BILL BAILEY, WHO is COMING TO NEWARK TOWN

he went to Italy and upheld his
crown for the third consecutive time.
The heat at Rome tired him out to
such an extent that he rested for a
while in London, combining himself
to the quarter-mile British cham
pionship which he won with ease.
Paris was his next stop, with the re-
suit that he took the Grand Prix for
the second time. Last year Bailey
took the one-mile English champion
ship, but refused to compete in the
other races, as the track was not
banked and was therefore unsafe,
At Paris, he won the Grand Prix for
the third time, but was unable to
make arrangements to compete in the
worlds championship races. He won
the Grand Prix and the worlds
championship the next year, making
this his fourth win in each event.
@
The hfty-mile race at the Velo-
drome tonight may bring back to
earth one Jackie Clark, who has
been missing in the various con-
tests of speed for some time past.
Clark, as racing man, has not been
doing himself justice, and If he
doesn't wake up right away he may
find himself lost in the shuttle. Once
the idol of the fans, Clark's popu-
larity is waning. 1t isn't because
he isn't the same little Jackie of
old, but because he has been mis-
guided by few false friends. Clark
can still be Clark. but he will have
to do it right away.
@
Clark isn't doing the right thing by
himself and he isn't giving himself
fair show. He can do much better
than he is, and he can win races, il he
win only try. He has the speed and
the strength and he is not short Of
racing brains, either. All he wants is
for some one to tell him to Come on,
| Jacket! and he will come on and win.
He has been cheating himself now for
a long while, and it is time for him to
| quit. He can race and he can win
and the time for him to show 1t is to-
night in the gruelling long distance
grind. He has George Cameron for a
partner, and the way the other riders
are paired up Jackie is about as well
off as the next one. Clark can win
,this race tonight. Now, let us see him
do 1t.

There are seventeen teams in the
big race, and on the form Kramer and
Goullet are showing their teams are
the favorites, with Rutt and Ander-
son as partners good third choice
On form Clark doesn't figure little
bit, and several of the boys even gave

The Davis tennis cup matches are
near at hand and even in these dull
times and war times the interest is
particularly keen. 1t is believed that
more than 1900 persons will wit
ness the contests on each Of the three
days set apart for the matches. The
opening battles will be waged to-
morrow and these will be followed
by contests on Friday and Saturday.
G
The outcome of the matches is be-
ing freely discussed from every an
gle, and there is great uncertainty as
to which side will win. 1t is be-
| lieved that the Americans have a
shade, in that they are likely to win
/ all four of the single contests and
they are not beaten by any means in
| the doubles. 1t so happened that
the draw turned out as predicted in
these columns yesterday. In the first
match tomorrow Anthony +. Wild
ing will meet r. Norris williams
and this is to be followed by the
match between Maurice Mclaughlin
our hope, and Norman Brookes, the
Australasians' best. Then on Friday
Wilding will play Mclaughlin and
Williams will meet Brookes. These
matches will begin at o'clock SHARP
daily. The doubles are carded foi

starting hour.
