CLARK IS FIRST
IN THE FNE-M|LE
Jackie Comes Out and Wins
Long Race After His Defeat
in Match.
MAC DOUGALL ALSO THERE

Although beaten in his match with
Frank Kramer, Jackie Clark had the
satisfaction of taking one heat of the
match, and he went out and captured
the five-mile open in a dashing finish
that had the riders who had sur
vived the hard-going and were in
at the end, hanging on for dear life
as Jackie sped on to victory. ALI
Goullet was in the five-mile open and
feeling pretty good. Clark's ambition
in the bike game has been to beat
Kramer in a match race at Kramer's
own style, but while this ambition
may never be realized he will be
happy as long as he can lead the way
for Goullet. Kramer elected to re-
main out of the open race and Thor
valid Ellegaard, liver Lawson and the
European riders were missing. but
1t was a good race at that. 1t was
fast throughout and all the stars
were in at the finish.
The positions changed repeatedly
throughout, and it was not until the
last stage of the race that the stars
got together. Coming onto the bell
Clark went to the front with Goullet
on his wheel, and it, looked as though
Alfred was in a most favorable posi-
ton to win. At the eighth pole, where
Goullet invariably starts his final ef-
trailed Jackie. Down the backstretch
Clark sailed with the bunch strung
out in sigle file.
1t was not until the last turn was
reached that Goullet poked his nose
out from behind the Flying Rocket. "
For a few yards Goullet gained on
his countryman, but there was more
speed in the sturdy legs of Clark, and
he put on more steam and forestalled
"Goullie's" rush down the stretch.
When Clark crossed the tape he had
a lead of a full length, with Goullet
about the same distance In advance
of Paddy Hehir, who was third. ALI
| Grenda finished fourth. and Frank
Cavanagh, the Irish champion, was
fifth. The crowd forgot about Jackie's
rough work in the match and gave
him a great hand for his victory
Kramer did not ride in the five
mile open, but Clark did, and he won
in impressive style. This race was a
great triumph for the Australians,
four of them leading the field home.
ALT Goullet was second, Paddy Hehir
third and ALT Grenda was fourth.
Frank Cavanagh was the only Amer
lean rider to finish in the money.
In the one-mile handicap, which
was won by Norman Hansen, of
Denmark, Ernie Pye. Lloyd Thomas,
Grassy Ryan and Floyd Krebs were
guilty of glaring bit of teamwork
that enabled the Dane to win. Han
sen started off at top speed right
from the gun and the riders men
al al Cto cd nd
let him pick up what appeared to be
a winning lead in the first three laps
of the race. When Joe Fogler saw
the combination he "chatted" the
backmarkers and pulled them for two
laps, bringing them up within a
quarter of a lap of the Dane. Grenda
took a fast lap and Goullet came out
down the stretch and finished second,
three lengths behind Hansen, who
was barely able to move.
Donald MacDougall won both of
the amateur races in his usual i'm
pressive manner. Aubrey Taylor gave
the "champer" a fight for quarter
of lap in the open, but the cham
pion proved that the Australian Is nc
match for him.
1t was announced at the track that
Clark had requested another match
ager Frank Million stated that the
match had been arranged and would
take place Sunday. 1t will be at one
mile. French style. The summaries
