he interested, as will also some Phila-
delphia capitalists.

Then. too, the Cycle Racing Asso-
citation. which, of course, is Messrs.
Million and Uppercu, has made an
other important move. These men have
practically completed arrangements to
conduct six-day races in Madison
Square Garden for the next three
years. The deal for the garden is the
result of several conferences that
have been held recently, and of
which General Manager MacFarland
was practically the man behind.
With tracks at Brighton Beach and
at Philadelphia, the riders will have
more than they can do, and the
pace-followers will come in for a
harvest. There is likely to be a lack
of talent in the pacing line in this
country when the new tracks open
ND. but Manager MacFarland has
options on several European pace
followers. Bobby Walthour is going
to ride in this country this year, and
Reggie Mcnamara. now in Europe
has been sent for. With all the
tracks going full blast. the poor bike
riders will be worked to death.

Frank Kramer is a big favorite u
in New Haven. and the fans there
call him King Kramer! The cham
pion doesn't like to leave his East
Orange home very often, but he is
treated so kindly in the Connecticut
city that he never objects when re-
quested to go there.

Jackie Clark, it is said, rides TIL
New Haven track like a duck" Thu
boys tell me he can beat anybody il
the world up there, and TO win from
almost any position is only child'i
play for him. Kramer and Rutt, it il
claimed, have no business with Clarl
on the little track at New Haven, ant
as for ALT Goullet, ALI Grenda and tn
other. stars, why, they are duel
SOUP for Jackie.

The poor form being shown b!
Goullet this season is a keen disap
pointment to his friends. 1t was ex
pected that "Goullie" would be tn
most hated and the most feared riva
of Champion Kramer, but even Goul
let himself cannot account for hi
! lack of form. He is not "trainin
| his head off," as the saying goes
but he is working hard enough t
| be able to show more speed than h
| has so far. He says he is heavy
| legged" but that he will come aroun
all right later on. In the early day
last season Goullet was the bear
at the Velodrome, but toward tn
end of the season he was off forI
and was bothered much with cal
buncles. Goullet Is not complaining
and he says he will make up Il
lost time once he works the load o
his legs"
