AMATEUR TITLE FINALS

Elongated All Grenda and elon-
gated Bob Spears, both from Austria
liza, are to meet in a match race at
the.yelodrome tomorrow night. This
is ar''revenge" match for Grenda and
he is very hopeful of winning, but if
he should lose he will have no one to
hlame but himself, for he wants the
match, and astonished Manager
Frank Million by stepping up and
asking for it in a six-foot-four voice.
Spears beat Grenda twice in the team
match at the Velodrome last Sunday,
and these defeats did not set well
with the tall Tasmanian. 1t was in
the individual French match that
Grenda ''lost his dog" when Spears
led the way. and it viii be a French
style match in which he will meet
Spears tomorrow night. 1t will be
run in heats of a half-mile and one
mile with the distance of the third
heat If a third heat is necessary, de-
cided by the toss of a coin.

won by an overwhelming lead in the
points. Little Mac" will try to win
the final race, making a clean sweep
of the title events. IL he is success

for ono amateur has ever won all of
the races in the title series. A party
of New York Athletic Club members

form.

he feels confident that he can do 1t
again.
There will be no more big fields In
the open races at the Velodrome. Eff
ty-four professionals entered the five
mile open last Sunday, and the stars
put up such a strenuous kick Manager
Million has decided to run all open
events in heats in the future. There
