mates before, came together in the
lottery and Cayanagh and Thomas,
Grenda and Treibel and Spears and
Root became partners.
Goullet and Coburn, Mcnamara and
Ryan, Lawson and Hehir and Kramer
and Cameron lined up for the first
Semi-final.
McNamara's chain broke on the
third lap and the race was stopped.
On the second start the trial went
through without mishap and the
Goullet-Cobur and. Kramer-Cameron
teams qualified. Both riders, stars,
won by their own speed, rather than
by the assistance of their teammates
Ryan made a brave effort to pull Nc
Namara to victory and landed the
Motordrome star in front at the bell
Reggie, however, did not have the
speed to forestall Goullet and Kramer
on the backstretch. Kramer put up
a great ride, coming from fifth posi-
ton at the bell. and coasting into Sec
ond place.
Referee Arthur Ross rendered a
wierd decision, following a wierd ride
by Eaton, who was Clark's mate.
Eaton pulled Jackie and had the lead
at two laps to go, with Clark on MS
wheel. On the backstretch Eaton
swung high up the bank, when Gren-
da and Root came alongside In order
to give Clark an opening on the pole.
Eaton almost threw Grenda and Root
and should have been disqualified
with Clark, although the latter was
innocent of any wrongdoing. The
practise of swinging up the track
after pulling a rider has been tabooed
and under the ban from the time kra-
mer was an infant.
The referee ordered the race run
over and it was announced that the
failure of the riders to follow their
partners was the reason for this rul-
ing. This decision may have been
based on the fact that the field al
lowed Grenda's mate, Triebel, to steal
away in the second lap. On the run
over Spears and Root were the win
ners, with Clark and Eaton second.
Clark put up one of his rocket flights
and rode around the entire field on
the last lap. Clark was moving two
lengths to Spears's one, as they raced
down the homestretch.
The scratch men never caught the
long markers in the three-mile handi-
cap, which was very fast all the way.
Grenda made a desperate attempt to
pull Goullet and Hehir up to the field
in the last half-mile, but failed.
Frank Cory won the race with Hal
stead, Cameron and Rupprecht fol-
lowing.
Champion Donald McDougall per-
formed one of the greatest come
backs" ever seen on a bike in the
quarter-mile open, amateur. In the
second semi final of this race, which
is at McDougalls favorite distance,
Harry Kaiser and Tommy Smith rode
around the champion on the final turn
as though he was q novice. McDou-
gall finished third and made the final,
as it was the faster of the two semi
finals.
Then, when it was expected that he
would meet crushing defeat in the
final, the titleholder went out and won
by ten yards, in his usual mastery
style. Willie Hanley was second,
Walter Schlee third and Kaiser
fourth. Schlee continued his good
riding of last Sunday and Labor Day
and won his heat and finished second
in the first semi-final, defeating Eddie
Madden and Gus Wohlrab.
- McDougall followed this victory by
going out and taking the handicap
with the greatest ease, which was
quite pleasing to his admirers, who
became apprehensive and saw visions
of an awful lacing for the little cham
pion at the hands of Billy Bailey, the
worlds champion. The summaries:
