GOULLET DEFEATS KRAMER
IN THE EDDIE BALD STAKES

took the lead. Kaiser Immediately
gave battle and was even with the
champion as they raced into the
turnout of the homestretch. Around
this turn they raced on even terms,
out on the backstretch the Bronx
rider weakened and dropped back al
most a length. McDougall held this
advantage until the homestretch
when Kaiser came up on him about
two feet.
McDougall came back and won the
tNo-mlle open amateur, but Gus
Wohlrab was the best man in the
race, and the champion won by fol-
lowing the husky Jersey City rider
around the field and then nosing him
out at the tape. Wohlrab was Sec
ond, Kaiser third and Walter Schlee
fourth. This was McDougalPs first
victory this year.
Willie Hanley in Fine Form
Willie Hanley rode fine race from
scratch in the two third mile anna
teur handicap and won by a wide
margin, with Tommy Smith second,
John Drehr third and Alfred Lake
fourth.
Gohllet put up a wonderful ride in
tie three-mile professional handicap.
He was the lone scratch man, and
hattied almost the entire distance,
not only without assistance, but with
all the rest of the backmarkers re-
fusipg to help him to catch the lead
eTs
The handicaps wera big. and An
derson, Ray Eaton and Al Triehel
caught the back-field before the race
was fairly under way. When they
were caught the back-field, with the
exception of Gonllet and Grenda,
made no effort 10 pull away, appar-
emily content to hang on while the
two Australian stars did all the
work. A puncture put Grenda out
on the fifth lap, and then Goullet
was left to fight alone against big
odds. With an exhibition of game
ness seldom seen on a bike track,
Goullet set out to shake the limit
men and catch the middle markers,
who were grouped and setting a fast
pace fifty yards in advance. A jump,
followed by two laps of fast sprint
ing, shook off the three limit men,
but when Goullet swung up to allow
some other rider to do some pacing
the field slowed down again. Goullet
rode high on the bank and "bawled'
the '1oafers" for their tactics. Again
Goullet took the lead when no one
would come up and again he set a
heart breaking pace. His endurance
was wonderful.
A mile from the finish the riders
who had refused to swap pace earlier
in the race came to life and worked
like Trojans when the race was hope
lessly lost. Two laps from the fin
ish Goullet jumped again, and, free
ho fald or n
leaders one, but the task was too
much. 1t was a great sprint for a
rider to make after having worked
so hard for over two miles and a
half, and great applause greeted Goul-
let's efforts.
Frank Cory was the winner, with
Ray Eaton second, Norman Hansen
third, Joe Kopsky fourth and Goullet
fifth The time, 5m. As 4-5s., was fast,
and Goullet was wholly responsible
for the fast time.
Invitation "Pro" Race Exciting.
The two-mile invitation professional
was one of the best races of the
evening. It was fast and exciting
and there was continual shifting of
positions The time, 3m. SO 2-5s., was
remarkably fast for a race in which
there were no lap prizes or pace
maker Coming from nowhere, after
apparently beaten, Spears won by
many lengths, with Menus Bedell sec
ond. Norman Hansen third and
Walker fourth. When Spears started
his sprint on the backstretch Walker,
Bedell and Drobach had what ap-
peared to be a winning lead. The
