AEFkGOULLET'S CHERISHED
HOPE REALIZED AT LAST
Australian Cyclist Defeats Champion Frank
Kramer in TwO-maa Match After
Losing the First Heat.
GARRISON FINISH WINS FOR EGG

Gu Tit DGcIitSS III q
match race at the Velodrome To
beat the Yankee champion en- the
Velodrome, or any big track, in a
two-man match is the ambition of
every rider, and according to Kram-
er's own records but five riders have
accomplished the trick. Goullet won
after being beaten In the first heat
proof a-plenty of the great courage
of the little Australian who put up
such q gallant fight for the Ameri-
can championship this year, and the
best part of Goullet's victory Is the
fact that he beat the champion from
the front and from behind. 1t was
a fair victory for the Australian. but,
without detracting one whit from his
triumph. it must be said that Kramer
used abominable judgment. Frank
was too confident after winning the
FIRST heat by beautiful ride down
the homestretch, and he figured Goul-
let would be an easy victim in the
second heat. While Kramer's head
n work was far below what 1t usually
Is. Goullet, on the other hand, put
up one of the cleverest exhibitions of
Reneralshp ever seen at the Velo-
drome When, after discovering in the
first heat that he could not ride lap
in front and beat Kramer, Goullet
stalled the champion in the second
heat clear to the turn out of the back
stretch on the final lap and beat him
In a sprint that was not over 200
Yards in length. Kramer tried
dozen times in this heat to force the
Australian into going faster, but
Goullet jumped with the champion
and slowed when Kramer slowed
after each bluff at going by, and In
this way saved all his strength until
after the final twelfth pole was
passed With Goullet so fresh at such
a short distance from the finish line
there wasn't a chance in the world
for Kramer to go by The time for
the final eighth-mile in this heat was
thirteen seconds nat which shows
how we'll Goullet stalled the Old Mas
ter. AS they came down the home
stretch in this heat Kramer sat up
and quit when he saw how hopeless
" he was beaten and laughed at his
own folly as he coasted down the
stretch.

After being beaten from the rear
In the second heat Kramer decided to
ride from the front in the third heat
and he Jumped by Goullet at the tape
on the bell tap. Goullet fought hard
and it took lot Of steam out of the
champion to get to the front After
passing Goullet he slowed, whicn
forced the Australian to back out and
come around. This operation cost
Goullet a couple of lengths, and kra-
mer. seeing Gouilet two lengths to the
bad, went dead" down the back
I, stretch. Not in the best of shape
Kramer made mistake by such
ride and Goullet came fast just when
the Yank was iring badly. Kramer
was laboring hard around the maj
turn and evidently realized that he
was in grave danger of being beaten,
for in his desperation he ran Gouliet
away high on entering the nome
stretch. It was not a switch-just q
high ride that made Goullet's task all
the harder-but the Australian had
the speed and the strength LETT ana
he rode around and won, passing the
fatigued champion in the last fifteen
wards. The time for the final eighth
in this heat was II seconds fiat, which
shows that the champion was not In
the best of shape. When Kramer won
the 900 Criterion he sprinted lap
and a half ir. front and then did the
final eighth IN u S-5 seconds.
Crowd Astonished.
when Goullet won the deciding heat
the crowd was astonished. some being
astounded. The remark that the race
was a fake was heard in parts OF the
stands. incredulous fans oeIeving
that il is impossible for Kramer TO
be beaten fairly. But the champion
was beaten as fairly as any rider was
ever beaten. If the Yank was not in
sore straights in the deciding heat
he would never have given Goullet
that high ride which was palpable
foul, and would have brought about
Kramer's disqualification had he won.
Referee Arthur Ross remarked after
the heat that he was pleased that
Goullet had won, as he would have
had to disqualify Kramer for fouling.
Goullet switched Kramer in the
second heat on the last turn just as
the champion was trying to jump by,
and while this switch interfered with
him to some extent it was not respon-
sible for his defeat. Goullet said after
the third heat that he believed that
Kramer bored up the track on ac-
count of being very tired and riding
ssbIind" and declared that he was
positive it was unintentionaL
Tandem Paced Match a Great Race.
There have been some great tandem
paced races at the Velodrome this
season. but the three cornered match
at fifteen miles between Oscar Egg,
of Switzerland; Jimmy Moian, of
Chelsea, and Joe Fogler, of Brooklyn,
was the greatest ever witnessed at
the local course Egg was the winner
In a Garrison finish and Moran was
second, beaten by not more than ten
y rds after having what appeared to
be a winning lead two laps from the
end of the race. Fogler was badly
beaten and finished two laps and fifty
wards behind the winner. The Swiss
rider was the best man all through
the race, although he was in second
position and yards behind several
times during the contest The for
eigner's victory was popular one,
: and he electrified the crowd severai
times by racing away from the tan
dem team he was following to pick
ND a relief team far out in front. The
fans had never seen this done before,
and they were rather astonished by
Eggs apparent audacity Moran rode
very creditable race and was not
beaten until the final yards. Many
believe that the veteran would have
won had he had better pace all
through the race, but Jimmy was in
trouble a couple of times and once
was shaken off his pace completely.
Fogler was contender until the
ninth mile. He fell back after hot
mix-up on this mile and was Tapped
by Egg on the eleventh mile.
Egg in Lead Early.
The first five miles were ridden at
rather easy gait the time for the
five miles being 9 minutes and 80
seconds Egg led all the way with
the other riders trailing in behind.
on the sixth mile Egg started to hit
IN the pace, and on the seventh mile
he was leading by thirty yards. At
