CYCLERS TO CLASH
''Regulars" and the Outlaws
Will Have Gay Time of
II Tomorrow.
BIG PROGRAM OF RACES

A mixed match race, in which four
Velodrome riders will meet four out
laws" will be the feature of the pro-
gram at the Velodrome tomorrow af-
ternoon. The style of this match is
new to the followers of cycling here
although Floyd mcfarland, who
conceived it, ran several races of the
kind at Salt Lake City last season
and they were very successful from
racing standpoint The riders in
the match will be Jackie Clark, ALI
Goullet, Joe Fogler and Frank
Cavanagh, of the Velodrome forces,
and Reggie Mcnamara, Bob Spears,
Eddie Root and Fred HILL of the
"outlaws"
The first leg of the match will be
series of French style matches in
which Mcnamara will meet Clark,
Spears will meet Goullet, Root will
meet Fogler and Hill and Cavanagh
will clash. The winner of each of
these four matches will be credited
with one point. In the second leg
of the race the two teams will meet
in a one-mile sprint team race
which will count six points for the
winner, four points to the second
man, three to third, two to the rider
who finishes fourth and one to the
fifth rider. The third and invariably
the deciding leg of the match is a
pursuit race from opposite sides of
the track. In the pursuit, the win
ming team is credited with six points.
The other races on the program to-
morrow are one-mile handicap,
miss and out" Invitation and five
mile open, called the Scramble Stakes,
for the professionals and a five-mile
41.t, H.. 4 tx.4.
one-mile novice for the amateurs.
The Scramble Stakes is a race that
was conceived by Fred Voigt in the
old days of the sport and derives it's
title from increased lap money that
is sure to make it some scramble AS
there will be forty three riders in the
race this particular scramble stakes
may prove exceptionally well named
If that big field goes down in a spill
1t will be scrambled or hashed bike
riders. Big fields have always been
the rule in races here in Newark and
1t was running big field races that
made the sport popular here, but
there never were as many in one race
as will start in the Voight classic
tomorrow.
ALI Goullet was not as seriously in
In the second heat of the two-mile
handicap at the Velodrome Thursday
night. "Goullie" received a deep
cash on his right foot, but 1t will
not interfere with his riding tomor-
row. He was billed to ride a match
race at Philadelphia tonight. but was
excused.
Paddy Hehr was on his mettle
Thursday night and he rode in great
form, showing more speed than at
any time since his advent in America.
There was a reason for this special
effort on the part of little Paddy and
the seat of the reason can be traced
TO a race track in Melbourne, Aus
tralia, that occurred two years ago
and in which Paddy and Mcnamara
had some considerable argument.
Paddy seeks revenge and he Will
humiliate Mcnamara at every OPP
portunity.

night.
Jimmy Moran, who fell in the ninth
hole on the eighteen hole golf-cycle
course at New Haven last night,
was pretty well shaken up. Jimmy
tips the beam at 208 pounds now
and when he falls he falls hard.
James Francis is thirty pounds over
weight and how he wins bicycle
races is one of the mysteries of the
game. They say his trainor is a
noted chemist.
A number of local professionals of
the sprint division are to be farmed
out shortly to Nat Buffers minor
league track at Boston. The local
'.pros' at Boston are on strike now
and they must be tanned.

during the season, appears to be won
by Amateur Champion Donald Mac
Dougall MacDougall has a big lead
over Homer Baker and Ollie De-

boards at the Velodrome, he is sure

Arthur Irwin, the Yankee scout and
former manager of the famous old
Charles River bike track, called at
the Office of the Cycle Racing AS
ISOLATION yesterday afternoon. Irwin
is still very much interested In the
bike game and says it is coming
back SO strong it would not be sur
prising to see tracks in all of the big
league cities in another year.

Commenting on the proposed port
able track at Ebbett's Field, Brooklyn.
Irwin predicts, that is if Ebbett's goes
through with it and 1t proves
success every million dollar ball
park will have a bike track as these
baseball palaces are used only three
months in the year and the magnates
are looking for something that Will
bring in a revenue when the CLUBS
are on the road.
