man win.
Goullet and Clark are very evenly
matched and the one who displays
the better generalship will likely win
/ On out-and-out speed. Clark seems
u have a shade. but Goullet has al
ways shown better judgment in his
races than has Jackie. 1t should be
a very tight fit between them tonight,
but Clark should be the fresher of the
two, as Goullet had a tough three
heat match race with Walter Rutt at
Boston last night which was won
by "Goullie" in the second and third
heats, after Rutt had captured the
first heat Goullet. however has
proved that he is a little gamester.
and it isn't likely that he will find
any excuses to duck out of the match
with Clark after having gained such
wide renown by defeating Worlds
Champion Rutt.
o
certain to be close in every heat and,
of course, there will be the usual COM
plant from the grand stand judges"
However, the regular judges seem TO
be quite able to pick the winners. and
if they make a mistake once in
while they are no worse than the rest
of US mortals. Much of the sue
cess and fairness of the race
will be up to Referee Ross. He
is the king He should warn Gouller
and Clark beforehand and he should
fine them heavily if they offend in
the race. Clark has a habit of fore
ing an opponent off on the fiat when
he is going by and Goullet has a few
tricks of his own. The heat of the
Grand Prize, in which Goullet defeat
ed Clark was a rough one, and Goul-
let, after being pinched by Jackie,
took his hand off his handlebar and
pushed Clark away from him. If
there is any of that rough stuff to-
night, the referee will make a hit
with the fans and a name for himself
by fining the offender or the offenders
$50. You may take away heats and
you may take away a race, but when
you take away $50 in cold cash. you
are making an impression that is
sure to be remembered for some time.
C
Goullets victory over Rutt at Bos-
ton is a feather in his cap, and if
he should defeat Clark at the Yelo-
drome tonight he would be in line for
a match race with Champion Kramer.
That's what Goullet, l understand, is
after He really thinks he has a rare
chance with Kramer if he is fit. He
said he was awfully tired in the
Grand Prize final after the first heat,
but he declared that he had so much
speed in the first heat that Kramer
couldn't beat him nohow.

Frank Cavanagh is the boy that the
fans are interested in nowadays. His
wonderful flights of speed in his
match race against Alfred Grenda,
and his defeat of Clark, have given
him great prestige around here. He
is a Newark boy, in the first place,
and ne is also an American, and all
of US, naturally would like to see an
American fill Kramer's shoes when
that time comes. Just now Cavanagh
looks to be the man. If he has it in
him it will be developed, for General
Manager MacFarland says Frank will
be given every opportunity in the
world to make good.
o
Cavanagh, strange to say, is be-
ginning to realize he is somebody in
the bike game, and he is beginning to
discover that to the big fellow goes the
big money Manager mcfarland has
talked to Frank about the great flu
ture in store for him if he would only
get right down to business, train hard
and do his best in the races. Cava-
nagh, the riders will tell you, has
been pulling" Clark and anybody
else who happens to ask him for a
helping hand in the races. In that
way he has been sacrificing his own
chances, and that is why he hasn't
been so very prominent in the game.
Despite himself, though, now and
then he has shown rare flights of
speed until finally he astounded the
natives by his wonderful rides in the
race with Grenda. That also woke
him up, and, with MacFarland's ad-
vice, Cavanagh is going to be a regu-
lar fellow and out for himself in the
bike game from now on. He has
been helping to make stars for about
two years; now is going out to break
! them.
! Cavanagh, out for himself, right
| away he gets chockful of confidence.
In my presence yesterday he asked
Manager MacFarland to give him a
match with Walter Rutt.
why pick out Rutt?" MacFarland
queried, with a wink at me.
"Oh, don't know" Cavanagh re-
piled in dead earnestness. "Why,
feel that can defeat Rutt."
Funny thing, MacFarland had al
ready decided to put Cayanagh or
with Rutt and had selected next Sun.
