all the riders to beware, and even
Kramer is holding his ear to the
ground.

From now on, GouIlet is going to
strive for victory and popularity. He
has been "mussing' around consider
able of late and he has not been
doing himself justice. He has scored
more points than any other rider on
the circuit, but he is only third in
the championship He says that will
never do and he is going to get on
the job for fair In good condition
now, he is sure to win many races,
and with victory comes popularity,
which is almost as welcome as
the prize money in the races.

Goullet will have chance to show
his speed at the Velodrome tomorrow
night when he meets Verri, Cava-
nagh and Fogler in a French style
match. He is sure to be a winner,
for he has shown considerable more
class than his opponents to- be. In

Verri, the Italian, will do-and Goul-
let will have an opportunity to show

When the Salt Lake City cyclists
arrive in Newark it is not known Just
what they will do. John M. Chapman,
manager of the Velodrome, is bringing
them on here, but he has done the
same thing for others only to have
them desert him later on. liver Law
