France Has Very Fine Show o
Getting in, but Kramer Is
the Favorite.

On the eve of the worlds cham
pionship France appears to have the
best chance to annex the worlds
title. With three representatives
America and one from Australia,
America a nd one from Australia.
the Frenchmen are the strongest in
the big race that will be decided at
the Newark yelodrome tomorrow aft
ernoon.
The average Newark fan may not
figure this way. but by a careful,
comparison of the riders it must b,
admitted that America is far from
sure OF taking the worlds title. OF
the five American riders who have
made the semi-ina1 heats but one,
Frank Kramer, the American cham
pion, is in the same class with the
three Frenchmen. He is the only
Yankee with a asible chance OF
making the final, While two of the
representatives from France have q
very excellent chance of being among
the finalists. And if two of them
do succeed in qualifying for the final
with Kramer, the American riders
chances are none too bright. The
Frenchmen are sure to work together
in every legitimate way, n ever
the great Kramer is fast enough to
defeat two riders who are as good as
Friol and Perchicot, the mainstays of
the French entry.
If all but one of the Frenchmen
are shut out in the final elimination
trials it will be much easier for the
Yankee. ALT Grenda is a figure In
the race.
But the serious question is, can
Grenda beat any of the three French
men. Friol and Perchicot are both
faster in a French style race than
the giant Australian, who does not
shine in a slow race that is confined
to practically n quarter-mile CT rae
ing. Friol has entirely recovered
from the effects of the spill that dis
abled him in the tandem champion
ship a week ago, and he. is again
tie speed demon that ran Kramer so
hard in the series of match races
two weeks ago. :
Perchicot, the champion of France,
has made a wonderful Improvement

in the past few days in his form, and
he stands out as a championship pos
sibility. This Frenchman is Very
fast, and it is easily seen how he
beat Friol i'll the championship of
France this year. Friol said that
race was won or a fluke. but after
watching Perchicot ride one is in
clined to believe that it was won on
pure speed. Perchieot certainly
shapes up like a champion. He has
got everything and he has the addi-
tional advantage of being absolutely
fearless, which is more than "a be
said of the rest of the foreigners
who have competed here this sea
son.
If the race is rough it will favor
Perchicot, and he will give as much
and possible more than he receives in
this line. That is one reason why
the wise ones" figure the French
combination as being such strong
zcontenders for the title. If Friol and
|Perchicot make the final the latter
can do much to help the other 10
win.
Marcel Dupuy. the third French
man in the race, is very fast, but as
timid as a hare. He will lot fight
back if the going is rough and his
speed will count for naught. But in
a three-man race Dupuy will show to
better advantage.
There is o much chance for any
rough work in the championship race.
Dupuy has a chance. He is faster
than any of the Americans, with the
exception of Kramer, and he is as
good as Grenda in a French style
race.
pend entirely upon circumstances. His
one chance of winning is through
having a very favorable angle present
itself. He has a fair chance to make
the final, but in the final he will be
up against a tough proposition. If he
has Kramer and Friol or Perchicot
about the best he can hope for is
second.
The championship is the all-impor-
tant event on the program tomorrow.
but there is a big card of professional
sprint races in addition to the title
event. There Is a ten-mile open. in
which all of the riders in the cham
pionship will compete; a one-mile
handicap and a two-mile invitation
for the professionals. For the anna
tears there is a half-mile handicap,
five-mile open and a novice.

tory over Tom Hughes to wind up
their final game of the seasons series

Even If the Bengals do not accom-
plish that difficult feat today, their
excellent record on this road trip will
be unsmirched and they will go
home for a double-header tomorrow
