who can make the trip will want to
be there, and as the chances for at
tending the game tomorrow are
greater than they would be today
President Charley Eddets, jr., wisely
put the contest with the Shelters
over for twenty-four hours. The
Newark champions will raise the PEN
nant to the top of the pole and then
they will go onto the diamond and
make a fresh start after another pen
nant The fans should do their best
to be present Flag Day" and root
for the home team. The boys brought
home the bacon last year and they
promise to do it again. little
encouragement at the right time is
better than a ton of complaint when
it is too late.
The great racing that developed in
the Grand Prize Of Newark is still
being discussed by the bike fans, and
although both Walter Rutt and
Jackie Clark were given the gate in
the semi-fnal heats the interest in
the outcome of the final to be ridden
Sunday at the Nelodrome appears to
be about as intense as if Champion
Kramer. Rutt and Clark were to bat
tie for the thousand-dollar stake. The
fact is, the Grand Prize of Newark,
with its $1,000 first, has got the fans
almost nutty. Kramer, of course, is
the favorite. but now a few are
figuring ont how easily the champion
may be beaten. Some will tell you
that if Goullet rides from the front
he will defeat Kramer beyond the
question of a doubt" and others will
tell you that if Spears is on Kra-
mer's wheel during the last lap of
the race he will beat the champion.
so, Judging from the opinions, poor
Kramer hasn't a chance in the world. !
@
If Goullet. by riding in front, is to
beat Kramer, and Spears, by riding in
the rear. is TO beat Kramer, it is up
TO Kramer to see that these men are
not allowed TO secure their fayorite
positions when the race is on. Really,
the middle position is just the posi-
ton that Kramer would like TO have, |
and he may be able TO get it. From
that position he would be able to ride |
around "Goulie" and to stave off any !
effort on the part of Spears. In such |
a case, Kramer. with Goullet in front, |
would likely wait until the twelfth |
pole to make his bid. He should be
able to just about ride around Goullet |
and he would be going SO fast and be
so high on the bank that Spears |
would not be able to get up with his
delayed sprint.
@
The race figures to be rather safe |
for Kramer, with Goullet the second |
choice. Spears is the outsider on any |
thing he has done, although he may
develop into great rider some day.
Goullet is coming around fine and he
will be a hard man TO beat from now
on. He will no doubt do his best TO
get Kramer's wheel and thus figure !
out two chances for himself. He can |
have a try from off Kramer and be |
first if he has the speed, or he can !
trail along and make second place al !
most sure. Spears, of course, will not |
want to race from in front, for he |
hasn't chance in the world in that |
way. 1t may be that Goullet will go |
to the front with Kramer second. !
That would suit Spears, who will ex
pect to come down the stretch and |
close the gap on the leaders. He will |
find that his task is a more difficult
one than in beating Cayanagh, his
pal. who eased up to let him qualify
in the second semi-final heat.
o
Goullet, now that he has beaten
Clark, is anxious to meet Jackie in a
match race. He will be aeeommo-
dated, for General Manager MacFar-
land has arrnged a bout" between
the two little battlers for next
Wednesday night. Nothing that
MAC" could put on the card would
make better racing, and I dare say
that the fans-the Goullet fans and
the Clark fans-will be out battling
as hard as the riders. Next Wednes-
day night-Goullet VS.. Clark. That's
is the" race to see.
o
The match Sunday between Grenda
and Cavanagh should also be some
bear" Cavanagh is showing great
speed and better head every time
he rides. IF he can beat Grenda he
will be matched against Rutt. IF he
doesn't, then Rutt will be matched to
meet the winner of the Clark
match week from next Wednesday
night. And that means old MacF'ar-
land, who is abusing the riders so
much by putting so much money in
the races, has some other great pro-
grams up his sleeve. He has one l
know to be q 'bear'-he calls it the
piece de resistance!
o
France has a new sensation in the
sprinting ranks. Pierre Sergeant is
the man. Reports from Paris say
that young man is a conner. Frank
Kramer also speaks highly of him.
@
Bill Bailey, who lost his form for a
time, is getting back into his stride.
Bailey recently defeated Friol, Lorenz
and Van Bever. Bill may show in
our town before the season is over,
although Manager mcfarland has so
many big things to put on this year
that he may save BaileY for another
