Worlds Champion Walter Rutt and
Jackie Clark were the winners Of the
two principal races on the card ut the
Voiodrome last night. The worlds
title holder won the James J. Freel
Stakes" and Jackie took his match
with All Goullet in two straight heats
Clark was Goullets mister and won
from the front and from the rear.
The second heat was very close and
there was great protest from many
spectators In the grandstand but IN
the first heat The Rocket came
home over length to the good.
Rutt put up d great ride IN the
stake race and his victory WAS well
earned Besides the world $ cham
pion. there were in the final Frank
Kramer. Ar Grenda. Frank GaVanagh
and Joe Fogler At the bell Grenda
was leading with CaYlnagh ilghtlng
the Tasmaniau on The outside and
Fogler was next in line with Kramer
and Rutt riding side by side in the
rear
Great Interest 10 Gave Man
There was much interest III what
Cavanagh was going to do and the
big fellow had a position that made
him LOOK like winner If he was as
good as he was last Sunday when he
defeated Grenda. But CaNauagh SIM
ply was not there" and he could not
get around the Tasmauian In behah
of CaVanagh. however. 1t must be ad-
mitted that he had IA long, hard rlde
on the outside and Grenda was strong
enough to hold him off until he was
beaten rider At the eighth pole, Rutt
Jumped and was in the lead on the
middle Of the final turn with Kramer
following high up the bank. The way
Rutt rode around Grenda and GaNan-
aaa was astonishing hut il is no more
than is expected of a worlds cham
Mon. In the final stretch Kramer
came fast but Rutt never waFered
and won by q comfortable margin
with Grenda second. Kramer third,
Cavanagh fourth and fogler NTH
The hve tinalists came through to
victory in their heats with little
trouble. Grenda had the hardest heat
FOR Bob Spears was lined mp against
the Uon-hearted Tasmanian. Bob
was lost in the final sprint and TIN
ished a bad third. Spears sat up
coming down the homestretch and II
was thought that there was some
thing the matter with his wheel but
when he dsmounted he SAID that ne
simply was not there. lYer Law
son lined up in the fifth heat with
Cavanagh and three other starters,
and the Swede led the way home, but
IL was such a circuitous route over
the final twelfth he was disqualified
for switching. and CaVanagh, who
was second and the victim of Law
sons foul riding, was given the heat.
OF all the switching ever seen at the
Nelodrome there never was such an
exhibition as the one Lawson put up,
and he Is indeed fortunate that he Is
not facing the proposition OF paying
heavy fine. Ii seems as though
Lawson simply cannot refrain from
foul riding. If Lawson is incurable
then q year, or life suspension should
be melted out to ] n, for such tactics
are a menace to the safety of the
other riders. In the Boston siX-day
finish last November Lawson deliber
ately threw Fred Hill and Eddie Root
and the former was very badly in
jured. The Swede was fined 500 for
that offense, but as a lesson that fine
evidently had no effect.
Lawson Wins One Mile Invitation.
In the one mile invitation Lawson
won with a good burst of speed and
a straight ride and he received a
good hand for he is quite popular
but after his ride in the heat of the
big race he was greeted with a long
round of Kisses. John Bedell finished
second in this race, with George
Cameron third and Lloyd Thomas
fourth. Lawson came out at the
twelfth pole and ran away from the
field.
Limit Men Win Places in Handicap.
The loaing tactics of the back
markers in the flve-mile handicap
cost the stars the long end of the
purse I'D this race. which was Won
