Cesar Moretti will be given a real
test tomorrow afternoon at the velo-
drome. He will meet Alfred Goullet
In a sprint match and We will see
just how much there Is in this big.
good-natured Italian. He has shown
speed in spots. but he has not been
consistent. He has done better on
the tracks outside of Newark than
he has at the velodrome, yet It is his
ambition to win here by all means.
When Moretti first arrived he was
very awkward and he complained
that he couldn't ride the small track.
Lately he has been getting used to
the angles and he has been racing
much better. Just now he is said to
be in great shape and he is brlmful
of confidence.
In the races last Wednesday night
Aoretu displayed plenty of speed,
and he also demonstrated that he has
learned some of the bad track man
ners prevalent among the pros. He
used his brains too. and all In all he
performed Hike a regular high-class
bike rider. He showed good jump
and he did some clever switching
He was shut out of the Bill Bailey
Stakes because he thought Jackie
Clark would bring him to the front,
and he won the tandem-paced race
because he used his head as well as
his legs. Moretti on what he has
been doing lately. has proved him
self to be good rider. He will take
a lot Of beating, and Goullet will
have to be at his best to win.
o
Taking his victory over Kramer
and Rutt in the Bill Bailey Stakes.
Goullet must be in pretty good form.
The race wasn't fast, of course, the
last eighth being covered in only
70 is seconds. but Goullet was doing
some stalling going down the back
stretch. The last eighth must have
been fast, for Rutt raced Goullet
right upto the tape, and Goullet won.
So it looks as II "Goullie" was in
pretty good form. He will want to
defeat Moretti above all tomorrow,
for General Mcfarland has been
twitting Goullet and his trainer, |
Mory Gordon, about how easily Mo-
retti would win. This has nettled
and he will beat the italian
as far as he can. Goullet won from
Moretti at Brighton Beach, where it
was said the Italian was unbeatable.
II he beats him at the velodrome to-
morrow that will settle all argument.
o
Manager Mcfarland, by request,
has put on a twenty-five-mile race as
the big feature for tomorrow. and he
has well-named it the Tartar Stakes.
AS prizes will be given for the laps
and for the miles. the race is sure to
be fast and strenuous. All the stars
will compete in this event. and there
seems to be much discussion as to
who will be the winner. Champion
Kramer thinks he is going to be the |
first home, and Rutt and Goullet are |
both very sweet on their chances Big
ALT Grenda will have to be counted
among the probabilities, and there is
4 hot tip out on Jackie Clark Jackie
has been showing improvement right
along, and he may come into his best
form tomorrow. Anyway. the tip is
that Clark Is going to make a strenu-
ous effort to win the big race. and If
he does General Mcfarland will be
a happy man. Mac is disappointed
at the way Clark has been riding,
and he would like to see Jackie come
TO the front again. The Worlds
Cycling Derby meetings are coming
and MacFarland wants Clark to be
in the sprint races. Jackie
is trying hard to get in form, and he
is due TO show some rare speed to-
morrow.
Referee Ross should be on the Job
for transfers tomorrow. In the
race there is likely
to be some glaring teaming. As in
the ifty-mile race We may be treated |
to some bold "stalling' tactics. OF
all the despicable acts on a bike
track "stalling'' is the lowest and
meanest, and no punishment is too |
severe for the perpetrators. Ross |
should tame those birds who pull off !
such stuff. He should do 1t at the !
first sign. Something like life sus-
pension would just about fit such a
crime.

Mrs. Rutt cabled yesterday to Gen.
eral MacFarland inquiring, HAS
Walter left YETI" She doesn't know,
of course. that Walter will not be per- /
mitted to leave this country for Ger
many. He has tried, but could not |
get away. He even employed an as
suned name, but the steamship lines !
clerk had seen Walter ride in the
New York six-day race and called |
him by name. He has been unable
also to get word to his wife in Copen-
hagen, but he feels much relieved to
know that his family is safe.
