WELL WIN RACE"
SAYS ALT GOULLET
Australian Cyclist Confident OF
Victory, Despite Jean Work
of Opponents.
CONDITIONS OF THE FINISH

CONDITIONS OF THE FINISH
After six teams had gained lap
on the leaders yesterday, ALI Goullet
said "Well, they set out to murder
us and they have succeeded, but
we'll win the race just the same.
The field worked together against
us and even if we are beaten In the
finish tomorrow night l think We
will be considered the moral Yictors
anyhow"
The six-day race will come to
close at 1890 o'clock tonight. In the
event that three or more teams are
tied for first place at $3.50 O'Clock
there will be sprints every fifteen laps
during the last hour and the race
will be decided on the points scored
in these sprints. II only two teams
are tied there will be a match race,
best two in three heats to decide first
and second place. There will be an
hour finish between the riders IN
the second division to decide the
other places. There will be an hour
finish between the second division
riders If one team is in the lead at
$3.50 o'clock.
Probably the team receiving the
greatest ovation for getting on even
terms with the leaders was that
composed Of Clarence Carman and
Harry Kaiser. This combination,
which was formed when Piercey and
Cameron were injured wednesday,
has made a great uphill fight. Kaiser
jumped SO far ahead that 1t was al
most q physical impossibility at the
time for the back markers TO eaten
him. Carman finished the job, while
the crowd, on its feet, yelled its
approval.
Cavanagh is another rider who is
proving a surprise. Cavanagh al
ways appeared to have the speed on
the jumps, but he appeared to mis-
Judge his own speed when 1t came to
continuing up a sprint.
The bike riders who were Tapped
Thursday night by Goullet and Hill
surely made good their threat TO
subdue the Australian-American
team. They started early yesterday
and before the big crowd that came
in the evening arrived the heroes
of the night before were completely
SuOQucQ. IL
one and anything to bring the lead
ing team back with the field that was
Tapped.
Iver Lawson had much to do with
the undoing of Goullet and Hill. The
famous Swede wanted to see them
Tapped and, even though he and Root
did not gain a lap, Lawson seemed to
be satisfied. They had one fine chance
to get up on even terms, but after
Lawson had picked up commanding
lead, Roots handlebars twisted and
he was unable to relay his partner.
A duplicate of the racing Pierce
wheel ridden by Champion Kramer
was put up for a prime" last night
and was won by Joe Fogler. The
prime" appeared to be a hoodoo, for
when 1t was being run the first time,
Kaiser and Carman started jam,
in which they Tapped the field, and
this stopped the race for the special
prize. On the next try there was
spill, in which Cavanagh and Dupuy-
went down and were badly shaken up,
and the race was of for seventeen
minutes. When the race was re-
sumed, Fogler won the bike.
If the seven teams that are now on
even terms are still tie at $3.50 tonight,
there will be some finish to the race.
There will be an hour finish, with
spirits every fifteen laps, and seven
teams will furnish more fireworks
than there was in the Garden a month
ago with six teams in the finish.
The star teams that are in the lead
now expect to eliminate some of the
a. 4-lz trrI,k 20.
the tanning" stopped yesterday, all
of the teams that are even began IT,
rest themselves for the big effort to-
night.
Spears and Cory are a very popular
team and are being picked by many
as likely winners of the race. From
what he has shown in the race, Spears
should be able to hold his own with
Goullet, but Hill will have consid-
cradle advantage over Cory in the
sprints.
The Newark race has made Cory
and Cavanagh as short-hour six-day
riders, and they will probably be fac
tors In all of the races hereafter
Spears Is greatly pleased with his rid
ing, and says he is ready for all six
day races, providing the tracks are no
smaller than the one in the armory.
Old Bob Walthour has ridden won
derfully we'll in this race and he will
be factor in the finish tonight. Bob
sprinted for more primes" than any
other rider and has done more riding
than any man in the race, yet he Is
as strong as bear" now.
Whether the cyclists gain a lap on
their merits or otherwise the crowd
seems to be content in the fact that
it saw a lap gained. Last night the
armory was In an uproar when Harry
Kaiser jumped away and Clarence
Carman completed the distance nee
essary to make up the lap. Kaiser
and Carman were not going so very
fast. After a lap or two mono of
the riders would chase the pair, but
those present appeared satisfied they
had seen a lap gained.
Francisco Verri is a popular boy in
the race and many would like to see
him In the final sprint tonight. Joe
Fogler, his partner, will not rest con-
tent until the team Is on even terms
with the leaders, and 1t is expected
that the war" will be continued this
afternoon and during the early part
of the night. Verri is fast and had
,Fogler relieved him properly last
night the team would have probably
gained q lap. Fogler went with the
field instead of waiting to pick up
his partner.
One of the reasons that the Dupuy
and Linart team is up with the lead
ers is the fact that Dupuy is quick
to get away from the field, and under
the conditions last night everything
fba ne faU0r.
