Whatever action is going to be
taken by the riders the promoters
are hoping will come to pass soon
Just SO long as there is a hitch just
so long will 1t cost Messrs, Million
and Uppercu money, for until the af-
fair is settled it looks very much as
IL Mr.. Uppercu will continue to con-
duct races at the Motordrome, which,
Judging by the past, will be very ex-
penslve. or course, the crowds now
at the velodrome are large. with
every indication that they will re-
main so. But even large crowds at
the Velodrome won't pay the large
bills at the Motordrome, SO the pro-
moters, naturally, will want to hurry
the situation to q climax.

with the regulars declaring they
won't yield an inch to the OUTLAWS"
the promoters feel as If they must do
something. A scheme that is said to
be on foot Is to give the riders a GER

to do so. the promoters will then
throw open the gates to the riders Of
both factions. program will be ar
ranged and all the riders invited to
compete. If the regulars enter all
we'll and good and If the OUTLAWS"
want to race they will be given the
same courtesy. When it comes to
race day, those who want to race can

Jackie Clark, in beating Alfred
Goullet and winning a ten-mile race
on top of it yesterday, did about the
best days work in his cycling career.
Clark won from Goullet in two
straight heats and he put up grand
ride In the long distance open race.
Immediately he was matched to meet
Frank Kramer next Wednesday night,
and the way Jackie Is going the cham
pion will have to be very good to beat
him. Clark Is cocky now. and full of
confidence. and he thinks he has more
than a passing chance with Kramer
He really thinks so we'll of himself
that he asked that the race be held
over until next Sunday. but finally
agreed to wednesday night after the
champion had, after some argument,
agreed to allow pace In the race.
CO
Goullet's showing In his race with
Clark was not his true form, by any
means. He has not been right lately
and the fall he received did him no
good. Jackie, however, is riding SO
we'll just now that anybody who can
beat him, either In arguing against the
outlaws or boiling for the tape, will
have to be good one. Some of the
fans think he can whip Kramer. More
big crowds In store for the velodrome
| II Clark can only keep on winning.

Most of the English critics are will

lin is bear of a tennis player; but
some of them claim the Yankees had
more than their share of luck in
winning the Davis cup title. 1t is

and the championship IL only one
more successful stroke in the right
spot had been forthcoming. That is
the ''if" of the game and the luck of
the game. But say what they will
Mclaughlin, as a loser in the ALI
English championship event, was
given credit by the impartial judges
as being a better player than Wild
| ing, who caused his downfall in the
challenge round. And again, though
beaten by Parke, the Irishman, in
the championship singles, there was
not a critic that we read who didn't
give the American the better of the
comparisons. So, IL the Yankees were
lucky, as they say, in the doubles, the
defeat OF Mclaughlin in the All-Eng-
lish challenge round and the Davis cup
singles against Parke more than made
up for the one streak of fortune
However, luck may not have been sc
much in evidence, for it is admitted
on all sides that Mclaughlin is the
most sensational player seen in Eng
land since the time of Doherty and
Brookes. Such praise is sufficient
