Clark. Both boys did Is 1-5 seconds.
Kramer was very good last night and
he rode well in the fifty-mile race.
His signals became crossed in this
race, however, and the champion was
not on the track when it came down
to the finish. He had been misin-
formed His scout told him that there
was still a mile and three laps to go
when 1t was only three laps from the
finish. Kramer felt very strong and
he wanted to do the sprinting. II he
had at the finish he would have been
second.
The big race was won by speers
and Cory, who on two occasions stole
away from the field and gained half
lap or more. 1t was clever work on
their part and they worked hard to
win, but Mr.. Gordon Walker, their
emissary, who did whole lot of pal
pable stalling, should be given his
full share of credit. Walkers work was
raw and toward the end of the race,
with Speers out in front, he delib-
erately raced up to the front and
stalled. He shared in the first prize.
as did others, only Walkers efforts
were SO glaring that it is surprising
Referee Ross didn't see them and
act accordingly. Walker, by the way,
was under suspension for his rough
stuff in the five-mile race last Sum
day but the punishment was lifted
and he was allowed to ride last
night. Walker showed his apprecia-
ton of Referee Ross's kindness by
deliberate and fragrant teaming. It
doesn't pay to be lenlent. The good
old rod is the thing that brings re-
suits

Although Spears and Cory would
never have won without the helm of
'Staller" Walker, the boys put up
such grand race that the fans gave
them liberal rounds of applause
throughout the race and accorded
them demonstration after the race.
They worked like Trojans to get
away and to keep away and they had
a lot of tired bicycle riders chasing
them. Though the stalling tactics
were very evident, the fans, almost
to a person, were pleased with the
race. 1t was what in this late day
we would call a "bear" although
some of the se1f-styled bears, prin-
cfpally General Villa Cameron.
were the punkiest kind of lambs.
Cameron. with Jackie Clark as a
partner, was going ito eat up the
track" He was bloomer. though,
and the "punks" put it all over him.
He did a lot of racing, but he was
running wild. For a fellow who has
been given credit of having brains,
Cameron was an awful disappoint-
ment.
ALI Grenda rode about as good a
race, DIS anybody; and he was first at
the finish, but as the race was de-
cided on points, Grenda secured only
second prize. Clark was riding well
last night and he showed a big i'm
over his previous starts.
He was in a few sprints and he was
second to Grenda at the finish. At
the twenty fifth mile Clark received
q bad fall and was carried to his
camp After a good rest he came out
and rode very strong-Jackie and
Cameron get third prize.
@
Goullet wasn't there last night. He
didn't have the speed and he said
afterward that he felt very tired. In
record trial he was "bobbing up and
down" and he looked to be going a
fast sixth, but he did only is 1-5 sec
onds. In the long race he made a
few gallant efforts, but he lacked the
speed. Rutt, as usual, rode con-
,sistent, honest race. The "Weltmeis-
ter" is always trying, but he isn't
any too lucky in getting a position.
