HARD TO PICK THE WINNER


which is the piece de resistance that
Will rend the Sabbath air at the Vel

TO be a bear of a race" to use Man
ager Floyd MacFarland's own ex-
preston. Big Mac" considers this
race his masterpiece as race
maker. And he is probably correct,
for it does appear on paper to look
ike an affair that will bring out the
grizzly spirit of the nine best pro-
fessional sprinters in America.
The entry sparkles with class, and
the six heats are SO arranged that
every rider will have a fighting
chance. The best part of the ar
rangement is having three riders in
each heat. for that will give them
all an even break. Everysheat is a
good one, and in not a single heat
can the winner be picked with any
degree of certainty. liver Lawson,
ALT Goullet and Walter Rutt will
clash in the first heat. and while
Rutt looks like the probable winner.
either Lawson or Goullet may lead
the way. If Goullet puts up one of
his real good races he may win, and
Lawson is said to be in such form
now he is liable to take the measure
of any rider here. The Swede ran
away from F'ogler in point match
at Brighton Wednesday night, and
any rider who can run away from
Battling Joe" is doing something,
for Joe has a lot to say in any
finish, no attemr who he is up
against.
Bob Spears, Jackie Clark and Aft
Grenda are in the second heat, and
Clark is the nominal favorite here,
but after seeing Spears shut Rutt
out of the final of the Grand Prize of
Newark, almost anything can be ex
pected from this young man. He
has a chance in the heat, and a good
one. too, but Clark Is the rider who
should win. Jackie should be back
in top form by Sunday, and If he is
right he will take a whole lot of
beating from Spears and Grenda.
Yankee Trio In Third Heat.
In the third heat the three Yankee
stars, Frank Kramer, Joe Fogler and
Frank Cavanagh will meet, and
Kramer should annex this heat. If
Cavanagh was a consistent performer
with a good head on his shoulders he
would be given an equal chance with
the champion. Cavanagh is like
Spears, and may pull one of his sur
prising sprints that will land him
winner.
The fourth heat is sure to be 8
great battle, for in 1t are Clark
and Goullet, along with Fogler.
Clark and Goullet are always certain
to put up a stirring race, and it is
a toss up as to who will come
through to victory. Kramer will
ride his second heat against Spears
and Lawson, this being the fourth
heat of the race. Spears again looms
up as the possible nemesis and may
take the "champer's" measure. They
say that Spears is going to be great
rider some day, but that he has not
ARRIVED" yet. This is the opinion OF
the experts, but even though he has
not arrived he gets there with both
feet very often.
"Big Fellows" To Clash.
The sixth heat is one OF the pest
in the race, even though they are all
god heats. In this heat Rutt, cav
anagh and Grenda will come to-
gether, and it will be some meeting
of the beef trust" as they are called.
In the last two five-mile races at the
Velodrome Rutt and Grenda nave
run first and second and they al
most outclassed the field in both in
stances. Rutt was the winner OF one
and Grenda took the other and both
races were very close. Grenda has
got a chance and so has Cavanagh,
but Rutt is the choice.
Every rider will ride two heats and
the three riders scoring the most
points will go in the final. Who the
finalists will be is a mooted ques-
ton and any three of the nine start
ers will have chance to battle for
the $1O0 that will go to the winner
