BAILEY WILL TRY
AMERICAN STYLE
EngIishman's Next Race With
McDOugall Will Be Paced
Contest.
PRO STARS IN LONG RACE

The next effort OF Bill Bailey VIII
be to attempt to beat the American
champion, Donald McDougall, at
American style of racing, that is,
with pace in the race. After the
crushing defeat administered TO Nc
Dougal in a French style match at
the Velodrome Sunday, Mysterious"
Bill will meet the Yankee speed king
at the Yankee boys own game. If
the pace is fast, and Manager Frank
Million says that it Will be fast,
Bailey will find MeDougau q tougher
proposition than he was last Sunday.
Although IcDougall has shown his
superiority over the best of the
American amateurs in French style
races he has ridden but few of them
and was no match for the great Brit
isher whose efforts have been con-
fined to French style racing for years.
The English champion Is going
sightseeing today and will not re-
sumo training until tomorrow.
Bailey. with Frank Million and Floyd
Mcfarland, motored to Deal Beach
this morning. He likes America and
the Americans very much and there
is just a chance that he may return
here next year for the entire racing
season.
When it was announced at the
Velodrome Sunday that Champion
Frank Kramer. Jackie Clark and Al
fred Goullet would met in ten
mile tandem-paced race the coming
Sunday there was a rumbling noise
| that was interpreted as mingled as
constituent and appreciation. No
doubt the multitude was astonished
| to learn that the champion would
ride in such a match as his antipathy
| for long, hard races is well known.
Even though the fans know that
/ Kramer does not like these races they
! like to see him ride them just the
/ same.
Kramer did not offer a single word
of protest when he was approached
in regards to the match and surprised
Manager Million by not only agreeing
to ride, but declaring that he would
win, barring accidents. Kramer has
had a long rest, he Is in fine form
and he will take a lot of beating in
any kind of race. If the "ehamper"
was rot in the best of shape he
would never have agreed to ride such
a race.
| There will be a one-mile open, pro-
fessional, on the bill Sunday and the
champion with all of the rest of the
stars will ride in this race also. The
other races on the card are a two
mile tandem open, and an unknown
! distance race for the professionals
and a three-mile open, two-mile
novice and an Australian pusuit race
| for the amateurs in addition to the
| Bailey-McDougall match
