CYCLISTS NEAR END
OF. THEIR LONG RIDE
Just How Long Is Up to Kramer,
GOulIet and Spears in
Grand Prize.
HISTORY MAY BE REPEATED

AS Joe Fogler has said. it is long
road to the end of the Grand Prize Of
Newark. The end of the road will be
reached tomorrow, but just how much
longer it will be is impossible to say.
1t may be two miles and it may be
four. Frank Kramer, Alfred Goullet
and Bob Spears will finish the route
and one of them is going to come
through q winner and receive a check
for $1,000 for his efforts. As the final
is going to be run in heats, with the
winning of two heats necessary to
win the race, 1t may go to four heats
before reaching a conclusion,
Champion Kramer is naturally the
favorite. but being the favorite does
not mean that he has the race in
hand all ready. Last year he was the
faYorite and he lost to Goullet, and
the race tomorrow may be repeui-
ton of the race of a year ago As IN
the race of last season, Kramer mas
two Australian riders in the final and
they are both riders of the first RANK
fast, game and cunning. and While
they viii probably not help each other
by teaTning they are sure to try to
put Kramer in the worst position pos
sible when sprinting time comes. II
they succeed then the result may be
the same as last year with an Aus
4ralian defeating the 4ank and taking
the big end Of the purse,
Kramer and Spears Ready.
Kramer and Spears finished up their
training at the Nelodrome yesterday
afternoon and both said they were Mt
and satisfied with their condition.
The Yankee champion did sprint oil
a lap that was very pleasing to him
as the time was very last, Whlcn ~
the best proof in the world OF rluef
condition. A lap in 10 80 second Win
the final twelfth in ! 20 seconds was
the time of the sprint, and as no Iider
ever negotiated the distances IN pet
Ter time it is quite natural that
Kramer should be pleased and salls-
fed. . ~
Spears trained with Kramer, but
ria NOT sprint. Bob is Of the old
school and does not sprint when there
is a battery of stop watches around
10 clock his time. He is not tipping
his nit" as the riders say, and by
being under cover has the others
euessing. The elongated lad Is the
dark horse, and if he should come
through a winner 1t would not pc the
biggest surprise in the world, for he
possesses great speed
Goullet's Confidence Not shaken
While Kramer and Spears were
training at the Velodrome, Goullet
was on his way to New Haven, where
he raced last night and was beaten
by Jackie Clark in the scratch race
there But that defeat will not snake
f,okllet's confidence or lessen his
coinage. "Goullie" is like Kramer,
he can come back after defeat, and
that defeat will do him more good
than harm. The dangerous man IN
the big race tomorrow is Goullet and
ne will, take a whole lot of beating.
In the art of chipping Goullet Is
about as clever as Kramer and II the
former is in front at the bell he Will
give Kramer the race of his life. And
IL Spears should be in second position
with Kramer in third place Goullet
chances will be extremely good. But
regardless of positions it is going TO
be a mighty struggle and good
race and; no doubt, there will be an
other close finish that will put the
Judges TO the test.
