and plans were made for the future.

jackie Clark has great confidence
in himself these days, and he feels
as II HIS ohances In q match race
against Frank Kramer are not any
where near as remote as they used
to be. When asked last Sunday to
meet Kramer in a match Wednesday
night. Clark at first demurred and
said he wanted week to prepare for
the champion. Finally he agreed to
race Wednesday night. Why Jackie
wanted more time is a mystery, He
is more fit now than ever before in
his life. and. If he can't beat Kramer
Wednesday night no surely wouldn't
be able to beat him next Sunday.
Clark is right at the top Of his form.

pion the better off he will be.

O.
The Velodrome riders and the Mo-
tordrome riders ara showing each
other the dead line" up around the
tracks There Is still a feeling of VIC
tory ON both sides but the fact that
the OUTLAWS" are to lose their home
and will have to race In the back
yard. flguratively speaking. Of the
regulars" is what, more than any
thing else, makes the 'outlaws' look
like defeated foes. But losers or no
losers. az xhe facts come out, the dis
covery is made that one by one the
regulars" were planning TO Join
hands with the outlaws" All would
have been lovely at the Velodrome
until the season was over, and then
there would have been a rush to p
7. Powers's office TO get In the New
York six-day race In fact. some of
the loyal fellows didn't wait until
the last minute. 1t would surprise
the natives to publish the list of
those who were flirting for places in
the New York grind, and, strange to
relate, some of these same fellows are
doing the most shouting about stick
ing to the velodrome" now.
@
Meetings of both the cycling fac
tions will be held tomorrow and out
of what the regulars will do a line
on what the promoters will do will
then be In order OF course, the mag
mates want all the boys to get to-
gether and bury the Ratchet, but the
velodrome boys seem to be positive
ly against 1t. The Motordrome bril-
gade are not averse to racing at the
Velodrome, but the outlaws" want
to maintain their own organization.
That, of course, can never be. But.
tast the same, 1t is almost certain
that there will be more than one tilt
.yhen the regulars" and outlaws"
do ride against each other. The first
spill or the first switch may mean a
battle then and there. Several things
must be done before real peace
reigns.
Newark is home for a stay of two
weeks, during which time it is ex-
pected the Tigers will add to it's COM
manding lead. The loss of a few
games on the trip worried the fans
some, 1t must DE admitted, but any
fear that the team might be beaten
out in the race for the pennant Is not
to be harbored at all. AS the situa-
ton now stands. Newark would have
to lose about seven games out of
every ten to be beaten. allowing, too,
for Rochester, the contender, TO play
! tip-top ball No. it isn't likely that
the Tigers will ever lose their grip
on the lead and the odds are now
said to be to l that the flag comes
to this city when the race is over.
