REGGIE M'NAMARA
DISPLAYING CLASS
Is Feared by Kramer and Clark
in Long Grind TO-
morrow.
"OUTLAW" AMATEURS BACK

On the form he has displayed in
his last two races, Reggie Mcnamara,
of Australia, looms up strong for the
honors in the Tartar stakes at the
Velodrome tomorrow. The Tartar
stakes is over the twenty five-mile
route and Reggie has proved his abil-
ity to go through a long, hard race
and finish stronger than the majority
of the stars. At the Nelodrome
Wednesday night, Mcnamara won the
two-mile open against a strong field
that included Worlds Champion
Frank Kramer and last night at New
Haven he took the fifteenmile open
in impressive style. Kramer and
Jackie Clark dropped out of the New
Haven race before the finish, on ac-
count of rain that made the track
dangerous, but the fearless Reggie
went on and won, and led the way for
such sterling performers as ALI Gren-
da, Paddy Hehir and Eddie Root, rid
ers who are at their best over the
longer distances.
Jackie Clark has for many years
been the choice here in long races and
the little fellow will probably be the
popular favorite in the Tartar stakes.
In the past four years Jackie has won
the majority of the long races in
which he has competed in this city.
The fans still remember the famous
ski hour team race that he won ana
then was disqualified for alleged
teaming in 1911, and last fall he came
East in rather poor form and won the
ten-mile open that marked the closing
of the season at the Velodrome. rms
season he has made several wonderful
l.. Ia n
that he still retains his great staying
powers.
If All Goullet is able to ride tomor-
row and is in form, he will be a strong
factor in the race, but 1T is hardly
likely that the blond-haired Austria
Ian will venture in the'long race after
almost two weeks off his wheel Big
All Grenda is the third choice for the
Tartar stakes and then comes kra-
ner. The champion, however, does
not like the distance, and II he pune
lures before the race has gone nNe
miles he will probably express no re-
gret, but If he is in after the fve-mile
mark Is reached he will go to the fin
ish and try to win. The champion
may be averse to long races. but when
he has expended the energy to carry
him through he will put up hard
fight for the biggest end of the money
at the finish. The thing that CRATES
on the nerves of the titleholder Is to
labor through a long race and then
fail to be remunerated.
With no match races on the card to-
morrow all of the professionals will
compete in the two-thirds-mile han
dicap, as well as in the Tartar stakes,
and it will be the most representative
field that has lined up for handicap

heats to the race and about fifty
starters.
If all the seventy-one Motordrome
amateurs, who We're reinStated yes
terday, compete in the amateur races
billed for tomorrow, there Will be ap-
proXimately one hundred and fifteen
starters in the two events for simon
pures, which will make some field. Ii
is doubtful however. If all of the for
mer OUTLAWS" start, for many of the
third-raters quit the game after the
consolidation of the two tracks. All
of the first-class simon pures have
entered, and among them are three oi

who showed an occasional flight OF
speed at the Velodrome that landed
him a winner, is said to be greatly
improved rider and one who will make
it very interesting for Champion Don
aid McDougall Then there Is Harry
Kaiser the New York rider, who fin
ished third in the worlds champion
ship; Tommy Smith, of Newark, and
Willie Hanley, of California, who are
very good youngsters.
