0RENDA TOO MUCH FOR EGG
Tall Tasmanian Catches I'm
paced King in Less Than
Three Miles.

Few of those who Ventured to pick
the winner of the Worlds Champion
ship Revenge selected Bob Spears as
the winner of that event. But Boob"
Spears, as he is called, did win it.
And while the spirit of revenge is
Numerically opposed to the Christian
principle of forgiving and forgetting,
Boob said that it was as sweet as
the bunch of flowers Abbey" Abe
nleste handed him after the race was
over Not only did Boob" revenge
his own defeat in the semi finals of
the championship seven days before,
but he also avenged the attack on
his pal, Jackie Clark, for in winning
the race he repulsed the forward
march of Cesar Moretti, who had,
earlier in the evening, defeated
Worlds Champion Frank Kramer
and Alfred Goullet. probably the
greatest triumph of the Italians
career.
Reverses Are Plentiful.
There We're many reverses, not only
In the Revenge, but in the other races
as well, due, no doubt, to the chill
night air that felt more like Novem-
Der than September. The defeat of
Kramer in his heat was indeed sur
prise. While it was surprising to see
the "Old Master defeated, it was a
greater surprise to see him defeated
so handily. The champion said his
age was against him, the cold night
air making him stiff and his action
slow, while it quickened the pulse of
the young bloods. But this assertion
on the part of the champion appeared
to lack truth when Norman Anderson,
of Odense, Denmark, who will be
forty-four years old in December.
won both handicap races, and, incl
dentally, walloped a whole flock of
young birds. A better alibi for the
"champer's" defeat would be that he
was looking for an easy ride In his
heat and was asleep at the switch.
With Goullet leading on the first
turn of the final lap in this heat,
Kramer in second position, Moretti
whizzed by, and that was the end OF
the heat. Kramer showed that he
had the goods, for when he went after
the Italian he made up yards of
ground, but Moretti's jump had given
him a commanding lead, and he was
the winner. Rutt won his heat with
great ease from Clark and Iver Law
son. Clark was leading at the bell,
but Rutt rode around the little fell
low without the least difficulty, and
carried Lawson with him. The Swede
came up on the German down the
back stretch, but fell back after get
ting on even terms entering the final
turn. Spears won the second heat,
after Bill Bailey and ALI Grenda had
fought for the lead for a full lap.
Spears won in the dash down the
homestretch, shooting by just as
Grer "a ran the Englishman off the
track and on to the flat Bailey was
beaten at the time, and Grendas foul
had no effect on the result.
spears's Spectacular Sprint.
After Rutt and Moretti had raced
each other to death in the final,
Spears came on and won by another
stretch sprint that was spectacular.
Rutt led for five laps in the final,
with Moretti in second position and
Spears bringing up the rear. A lap
and half from the finish. Rutt
started to unwind but he was not
going as fast as he should have trav-
eled at that stage. Around the Mum
avenue turn and down the home
stretch, the German and the Italian
fought for the lead. At the eighth
pole Moretti forged to the front and
the race was apparently over. But
suddenly the yellow sweater of Spears
attracted attention as he came with
lightning speed from three lengths,
the Italian in an amazing manner.
Moretti held his own around the
turn, but as the final stretch was
reached, Spears had him and sailed
by to victory. Moretti fought every
inch. of the way and was beaten by
very small margin. 1t was good
race and there was not a sign of
teaming or foul riding. Spears's VIC
tory was well received and the rather
slim crowd gave him quite an ova-
ton.
Grenda Is Victor Over Egg.
Oscar Egg, of Switzerland, the I'M
paced king, was defeated by Grenda
in the pursuit race, which was one
of the headliners on the card. The
newcomer was extended a flattering
reception when he came on the track
looking like champion from head TO
foot. His defeat was unexpected, but
no one seemed to care, for it gave
everyone an opportunity for emitting
bit of wit. Had Egg won, Doc
Fisher, the track surgeon, could not
have remarked that Grenda was
fine egg beaten, or could that chap
in the press stand have said "hes a
bad egg If there is any person who
can prove that he or she did not
make pun on Egg last night, they
will be given q ticket to the worlds
series between the Pittsburgh Pirates
and the Cleveland Maps.
When Grenda caught Egg after
less than three miles 1t was believed
that something was wrong with him.
In reply to question as to his con-
dition, Egg said there was no life
in him. This led his interviewer to
believe that he was perfectly good
Egg, but he followed that statement
by saying that he was stale. There
is nothing worse than a stale Egg.
McDougaII's Record Ride.
The performance that brought the
blood to circulating in the veins of
the trapped fans was Donald Me-
Douglas record breaking ride In his
heat of the -third-mile handicap.
The ex-champion rode as fine a race
as he ever rode in his life, and
clipped three-fifths of second off
the former mark established by him
self at the same track over a year
ago. Not only did McDougall break
the amateur mark, but the profess
sional record as well. Whatever
chance he had of winning the final,
which was not as fast as his heat,
was killed by the foul and reckless
