Alfred GOullet, the Australian star.
did a come back at the Velodrome
last night and won the Bill Bailey
Stakes, which increased his bank ac-
count some 5000. Goullet was off
form a time, but he was himself
again last night and had everything
speed judgment and plenty of ag-
gressiveness. With this combination
he outrode Frank Kramer and Wal
ter Rutt, the two greatest riders in
the world. Rutt was second in the
big race and Kramer was third.
Goullets judgment won the race for
him, for he was not as fast as either
of the champions last night. The
semi-finals showed Rutt and Kramer
to be faster than the Australian, yet
the latter managed to get to the
front at the right time in the final
and then he 'hipped'' his way to vic
tory The Yankee and the German
did thee final Fights in II 4-5 sec
onds in the semi-finals, while Goul-
let, pressed to the limit, did IL sec
onds fiat in his semi final. And he
won the final in the comparatively
slow time of IL 1-5 seconds.
Kramer and Rutt used all their
generalship in the final, but Goullet
got the right position at the right
time. There were eleven changes in
position in the first five laps of the
race and there was more shifting IN
the race than any race run at the
Velodrome this year. Just before the
start of the fifth lap Goullet was
leading with Kramer in second po-
sition. Kramer jumped and took the
lead and the big crowd figured the
race as good as won when Frank
got to the front. But Goullet jumped
and came into the lead just as the
bell rang for the final lap. Rutt went
around with Goullet, which placed
him second, and Kramer third. Then
it looked like a victory for the Ger
man, for he had raced away from
Bob Spears in his heat and in his
semi-final he outclassed Jackie Clark
and Joe Fogler by riding around
them at the eighth and finishing
yards ahead, eased un. But Rutt
waited, going down the backstretch,
and Goullet waited, too, and when
Rutt went, Goullet went with him
and managed to win by margin
that was so small the judges could
not decide who had won. If they did
not have recourse to the automatic
judge they would have called it a
dead heat. but the mechanical device
showed Goullet a winner by the
smallest fraction of an inch. The de-
cision was well received by the big
crowd and Goullet received a gen.
erous amount of applause as he did
the tour of honor Kramer never had
a chance from third position in the
sprint and finished a length back Of
the winners.
Several intermittent showers inter
rupted the races, but there was not
enough ram to wet the track to a
dangerous degree and after short
waits the races were resumed. All
during the final of the Bill Bailey
Stakes there was a slight sprinkle
which may have made the track a
bit slow, but 1t did not interfere with
the race.
Spills Aplenty.
Accidents marred the tandem paced
match between Goullet, Kramer, Mo-
retti and Rutt. There was too much
pace in the two shorter heats and in
the second leg of the match Kramer
and Goullet, along with number OF
pacemakers, including Hill and cav
anagh, went down. Kramer and Goul-
let were not injured to any extent
and soon came on the track again to
continue the race. 1t was decided for
the safety of the riders to call off the
three-mile heat and let the five-mile
heat be decisive after this spill, but
before the five-mile heat was under
way Goullet and Kramer fell again
when Goullet slipped down the track
in front of the Yankee. Kramer's
spills wrecked his two racing wheels
and he was forced to withdraw from
the third heat. AS the hour was get
ting late Manager Floyd MacFarland
decided to run one more heat at two
miles and with only one tandem team
to furnish the pace.
Pacemakers Help Moretti.
Moretti won the first heat with
Goullet second and Kramer third. The
Italian won by good margin after
a great pull by Grenda and Walker.
The Australians took him into the
lead from fourth position and ran
away from the other three stars.
When the pacemakers dropped out
Moretti was fully fifty yards in adj
vance of Kramer and Goullet, but the
latter pair made up all but few
yards of the distance. Moretti also
had the advantage of pace clear to
the final eighth, while Kramer and
Goullet rode unpaced for more than
a lap. Grenda and Pye were respon-
sible for Moretti being paced to the
final furlong, but they were afraid to
swing up the bank for fear of causing
a spill, the track at that time being
congested with tandem teams and
tions of the match called for pace
only to the final lap, but Moretti was
not penalized. which was fair ruling
under the circumstances. Rutt got
mixed up in a maze of pacemakers
and finished in the ruck.
Deciding Heat.
In the deciding heat Goullet got
the pacemakers with Rutt second and
Moretti in third position. The posi-
lions remained the same until just
before the start of the final lap when
Moretti jumped and took the lead.
The italian rode a good race as far
as speed and judgment are concerned,
but he switched all during the last
lap when he saw he was wiring,
Goullet was second by inches.
sstalling" spoiIs Two-Mile Tandem Race.
"Stalling" spoiled the chances of the
backmarkers in the two-mile tandem
handicap which they would surely
have won had the teams all worked
to win, But some of the teams were
"stalling" for the leaders, who were
far in front of the rear group. The
"stallers" were successful and Ander-
son and Vanoni won with Thomas
and Cameron second after a great
ride for half mile. Grenda and
Pye also put up great ride and were
third from scratch. The effort killed
