchman knew
he could not win, SO he directed all of
his efforts to keep anyone from TAX
ing second money. OF course, Comes
