Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-04-11


at the Newark VelodroIne tomorrow
afternoon, but if the weather man
has his way there will be nothing
doing. However, the weather man is
such an old fooler that you can never
believe him, and from the outlook of
q layman it is very likely that the
races will be run. If that is SO,
Messrs Million and Uppercu, the
owners, and Floyd A. Mcfarland,
the general manager, will be de-
lighted, for the promise is that a
tremendous crowd will turn out to
witness the meet. One reason is that
bellies end beaux viii be out in all
their frills and furbelows. Then the
fact that Walter Rutt, the world S
champion, will be making his first
appearance st race meet in New
ark Will have its effect upon the fans.
Everybody who is interested in
cycling will want TO be at the OPEN
ing-Will want to see Rutt meet in
keen rivalry such noted speedsters as
ALI Goullet, Jackie Clark, Alfred
pue sIe9dS qod IoGSoA cor 'epuaID
Frank Cavanaugh. The big Ger
man" Is popular already with the
Newark fans, and if he rides as well
in his races as he has shown in train
ing he Is sure to become one of the
biggest faVorites that has ever been
brought from foreign shores to race
at the Velodrone. Already he has
won away many of the admirers of
other favorite cyclists and he is
destined to become the Idol of the
game in this city If his success is
complete.
g
The real interest IN the races to-
morrow will centre in Rutt. He is
known to be a wonderful rider, and
there are some VINO believe he is as
fast as our great. American cham
pion, t'pahk l.. Kramer. With
Kramer in Europe, We will not dis
cuss that particular phase of the
situation. Suffice it to say, that
Rutt himself, while admitting that
Kramer is the wonder of wonders,
really believes he has a lighting
chance to beat the American boy. If
that is SO, then he must feel that he
holds the other speedy cyclists safe
Rutt, no one can deny, is a mar
velous rider, but if he can beat Goul-
let and Clark and Grenda, we will
give him all honors, with interest
According to the opinions ct the
Velodrome. where Rutt has been
training for two weeks, the big
German" is in great form, and the
"railblrds" declare ne viii be an easy
winner HtL HF
81 ST.
Jackie Clark is said to have round
ed into rare form and he is being Sc
iected as the one who will give Rutt
the hardest battle. Clark is gener-
ally late in rounding into condition,
but some hard training on the road
and some dlllgent work on the home
trainers has put "The Rocket" in

say. Goullet is also going well, but
he is not quite fit. He may round
into shape and ride one of his great
races tomorrow, in which event Rutt.
will have his own trouble to win.
Grenda is going well and Spears,
am told, has all kinds of speed. II
Rutt is beaten, which isn't likely,
Clark will likely be the one to do the
trick Jackie is going to tend strict
ly to his knitting this year and
make bid for the American cham
pionship. Goullet also has the same
bee in his bonnet and the season
promises to be the greatest in every
way in the history of cycling in this
city.
@
Newark fans will have to give the
Newark team credit for its showing,
and 1t is up to them to give the men
who are going to try and bring an
other championship to this city loyal
