BIG CAVANAGH IS
THE CYCLING STAR
Defeats G0ullet and Verri in
Unfinished Race at RAIN
Check Meet.
KRAMER HAS THE LUMBAGO

Before the more important races
on the program at the yelodrome had
reached a conclusion last night rain
put stop to the meet and about
$500 fans tucked their rain checks
away in their wallets and dashed
for home This is once the fans got
the best of it, for after seeing eleven
heats and three finals. that afforded
very interesting competition, their
tickets are still good for another
meet.
Champion Frank Kramer was not
at the Velodrome last night The peer
less one is sick and this is the first
time in his long career that he
has ever failed to appear at a meet
here. The champion is suffering
with lumbago, but it is not of Sc
we're nature, and he expects to ride
Sunday.
Big Frank Cavanagh, of Newark,
was the bright star of the evening.
The local athlete was in fine form,
and he showed that he is as good
as the Velodrome press agent has
claimed he is. although he repeated
ly failed to live up to expectations in
the past In the French point race
Cavanagh outrode ALT Goullet and
Francesca Verri and he did it in
most decisive manner, taking both
of the heats in which he started. In
the first heat Cavanagh met Goullet,
and the majority of the fans ex-
pected to see the Australian win, but
Cavanagh took Goullet a full lap
and won from the front without any
apparent difficulty. The time for the
last eighth of a mile was u is sec
onds, which is very fast In the
heat against Verri the big fellow du-
plicated his performance in the first
heat, and the time was again fast.
In the second heat of this race
Verri defeated Joe Fogler in handy
fashion, only to fall before the speed
of Goullet in the heat which fol-
lowed. When the race was stopped
on account of the track being too wet
for safe competition, Cavanagh had
perfect score with two points
Goullet and Verri were tied for sec
ond with three points each and Fog
Ter had four points.
In the one-mile professional handi-
cap the two backmarkers, Jackie
Clark and ALT Grenda. failed to quail
ify. Floyd Krebs won the race from
the 90-yard mark, with Alessio Stef
ano, of Italy, second; Ernest Jollus
third; George Cameron fourth, ant
Norman Anderson, of Denmark, fifth
The Italian looked like sure win.
ner, but Krebs nipped him at the
tape.
Hans Packebusch. of Germany
ran away with the two-mile invita-
ton for professionals, winning by
over thirty yards, after a hard ride
in which he rode unpaced for over &
mile. On the fifth lap of the race tn,
German jumped the bunch and opened
up a gap of fifty yards, which he in.
creased to a full half lap, when the
field refused to go after him. Three
laps from home Ernest Gauthier, OF
France, went after Packebusch, blu
the latter, who is a great unpacet
rider, never faltered, and his fellow
European failed to gain more than q
few yards on each lap. In the sprint
for second money, Jokus beat Krebs
with Cameron fourth and Julian Pro
vost. of France, fifth. Krebs came

have been disqualified. but Referee
Ross, who was on the back stretch
did not see the offense and the Fly.
ing Dutchman" got away with 1t.
The other race which reached a
conclusion was the half-mile amateur
handicap which Champion Donald
MacDougall won after a hard ride
from scratch 'Gittle Mac" got the
field on the first lap and continued
on his way to the finish. He was all
in at the twelfth pole and Billy Petit
who had an easy ride In the midst OF
the bunch. slipped through an open
ing on the pole and came very near
nipping the champion at the tape.
Old Adam Byerman finished third
and H. Yarnold, of Newark, was
fourth
finished Sunday, but the other races
on the bill for last night that were
not run will not be carried over.
There are two more heats and the
final of the point race to be run. In
the heats Goullet will meet Verri and
Cavanagh will meet Fogler. Sum-
maries.
