As a result of his victory in the
twenty fiye-mile intentional cham
pionship yesterday afternoon at The
Velodrome Alfred Goullet of Austria
liza, added one more title to the House
of Darnum. The human dynamo
has won everything in the title line
that Frank Kramer has not won, and
he was a very pleased young man
after the meet of yesterday. well
I'VE done all that a mere human be-
ing could do" said "Gou.he,' as he
pocketed 500. scanned handsome
gold medal and tucked big bouquet
under his arm. Kramer took the big
honors, but ] got all that was left, so
I'm satisfied"
The twenty fve-mile championship
brought the derbes meet to a close
and three of the FIVE title races were
won by Australians. Goullet took the
Ten and twenty five mile events, and
Crenda and Walker captured the tam
dem championship, while the two big
sprint titles were won by Yankee rid
ers. In winning the twenty five mile
championship Goullet rode one of his
very good races. He was hard pressed
by Walter Rutt, the former worlds
sprint champion, and it was by fight
ing as gamely as ever a rider fought
at the Velodrome that Goullet was
able to stave off the mad rush of the
German in the last furlong. Jackie
Clark was third.
ALT Grenda, who was considered the
most likely winner of the long race,
was put out of the contest at the end
of the fourth mile, and Kramer was
forced to retire at six miles. Both
fzrenda and Kramer had the misfor-
tune to puncture. Bill Bailey the
English champion, WIN is not long
distance rider, quit the race on the
fourteenth mile. Bob Spears dropped
ont on the twenty first mile when his
rear tire blew up. AS result OF
these retlrements Goullet, Rutt. Clark
and Joe Fogler were the only stars
left in the race at the finish. Cesar
Moretti did not start. CaYanagh quit
carly and Lawson was taken Ill attef
the tandem race and was unable TO
start.
II was a big field that faced the
starter. but as the miles were reeled
off the field was diminished until but
ten riders were left for the maj
:.truggle Two laps from the finish
the stars lined up in front, with Goul-
let leading and Clark and Fogler
Ranking him on the outside, whlle
Rutt trailed Goullet onNthe pole IN an
apparent pocket. Clark forced Goul-
let on the bell lap and this gave Rutt
n chance to get out. With a clear
path. the German came out to do bat
lie and for the last lap he fought
nec<-and-neck with Goullet clear TO
the tape. Rutt was the stronger and
had he held the pole position he would
undoubtedly have won. But Goullet
had outgeneraled the field and de,
served his victory. And "Goullles
victory was well received, the crowd
extending a generous amount of APP

Rutt triumphed in the Strangers
Prize which was the other big race
on the program. In the final ne was
opposed by the Australians, Clark
Coullet and Csrenda, and it looked like
the German was up against an allied
force andwas facing sure defeat But
the Germn rode a wonderful race and
won after a magnificent battle. Inc

seen at the Velodrome, three different
riders leading on the final circuit
Goullet was in front at the bell, WIN
Grenda ON the outside, Rutt back OF
Goullet and hemmed in by Grenda,
Clark bringing up the rear. Coming
into the final lap, Clar jumped and

was on even terms with him when the

fifty yards. Grenda finished third ana
Conflict was last, an unusual position
for "Goullie.
Following the second heat of this
race. Moretti pulled some of that
ssHeinie" Zimmerman stuff and was
banished for the day. On the second
Ian of this heat Clark took his lett
hand off his bars and pushed Moretu
which caused the latter to fall. The
heat was stopped and the thlrd neat
was run. During the running OF the
third heat Moretti walked up TO clark
and In French said: What did you
knock me down for?" Before clark
could collect enough French to an

caught Jackie on the left cheek.
There was a mixup for a fraction OF q

This is the first time in the history
of the Velodrome that the riders have
forgotten themselves to the extent of
engaging in passage at arms. There
has been many a wordy war after
tits in the races, but the riders patch
up their differences as quickly as
they are made Plastering the fines on
