sets sail for home. He is to meet
Alt Grenda Wednesday night and
then, he says, he will meet Champion
Kramer Later on he will race
against Walter Rutt, ALT Goullet and
Jackie Clark. If Moretti is able TO
win majority of his races he will
prove big card for the Velodrome.
On the Fourth there were couple
of thousand at least of his country
men present and they gave him a
royal greeting. In fact, Moretti
seems to have taken we'll with the
Velodrome crowd and his reception
In the main must have been very
pleasing to him. His own people are
perhaps too enthusiastic and they are
dragging him off to banquets too
often. Moretti goes, of course, but
he would do much better if his
friends would only allow him to train
and to visit in his own way. They
want him to win, and they should al
low him to attend strictly to his
training.

All. GoulIet is showing great form
these days, and he promises to make
runaway race as the leader of the
point table. On the Fourth at the
Velodrome Goullet was the fastest
man at the track. He beat Kramer
in his heat of the "Old Glory Chal-
lenge" team match, and he beat Rutt
in tho no
Goullet made a great ride in the ham
dicap and, although he sprinted for
more than a lap and a half, Kramer,
who was on his wheel, couldn't beat
him to the tape. Goullet, now that
he is in shape, is entitled to a return
match with Clark. When he met
Clark before, Goullet wasn't himself
at all, yet in the second heat there
was much doubt as to the winner, the
judges finally giving the decision to
the much-abused Clark
@
Kramer has nothing to fear in the
match races with Rutt or Clark, for
he beat the both of them Saturday
right at Brighton Beach. The Yankee
champion won the first two heats,
with Rutt second and Clark third in
both and Rutt won the third heat,
which should never have been ridden,
with Kramer second. In the after
noon Frank Kramer was very bad.
He couldn't get out of his own way
in the "Old Glory Challenge" event.
and Cavanagh, his partner, was just
as bad. After Steve had been beat
en- by Rutt and Lawson. who, by the
way, displayed some of his old-time
cunning, il he didn't quite have the
speed, and by Goullet and Grenda, he
made up his mind he had been beaten
for the last time that day, so when
Clark and Pye assumed to take him
into camp why "Old Steve" just re-
beled and wouldn't have it. Kramer
won this heat and incidentally the
judge was tested for the
first time.

The Kramer Clark finish was close,
the champion getting the verdict by
about three inches. The new device
for registering the finish was true to
the dot. On the paper tape Kramer,
on the pole, was shown to be in the
lead by about a sixteenth of an inch. |
This figured out, amounted to about |
three inches. The affair is simple
and it is said to be absolutely accu-
rate. In the first test it was right in
any event, for Kramer was first over
the tape. The contrivance is the idea
of Inglis NJ. Uppercu and is operated
by electricity. AS the riders flash over
strips of brass, arranged into zones,
their relative positions are registered
on piece of paper in the judges
stand. This white paper is on a roll,
and is put in motion. and If the speed
could be gagged the exact distance
between the riders would be shown.
AS it is, only a fractional part of the
distance is produced on the paper, but
the actual distance may be figured out
by simple multiplication.

Though the apparatus proved
success in every way on the Fourth,
it was not used yesterday and it viii
only be used, General MacFarland
says, on special occasions and for big
match races. The machine is an ex-
pensive one and shows to what ex-
tent the Velodrome promoters will
go to give their patrons everything
possible to make the racing success
full and honest. They are even talk
