Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-09-01


fore a Newark crowd, but it was toe
bad that Wiley got his spill, as IL
would probably have been battle
royal between the Messenger Boy
and the "Mlkman" for honors. AS il
is. James Francis now has two titles
hanging around him, and only short
while ago Nat Butler very seriously
contemplated RELOCATING James to the
ranks of the "has-beens" and did not
want to give him a contract. And
then they say that they never come
back"
Wiley made a game effort to regain
his lost lap, and undoubtedly would
have done so if he could have held
the tandem champions. He made a
decided gain at one time, when the
Georgi- Schlce combination sprinted
with him, but the Grenda- Walker
team was on the grass and could not
get going in time to take him around
Moran had plenty left at the bell lap,
and showed a great sprint at the
finish.
Bill Bailey did not make very
good showing against Kramer. In
the first heat he acted as if he was
discouraged when Kramer went into
the lead, and did not make a very
decided effort to pass the champion.
He showed to better advantage IN the
second heat, although he seemed to
take it for granted that he could not
get around Kramer after big Steve
was In front. The time for the last
eighth was not the best either man
can do Bailey would do well to copy
from Goullet in regard to Kramer.
When Goullet goes into race it Is
with the idea that Kramer has got to
"show him" whether he can win or
not All the other riders go into the
race knowing that Kramer is their
master. or ii seems that way, at least.
VIII Bailey be matched with Goullet
or Rutt next? Very sincerely,
A SALT LAKE CITY FAN.
Rollins sis said to be the best anna
teur up around Boston. We missed
Lotus and Logan. That is about the
only mistake Mcfarland has made
this season. Maybe it is all for the
best. though, as the Velodrome was
not large enough for the crowd, even
without those two champions. There
is talk of Kramer and Goullet riding
in the tandem championship.
