GOULLET COMING
STRONG FOR TITLE
Victories Over Kramer at New
Haven Demonstrate Return
TO Form.
CLARK TAKES A SLUMP

BY his failure to qualify for the
final of the half-mile championship
at New Haven last night, Jackie
Clark lost a golden opportunity.
Previous to the running of the half
nile championship, Clark was within
four points of Champion Frank
Kramer, who is leading, but now 1.-THE
Rocket" is seven points behind.
ALI Goullet rode in championship
form at the meet in the New England
city and showed the way to Kramer
in the two open races. By winning
the championship Goullet places him
self closer to the leaders, Kramer and
Clark, and he will probably be more
of a factor from now on in the title
battle. "Goullie" is seven points in
the rear of Clark and fourteen behirl
Kramer There is a two-mile cham
pionship billed for tomorrow at the
Velodrome, and Goullet is in hope of
winning again.
The two-mile title race and three
team match are the features on the
Velodrome card for tomorrow. In
the team match the Blk Six" will
clash. The team formations will be
Kramer and Frank Cavanagh, Goui j,
let and Joe Fogler and Clark and All
Grenda. The race will be over the
mile route, and the winners will have
to take two heats to annex the con-
test. Earlier in the season these
| same teams met in match under
the same conditions that will prevail
| ua ri n
test, in which Kramer and Cavanagh
were the victors. Clark and Grenda
won one heat and were second, and
| the fans probably still remember the
great pull delivered by Grenda in
| that memorable battle. 1t was the
greatest delivery ever witnessed on a
| local track, and the big fellow is in
such fine form at the present time he
expects to eclipse that effort. Every
| legitimate form of teamwork will be
permitted in this match, and there
should be a great display of high
| brow" riding.
The other races on the program
| are a two-mile handicap and two
| mile invitation for the professionals,
and half-mile handicap, unlimited
| Australian pursuit race and one
| mile novice for the amateurs.

Francesca Verri, the Italian, who
| defeated Fogler in a match at Phila-
delphia Thursday night. will probably
| try his fortune in open competition at
| the Velodrome tomorrow. If the
| foreigner rides as well in open events
| as he does in match contests, he
should make the final of the title race.
So
Clarence Carman, the American
middle-distance rider, who is racing
in Europe, is showing great form in
| his races abroad, but racing luck
| appears to be against the Yankee. In
a recent meeting in Paris Carman
met the cream of the middledistance
talent in a 10O-kilometer tandem
| paced race, and shortly before the
finish Carman had the race well in
hand, ten laps to the good of little
| Brocco who was second, and Leon
| Georget, who was close up on Brocco.
Carman blew tire. and before he
could change wheels Brocco and
Georget assumed commanding lead.

In six-hour team race, run in the
American style at the Velodrome de
Buffalo, Paris, a week ago Sunday,
Tricky Comes, who competed at the
lNelodrome last season. won from the
classiest field that has met in race
in the French capital this season.
Comes, who had Oliverri, an Italian,
for a team mate, nipped Perchicct a
few yards from the tape in the final
sprint. Leon Hourlier and Marcus
Berthet were third, and Torwald
Ellegaard and Brocco were fifth. The
largest crowd of the season witnessed
the contest The race was conducted
by an outside promoter who cleaned
lup a small fortune. The Velodrome
de Buffalo management. under the
impression that race of that nature
would not draw in Paris, would have
nothing to do with the venture.
