although he still had wonderful
pacing crew left, which included as
one team Kramer and Goullet. All
though but two of his original tan
! dems were still in commission his
| pacemakers were still good and they
gave him more than he could stand
in the matter of pace Moran was no
| better off, as his crew had to alter
nate on two tandems. Moran's star
team was composed of Rutt. the
| sprint champion of the world, and
Pete Drobach, and they did much to
bring him victory.
The last three miles developed into
a wonderful contest, although 1t was
a great race almost from the start
| With three miles to go Wiley, the
| little human Dynamo kept coming
and coming, and his attack would
have broken the heart of a less de-
termined warrior than old James
Francis. Wiley's dashes to the front
in the last stages were the mad dashes
of a frantic rider, and time and again
| it looked as though he would get
! away and win. after making up his
lost distance.
Moran Never Wavered.
Never wavering, Moran fought on
doggedly and would, after catching
| w Hey, 20 tight OH ny MIN ana keep
up the heart breaking pace The big
crowd stood up and shouted for both
riders, and 1t was the widest scene
ever witnessed at the historic track
1t brought to mind the old days of
Jimmy Michael and Frank Starbuck
and Tom Linton and Eddie McDuffee,
| ghosts of the past, who had thrilled
past generations at Manhattan Beach,
Charles River, Boston. and Willow
Grove, Philadelphia, during those hall
cyon days of the bike game when
thirty and forty thousand people
| fought to gain admission to those
great human-paced races.
Moran, strong TO the end not only
forestalled Wiley's attempts to get his
lap back but was able to lead the
way on the final lap. He finished
twenty yards in advance of the little
battler amid deafening applause
he did the tour of honor following the
victory the crowd extended Moran
great ovation, and there were also
shouts for Wiley But Moran was
the hero, for he had never "dogged"
II for an instant, and even though
luck seemed to be in his favor, he had
won a well-earned victory. In addi-
ton to winning worlds title Moran
eclipsed the worlds record for the
hour and for fifty kilometers back of
tandem pace.
Kramer Won Handily.
The international match race be-
tween Bill Bailey, the champion of
England, and American Champion
Frank Kramer, which was the other
big feature of the program, was won
by the Yankee in straight heats Kra-
mer won rather handily and Bailey
was evidently not at himself. He
had been out of training for almost
two weeks and he had undergone tie
hardships of an ocean voyage in the
steerage of a refugee ship from
bloody Europe, and these things are
not conducive of good condition to
an athlete.
In the second heat Bailey rode a
very creditable race for a half lap
in the final sprint and was on even
terms with the Yankee for fully 100
yards, but Kramer was the stronger
and had the English champion worn
down when the backstretch was
reached. From that point on it was
all Kramer In each heat Kramer
rode from the front. That Kramer
was none too confident of his ability |
to beat the Englishman was shown
by the fact that he rode each time
from the front.
Fans Greet Bailey.
Bailey is very popular here. When
he came on the track for the first
heat he received great burst of ap-
plause and he was given another Oval
ton when he shook hands with Kra-
mer after the second heat. The Eng
lishman also rode in his heat of the
worlds sprint championship. which
was held over from last Wednesday.
He had little difficulty in winning
after being placed badly at the bell
Seeing an opening on the pole, Bail
ey shot by Rupprecht and Cory,
who were leading, and once in front
he raced away to an easy victory.
Bailey was very confident that he
would make his heat. 1t was the
first race scheduled following the
novice, but he would not ride the
heat until after the match with Kra-
mer. He asked Manager MacFarland
to put the heat on later in the day
and let the others in the heat with
him ride the repechage while he
would waive his right to compete III
the repechage and take his chances
in the heat alone. The repechage was
run first and then, later, Bailey's
heat was run after the other riders
in his heat had ridden the repechage
and lost. By doing this, Sir" Bill
showed that he is a game chap.
An Star Field in Half Mile.
1t was an all-star field that lined UP
for the final of the half-mile open
professional, which was won by Bob
Spears in the last few yards. Moret-
ii sprinted a lap and a half with
Spears on his wheel, and Lawson
following Spears. Moretti put up a
really wonderful ride. as Spears did
not beat him much, and Lawson was
unable to take second money from
IL Ia.
for the place. Grenda was fourth,
and Rutt, Mcnamara and Goullet
were unplaced, the great Goullet run
ming last.
Arthur Spencer, the Canadian anna
teur champion, and Rollins, the Bos-
ton crack, both impressed the fans
favorably by winning their heats of
the amateur championship derby.
Rollins rode like finished rider and
won easily by using perfect judg-
ment. The Canadian did not display
very good headwork but world of
speed, and was roundly applauded
after riding three high and winning
after a delayed sprint that looked
