those who sell the Star will be tn,
guests of Messrs. Million and Chap

man has arranged an excellent care
of races. He has, to top off the pro
gram, matched Frank Cavanagh
the Yankee Hope" as Floyd Mac.
Farland calls the Newark boy anc
Alfred Goullet, who is a much peevet
cyclist over his poor showing of late
Just now, Cavanagh is the rage ir
cycling and what he will be able tc
do single-handed in special match
against Goullet is awaited with more
than the usual interest.
@
The wise fans seem to think that
Cavanagh is little too new yet tc
cope with such master at match
racing as Goullet has proven himself
to be. Next to Champion Kramer
Goullet has been looked upon as the
real fellow" but his riding recently
has been so erratic that some doubt
has been felt as to his ability. Even
tonight it is doubtful if Goullet will
show at his best, for his form hasn't
been up to the standard, and there is
no good reason to believe he will i'm
L. to IL. 49,
nagh, on the other hand, is at his
best. He is anxious to win and he
will make a great bid for victory.
@
The "newsies,'' of course, will be
interested in the Big Six" and all
will be there to show their speed. In
the one-mile championship Kramer,
Goullet, Clark, Cavanagh, Grenda
and Fogler will make a bid for the
honors and in the amateur ranks
there is no one in sight to stop the
wonderful riding of Donald Mac
Dougall, king of the amateur ranks.
Numerous events are on the pro-
gram and "newsboys' night" prom
Uses to be a big affair in every way.
o
Thorwald Ellegaard. the great Dan
ish cyclist, is here, and he was out
training at the Velodrome this morn
ing. In many ways Ellegaard is
like our own great rider, Kramer in
that he lives very simple life and
believes in training hard and earnest
ly for his races. In Europe, Ellie
gard is the gentleman of the cycling
game" The other riders take off
their hats to the Dane and the fans
bow reverently to him in the street.
He has been a wonderful man in his
profession, with six worlds cham
pionships to his credit. He comes
here to race the best men we have
in this country. He will very likely
win most of his contests and he may
go down the line until he faces
Kramer. That's where they all fall,
yet Ellegaard, of all cyclists, has as
good chance with the American
marvel as any man in the world.
@
Ellegaard retires early. He went to
his room in the Continental Hotel
last night at O'Clock.
II need much sleep and | get much
sleep, the Dane said last night, in
pretty fair English II am going to
train in the morning and l am going
TO get In good condition. You have
some fast men over here and 1 must
be in good shape to win. Your
Kramer is wonderful. We raced over
in Europe and he showed great speed.
am going well myself and expect
to give Kramer hard fight. l will
meet some of the others first, and YOU
can then see for yourself how 1 can
ride, 1t would please me much to
beat Kramer in a match and I am
going to try awfully hard to do it..
Good night" he said cordially. "I
must go early to bed, for I train
very early tomorrow"

Floyd Alfred mcfarland. always
willing to give the devil his due"
writes me most interesting letter in
high praise of Frank Cavanagh, the
Newark boy, who has shown such
great speed in his recent races. Mac
Farland is so delighted with Cayan-
agh's show of ability that he is going
to take the big Fellow" to Paris with
him. Mac" feels that Frank lacks
experience and he is going to put him
in a way to get it. The letter. which
also touches on Jimmy Moran, fol-

Philadelphia, July 10, 1918.
Dear Friend Joe-Just read your
article on Cavanagh in Mondays
Star and you certainly said some
thing when you said you believe he
is a future Yankee hope" All big
Frank" lacks is confidence and with
that and a little self-reliance you
can put him there or thereabouts for
that old pair of shoes now possessed
by big Steve" Kramer.
| have often asked Frank why he
always looked to see what Goullet,
Clark and Kramer were doing when
he was in front on the last lap, and
why he didn't go on about his bust
ness. His reply led me to believe
that he held Clark. Kramer and
Goullie in a sort of awe and he had
made up his mind he could not beat
them. This can be explained away by
the fact that Cavanagh's rise has
been more rapid than any professional
that has come before the public since
Kramer. and he is just big over
grown kid, who, with confidence will
be real yankee hope" big Frank
hasn't begun his career yet and with
