to Meet Kramer by Sue
cess in Test.
INCIDENTS MARK VICTORY
Grenda Beaten in Hair-Line
Finish in Deciding Heat.
Egg Defeats FogIer.

yesterday. The blond-haired Aus
tralian lost his first heat, won his
second heat was given his third heat
on foul and took the deciding heat
from his pal ALI Grenda, who was
tied with him after the ninth heat
was run, by such q narrow margin
many of tho "grandstand judges" be-
lieved he had been handed" the
race. But Goullet was the winner in
the deciding heat, the opinions OF
the "grandstand judges" notwith-
standing. and 1t is Goullet who will
meet Kramer in a match next Sun
day.
The Test furnished the interesting
racing that was expected and it also
furnished the upsets that were not
unexpected. Big Grenda was the
stumbling block for the three favor
ties. In rare form, the Tasmanian
defeated each favorite and thereby
made an extra heat necessary to de-
eide the race. Moretti appeared to
be the fastest man in the race and
would have probably won without
heat that brought about his disquali-
fication. Had that heat gone to
Moretti, however, he would have still
been tied with Grenda, but as fast
as Grenda was, the Italian star ap-
fpeared to be the faster
Moretti Takes First Heat.
Moretti took the first heat in which
Frank Cavanagh and Bill Bailey
were his opponents. The italian let
Cavanagh hold the lead until the
homestretch, thus playing Bailey
safe and went around the Irish
Champion" with east and won. liver
Lawson gave Bob Spears a mighty
battle in the second heat, the latter
winning in the final yards by but a
E small margin, with Joe Fogler third.
The first upset came in the third
heat when Grenda defeated Goullet.
Riding from the front with Goullet
in second position and Clark trail
ing, the big fellow tore off q little
more than a lap sprint that had
"Goullie" digging to hang on. As the
other favorites, Moretti and Spears,
had each won their heats it looked
like curtains for Goullet after this
defeat. Clark won the fourth heat
after most spectacular ride from
third position far in the rear. Law
son jumped at the end of the first
forty yards on Bailey and "the
Rocket" before they awoke to the
fact that the Swede meant business.
Bailey was the first after Lawson
and caught him at the final eighth
mark, but the English rider, who is
suffering from a very bad cold and
not in shape, was baked by his eff
fort and could not stall off the rush
of Clark in the last twelfth. Jackie
won by a considerable margin and
the fine ride earned good hand
from the crowd. Cavanagh got an
anglo to repeat Lawson's ride in the
next heat and he walloped Grenda
and Spears good and plenty. The
Irishman fooled them by jumping
and then slowing again and Just as
the two Australians were satisfied
that he was not serious, Cavanagh
jumped again and was never headed.
Spears quit when he saw there was
no chance of catching Cavanagh, but
Grenda went on and finished second,
which gave him the point that even
tually made him even with Goullet,
and an extra heat necessary.
Sixth Heat Easy for Clark.
Clark beat Cavanagh and Fogler
easy in the sixth heat, and then in
the following heat Grenda spiked
Moretti's guns. Grenda beat the Ital-
ian in this heat, just as he had beaten
Goullet in the first heat. Moretti
thought he could get around the Tas-
! manian In the home stretch, but he
was fooled. Lawson was the third
man in this heat. Goullet took the
eighth heat from Bailey and Fogler
rather handily. Goullie got the jump
on Bailey and carried Fogler around
with him at lap to go.
The Ninth Heat.
Then came the famous ninth heat.
In this heat it was necessary for
either Goullet or Moretti to win to be
tied with Grenda. Spears, the third
man in tho heat did not have
chance of bettering his position in the
race by winning, and it appeared as
though he stayed out of the fightinS
purposely on this account. There was
considerable jockeying at the start
and the first lap was very slow.
Moretti jumped through on the pole
at q lap and a half to go, taking the
lead from Goullet. Spears jumped in
behind Moretti. taking second posi-
ton, and this forced Goullet to start,
to battle for the lead at once. He
came up fast with his usual jump,
but Moretti was just as good and a
lrifie better, and Goullet did not get to
the front. He dropped into second
position and stayed there until the
final turn. AS he came out to make
his bid down the homo stretch,
Moretti, who had switched bit on
the other turn, gave Goullet an awful
hook. This retarded the latter to
wheel up sharply to avoid being top
pied. Moretti went on and won and
was disqualified for that last switch.
The crowd Kissed Moretti and cheered
when the decision was announced.
But the Italian seemed to be the bet
ter man.
Grenda Admits Defeat.
The extra heat to decide the race
was devoid of jockeying. Grenda
went to the front at the start and
started his sprint at the quarter-mile
mark. He gave Goullet a high ride
all the way and, try as he would, the
latter could not gain an inch. Grenda
weakened in the final yards and this
gave Goullet a chance. He came fast
in the last forty yards and won by q
narrow margin. There was cry for
Grenda. the crowd believing that he
had won, but Grenda himself said that
Goullet had won.
Egg victor in Great Battle.
oscar Egg, of Switzerland, won the
tandem paced race at ten miles from
Fogler. after one of the greatest bat
lies ever witnessed at the Velodrome.
rhey fought from the start to the fin
ish and Egg won by not more than
foot at the finish. Though beaten,
Fogler comes in for as much credit as
the victor. Sir Joseph never rode a

tbe last lap without pace was a won
