Jackie Clark was the hero at the
Felodrome last night. The Austria
ian. cyclist "had everything" and
We won the two races that he tried
10 win-the one-mile national cham
bionship and his match with Verri.
IN the championship Clark triumphed
over the other three members of the
tbig four"-Goullet, Kramer and
brenda finishing behind Clark in the
brder named. AS a result of the
Face Clark gained three points on
Kramer and is now only five points
behind the champion in the title pat
le.
Jackie was fortunate in the cham
bionship in electing to follow Grenda,
who pulled a long sprint after a steal
away from the rear. This gave Jackie
IN easy ride, but he was fast last
hight and probably could have won
from most any position.
In the match with Verri Clark
Fictory was not as clean cut as 1t
might have been. In the third and
Eeciding heat Jackie rode from the
front and gave the italian very
Rough ride. However. Jackie has
been handed this same dose so often
be can hardly be blamed for pulling
It himself in the pinches.
Verri rode magnificently in the sec
bnd heat of the match, and won easi-
ly in the fastest eighth of-a-mile
kprint ever clicked at the Velodrome
In competition. The time announced
was - seconds fiat. and one timer
had II As seconds. Verri is fast, and
many who witnessed the race last
hight are still in doubt as to whether
Clark can outride him in a French
Btyle match. Clark took the first
md third heats.
Grenda won the five-mile open,
with Kramer second, Cavanagh third
hnd Fogler fourth.
The drawing for the semi-finals of
The championship brought Kramer,
Eoullet, Fogler and Cavanagh to-
Eether in the first semi, and Clark,
brenda, Cameron and Krebs in the
second. Goullet and Kramer quail
fed in a pretty finish in which Goul-
let led the champion over the tape
by six inches. Cavanagh, who
dropped back for a steal, came strong
m the backstretch and drew up
alongside of Kramer, but fell back
pm the turn.
BY delaying his effort until the
twelfth pole Clark threw an awful
scare into his admirers in the second
Heat, and groans we're heard through
Ilut the stands. Grenda was making
tracks for home with Jokus and
Cameron glued to his rear, wheel,
and Jackie's chances did appear to
be slight, but he pulled one of his
/ famous rocket flights and rounded
pokus and Cameron on the final turn,
finishing a good second.
After numerous shifts for position
IN the final Grenda dropped back and
Took flier with Clark on. The big
Tasmanian started his effort a lap
and a half from home and jumped by
Goullet and Kramer with compare
hive ease. The leaders were caught
mapping and Grenda opened a gap
sufficiently large for Jackie to drop
: in ahead of Goullet and Kramer.
After gaining the lead Grenda slowed
md Kramer and Goullet had an OPP
portunity to jump into the lead at
khe bell, but they waited, and over
looking that opportunity was fatal.
rsrenda jumped again at the eighth
pole, and heading into the back
stretch Clark jumped and took the
lead. never to be headed Goullet
came out at the twelfth pole and got
even with Jackie's rear wheel. but
the little fellow had the speed and
he won by full wheels length.
Kramer drew up on Goullet in the
home stretch, finishing third a half
length away. Grenda was not bad
fourth.
The professional tandem event was
won by Fogler and Alvin LOTUS.
Cameron and Jokus gave a fine exhi-
billion of rough riding that should
have resulted in a heavy fine being
placed on Cameron, who was the
Hteersman. The New York rider, who
is postmaster in the art of stalling
and switching. endangered all of the
other riders by his reckless work. An
eighth of a mile from the finish Cam
eron carried Grenda and Mitten, who
had been trying for three laps to take
the lead. so far up the track Fogler
bumped through on the pole and won
