drome again tomorrow. Harry
Kaiser, the Bronx amateur, will OPP
pose the famous English amateur.
This will be Bailey's final match be-
fore meeting the American amateur
champion, Donald McDougall. OF
course, Bailey will have to win his
match tomorrow to get a match with
McDougall, for If Kaiser should de-
feat the Englishman there would be
little interest in a clash between the
American champion and the worlds
title-holder. The British boy expects
to win, and there are few who believe
that he will be beaten.
In Kaiser the champion will meet
boy who possesses a fair amount OF
speed and a good head, but an mex
perienced rider, as far as match races
are concerned. In open competition
Kaiser has performed very credit
ably this season, and last year he was
the runner-up to sMcDougall in the
worlds championship. He has never
been classed with McDougall in any
style Of racing, and he will probably
meet the same fate as Gus Wohlrab.
who went down to defeat in straight
heats last Sunday before the speedy
son of the British Empire. Kaiser
believes that he at least has a chance
in the match, although he is showing
less confidence than Wohlrab dis
played. While the professionals have
helped to prepare Kaiser for this
match and have attempted TO encour-
age him, the stories of the great
triumph of Bailey on the tracks Of
Europe told by the pros who have
seen him race abroad have reached
the ears of the Bronx boy and have
had a telling effect. They have taken

! The ten-n1ile Hustle Stakes the
big professional race on the bill to-
morrow, has caused more comment
during the week than any race. with
the exception Of the Newark Thou Z
sand" run this season. The style Of
the race does not appeal to many OF
the professionals, mostly for the
reason that it is certain to be a tough
race for the full distance, and all the
intermediate prize winners will have
to stick to the finish and be within
200 yards Of the winner to get their
prize money won earlier in the com
test.
This is too much OF good thing
discussing the race. why, a rider
might win FIVE of those SO mile
prizes and then puncture on the
ninth mile and not get a cent. That's
no business; 1t is not a sport. and. to
my way of thinking, it is all lot

There are some professionals who
do not like to take a chance-they
want sure money in every race and
they like to get it with the least ex-
penditure of effort. The majority.
however, are gamesters and will take
chance on anything once and on
some things they will take repeated
chances. True, this race is full Of
hazards, but it is going to be full OF
| luck for as many as may have bad
| luck in the contest. Should rider
take one or more intermediate mile
prizes and then fall or puncture and
| be out of the race, the riders who
were second TO him when he won the

are within the fateful 200-yard limit
at the finish. Even the third men in
| the various sprints for mile prizes
may get the money when it comes
| time to pay off. In case. the second
and third men in some of the inter
mediate finishes are out before the
|
moneys for these intermediate miles
will go to the riders who, in the opin-
| ion of the. referee and judges, have
put up toe best battle-or, in other
words, done the most hustling. The
race should be a bear and It will
bring out Jackie Clark. ALI Grenda,

such a race never having been staged
on the Velodrome. While the distance
is short, X will be snappy contest
and will surely furnish interesting
competition. The marks that have

to be quite liberal, but as the scratch
