Two important races are on the
card at the Velodrome tonight. One
is the three cornered sprint match in
which Goullet, Rutt and Clark will
| be the contestants, and the other is
a pursuit race, in which all the stars,
| including Champion Kramer, are en-
tered If there is one thing the fans
| would like to see better than another
| it is for Kramer to punish himself in
/ n NOT cut
figure at all in the outcome but If
he happens to be just primed for the
event the fans will see the greatest
pursuit rider in the world. The night
he defeated Clark at the old track
"across the street" proved that. As
to the sprint match, the man who
beats Goullet will take the money. is
there a man at the track at the pres
ent time who can do the trick? The
fans seem to think not. We will see
tonight.
