Kramer is the leader with A points.
@
Clark made a strenuous kick tC
Ross over his disqualification and hi
stood up and argued the point as
he has never argued before. He hac
a lot of things to say and everybody
who has known Jackie since his ar.
rival here was surprised at his show
of nerve and his display of oratory
He gave Fogler good "bawling out
and he gave Kramer a smart little
jab. He said the disqualification was
an outrage and he declared he was
battling alone all season. although
he knew there was much teaming go
ing on. He accused Kramer and
Goullet of being friendly" in the
championship race and asked Kramer
why he didn't have a try. He finally

well, I'm peeved, and I'm going

G.
Francesca Verri, the Italian, need
ask no odds of anybody in open
races. A week ago he made Paddy
Hehir take to the tall timbers in a
battle for a competitors wheel and
last night he made Grassy Ryan look
like a faded deuce under similar cir
cumstances. As both Hehir and
Ryan are noted battlers, just how
good Verri is at the game of rough
ing can easily be imagined. The
best way to put it is to say that he
is an artist Really, his work last
night didn't contain a false move.
Even Joe Fogler, some protector, p"
admits Verri is the class. Why
go further for evidence.
g
Interest in what Donald Mac
Dougall and Aubrey Taylor, the
amateur heroes, would do. was very
much in evidence. The Yankee boy
showed that he has little to fear as
far as the leading honors are con-
cerned. Taylor is a good boy and
he is sure to improve, but it will be
some time before he is able to dis
pose of Little Mac" At times, of
course. Taylor will beat MacDougall,
but not when Donald is prepared and
at his best. Now and then the
j American boy gets careless. and
these are the times he has failed to
show his speed. He was very right
last night, for he was out to redeem
himself for the two defeats of Sun
day-Taylor is a strong boy, but he
lacks a sprint. He works up his
speed we'll, however. and he is easily
the next best boy to MacDougall at
the Velodrome. He is a good little
sport also, for after the amateur
handicap he rushed up to Mac
Dougall and grasped his hand cor
daily. He had been beaten twice by
Donald and was willing to bow to
his master. The spirit was one that
should prevail among the pros. The
foreigners generally acknowledge
their defeat by shaking hands with
their opponent, but "our boys" after
beating their men in a race wouldn t
mind beating them on the head
sometimes.
The races were particularly excit-
ing last night and the fans were ex-
ceptionally enthusiastic Clark, the
"Prima Donna" of the bike game, al
ways comes in for a share of APP
plause, no matter what he does, but
the others, as geenral thing
have to earn their plaudits by the
sweat of their brow. The rivalry,
too, was bitter in every race, and
there were more combinations than
you could count in the pro events
In the championship there was so
much doing that the trains" got all
mixed up. Cameron was with Cava-
nagh, and 1. Lawson had a Salt Lake
City bunch in tow. Goullet, however,
who won the race, was by far the
best man after the hot pace, and
Kramer, even with a "sleighride,' y
couldn't beat him at the finish. The
disappointment over the disqualified
ton of Clark was everywhere in evil
dence, and while a mistake was sure
ly made, the referee is not to blame
for, as remarked before Mr.. Ross
is no mind reader
@
Newark looks pretty safe as the
champion. The Tigers are winning
every day now and their lead is such
as to make their prospects about as
sure as can be.
@
If we know Mr.. Ebbets at ALL he
will not bust up the Newark team
by taking all its good players before
the season is over. AS predicted in
the Evening Star more than month
ago, Raleigh Aitchison, the pitcher
is almost sure to go to the Superbas
but even then he may come back, for
| it is said that Mr.. Ebbets doesn't
fancy Aitchison particularly.
