As a pitcher Raleigh Aitchison is
the sensation of the International
League this season. He is a sure
enough find His work in the box
has been consistently good at all
times. 1t has been great many tines.
He was in for a great game yester-
Gay, and he came through a winner
after a battle lasting fourteen in
down to six hits, and he held every
Canadian son of them from reaching
the plate with a tally. His pitching
has been one of the many helps that
are keeping Newark up ia the lead.
g
But the honor of victory belongs,
in a great measure, to Manager Harry
Smith. as well as to Aitchison. 1t
was Smith who brought in the win
ming tally. always hard tally, and
he did his little stunt to perfection.
In the final inning, with one out, and
a run needed badly Manager Harry
squeezed in the winning run. Among
others present who did a heap
toward the Tigers victory yesterday
was Bert Tooley, who was back IN
the game for the first time in long
while. Tooley took the place OF Ed
die Zimmerman at third. He played
a wonderful game. He did much at
the bat and a whole lot in the field.

Favorites of the fans won the races
at the Velodrome last night. Frank
Kramer captured the half-nile cham
pionship, Jackie Clark defeated AL
fred Goullet in the flve-mile tandem
paced race, Goullet later on finished
first in the five-mile open race, which
was also tandem paced, and Donald
MaoDougall, the amateur king, made
all hearts glad, it seems, by winning
the five-mile open and the half-mile
handicap,
In defeating Goullet, Clark rode a
grand race. The pace was even and
fairly fast, which is supposed to suit
Goullet just about as well as it does
Clark, yet when it came to sprinting
the final lap Clark had more left
than his opponent and he beat him to
the tape in a hard, game ride. When
the tandem left the men with only
one lap to go, instead of two laps, as
should have been the case, Goullet
was in front and had what advantage
there was. He remained in the lead
to the backstretch and Clark was so
long in making up his mind to sprint
that he gave his admirers the
shivers. Rounding the twelfth pole
there was a sudden awakening and
Jackie began a race that was his
best of the season. He held to his
task and only won by inches at the
finish. His reception, as usual, was
very pronounced.
G
Goullet evened affairs in a way
when he won the five-mile open. He
beat his rival, Clark, who was second,
and who rode a fine race, considering
that he sprinted for more than two
laps. Joe Fogler, who had hard luck
after getting in a soft spot in the
championship semi-final and then
being put out of the race by a fall,
was third to Goullet. Both Goullet
and Fogler had an easy ride on
Clark's wheel, and Jackie did we'll to
finish second. With two laps to go
there was bad spill in this race, in
which Kramer, Packebusch and Cav
anagh went down. Packebusch was
badly bruised and Kramer and Cav
anagh We're scraped and otherwise
bunged up. The champions hand
was hurt and he is limping today.
The spill was caused by the tandem
pace-makers going up the track in
tead of riding down on the fat. Just
as the spill occurred Clark started
his sprint, and he and others who fol-
lowed him were lucky to escape the
spill.

In winning the championship event,
Kramer again displayed his wonder
full speed, yet he had his own troubles
beating Alfred Grenda, and only did
win right at the tape. In the final
heat also were Ernest Jokus and
