Australian Championship.
The Australian championship, .
run in America and at the French
style of racing. will bring out the
biggest and the classiest field of for
eign riders ever in this country at
one time. The starters will be Ernie
Pye, Paddy Hehir, Jackie Clarke.
ALI Goullet, Gordon Walker and AL
fred Grenda. Pye has won the cham
pionship of Australia four times and
Grenda and Clarke have been two
times winners of the title. Hehir,
Pye and Walker are slated to ride at
the Salt Lake track, and this will
probably be their last appearance
here until the middle of next Sep
TENDER.
All of the Australians with the ex-
ception of Goullet are in the pink Of
condition. "Goullie" will be under a
slight handicap owing to a number
of boils that have broken out on his
legs. This Is not serious drawback,
however, and Goullet is confident
that the title of Australian champion
will fall to him. Grenda, Clarke and
Goullet are the favorites in this race,
each with about the same number
of supporters.
There is great rivalry among the
Antipodeans, each of whom is anx-
ious to be known as the best from
his country, and it is going to be a
hard fought race. The chances of
Pye and Walker are rather slim, but
the other four are hopeful of victory.
There will be a great incentive to
team it in this match and, no doubt,
Walker and Pye would be willing to
offer their services to the more con-
fident ones if they dared run the
gauntlet and take chances of being
fined or suspended

looks very attractive to the champ
err and he is sure to come through
a winner in this heat. In the five
mile open he will try to wipe out
the smear on his record caused by
Goullet's victory of a week ago in a
race at this same distance. That
time Kramer ran second.
The amateur champion of Denmark,
Carl Helversen, will make his bow
to local crowd tomorrow in the
half-mile handicap. He is also slated
to ride in the three-mile open.
