ooULLET BEATS cAvANAdH HANDaY IN MATCH RACE

Big Frank Cavanagh failed 20 ride
up to expectations last night at the
tvelodrome and ALI. Gouliet, of Aus
tralia, defeated the local cyclist in
two straight heats of the match race
IS that was one of the feature events
on the programme. Lack of exper-
fence was largely responsible for Cav
-anagh,s defeat Goullet, a finished rider
in every way, outgeneraled the young
ster and 1t was the foreigners good
>sheadwork more than his speed that
carried him to victory.
The real star of the evening was
Jackie Clark, who won both Of the
open races for professionals. Anna
teur Champion Donald MacDougall
triumphed in the amateur scratch
race after a hard ride and Paddy
Hehir, another Australian, accounted
for the invitation race, which was
gruelling contest from the start to
the finish. Hehir. however, was robb-
ed of the fruits of victory, as he was
disqualified by the referee for coming
through on the flat in the final lap.
This gave first money to Lloyd Thorn
\ as, the Californian. All of the
events on the bill furnished good
racing and the attendance was the
largest of the season at a mid-week
meet.

Star were present and the young
sters were most enthusiastic. AS

cheers, that echoed far and wide in
the Vailsburgh section, greeted Cham
pions Kramer and MacDougall, who
were the favorites.
There was no more than a slight
evidence of team work in the one
mile open for professionals and Kra-
mer, Joe Fogler and Goullet register

that George Cameron, Cavanagh and
Clark had combined in the final. They
d were wrong in including Clark in the
combination, however, for Jackie was

eron gave Cavanagh a pull which he
started three laps from the finish and
prevented Kramer, Goullet and Fog
Ter, who had the rear positions, from
coming up and taking favorable posi-
lions for the finish. Cameron's work
was so nifty he got away with 1t.
He did not appear to be anything
more than pacemaker, but as the
race progressed, he gradually in
creased the pace so that when the
backstretch was reached just prior
to the bell lap, he had Cavanagh go
Ing at close to top speed. At this
point Grenda started to come out
and Clark moved up alongside of
Cavanagh which caused the big fell

led clear into the home stretch when
he weakened and Clark and Frances
