happy to be out of the jinks race,
looking on. Moretti got the breaks
in both heats, but he used good judg-
ment and had lot of speed. He has
also learned how to rough it bit,
and he gave Goullet the snake
ride around the far turn in the final
heat of the tandem-paced race. 1t
was so fragrant that the fans looked
for a disqualification, but Referee
Ross evidently felt that everybody
got all that was coming to him for
one night.
All the riders who have been fight
ing one another for the past month
or so have apparently made up. For
instance, it was surprising to see Iver
Lawson and ALI Goullet, not long
since mortal enemies, "palling" to-
gether in the first semi-final. They
had Moretti to beat, and they beat
him most artistically Goullet was
so friendly toward Lawson that
"Goullie" never made an effort to
beat liver in the heat of the big race,
although winners only qualified, the
second men in the three fastest heats
| also being admitted. 1t was very
magnanimous on Goullet's part, but
1t might have cost him the 5000 he
afterward won. In the second semi
final Grenda and Spears were anxious
to hand Kramer the rlnky -dink, but
"Old Steve" was wise to their pitch
ing and he outgeneraled them and
outrode them. Spears, if he had a
grain of sense, might have won, but
he wouldn't go to the front and have
try an eighth of mile from home.
Grenda took a chance, but Kramer
attended to him.
o
The surprise of the night was to
see Fogler doing his best to help
Jackie Clark beat Rutt in the third
semi-fnal Jackie was up and at
himself at the start of the heat and
he rode right into the lead Fogler
followed him, and poor old Rutt looked
to be a beaten German a lap from
home. Clark was riding pretty well
and he set a fast pace He looked to
have the race won going down the
backstretch, but Autt was not TO be
denied. Walter raced after Clark,
but Fogler came out to protect and
Rutt was stalled for a moment He
raced on, however, and Clark
couldn't carry his speed as FAR as
usual and cracked on the Mum
avenue turn. Rutt's ride was SEN
sational and his time for the last
eighth was IL AS seconds, very fast
considering he had to ride three high
to get to the front. Clark is showing
form again for the Worlds Cycling
Derby and International Champion
ships. He had all his old-time speed
last night, but he couldn't carry il
far enough. He should be up to a
good race by Sunday.

When Clark was riding good ant
in the limelight he was fairly pes
tered with heroworshipers, but now
that he is off form all his "olt
friends" have deserted him. A few o.
them don't go to the races at all ant
others who do go have Topped t
Goullet or Rutt or Kramer. A few
good races, however, will give Clarl
lot Of encouragement. He mean
; well last night, but he was not quit
up to such keen competition as Rut
produced. Clark has learned a lessor
and he will profit by his mistakes
: He will be racing as we'll as ever II
week or SO. General MacFarlant
is anxious to have Jackie at his bes
when the Cycling Derby is held, TO
| he knows that Clark in form viii
) add interest to the big race. Jacki
has promised to train his best an,
MacFarland will give him a helping
hand whenever he can.
