Goullet was trailing. The suspense
was rather trying as the men slowly

Walter Rutt won the race-his first
race in Newark, although he has been
here as visitor time and again. His
left two sterling racers in his wake.
| The strong and rugged Goullet, whom
good many wise judges believe will
be Champion kramer's greatest rival
this season, was second, Tapped on
Rutt as the then dashed over the
| finishing line, and a length and a
half or two back was Clark, who
seems to have lost much of his once
pronounced stamina and little of his
speed. This race was a delightful one
to watch. As Clark led lap after lap.
1t was very evident that he WIS going
to run his race from the front. and,
as Goullet traiied lap after lap, 1t was
also apparent that he intended to ride
his race from the rear. SO Rutt, in

no one knew just what to expect of
him. When he did show his hand,
however, he was there With the goods.
His Judgment was superior; his speed
was sufficient. He won--not easy
but he won well. He made name
for himself, for the time at least, and
he made friends by the hundreds by

Clark, the leader, to hit up his pace.
At this stage Goullet could have come
on the outside and hemmed Rutt in,
and at the same time compel Clark to
do the pacing. But Goullet, evidently,
had made up his mind to follow Rutt
and give him a challenge ut the end.

Clark likes to ride in front as n

hearts Of Clark's admirers. The hope
was short-lived. Just after passing
the eighth pole Rutt decided to
get busy. He backed off Jackie's
