didn't do his best. However, in his
previous victories under similar cir
cumstances he won over great OPP
ponents, so there is no reason to be-
lieve that Eddie Root didn't have a
good hard try in this particular in
stance.
C
The way he rode Goullet, it seemed,
would have beaten Champion Kramer
If he had been in the race. No rider
ever went through six days of such a
gruelling grind and then emerged
with such speed as possessed by Goul-
let. He knew himself so well, too.
While all his friends and admirers
were expecting him to make his bid
at least two laps from the finish, there
he sat behind Root, until the very last
whirl of the track without making an
effort. But when he did come, he
showed such tremendous burst of
speed that he flew by Root in a man
ner that made Eddie's efforts look
slow at their best. Root, in the hope
Of finishing second, kept on, but his
speed died out and Lawrence nipped
him at the tape.
C
as far as one can learn at the pres
ent time, the race was won on its
merits. If, later on, any scandal
arises, the facts will be published and
the guilty ones punished. The N. c. A.
has gone on record as to such pro-
ceedings. In previous years some
crook has come out with a sensa-
tional story of his own crookedness
and glories in his work. If such is
the case this year, l for one will do
my best to have all concerned pun
ished in no small manner If Root
says he pulled Goullet and Goullet
admits he accepted Roots services,
both men would be equally guilty and
should be severely dealt with. From
what l have been able to learn,
though, the race was on the level

didn't team with Root, and Goullet

has not been in the habit of telling
falsehoods. So, I'm going to feel that
the finish of the race was positively
on the level until some one who
knows for sure proves to me other
wise.
The riding of Freddy Hill and Fran
cisco Verri has created considerable
argument, and there seems to be a
decided difference of opinion as to who
was at fault. To me, it looked as if
verri was the first offender, although
Hill eventually got all the worst OF it.
In riding on the inside and then pre-
Stunning to take the wheel of Goullet
right in the face of Hill seemed rather
cheeky at the outset. That Hill
wouldn't stand for 1t was only nat
ural, but in protecting himself by
showing Verri away from him with his
hands. Hills foul work showed more
glaringly than did Verri's. AS far as
the offense was concerned, one was
about as bad as the other, but Verri,
In starting the foul tactics, was really
the one to blame. Both suffered by
their own actions, and Verri might
have been second with good racing
luck. He rode like a "boob." how
ever, in taking the inside position and
he had no business to force Hill out
of his position. All these monkey
shines gave Lawrence an opportunity
to finish second, and nobody seems
sorry for that.
Just before the finish a well-known
boolmaker posted the following
prices on the six teams, which were
to ride in the final mile:
Goullet and Fogler. IL
Root and Mcnamara. ........... 9--5
Verri and Brocco. II
Hill and Ryan. ................... b-l
Halstead and Drobach. ........... 81
Lawrence and Magin. ..12--1
AS to the winner, the best man fin
ished first, but the place positions
were not true to form. Verri figured
to be second, although, after hard
