Jackie Clark is leading the cyclists
point table with 3S points to his
credit. Most of these points were
scored in open competition. Alfred
Grenda has won his way into second
place. mostly by match and tandem
races, while Aft Goullet holds down
third place by virtue of finishing sec
ond in nearly every open race run
this season. "Goullie" seems to have
a penehant for finishing just behind
the winners this season, and has
watched the other fellows finish in
six races so far.
Worlds Champion Walter Rutt has
won four races-three scratch races
and one tandem race-and he was
placed fourth in the Stanley Handi-
cap, which gives him fourth place in
the table. Next to Rutt comes
Freddy Hill, who has won most of
his points in invitation races, in
which the stars are barred. Ernie
rye had landed fifth place by win
ming handicap, one invitation and
ii tandem handicap with Grenda for
mate. Joe Fogler takes sixth place
with one victory, three thirds and
two fourths. The Brooklyn riders
victory was scored in a point match
Clark, Goullet and Grenda, although
Clark finished ahead of the "Battler"
each time they met, Fogler having
won by taking all the points scored
on laps.
Kramer Is Eleventh.
George Wiley, the motor paced king,
mas won two races and finished sec
ond once in three starts, which gives
him eighth place. Frank Krarce r,
the sprint champion, is in eleventh
place, with two wins over Rutt in
match races at the Velodrome. II
the champions fourteen victories in
Europe early this spring were
credited in this table, the Yankee
would be leading by wide margin.
A rather astonishing feature of the
standing of the riders is Frank Cav
anash's position in last place with
only one fourth place to his credit
The Irish Giant" is riding strong.
hhut is not sprintins as fast as last
h sason. He IS a warm weather per-
former and will probably move up
near the top later in the season. The
ten-mile paced race in which he will
start Sunday at the Velodrome is
calculated to bring him around to
form.
Ray Eaton Showing Up Well.
Raymond Eaton, who rode his first
professional 1ace April 26, is leading
ten pre- veterans and has performed
very well for q professional rookie"
Bob Spears with six points is far be-
low where rider Of his ability should
be, but, like Cavanagh, the lanky
Australian is awaiting the warm
weather to show his real ability.

table both riders on tandem teams
placed in tandem races are credited
with points. Thirty-one professional
races have been run this season and
tour of them were tandem races. In
figuring the points five points are
credited for first place and three, two
and one for second. third and fourth
places, respectively. In match races
in which only two riders compete the
winner is credited with five points,
while che loser does not get any
