BILL BAILEY'S VICTORY OVER
IN'DOUCALL SURE And CERTAIN,
BUT NOT SO VERY IMPRESSIVE
What They Had to Say
BY BILL BAILEY.

am greatly pleased with my
victory and the grand reception
accorded to me by so many Amer
icans-it was truly wonderful.
And that is the reason why Eng
lish athletes would rather meet
defeat at the hands of the Yam
KEGS than any other nationality.
McDougalI is a great little rider,
and I was none too sure that I
would be the winner. I Will admit
that was very nervous before
the match, and that nervousness
did not leave me after had won
the first heat, either. BY his de-
feat in the f1ve-mile handicap 1
am convinced that your champion
was not at his best yesterday.
Probably he will do better next
time.

over McDougall was impressive, as
he won both from the front and from
behind.
The Hustle Stakes was well named.
1t kept the riders "hustling" all the
time.
Harry Werner did some great
pacing in the f1ve-mile amateur
handicap. He led the pack for seven
teen straight laps, and easily annexed
the IS prize.
Frank Kramer made new world
record in the Flying Stakes yester-
day. but 1t will not go on the record
books as it was not officially timed.
Kramer rode the quarter-mile dash
in q seconds fiat, but, as he did not
win the heat, the record does not
stand.
There were three present-day and
two ex-champions on the track at the
start of the first heat of the Bailey
McDougall match. Frank l.. Kramer
last years world and this year as
well as for thirteen years American
champion, showed off Donald NC
Dougall, America amateur champion
and last year WOrlQ tltie-Hoiuer. lNci
Lawson, former worlds champion,
pushed off Bill Bailey. amateur cham
pion of the world, while Marcus l..
H riley, former worlds amateur
champion, fired the starting gun.
Three spills, in which ten riders
fell, marred the two-mile novice race,
in which nineteen men started. None
of the riders were seriously hurt In
the spills, which were the only ones to
mark the afternoons work.
The reinstatement penalty placed
on Walter Schleee three weeks ago
for fighting on the track was raised
yesterday, and the Newark amateur
got third place in the five-mile open.
McDougall was unlucky in the five
mile handicap, in that he rode into
pocket Just before the bell lap and
could not get out. 1t looked as IL Nc
Dougall had good chance to better
his position when he started, but
riders in front of him and above him
spread out and formed very neat
pocket. soh, -.-

a judge OF humans II not of cyclists.
He picked Bailey because. to him. the
Englishman seemed to be more at
himself, and that is a pretty good for
tune teller.
Bailey carne over here with a repu-
taticn that couldn't be ignored, but
strange to say he neither impressed
the best Judges of the sport either in
his race against Gus Wohlrab or in
his training workouts. The riders at
the velodrome couldn't sec him at
all. and some of them felt as If they
were taking candy from baby when
they put their money on McDougall.
Even after Bill had beaten Donald,
the experts were still in the dark, and
UP at the track today the boys are
referring to him as tho mystery"
Bailey, because Of his style and be-
cause OF his ability, has put e new
angle in cycling. There will be a
cry to see him tried out against our
pro champion, Kramer. and in this
the fans may have their desires
appeased. I have It from very excel
lent authority that Bailey and
Kramer are to meet in a match race
before the season Is over and In such
event we will be able for sure to get
a right line on the man who i'm
presses so little, yet who rides so
we'll.
for the best two out of three heats at
two-thirds of mile distance, there
was not much to it. In winning the
first heat Bailey showed SO much,
speed that 1t didn't take a second look
to know that he was master of the
situation. For three laps in the first
heat Bill showed the way, because
McDougall so elected, and then, when
Donald made bid to go by coming
to the tape, with one lap to go, Bailey
stalled him off in a manner that was
almost startling. What amazed us
so much was the fact that McDougall
came with q rush and couldn't get
by, although Bill was not speeding
up at all, and it looked as If he had
been caught mapping. Yet he held
McDougall off as they both raced to
the eighth pole, where Donald gave
up the struggle and followed pace
down the back stretch. Rounding the
Mum avenue turn McDougall again
made try, but Bailey just tow
roped him and was coming up the
home stretch as he pleased.

It was all done so easily that the
crowd was rather astounded for the
nonce, but as Bailey circled the
track he was treated to a demon
stration the like of which he has

KIN OF GIRL Who
KILLED HERSELF
MAY SUE SU|TOR
Man Arrested After Suicide of
Fiancee Later Dis
charged.

John Romachefski of 101 Sandford
avenue. Kearny. who was taken into
custody earsrs today by Sergeant
Eoaisiey and Patrolmen Ward and
Ryan, of Harrison, following the
death of Miss Stella Trolarok, who
drank carbolic acid about midnight
at her home, 312 North Third street,
Harrison, was later discharged from
custody in the Harrison Police Court.
Police Justice Joseph M. Branegan,
after listening to the facts in the case,
decided there was no grounds for
criminal action. The justice advised
that civil action could be brought
against Romachefski, it being
charged that he accepted money from
the dead girl and pretended he would
save it and marry her.
According to stories told at the late
home of the girl, it appears Roma
chefski and the dead girl were to be
married next Sunday. 1t was learned
today that they visited a Harrison
jeweler on Saturday and talked over
the purchase of wedding ring. They
later went to the office of the town
clerk to arrange for a marriage
license.
When he called Sunday night she
asked him about the marriage license,
as the date was close at hand. He
did not appear to take much of an in
terest in the affair and his perfume
tory attitude angered her. They
later quarreled over money matters,
it is alleged.
In his cell at the police station
today, Romachefski denied this.
The girl, it is claimed, brooded
over the quarrel all day yesterday.
In the evening she learned of the
action of Miss Clara Courier, of
Belleville, who ended her life because
she was disappointed. The Trolarok
girl seemed very much interested as
she learned the. facts of the Courier
girls death. She said nothing, how
ever.
In short time she left the house.
When she returned she had a pack
age. 1t is believed her mission was
for the purpose of purchasing the
deadly acid. 1t was about midnight,
when the girl, writhing in pain,
awakened Mrs. Anthony Sinowski, to
whom she told of having drunk the
acid
DIR. William B. McGlennon. of East
Newark, who was called in, ordered
the girl taken to the hospital. She
died just as she was being carried
in the institution. Her body was
brought to Condon's morgue, Harri-
son.

COMMISSION, IN
REPORT, WOULD
IMPROVE HARBOR
Wants Jersey Shore Developed,
Not Filled In for
Railroads.
Especial to the Newark star.T

TRENTON, Oct THE third pre-
liminary report of the New Jersey
Harbor Commission, recommending
that the harbor lines on the upper
New Jersey side of New York bay be
developed for marine commerce rather
than filled in to make land for rail-
road yards, was made to Governor
Fielder today. He will transmit it to
President Wilson who in turn win
send 1t to the secretary of war.
The commission is strongly against
filling in and extending the pier-head
lines for private interests or other
wise. 1t believes New Jersey would
reap more profit if the shoals were
dredged and the shore otherwise i'm
proved to facilitate marine traffic.
Another point brought up is in re-
gard to the situation of the navy yard
at Greenville, The report says: "A
change in the harbor lines at the
present time might throw some OBJ
struction in the way of accomplish
ing this
The report, addressed to Governor
Fielder follows in part:
The Report.
The New York Harbor Line Board
has before it the application made by
the New Jersey Riparian Commission
for a modification of the harbor lines
on the New Jersey side of upper New
York bay. 1t has deferred action on
this application until the New Jersey
Harbor Commission shall have had
opportunity to examine into it and to
report its opinion as to the advisable
ity of granting such modification.
The application in effect calls for
the receding of the United States
pierhead line to coincide with the
pierhead line of the State Riparian
Commission, and is made as a step
looking toward the creation of a chan
mel by the United States government,
parallel with the shore, which is
needed to make possible the develop
ment of this waterfront. Dredging by
the United States inside of the gov
renment pierhead line is forbidden by
law, and as this line as now estab-
lished is well out shore of the pier
head lines adopted by the State Ripa-
rian Commission, to which lines
grants have been made to private in
terests, extensive dredging would have
to be done by the private interests to
make the land granted accessible to
channel that the government might
