Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-06-02

Messrs. Million and Uppercu, they
are going to see one of the best meets
Of the season tomorrow night at the
Nelodrome. The occasion viii be the
running of the semi-fnal heats in the
Grand Prize of Newark. which is
worth $1,000 to the winner. And these
semi dnal heats, let me tell you, are
some heats. No race in years anG
years has brought forward SO many
sterling riders. There are three heats
with three men in heat, and eight
ouf of these nine men are worthy OF
the name of stars. In one heat We
have Champion Frank Kramer. who
has been abusing Jackie Clark sc
lately, and opposed TO the great
American champion are Joe Fogler
who is always looking for an angle
10 get in or a way to get out. and
Alfred Grenda. the old Hoss," who
says little. but who pedals like the
Old Harry. With so much money
staring them in the face. Fogler and
Grenda are not likely to pay much
attention to Kramer, and they may
run right over the champion. This
is the heat that will call for the par
tieul2r attention of Referee Arthur
Ross. Kramer will be ION his own"
for sure, but he is going TO have the
time of his life beating Grenda and
Foeler if the breaks are not in his
foyor. II Kramer so happens to be
third on the bell lap he may just as
well call it 4 days work and sit up
And with Foxy Joe" Fogler. the
money hater.' around kramer is
just as likely as not to be third when
the finish line is crossed. To win.
Kramer will have to split Fogler
ana Grenda, and that's what he is
going to try to do.
o
Then take the heat IN which Wal
ter Rutt, the "Welmeister," will 20
to the post. He has the keenest kind
of competitors in Frank Cavanagh
and Bob Spears, and Rutt will have
to use his head as well as his legs to
win the heat. Cayanagh has tho
speed. as everybody knows, and every
now and then he uses it to advan-
tage. With the right kind of a
break Cavanagh would beat Rutt. es-
pecially if Spears were not unfriend-
y. Spears, too, has a chance. He
will no doubt make a play to get on
Rutt's wheel and endeavor to race
from behind in the last hundred
yards or SO with that great short
sprint of his. Thus Rutt will have
to be prepared to overcome the speed
ot Cavanagh after a long ride and
the quick jump of Spears in the
stretch run.
o
The Kramer heat and the Rutt heat.
and exciting as they prom
Use TO be, will not have anything on
the third heat. in which are Clark
and Alfred Goullet, with Drobach as
a filler-in. Unlike the other heats,
however only two of the three start
ars appear TO have a chance. Some
are picking Goullet to win and others
are claiming that Clark cannot lose.
When you have such opinions to deal
with it is just as we'll to toss up a
,oin and take the result for granted.
That Goullet and Clark are very
evenly matched there isn't any doubt.
There have been times when Goullet
could beat Clark every day in the
week and there have been times when
Clark has found Goullet no difficult
AS the riders stand today
it looks like an even thing. Clark has
been in rare form for some time and
has been winning his races with ease.
Goullet has just rounded into form
and he is riding very fast. With
both men in fine shape and fit the
struggle for victory will be worth the
while. Goullet seems awfully conf
dent of victory and says he will ride
as he has never ridden before. Clark,
no doubt, feels the same way about
1t. OF the three semi-fnal heats in
the great Newark Prize race, person
ally I would rather see the one in
which Clark and Goullet will meet.
@
Referee Ross is going to have his
troubles in these semi-final heats.
That there will be many and various
suspicious circumstances there isn't
a doubt i'm the world. However. cir
cumstantial evidence shouldn't be al
lowed to count too much. Ross, l
know, is absolutely honest, and he
has shown me that his judgment is
of the superior kind. He is a game
ster, too, and the kissing of the fans
does not alter his decision. To Ross,
the "petted calves" are no more than
the merest tyros-and they are not
as much, have noticed on numerous
occasions, for the referee does allow
an amateur to get away with some
thing now and then. While there is
bound to be an angle here and an an
gle there, Ross will no doubt, as usual
use common sense in his decisions
He will have full charge of the heats
and he will be permitted to order a
heat run over if in his judgment the
best man, through some unfair man.
ner, has been deprived of victory
Ross will do his best, although he will
not be able to satisfy everybody.

Larry Sutton, the scout, doesn'
usually talk much about the Newark
club, but he is willing to go on record
as saying that the Tigers are goinl
to win the pennant again this season
