Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1914-07-17

aifsu 1odiiet auueu TO MS long
string of triumphs by taking Worlds
Champion Walter Rutt and Jackie
Clark into camp In two straight heats
in match race at the Velodrome last
night. The Australian sensation was
in great form and won rather easily,
at least. much easier than expected.
Goullet was the favorite, and the
majority of the fans expected to see
him winner, but they did not expect
to see him take the match in straight
heats. But "Goullie" was the mas
ter at all times, and there never was
a second in either heat when there
was any doubt about his ability to
defeat his two great rivals.
Rutt carried the fight to the Aus
trallan in both heats and tried hard to
defeat him. Clark was never a factor
In either heat.
ALT Equals Kramer's Record.
The time for the final eighth in each
heat was very fast, which showed how
wonderfully well Gonllet was sprint
ing. In the first heat Goullet did the
final eighth in II 4-5 seconds and in
the second heat his time of IL 3-5 sec
onds equals the track record, which
was established by Frank Kramer in
the second heat of the final of the
Grand Prize of Newark. In the first
heat there was much iockeving. with
Rutt leading at sprinting time. Goul-
let came from second position and
rode around the champion, reaching
the lead at the eighth pole. After
gaining the front Goullet was never
headed Clark was unable to get
around Rutt and finished third.
Goullet was in front nearly all the
way in the second heat At the bell
Rutt jumped and gave the Australian
a hard fight to the eighth pole. but
could not get around. When he saw
there was no chance at that stage to
round "Goullie" Rutt dropped into
second position, Clark having been
shaken off in the fierce sprint Rutt
came again around the final turn and
down the homestretch, pulling up on
Goullet to some extent Goullet won
with over half a length to spare and
Clark was about length back of
Rutt.
Surprises in Pursuit Race.
The all-star pursuit race was pro-
uuct1ve of great competition and q
number of surprises. In the first heat
Kramer defeated Goullet in the very
good time of / minute and 80 seconds
Tor the mile. While 1t Is known that
kramer is a very good pursuit rider,
very few expected to see him beat
Goullet, who has long been considered
the best pursuit rider in the game
Kramer defeated Goullet by a full
second and the Yankees time was the
best of the race. Rutt took the sec
ond heat from Joe Fogler by full
second, and Grenda won from Lawson
IN the third heat Grendas time for
.@the mile was two minutes fiat. Cav
anagh had big Moretti, the Italian, in
his heat, and won, after a good race.
The biggest surprise of the race came
When Norman Anderson, the forty
fixe-year-old veteran, defeated Jackie
Clark in the fifth heat. The time was
Very slow, but Anderson won by al
most three seconds. Clark's time for
the mile was 2 minutes and 13 sec
onds. The sixth heat, between Bob
Spears and Lloyd Thomas, was a
corker, and Spears won, after the Cal
ffornian had led for four laps.
The final came to an abrupt end
when the rain, which had been threat
ening for almost an hour, fouled Kra-
mer and Grenda, who were the sole
survivors of the six starters But be-
fore the race ended there was a great
battle and all those fans who have
been asking for a pursuit race with all
the stars in 1t were pretty well salts
fed. The final started off like a short
handicap, with all of the six starters
riding at top speed to catch the riders
Immediately in front. Spears was the
first man to be put out and Kramer
did the trick. Rutt was the next
man to fall by the wayslde, Grenda
passing the champion after Cavanagh
had come within an ace of getting the
Tasmanian. Anderson was the third
rider to be put out and Kramer put
tho Dane hors de combat. This left
Kramer. Cavanagh and Grenda still in
the race. After five more laps were
covered, Kramer put Kavanagh out of
the running which left the Yankee
champion and Grenda In the race
alone to fight 1t out for first money.
America vs. Australia.
When the race settled down to a
dual between the American and the
Australian, Grenda had an advan-
tage of about twenty-five yards on
the champion. Kramer gradually
tarce between the two just an even
half a lap. For seven laps the two
rode with hardly difference of a
foot on each lap Kramer had the
advantage in all but two laps. Just
as the race was becoming intensely
interesting old Jupiter swung low
again and heavy drops of rain made
the track dangerous. When 1t was
seen that the riders we're slipping not
only on the turns, but the stretches
as well, the bell was rung, denoting
that the race would finish in another
lap Both riders sprinted. and as
