Bill Bailey, of England, the worlds
amateur champion, administered a
third defeat to Donald McDougall at
the Velodrome yesterday. To those
who had witnessed the two previous
inatches between the English boy
and the American amateur champion
the result was not unexpected. About
the only feature of the match out
side of Bailey's great riding was the
ease with which he walloped Nc
Dougall In the second heat, which
Was at the American style. A week
previous Bailey was pressed to the
limit to win in two heats of an Amer
lean style match, but yesterday he
did the trick with consummate ease.
Bailey can now return to England
with a record that few English ath-
letes have established In many years.
The surprise Of the meet yesterday.
which produced exceptionally good
racing, was the riding of long Bob
Spears, Of Australia. This latest An
ffpodean sensation performed a feat
that was never witnessed at a local
tr8ok before, and 1t was somewhat
o< q shock to the legion of followers
Qf champion Frank Kramer. Not
once, but twice. long Bob raced away
from tho American champion in the
homestretch, and he did the trick
after Kramer was we'll placed and
set Tor homo with Spears on his hip,
q p0sition that is invariably consid-
&fod fatal.
All of this occurred in the team
match in which Spears was hooked
up with Joe Fogler, Kramer and the
big snow pillow, Frank Cavanagh,
were mates, and Jackie Clark and
Ivcr Lawson were the third combina-
tiop. In the first heat of the match
Spears raced Kramer on the outside
for almost a full eighth of mile,
and after the pair had battled neck
and neck to the homestretch, the
Augfralian pulled away and won by
at least a foot. In the second heat
spears was turned loose by Fogler
a Iength In front of Kramer at the
twelfth and the two finished in a
dead heat-at least that was the de-
cioIon handed down by the judges,
Hlthough to those opposite the tape
1t appeared as though Kramer was
the winner by a couple of inches.
The decision was booed by many of
the spectators In the grand stand.
The finish was exceptionally close
and the decision was not a bad one.
Kramer said that he believed that
he had won, and the champion would
not have made statement unless he
lily was of that opinion. And
Spears thought that he, Kramer, had
taken the heat.
The third heat was also very close,
and again Spears rode around Kra-
mer. This time there was no ques-
ton as to who was the winner.
Spears proved that he has a great
short sprint and is a wonderful
Wretch rider and was to be figured
on in the future. The famous Jackie
Clark never figured in the match ex-
cept in the deciding heat, when he
made a strong bid from the front
after his partner, Lawson, landed
him in. front by several lengths at
< the eighth. Clark rode in an aim
Mess manner in the other heats, al
Though his partner was strong and
fast, and might have been strong
factor in the match had Clark
taken him. In all three heats
. Lawson rode around Cavanagh when
the big fellow was pulling Kramer.
81 Clark come to life in the fve-mile
open and won after sleighriding on
Cavanagh for almost full lap. In
this race Referee Arthur Ross swung
the big stick with telling effect.
There were two big trains" in fine
Working order and some of those in
the trains were summary dealt with.
Cavanagh, whos finished third, was
disqualified, and Grenda, who finished
behind the big Celt, got the same
dose. Fogler and Lawson were each
fined $40 for pulling, Cavanagh was
disqualified for pulling and Grenda
was disqualified for being pulled.
Clark might have been free lance
in che race, but it looked us though
he was as guilty as the rest who felt
the heavy hand of the referee.
Jackie rode a good race and received
his usual applause for his victory.
Spears was expected to show in the
five-mile open, but he was lost in the
Shuttle after holding position on the
rear of the Fogler train throughout
the race. Reggie Mcnamara took
second money in the race after a
long chase after Cavanagh and
Clark. Reggie picked up dozen
lengths and was coming very fast at
the finish. The race was fast and
the time 10 minutes and Is seconds,
was announced as a new worlds
record. According to the statement
of r. F. Kelsey, the chairman of the
N. c. A., this announcement was
wrong, however, the record being
g:42 4-5 and held by Iver Lawson.
N In the Grenda Mcnamara pursuit
race the former came through a win
ner after trif1e less than six miles
had been covered. The match did not
go as far as expected, but it was fast
and gruelling battle while 1t lasted
Mcnamara led for the first two miles
and then the tall Tasmanian let out
few links and evened matters up in
the next two miles. At the start of
the fifth mile McNarama began to
gradually pull up on Grenda and in
the following two miles overcame the
half lap lead and won. Grenda, who
has been riding very strong of late,
was the favorite and his defeat came
as a surprise.
Robert Henderson, of Newark, won
the half-mile amateur handicap from
the 25-yard mark, which was his first
victory as an amateur. The victory
was doubly pleasing to Robert as he
