CYCLIST M'NAMARA
IS OUT OF DANGER
But Australian Crack May
Never Regain Speed After
Yesterdays Accident.
yELODROME CARD TONIGHT

It was stated at the City Hospital
today that Reginald Mcnamara, the
Australian cyclist who was seriously
injured while training at the Velo-
drome yesterday morning, is out OF
danger and will probably be released
from that institution within two
weeks. McNamara's injuries aro
such. however, it is believed that ne
will never regain his former speed
The muscles in his right leg were
torn in such a manner that, in the
oninion of the trainers who saw the
injury. the limb will always be stiff.
Mcnamara was easily the best OF the
nine foreigners who arrived here last
week and his loss will be keenly felt
by the local promoters In Australia
Mcnamara is rated as the equal OF
Aft Goullet, Jackie Clark and All
Grenda. He was an eXceptlonahy
strong rider with longer sprint
than Grenda. In 1912 ne won the one
mile national championship of Aus
tralia, defeating, among others, the
great Goullet.
Mcnamara had rounded into form
so rapidly since his arrival last FIJI
day it was his intention to make his
first start in the two-mlle proles-
sional championship which is billed
for tonight at the Velodrome
~
with Goullet riding like a whirl-
wind, Champion Frank kramer 10
facing a serious Situation for a time
at least. There is a two-mile cham
pionship to be run tonight and sun
day there will be a five-mile title
race. AS both of these races are to
be run in one heat without big
field starting and lap money which
is sure to make both races tast.
Goullet stands very good chance OF
winning two firsts and taking the
lead in the race for the champion
ship of 1913 To prepare for a nara
battle tonight Kramer went to
Asbury Park after the races at
Philadelphia Monday and will not re-
turn until late this afternoon.
The present standing in the cham
pionship shows Kramer in the lead
with eleven points and Goullet sec
ond with eight. Another win tonight
will place the Australian very close
to the Yankee. "Goullie" is in rare
form, and it would not be surprising
to see him come home a winner
again. His three victories Sunday
have given him a world of confidence.
and confidence, speed and youth will
take lot of beating under the con-
ditions that will prevail tonight.
Little Jackie Clark showed such form
in training yesterday his admirers
may have the pleasure of seeing him
the victor in the title race. This race
is very much to Clark's liking also.
The other races billed for this eve
ming are a two-mile invitation and
one-mile handicap for the pros and
a half mile handicap and two-mile
open for the amateurs in addition to
two match races Champion Donald
MacDougall is to meet Willie Han
ley, of California. in a sprint match
and Ernest Vedrien, of France, and
Herman Packebusch, of Germany,
will clash with Norman Hansen and
Norman Anderson in a tandem match.
The European riders who arrived
here late Saturday will probably ride
nearer to their real form tonight.
They have had both training and
racing to put them in shape.
