M'DOUGALL OUT
TO GET REVENGE
Donald Primed for Race With
Bailey, but BritOn Is
Not Worried.
KRAMER IN HIS OLD FORM

Donald McDougan and Bill Bailey
are primed for their second match
race, which will take place at the
Velodrome tomorrow afternoon. Both
riders declared yesterday afternoon
they are FIT for the battle, and the re-
suit of the race will probably be de-
cisive. McDougall says that he is
much better than he was last Sun
day, when Bailey took two straight
heats of a French-style match from
the American champion. The Yankee
was forced TO forego training several
days this week, and 1t has done him
a great amount of good, for he was
overtained and lacked snap in the
first match
With McDougall in better condition
and the race tomorrow at the Amer
lean style, il is expected that he will
make a far better showing, and may
possibly be the winner in the second
tussle. However. Bailey was not at
his best in the first encounter. and he
too, is moving much better now,
which is something TO figure on. The
English boy is not the least bit per-
turbed over the fact that tomorrow's
race is at the American style. which
is supposed TO favor McDougan Sir
William" has that same confident air
that was unnerving to the American
champ" before the first race, and he
has got Donald guessing again.
While there is hardly any betting
on this race, the McDougall sup
porters are hopeful of a triumph for
the local boy. They figure that If the
pace is real fast McDougall will be
able to go the final lap at such speed
Bailey, who has always ridden the
easy French-style races. will not have
chance. In the matter of fast pace,
the McDougall adherents will prob
ably be pleased, for it is the intention
Of Manager Frank Million to put in
the best unpaced rider at the Velo-
drome to pace the race, with instruc-
lions to go the limit for five laps.
Bailey is very anxious to take this
match. He has just about made up
his mind to turn professional, in case
of another victory over McDougall
and accept the tempting offer of the
Velodrome management to meet
Champion Kramer in a French-style
match. His future plans, however,
hinge on the result of the race to-
morrow. For several years Bailey
has been as fast as the professionals
of Europe, and, while he has won in
Vulnerable championships and other
races, he has realized nothing more
than medals, cups. etc, and, of
course, the honor that attaches to
champion athletes. During those
quired a modest fortune had he raced
in the cash-prize division. He has
practically decided TO enter the pro-
fessional ranks, and his first race in
that division may be in Newark and
his opponent the greatest rider in the
world, Frank Kramer.
For an amateur to meet Kramer in
his first race would be an event in
itself. and should Bailey prove the
winner the promoters of Europe, who
have been trying for years to induce
Bailey to turn professional would
go mad with Joy. There is not a
