fooled everybody and that he has still
something up his sleeve which may
carry him home a winner in more
pretentious company. That may all
be, but we don't think so. We feel
as If Bill Is a fine fellow, a gentle
man, if you will, a cyelist of no mean
order, and the master of Donald Nc
Dougall beyond the peradverture of
a doubt, but we refuse to give
thought, for one moment, to the
numerous declarations that Bailey
will beat Kramer!" No, we won't
stand for that. Bill may be able to
show his heels to Goullet and Clark
and Grenda and such and so forth,
but we cannot, by the widest stretch
of the imagination, picture him lead
ing "our champion" the way home.
Yet that Is what some of the smart
men in the game are saying and
what not few riders are thinking
and saying.
Talk is cheap in every instance,
and it is doubly so in this case. 1t is
well for the fans and the smart men
and the riders to have their opinions
and to express them, too, but it seems
rather foolish that they should pick
out Kramer, the greatest rider in the
world today and the greatest rider
the world has ever seen, as a means
of sounding the praises of Bailey
Why not pick out some of the lesser
lights, for if one pro can race against
Bailey another pro can, for the simple
reason that the only way Bailey can
meet a pro is for him to turn pro-
This he may do. and before he leaves
the u. S. A. at that At one time it
was believed that the English Cycling
Association would allow Bailey, their
champion, to meet Kramer. our cham
pion, but it looks as il 1t is all off.
Permission was refused Bailey to race
against a professional once before,
and 1t isn't likely to go through now
But-and here you can take long
breath-if Bill Bailey defeats Donald
as decisively and as cleverly as he did
last Sunday, you can bank, boys. on
a match between Kramer and Bailey
in the very next week following.
That is the dope. How do you like
it, fans?
My size-up of Bailey is that he is
wonderful rider, but that he won't be
good enough to tax a Kramer. AS to
his style, it is neither alluring nor
we would interpret the word. He is a
fast boy on a bicycle, and he can go
a streak in his own way. He doesn't
jump, as our boys jump, but he I'M
winds much faster. From observa
ton, it Is certain that he doesn't like
a long distance, and he says himself
he isn't partial to a hard race. He
has a style that is deceiving in the
picture, but he Is not trying to fool
anybody. When racing it looks as If
he wasn't exerting himself, but he is
probably doing his level best He has
a good clear head on his shoulders,
but he didn't have to display much
generalship on Sunday. AS it looked
to me, McDougall rode his race and
Bailey rode his race. Bailey was the
better man, and won; but If they
were equal McDougall employed suf-
ficiently poor judgment to be beaten
even If he had the speed. But you
can bet your bottom dollar McDougall
is a much better rider than he
showed last Sunday, and you can also
go broke that Bailey can beat him
every day in the week. All this Is as
view it, and is given to you in it's
unadulterated form.
