HiulhB In wonderful form at the,
Nelodrome last night, Jackie Clark,
the Australian Rocket" disposed of
Worlds Champion Walter Rutt in
straight heats in a match race. Clark
had speed and he was in possession
OF all the cunning that has marked
his best races, and he outgeneraled
as well as outrode the German title
holder. On the form he has displayed
IN his recent races the result was a
surprise, for Jackie has been an also
ran" for couple of weeks. But to
those who saw the Rocket in train
ing the two days before the race the
result was not unexpected. Clark's
victory was not as clean-cut as it
might have been. for he "snaked"
Rutt in the final lap of both heats,
which unquestionably interfered with
the German. There was so much snap
to Jaclie's sprint and he was so
strong it appeared as though it was
not necessary for him to employ such
tactics to win. But it seems as though
all the stars are riding that way now,
and they will probably continue to do
SO until the referee asserts his au-
thority and stops it with fines and
disqualitications.
Clark "Squeezes" Rutt.
in the first heat Clark went off at
the start at a fast clip and was in
tent on riding from the front. He
held the lead throughout, retaining
the front position by squeezing Rutt
when the latter tried to come through
on the pole lap and a half from the
finish. When Jackie saw Rutt COM
ing through on the pole he shot down
and forced the champion on to the
fiat. This made it necessary for Rutt
to back off and come around on the
outside. Clark waited for Rutt and
at the bell they were riding hard
with Clark holding the German on
his hip. Down the back stretch and
around the final turn Rutt came fast
and was on almost even terms With
the Rocket" but was unable to hold
the position, sitting up as the tape
was neared. Clark won by a full
wheels length.
Jackie Shows Great Speed.
Clarks best show of speed came
In the second heat when he jumped
by Rutt on the home stretch, start
Izeg the final lap. Rutt had taken
etf1eSsoad on the first turn by coming
off the Nbank with a rush and going
through on the pole. After gaining
the leads. Rutt made the fatal mis-
take of slowing and running up the
bank to take a look at his oppon-
ent. Jackie came from two lengths
back and sailed by Rutt at the bell
with an astonishing burst of speed
that greatly pleased his many ad-
mirers. Once in front, Jackie made
tracks for home and with the aid of
a little Shaking and a wide ride
down the stretch, he held the cham
pion off and won. Rutt put up
great ride in this heat and was
beaten by only a small margin. The
final eighth in this heat was twelve
seconds fiat, which is good time con-
sidering the course Jackie took.
Kramer Picks Live One.
Champion Kramer took all the
honors it was possible for him to
gather. He was second from scratch
lin the two-thirds-mile handicap ana
he won the five-mile open. In the
five-mile open Kramer got on ALT
Grenda's wheel at the start and he
never left it until the homestretch
of the final lap was reached when
he raced by the Tasmanian and on
to victory. Grenda was the strong
est rider in the race and his sprint
of two laps was one of the greatest
sprints ever witnessed at the Velo-
drome The giant carried Kramer
along at such a clip the field in the
they had about all they could do to
hang on. Clark was in second posi-
tion when Grenda started his long
sprint and had he not been caught
for a sleeper he might have been the
winner, for Cavanagh and Spears
separated 1.-The Rocket" from Gren-
da, Kramer, Rutt, John Bedell ana
Goullet, who followed in the order
named. The finish was one of the
H. fTda
seen at the track for many a day,
and blanket would have covered
Kramer, Grenda, Rutt, Bedell, Goul-
let and Clark as they dashed over
the tape. Grenda and Rutt rode
dead heat for second place, and John
BedeIl was fourth with Goullet fifth.
Goullet put up a great ride on the
outside and came from far IN the
rear on the final lap. clark also
rode a grand race after he got out
of a pocket and was fast gaining on
the leaders.
Sailing in the Handicap.
With the exception of Joe Fogler'
and George Cameron and Willie Co
burn. the two long markers in the
handicap final, all of the riders
stalled which allowed Cameron to
take a commanding lead and win the
race. Grenda, Goullet, Spears ana
Cayanagh refused to take any pace
and Kramer was so far in the rear
he was not in position to pace. Two
laps from the finish all of the back
men. who were grouped, swung up 10
the top of the track and Kramer
went through on the pole and took
the front position with Cameron and
Coburn fully 100 yards in advance:
Inst before the bell Kramer started
his sprint, and he shook off the other
. stars. Riding in his old handicap
Asoyfn. the champion made up at least
seventy-fiye yards on Cameron in the
final lap, but was unable to overhaul
him before the tape was reached. The
champion has not performed well In
handicap for some time and the fans
were pleased extending him great
ovation for his good ride. Grenda
was third and Goullet fourth.
Kaiser and Hanley Win.
In the amateur team match Harry
Kaiser, of New York, and Willie Han
ley. of San Francisco, defeated Cham
pion Donald McDougall and Gus
Wohlrab, of Jersey City, in straight
heats. 1t was a good match and both
heats were fought to the very end
with the better pair winning. Han
ley was the star in the match and
showed the best speed he has exhib-
