RUTT AND MORETTI BEST
IN INTERNATIONAL MATCH
German and Italian Successfully RepulSe
American and Australian Attack in
Team Race at the VeIOdrOme.
CLARK VICTOR IN THE PACED RACE

With the fighting spirit and the
courage of his illustrious Kaiser, Wal
ter Rutt, aided by his ally, Cesar Mo-
retti, of Italy, won clean-cut victory
in the International team match at the
Velodrome yesterday afternoon. It
was noteworthy victory for the
Teuton and the Italian, for they
brought to earth the two best Yankee
riders, Frank Kramer and Frank
Cavanagh, and the two crack Aus
tralian wheelmen, ALT Goullet and ALI
Grenda. Rutt was the power in the
European team and he rode a great
race. 1t was by far the best show
ing the "Weltmeister" has made here
this season.
In the first heat of the match Rutt
and Moretti met the Australians, and
the worlds champion won the heat
after a brilliant ride from the rear.
Grenda carried Goullet right up to the
final eighth before turning him loose,
and 1t looked like a sure victory for
Goullet in the dash for the tape.
Much to the surprise of the 5000 fans
Rutt raced around Goullet in the last
lbO yards Of the race. Rutt rode from
the front in the second heat, in which
the Yanks were defeated, and Kra-
mer, who was safe ON his wheel when
the Weltmeister started his final eff
fort, could not come out and pass him
in the last furlong. In this heat Mo-
retti outgeneraled Cavanagh by jump
ing through on the pole two laps from
the finish and taking the lead. The
Italian was not of much assistance
to Rutt in the first heat but in the
second he raced Cavanagh off his feet
and shared largely in the victory.
After Moretti took the lead Cavanagh
tried hard to pull Kramer around, but
the Italian was too strong for the
Irish lad. When he saw 1t was inn
possible for him to pull Kramer
around, Cavanagh turned out and
gave Kramer the position back Of
Rutt.
The Yanks rode the third heat with
the Australians to decide second place
and the former combination won. In
this heat Kramer was forced to do
the battling and he rode a great race.
Cavanagh could not stave off the
rush of Grenda on the fifth lap and
when tho big Tasmanian passed
Cavanagh, Kramer came out and
took up the fight. With sprint of
forty yards over lap Kramer won
and he simply outclassed Goullet, who
was shaken off the champions wheel
In the dash down the backstretch.
Spears disappointment.
Jackie Clark was the winner of the
ten-mile tandem-p paced match in
which Joe Fogler and Bob Spears
were his opponents. Jackie won the
match in the last few yards from
Fogler after both riders had left their
pacemakers. Spears was a poor third
and his ride was a disappointment.
Bob was unable to stand the gruelling
pace set by Clark and Fogler and was
Tapped long before the finish. Fogier
and Clark also showed the effect of
the fast pace and slowed down in the
last two miles. Three laps from the
finish Clark was without pace and
tackled behind Fogler. The real battle
Qcame in the last half a lap and Clark
Ssme through winner by wheels
9ength. Fogler claimed that Clark
bumped him when he came by, which
killed his chances.
A worlds record went by the board
when Grenda and Gordon Walker
flashed across the tape winners in the
two-mile tandem handicap. The Aus
tralians clipped five seconds from the
mark established by Fogler and Eddie
Root at the same track in 1911. The
winners started from scratch and had
to make up almost full lap in the
two miles. After their hard plugging
in catching the teams out in front the
Australians ran away from the field
in the sprint on the last lap. The
Bedell brothers were second and
Ryan and Hansen were third.
Lawson Wins Invitation.
