NO STOP TO RIDERS

liens Point to Excellent Conn
petition Tomorrow.
RECORD IN MATCH MAY FALL

hL(OkD lin MA lCIl MA FALL
The bike fans are not overlooking
Que of the last chances to witness
ttetf favorite sport this season, and
everything points to big crowd and
soIaes good racing at the Velodrome
tomorrow. Unlike the ball players,
tho bike riders do not play horse
when the season is on the wane, for |
the cyclists are not on salary and |
have to win their money. It is a |
peculiar thing, but the riders show /
unusual spirit and ambition as the I
End Of the season draws near. For
the past three weeks the riders have
been training at the Velodrome as
though the spring season was just
about TO begin. A lot of this ambi-
9iou. of course Is due to the ap-
aapoach of siX-day time. There is a
lot of hard work necessary in the
preparation for the long grinds.
The meet tomorrow will be the
FINAL sprint meet, although there will
be~another meet before the curtain
is drawn on the local season A week
from today there will be q sprint meet
81 Boston and two days later the
annual Boston siX-day race will be
run. The riders will return from
f3eantown Immediately after the race
There to compete in big 10O-kilo-
meter team race at the Velodrome,
and that meet will mark the end of
the racing year in Newark. The 100
Kifometer team race will bring to-
gcther all of the riders who will COM
bete in the New York siX-day race
Including Sores, Darragon and Meur-
SER, the French stars.
~ Riders in Excellent Condition.
With only two more opportunities
to increase their bank accounts prior
Ii the advent OF q long winter, the
riders will put up q stiff battle for
Tie money in the seven races on the
card tomorrow There was probably
IL time during the present season
when all of the riders were in such
excellent condition as they are now.
Tley have had two weeks of straight
training without any racing and
they are fit as the proverbial fiddle.
oscar Egg Reggie Mcnamara and
Nif Goullet are in fine fettle for the
ten4mie tandem-paced match, and IL
ttere is good weather on tap tomor-
rev there will probably be new
mark hung up for the distance. The
eace is sure to be fast. The condi-
sures that. The pacing crew leading
on the greatest number of laps will
Receive double the money paid to the
other crews and that is incentive
enough to make certain that the pace
will be fast all the way.

- Egg Is Favorite.
.~'Egg is the favorite, and he will be
a. hard man to beat. From what the
Swiss champion has shown in train
ing no mistake has been made in
making him the first choice, although
itsis by only hair breadth that that
honor has been conferred, for Nc
Namara and Goullet are riding very
FAST and strong, and the Australians !
may upset the dope Goullet is the
dark horse in the race 1t is the first
time this season he has been up
against two pluggers who are spe-
cialists in paced races and how ne
will fare is uncertain. "GoullieN :
showed great form in beating other
stars in similar contests, while Nc
Namara has proven his worth in his
paced matches against Egg, and he J
will take some beating.
oe Kramer In Record Trial
1.-THE novelty ride of Frank Kramer ,
Is causing considerable discussion.
kramer will attempt to better the
ifrark Of Alfred Goullet paced by six
riders on single machines. During a
training session at Salt Lake City
Gpullet established mark of l min
ute 80 As seconds, and on that occa-
sion Goullie had six riders take him
auathe way. In Kramer the fans are
sure to see a rider who cannot only
stiols but can go the last lap If neces-
saPy.,r He will only be required to go
the. last half-lap however, as Law
son. Cavanagh, Fogler, Goullet and |
Brenda will take him up to that mark,
and 1.-The last man will swing up to
give the champer all the track he
wants.
as
.i.ss,o Other Races on Program.
For the tandem teams that pace in !
the three-cornered tandem-paced
match Manager MacFarland has ar
ranged one-mile tandem handicap,
and, in addition, the professionals
will have a -third-mile handicap.
In the last race Kramer will qualify
by honor, the others being able to
reach the final by riding the four
heats.
ap
Great Battle Looked for in Match.
The match race for big men, in
which Alfred Grenda, Frank Cav
anagh Cesar Moretti and Bob Spears
are entered, will be a bear of a race.
With the winner required to take two
heats in order to gather the large end
of the purse, 1t is hard to tell how
many heats it will take to finish, but
it is a certainty that it will go at
least three or four.
mn
Events for Amateurs.
The amateurs have a third-mile and
n two-mile handicap in which to show
their worth. Harry Kaiser and Donald
McDougall, the new and the old anna
teur champions, are the men to start
from the honor mark in both races.
A two-mile novice will start the ball
a-rolling tomorrow,
Annual Banquet Tonight.
The annual banquet given by the
cycle Racing Association to the
iudges and officials at the Velodrome
and others connected with the asso-
citation and cycling in general will be
held tonight at the Kruger Audi
torium. A high-class cabaret and an
excellent menu have been assured,
and the chances are that some of the
officials will be real cabaretabian
knights this evening
