SALT LAKE CYCLISTS
ON THEIR WAY EAST

drome in the professional division will
be the classiest that has ever per-
formed in Newark. There will be no
less than ten top-notchers here, which
is the greatest number of big leaguers
gotten together since the old days of
cycling.
The Wednesday night meets are to
be continued at the Velodrome. 1t
was announced last week tnat there
would be no more mid-week meets
this season, but the many requests
from cycling devotees for more night
racing caused the management of the
Velodrome to reconsider their deter
mination to run but one a week.
Races Tomorrow.
The program for tomorrow night
will be featured with a match race
between Frank Kramer, the champion
of the world, III Andre Perchicot,
the champion Of France. The other
events on the caro- are a one-mile
open, two-mile handicap and two-mile
invitation for the professional sprin-
tiers, a fifteen-mile paced handicap
and a two-mile handicap and one
mile open for the amateurs.
The Perchicot-Kramer match should
prove a strong attraction. This Won
derful French Splinter gave Kramer
the greatest battle he has had this
season in the rerun of the worlds
championship at the Velodrome Sum
day, and fully half of those who wit
messed the match are of the opinion
that Perchieot was the winner.
Others believe that the worst Perichi-
cot got was a dead heat, and the
judges are being roasted to a turn
for their decision in giving the race to
Kramer.
Perchicot believes. that he won and
he also believes hat he will beat
Kramer when they meet in the match
tomorrow night.
