Fans well know the ability of Peck.

riding and what he can do. He has
proven that next to Hasha he is the

the majority. have not. He is a man
well built, too. that usually rides
the motorcycle for the sole purpose
of breaking worlds records. This
fact is clearly backed up by the fac,
that he has to his credit every

MacD Crowned
as King OF Amateurs
Crowd Cheers Young Newarker Even
After He Is Beaten by Lotus in FLYER mile Race.
Match Race Between Grenda and FrioI Is a
Farce, FriOl FOuling in First Heat.

Donald McDougall was proclaimed
amateur champion Frank Kramer
captured the two-mile professional
title event, Johnny Bedell won the
paced race. while the Grenda-Friol
match ended after each had taken a
heat. All these happened at the
Newark Velodrome last night. and
just a bit more was added. Young
McDougall was probably the most
honored of the crew. The diminutive
simon-pure, although beaten in the
titular race of FIVE miles by Alvin
Lotus. his nearest rival. last night,
had previously won five other cham
pionships, and is thus the champion
amateur rider of America. His
chances of coping the worlds title
next week lock very good. AS for
Kramer. in the world events he looks
like the best bet. No one gave him
any kind of a fight last night, and
1t might be called a lively workout.
Emil Friol took the first heat of
his match with Grenda very handily,
but was disqualified in the second
Tor switching the Australian. Owing
to a ~smash-up in the three-mile pro-
fessional, Grenda's wheel was not in
fit shape for the final heal of the
match race.
Carl Ruden carried Johnny Bede1
to a three-straight heat victory over
Lawrence, Pye and Moran. Bedell
took the last two heats at ten and
FIVE miles. respectively, while Moran
grabbed the first.

In TENNIS
California Players Take First
Place in National Champion
ship Events.

NEWPORT, r. l.. Aug. 22.-The
national lawn tennis championship
doubles was transferred from the
East to the far West for the first
time when Maurice E. Mclaughlin.
of San Francisco, and Thomas c.
Bundy. of Los Angeles, wrested the
title from Raymond d. Little and
|Gustave F. Touchard, of New York,
last years winners, in a four-set
match on the Casino courts. The
scores of the match, which was
played before an eager crowd of more
than 1000, were 3-6, SO, 81, 10.
The ~challengers were easily the
masters of the situation, although
Bundy was bothered somewhat in the
first set by the fusilade of shots which
Little and Touchard aimed at ms
side of the court In the belief that he
might not have fully recovered from
his slight illness Of Tuesday; but
the little Californian seemed to grow
stronger rather than weaker as the
match went on, and by the middle of
the second set he was scoring Amos 81
as many places as Mclaughlin. while
some of his net work equaled that OF
his brilliant partner.
Little was the stLddier player oil
the Eastern pair. for Touchard had
difficulty in keeping within the chalk
marks, and many Of his returns IN
the middle sets fell far outside.
OF the sixteen matches played in
the singles tournament yesterday, fff-
teen in the fourth round and one in
the third. twelve were decided in
straight sets. The four ~extra-set af-
fairs were between r. N. Williams.
and Carl Biddle. of Philadelphia; G.
P. Gardner, jr., and n. W. Niles, of
Boston: G. NJ. Church, of New York,
and c. S. Cutting, of Boston, and w.
NJ. Washburn, of New York, and H,
johnson, of Boston.
The Gardner-Niles tennis contro-
versy- was easily the star event n
singles, and after the third set II
looked as if Niles, who is the Massa-
chusetts champion, had found Gard
ner's measure for the first time In
their numerous meetings; but Gard
ner played brilliant tennis in the
fourth set, squaring the match. and
then playing Niles off his feet with
the speed and versatility of his game
