BILL BAILEY NEAR
TO OLD-T|ME FORM
English Cyclist Showed Flash OF
Real Ability in Semi
Final Heat.

Bill Bailey showed a flash of the
real Bailey last night, and the rail
birds" were not far off when they
picked him as a likely winner. The
decision giving the semi final to
Moretti was of the hair-line order
1t was really a wonderful ride, con-
sidering the time Bailey had been
here and the hardships he endured
on his trip to America. 1t looks as
though the sad birds" have pulled
another bone" The "sad birds ex-
pressed the opinion that the English
champion could not beat Harry
Kaiser, the amateur. But he almost
beat Moretti, who had beaten Grenda
the night previous. and he also beat
Clark, who was third in the semi
final. Bill Bailey looks like pretty
fair sort of bike rider.
Kramer said after the races that he
did not know that Grenda was coming
I'D on the outside when he ran hlgh
on the bank starting the last lap OF
his semi final Some fans in the
crowd thought it was deliberate
foul. but they were wrong. Kramer
does not have to resort to foul riding
tn beat Grenda in French-style race

There was one very pleasing feature
to the semi-fnal in the professional
derby in the fact that there was not
sign of teaming. Moretti gave
Clark a good roughing in their semi
final. which was the anly unpleasant
feature of the semis.
II looked as though Madden and
Hanley were working together In
their semi-final, but if they were 1t
did them no good, for McDougall was
too fast and too strong for them ana
won handily.
It is unfortunate that Mcnamara is
out of the game with broken collar
hone. He was to be matched with
Oscar Egg and Jimmy Moran later In
the season. There was mighty
crash in the spill that put Mcnamara
out of the game, eight riders going
down in a heap. Spears was pauly
shaken Menus Bedell was cut over
his right eve and Jokus was badly
qashed on his head and face. Three
out of the twelve starters in the race
were left on the track after the SPILL
Kramer would have had to be
mounted in a motorcycle to have
beaten Goullet in the teams race Tor
the Holt Cup. Clark and Grenda had
pulled Goullet so far and so fast, even
Goullet was almost baked TO turn
and Cavanagh had made the going
nrettv fast before the Australia
made their attack.
After the teams match Goullet said
he was never so tired in his life.
.HThat was some pull Jackie and All
gave me, and if Kramer was not
wonder he would have been shaken
before the finish" remarked "Goul-
lie."
Rutt is a good loser. He was
greatly disappointed after being
beaten in his semi-fnal by Goullet,
but he smiled as he put on his robe
and walked away after the nnlsh.
Rutt certainly tried nara 10 WIN anu
fought every inch of the way to the
tape.
Earl Adams, the colored rider, is
up to Major Taylor's old tricks OF
sneaking through on the pole. Adams
has further emulated his famous
predecessor by securing the number
10 as his racing number.
Tommy Smith, who is in the final
of the amateur derby, is now riding
under the colors of the New York
Athletic Club.
Doctor Fisher. the track surgeon,
thought that the record for casual
ties would be broken when they
started to go down like tenpins in
the professional handicap. The Doc
sewed and bound and bandaged sew
enteen of the wounded last night. but
his record for one meet is tu'e-tv-five.
Jackie Clark said after the meet
last night that he was going to hang
his car on lamp-post until the close
of the racing season. Jackie rode well
last night and is greatly encouraged.
