The card of cycle races scheduled
for the Velodrome tomorrow after
noon would be most difficult to beat.
The team match, in which the "regu-
lars" and the outlaws will clash,
should furnish about the best racing
of the year. 1t is a four-cornered
affair, with Goullet, Clark, Cava-
nagh and Fogler on the one side and
Mcnamara, Spears, Hill and Root on
the other side The race is to be at
mixed styles, with individual sprint
matches, a four-man match and a
team pursuit race. The outcome of
this series of races is sure to prove
interesting to the fans, who are more
at odds over the turn of affairs than
are the riders. Really, while the
regulars are not throwing their
arms around the outlaws" they are
treating them with the utmost con-
sideration. Tho fans. however are
in battle array, and some real
scraps have occurred. Arguments
over the respective merits of certain
riders bring about hot words. The
first clash last Thursday night was
rather tame and all in favor of the
regulars" But tomorrow the OPP
posing forces will be on view SO often
that a better line win be able to be
drawn.
C
The Motordrome boosters touted
Mcnamara and Spears so strong that
perhaps too much is expected OF
them. The Velodrome fans might be
reserved in their opinion until they
see more of the boys. Against second
class riders, Mcnamara and Spears,
no doubt, looked like world-beaters,
but when they stack up against the
real fellows 1t is quite different. A
funny thing, some of the fans who
were weaned away from the Velo-
drome and lead to believe that the
real big show was across the
street" are very sore at the "touts"
who, they claim, misled them and
badly fooled them. They took the
wrong dope and they followed the
wrong crowd and now they are sorry
for it all. Some of the Motordrome
fans are also "peeved' because the
fight was not continued, and now they
will have to buy tickets to see the
races. That is awful, especially for
those who had full swing at the
Motordrome and who now view the
races from the bleachers at the Velo-
drome.

James Francis Moran is going to
fight the American Racing Cyclists
Union in the courts, If the members
of that organization fail to include
him among those who share in the
fines levied on the OUTLAWS" Just
what course Moran will take he is not
making public, but anyone can get his
opinion of Joe Fogler for the asking.
Moran says he'll get his share or
know the reason why, and how the
regulars" have the nerve to pass
James Francis up is about as sur
prising as was the consolidation.
Moran had talk with Champion
Kramer yesterday. He will have a
talk with lawyer on Monday. There
may not be court in existence that
will fit Moran's case, but If there was
any fairness or justice among the
Velodrome riders, they would not en-
ploy such cheap methods.

Writing from Berlin Clarence
Carmen, the Yankee pace follower,
tells of a race in which he finished
third in a field of five riders over a
distance of 100 kilometers. The win
ner was Saldow, with StellbrinlS
second The time was 1 hour Is
minutes SO S-5 seconds, and the great
Guignard was last. Sprint races were
also held on the same day and Walter
Rutt was the winner of the big event.
Meyer was second, Arend third and
Hourlier fourth. Carmen is coming
home soon and he will be engaged
to ride in the Million uppercu cir
cult next season.
This young man seems to know
something and he should be heard:

Kelsey claims that some of the out

at the Motordrome and will have to
be turned professionals If that is the
case, why not turn MacDougall?

Flanagan, Krushel, and Taylor and
