will have to be some tall sprinting
before long if hope is entertained of
splitting up the field. To me it looks
as if Goullet could go out and get a
| lap by himself. That bird is the best
man in the race by every so much
and what he is doing tied with sew
eral teams Is a mystery. Besides.
Fogler, his partner. is in grand form.
and although Joe doesn't care about
making the try he will do his best
IL "Goullie' starts anything. OF
course, Goulett and Fogler may not
be able to get lap all by their lone
some, for Root and McNamara are a
very strong team and will surely be
the contenders. Root is the same
great rider as ever, and he might
have been a big man in the bike
game If it hadn't been for his nasty
ways. He is one of the best six-day
racers in tho world and no one can
take that away from him, but he
plays his cards poorly and as result
he is generally on the outside. His
partner, Mcnamara, is disappoint-
ment to me. I expected to see Reggie
one of the "bear-cats" of the race,
but instead he is only a hanger-on.
setting little pace and never taking
much of a chance in the Jams"
But Root and McNamara make a
very good team, and they will not be
far behind the winners at the finish.
O.
The new team of Clark and Grenda
is far from being the bear team
everybody expected these two sturdy
Australians would be. Both boys, of
course, have had bad luck and you
can't stand much the worst of it In
six-day race and then come up
smiling. Clark has been sick most of
the time, and he doesn't seem to have
rounded to as yet. Grenda's main
complaint has been his hip, which is
falls. The big fellow is suffering
much pain, despite the doctors best
efforts to relieve him, but Grenda
goes on gritting his teeth and puts
up a really brave ride. OF the two
men Grenda Ia surely In the better
condition and he is doing most of the
hard work for the team. Clark Is
willing, but he isn't there, SO big
Alf' shoulders all the labor he can
pack on his shoulders and doesn't say
a word.
] see by their stories that Kramer
and Mcfarland are picking Goullet
to win the six-day race. Well, 1t took
both OF these famous experts a long
time to get wise to the best team in
the race. Both are nice fellows and L
wouldn't have minded in the least to
have told them all about the winners
long ago, but both Mcfarland and
Kramer evidently didn't want to risk
their regulations until somebody
showed them something. Well, they
have been shown all right, for Goullet
and Fogler, barring accident, should
win the race easily. ] really believe,
notwithstanding the classy Root-Mc-
Namara team, that Goullet and Fog
Ter could gain lap on the field If
they made real hard effort.
