STAR NEWSDOYS TO
| HAVE A GALA TIME
Manager Chapman Adds a New
Feature, for Edification
of Youngsters.
WILL BE THERE 900 STRONG

To make the occasion one to be
long remembered, John M. Chapman.
manager of the Velodrome, has added
another race to the program carded
for tomorrow night, when The Star
newsboys will be the guests of the
Ve1odrome promoters. The added
event will be a French style match
race between big Frank Cavanagh
and ALI Goullet, who put up great
battle in the point race last Sunday.
1t would be impossible to stage a
stronger attraction at this time and
the "newsies" will be there over 600
strong, roofing for Cavanagh, no
doubt, as he was born and raised
right in this bailiwick. Manager Chap
man intended to save this match for
Sunday, but as the youngsters who
shout, "Wuxtra!" are to be his guests
they are to be served with the very
best that can be offered.
Cavanagh. by his brilliant riding al
the past three meets at the Velo-
drome is the man of the hour in
cycling, and his efforts in the coming
meets will be watched with keen in
terest. BY his victories over Goullet,
who was the most feared of the for
eign invaders, a new angle has been
created in the professional division
of the sport If Cavanagh can con-
tinue to win in matches with Goul-
let and other top-notchers and take
fair share of the open races all fear
that Champion Frank Kramer will
some day be succeeded by foreigner
in the position of American champion
will be laid at rest. Cavanagh has
shown us something, but he will have
| to continue to win to convince the
fans that he is of championship
calibre. A victory over Goullet to-
morrow night will go far toward Civ
ing complete assurance that he is
there"
| The other races on the program
should be equally as interesting to
the Star newsies as the match, for
Champion Kramer who is their idol,
will perform in two races. the one
mile open and the one-mile handicap
Then there Is a tandem match race
in which Joe Fogler and Alvin Loftes
will meet Julian Gauthier and Julian
Provost, of France, miss and OUT
race for the professionals and a five
mile open and ha1f-mile handicap
for the amateurs. In both of the
amateur races Champion Donald
MacDougall will ride and he is some
hero, too, with the newsboys.
| The tandem match will be over the
mile course in heats and the winners
will have to take two heats to win
the match. In the one-mile open for
professionals eight riders will start
| in the final, which will bring together
all of the top-notchers in the N. @.
A. A classy field will face the starter
in the final of this race and on form
the finalists should be Kramer, Cava-
nagh, Goullet, ALI Grenda, Jackie
Clark, Francesca Verri. Fogler and
Paddy O'Sullivan Hehir. All of the
stars with the exception OF Goullet
and Cavanagh will ride In the handi-
cap.
| At a big meeting at the Municipal
track in Paris, July 8, Walter Rrtt.
| the German champion, who won the

a great day for the big German
rider and the French papers state
that his riding was magnificent"

the Italian, was sixth. Old Joaquin,
who was a champion in the days Of

Carman, according to the French ex-
changes, rode his usual plucky race
but appeared to be off form.

The Tour de France, a road race
for professionals that started June
20 and will finish July 81, is now in
progress and the favorites, Octave
Lapize, Leon Georget, Vanhouwaert,
Belgian, and Brocco are not riding
up to expectations, although they are
still in the race and with chance
to win the purse of $4,000 that goes
to the winner. Petit-Breton is show
ing brilliantly, but Defraye and
Buysse, who are leading, are showing
surprising form. This race is the
hardest and most hazardous race In
the cycling world. 1t circles the bor-
derland of France which carries the
riders into the Pyrenees and Alps
mountains. Petit-Breton has won the
race several times and he is picked
to win again this year.
