Following this ride MacDougall
went out and won the five-mile open,
making his eighth straight clean
sweep at the Velodrome ana cllhcnin ,L
his claim to the 81 900 New York Attn
letic Club trophy that goes to the
winged-foot athlete winning the great
est number of races this season.
MacDougall's riding was the feature
of the days racing, which was
marked by many scintillating displays
of loose and boneheaded work.
1.-THE team match between the Velo-
drome and the Motordrome went to
the latter combination, after Joseph
Fogler, who has been credited with
possessing a considerable amount of
gray matter engineered one of the
worst pieces of "bonehead" work ever
seen at the Velodrome. Joe's coup
s was to have come off in the second
leg of the team match, and it was
planned to make the pursuit leg of
: the match unnecessary. 1t was a
dismal failure and resulted in the ut
ter rout of the Velodrome forces, how
. ever.
In the first leg of the match the
yelodrome team took the lead by VIC
tories in three of the four individual
duels. Jackie Clark defeated MeNa-
mara, Fogler led the way for his erst-
while mate, Eddie Root. and Frank
Cavanagh walloped Fred Hill, which
.gave the Velodrome team three points
ALI Grenda took the count in his
match with his countryman, Bob
Spears, which made the count one
point for the Motordrome.
In the next leg of the match, which
WAS a team affair, with all of the
eight riders starting, Battling Joe"
laid out a plan by which the Velo-
adrome team could win first, second
and fifth places, which would give
them q total OF fourteen points, and
smake the pursuit race unnecessary.
-Jses planned coup detat was a two
man pull, in which he and Cavanagh
were to carry the field for five of the
six laps. Grenda and Clark were to
take first and second and Cayanagh
was to slip into fifth place.
Joe did his part all right and Cava-
-.nagh carried out the pulling. And so
well that he shook Clark off, thus kill
Ing Jackie f6r the finish and incident
ally taking all of the steam out of
himself so that the best he got at the
finish was last place, which did not
count in the points. Spears profited
by the pulls handed out by the Velo-
edrpme "pullers" and won the heat.
Hill was third and Root fourth, which
sgaVe the Motordrome team eleven
points in this leg and total of twelve
points. Grenda finished second and
Clark was fifth. which counted for
five points. Total score: Motordrome,
IL points; Velodrome, points.
