Frank Kramer, the "Old Master"
has ridden into three straight defeats
at the hands of Alfred Goullet. 1t Is
\ all right for Gouliet to wallop our
y champion once in while hut when
4 1t becomes habit it Is not all right.
Up at New Haven last night where
: early this spring Charley Turville
erected a monument in lieu of BIZ
4 cycle track, Goullet administer
ed his third straight facing to
our champion, who has been travelling
! IA parallel road to the New York
Giants of late. But the worm will
turn and the Old Master has set to-
morrow for the date of the turning.
81 Then he returned from New Haven
his morning the champion had blood
4 in his eyes and he declared that he
was going to win a bike race tomor-
row If it was the last act of his life.
If the champion keeps his promise
then Goullet will find his winning
streak has reached an abrupt end,
for there is but one race In which
4 Kramer and Goullet will meet tomor-
row. That race is a French point
match and Bill Bailey. of England,
.}and Cesar Moretti, Of Italy, are listed
among the starters. The English
A man and the italian are not being

Kramer-Goullet controversy grow

the Australian last Sunday, but they
are not going to remain neutral by
any means. The chances of Bailey
4 and Moretti appear to be at least
ID fifty-fifty with Kramer and Goullet
and any one of the four may come

The fans should not figure the re-
suit of the race n New Haven at
! ALL Kramer was at a disadvantage
on that track and riders with less
speed than Goullet might have beaten
him there. The champion can ride
any track in the world except the one
chat, Charley Turville built when no
opfswas looking. The only riders who
IN ride that track with any degree
ksuccess are Goullet, Jackie Clark
NJ Joe Fogler, and these three riders

Hal prize money that has been put

The French point match tomorrow
should furnish six very good races.
will meet and in the second heat
Kramer viii tackle Bill Bailey. The
order will be reversed in the third
and fourth heats, Kramer meeting
Moretti and Bailey meeting Goullet.
In the fifth heat Moretti and Bailey
will meet, and then in the sixth heat
will come the big fireworks--the Kra- i
mer-Goullet duel. The last heat is
figured by the savants to be the cru
cial heat that will decide the result
Of the race. But If Bailey should beat
Kramer or Moretti should defeat
Goullet or vice versa, then there will
be nothing crucial about that sixth
heat. 1t may all go wrong as did
the Test, which was won by Goullet,
and the championship revenge" /
which Bob Spears captured.

George Wiley was in rare form at
New Haven last night and had the
satisfaction of beating Clarence Car
man, the motor-paced champion. who
succeeded to Wiley's laurels this year.
Wiley won and he won easily, and he
will, if he rides as well tomorrow, /
take a lot of beating in the fifteen :
mile tandem paced match with Jimmy
Moran and Oscar Egg, which is one
of the big events of the Sabbath card
here. Beating Carman affords lot
of satisfaction to Wiley, and if he
can wallop Moran tomorrow along
= with Egg the little battler will be
highly pleased. 1t was Moran who
defeated Wiley in the middle-distance
derby, and Wiley was very anxious
to win that race. In fact, each of the
four starters in the big derby had
their hearts set on winning. 1t is q
peculiar thing, but the mid lle-dis-
lance stars would rather win one race /
at the Velodrome than three on any
other track on the c. r. A. curcuit. |
If Egg rides the race he says he is
going to ride tomorrow, the fans will
see a great flight of speed and they
will also see the two YaEks beaten.
Egg has declared that he will go right
from the start of the race without a
change of pace clear to the finish. He
rides that way in Europe and would

ace here If he had been in top FORM
A*heady' rider, the Swiss would not
attempt such a ride until he was right
on edge. He is well satisfied with his
condition now, and all he will ask Is I
sufficient pace.
The pacemakers are going to be
vitality interested in the outcome OF
the long race tomorrow for General
Mcfarland has put up sum as
bonus for the winning pacing crew,
and they are sure to ride their "heads
Off for the extra induceInent.-

Reggie Mcnamara and Bob spears, !
along with Jackie Clark, are on the
\ honor mark in the handicap tomorrow
, and in the tandem handicap Spears
and Mcnamara are the scratch !
pair. Mcnamara in long handicap, /
is as good as any rider in the game, !
and will make it a race He is of the
old school that Nat Butler and Mac
Farland belonged to and will not
"welch" on his pace. 1t is such per-
formers as these that make handieaps
and there is nothing more interesting
than a good handicap race.

With probably not over ten more
races to ride as an amateur, Cham
MON Harry Kaiser is going after Dom
aid McDougall's record of fifty three
victories, which the former champion
established last season. The cham
MON has two races to ride tomorrow
and if he wins he will be only six
races behind McDougalls grand rec
ord.
