Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-11-23

threw the race away through JIM
mics management. Friday night they
proved that they were the best team
in the race, and in that jam" they
proved my assertion that If they
would battle they would have the
field to their mercy. It was up to
Moran, but he "dogged" it. Nc
Namara was always willing. If they
had continued to do battle Saturday
morning they would have had Grenda
in the hotel by noon, and there would
probably have been no hour finish for
the fans that night. Joe Fogler told
me that If Moran and Mcnamara had
continued to jam there would have
been no one on the track but them
by IL o'clock Saturday. Good man
agement would have made Moran and
Mcnamara the winners by lap and
they will win nine out of ten races by
a lap If they are handled right. But
it is Moran's fault. He thinks he is
the wizard of the six-day game in
the matter of judgment and finding
angles, and he will not listen to good
advice.
Mcnamara a Wonder.
Mcnamara is the wonder of won
ders. This is the first time the fans
have seen him ride at his best. The
rider who gets him for partner In
a sIx-day race should stake him to IS
per cent. of the teams winnings.
Moran is a bearcat, but Mcnamara
rivals Jack London's asmal brute for
strength and endurance.
All Credit for Winners.
But Goullet and Grenda were the
winners and they should have all the
credit. There are any number of an
giles by which it can be figured that
a couple of other teams were as good
if no. better than this team, but 1t
was true run race with no teaming,
and there is no circumstance that can
divert one bit of credit from the win
ners. Their judgment was perfect
at all times, they gained it as much
as the others and they deserved their
victory.
No Combinations.
There were rumors of combinations
at various times and twenty times
warned the riders that II there were
any combinations their winnings
would be turned over to the Red
Cross. They always denied that there
were any combinations and If there
were they were dissolved before the
team was working individually. There
were a few combinations going after
the primes, but they did not amount
to much.
Clark and Root Badly Managed.
Jackie Clark and Eddie Root We're
murdered by poor management. l
would have liked to have managed
that team. ! would bet the family
plate that they would have Wbn, and
/ would have made no mistake. Will
any sort of management they would
never have been Tapped On one &C.
casion Clark was left asleep in his
room while a terrific sprint was on,
and no one came to wake him. Jackie
told me this himself, and was
astonished. His manager was in his
camp all the rest of the time except
this occasion, but the place for
team manager is on the track, where
he can see what is going on and be
able to anticipate things and know
what the condition of the other rid
ers is They were on the defensive
all week until they were Tapped.
They should have been on the agrees
sive. They are two of the best six
day riders ever>developed and they
were both in grand form for the race.
Bad management beat them and that
is all there is to it.
Receipts Not Up 10 Last Years
The receipts were not up to last
year This was due, / figure, to the
change of date, the hard times and
the weather conditions. The receipts
for the last night, however, were the
largest ever taken in at a six-day
race.
