Kramer and Other Stars to

Event.
GOSSIP OF THE CIRCUIT

The first middle-distanee race of the
season is billed for Sunday at the
Velodrome. 1t will be a twenty-five
mile open for professionals, and is
called the Tartar Stakes. The prize
money in the race is over three times
as much as is hung up for open and
handicap races at the Velodrome, the
total puRse being 1914. The money at
the finish will be SIS. $780, $25 SIS and
$40. Then there will be prize of $40
for the rider leading at the end of
each five miles of the race and
dollar for every lap winner. Just an
even forty pros" will start in the
contest, which is we'll named
Champion Frank Kramer, the
holder of the worlds record for
twenty-five miles, will be among the
starters All of the other stars of the
pro" class, including ALI Grenda,
Jackie Clark, Reggie Mcnamara, Joe
Fogler, Paddy Hehir, Bob Spears,
Frank Cavanagh, Eddie Root and
Fred Hill, will compete in the contest.
1t is figured that the present record,
which is 81 minutes and 10 second and
was established at New Haven in 1910,
will be broken. OF the forty starters
in the race probably ten of them will
try for the finish money, while the
other thirty will go after the lap and
intermediate five-mile prizes, which
will make the race exceedingly fast
from the start to the finish. This
race was a classic in bygone years,
and invariably proved a great contest.
The other events billed for Sunday
are a thirds-mile handicap and a
"miSs-and-out" invitation for the
pros" and a one-mile repechage
handicap, three-mile open and a
novice for the amateurs. There will
be eight heats to the repechage handi-
cap, with close to ninety starters. In
the heats the riders on each side OF
the various handicap marks will COM
pete together which will make per-
feet ladder in the final. Donald Nc
Dougall will be the only rider on
scratch, and he will not ride in the
heats. There will be a repechage heat
for the riders finishing second and
third in the heats, with the first three
who cross the tape making the finals.
In the trial heats only winners will
qualify.
Another perfectly good champion
gone wrong!" exclaimed General Man
ager Floyd MacFarland when he
heard that Donald McDougall was
going to dash into matrimony.

The ban on the Motordrome anna
tours will be raised today, and about
forty of them have entered the races
at the Velodrome> billed for Sunday.
If the three-mile open is not run in
heats there will be about seventy-five
starters sent off together, which will
break all records for big-feld races.
"a
Lot r1o hoG On
hospital list for over a week, was at
the Velodrome yesterday. "Goullie"
is limping around on bandaged ankles
like a broken-down stake horse. He
is hopeful of getting back in the game
Sunday. 81 would like to ride that
Tartar Stakes, for / think / could
win it," said Goullet as he scanned
the bulletin board in the training
quarters.
The sprinters will hold the boards
at New Haven tonight. Twenty of
the leading cash-prize riders left for
the Connecticut city this morning to
compete in the four pro" races at
Walter Bardgett's golf-cycle course.
A week from today the final meet of
the season will be run at New Haven.
A letter was received this morning
by the Cycle Racing Association from
Phil Reese, the famous French
trainer in which he recommends Leon
Comes and Frenchman named
Godiver for the New York six-day
race. These riders would like to COM
pete in the Boston and Toronto races
also Godiver rode in the Paris six
day race last winter, and performed
well.
Jackie Clark has a bulldog that he
will ira de-. for a perfectly-good cat
The bulldog has a pedigree, but he is
not burglar-proof.
Now that the alleged delegation
from the New York Athletic Club"
has been proved to be a myth, the
alleged 1000 cup that is hung up for
the wiged-foot athlete scoring the
greatest number of points during the
season should also be investigated.
