tandem paced race at the Velodrome
tomorrow afternoon, are primed Tor

With the Philadelphia and New
Haven tracks closed, the riders have
also had the advantage of a good rest
from the rigors of travelling, which
has given them an opportunity to
train behind tandem. Better pacing
will probably feature this race. The
tandem pacemakers ran wild in the
first race and it was the poor Judg-
ment of pacemakers that put Clark
and Mcnamara out of the running.
The same teams that paced before
will perform in this race and each
rider will have his same pacemakers.

The one third-mile professional will
be at the mercy of the Australians

Lawson can show enough speed to
stop the fleet of invaders. Lawson
showed a flash of his old form Labor
Day, and he may show the way for
the foreigners. Joe Fogler has been
recalled and will ride in this race,
but the battler is in no shape to give
such riders as Clark and Goullet any
sort of an argument. 1t is safe bet

the hospital list is larger than at

Joe Fogler bought a big touring car
yesterday and the only part of the
sale that interested Joe (outside OF

the machine be equipped with a self

The motor-paced riders claim that
the paced races are too fast and will
take steps to have the motor regula-
