as good man as he was last year or
the year before.
c.
The winners of the race, as pre-
dicted by me before the race began,
look to be Alfred Goullet and Joe
Fogler. Goullet surely is the class of
the bunch this year. and he is riding
a magnificent race. He is In grand
condition. aRd he has tremendous
speed. and there isn't q man in the
grind who is likely to beat him at
the finish. In Fogler. Goullet has a
better partner than most persons be-
lieve. Joe is just so good, but he is
just good enough to do everything
required of him. No matter what he
is asked to do he goes out and does
it. but he has earned the soubriquet
Of "cold-foot Joe" because he always
tells the truth as to his condition in
the six-day race. Ask any of the
other riders in the race: "How do
you feel?" and they will respond;
"oh, / feel fine!" Ask Fogler how
he feels and he would say: I'm tired
and sore and wish the race was over.
but I'll stick around all right and be
the winner at the finish" That's the
way it goes, some of the riders kid
ding themselves that they are feeling
fine, while Fogler, who has been a
most consistent performer, admitting
that he Is dying on his wheel"
GO
Yes, Goullet and Fogler are the best
team in the race, and Goullet is the
best man In the race by country
mile. The only way he can lose is to
meet with bad accident, and he is
riding so strong that 1t isn't likely he
will suffer any mishap. l have great
confidence In Chilly joe Fogler, for
I feel sure that he will do everything
required of him, although / know
he'll never push a pound more than
he has to. Goullet Is going to make
a name for himself in this years
grind If he doesn't meet with a mis-
hap, and he will be around the New
ark Velodrome next year giving
Champion Frank Kramer the battle
of his life. Goullet is the coming man,
and but for a bad spell of sickness
last year he would have made It
mighty interesting for Kramer for
the championship. AS 1t was he fin
ished second to Kramer in the cham
pionship point table. and he led In
the point table on the seasons work.
Go
During the wild sprint this morning
at ABB, as a result of which seven
teams are now tied for the lead, Goul-
let, Ryan and Fogler showed the most
aggressiveness. Clark and Grenda
just held on. although it seemed up
to them to make bid at that partic-
ular time to gain their lap back.
Clark, however, wasn't fit, and Gren-
da got a hard fall in spill that put
an end to the sprint.
