Had Bill Bailey used the right sort
of Judgment he could have made tue
final of the Strangers Prize yester-
day. Bill waited too long and let
Grenda ride his own race, with the
result that Grenda won. Bailey had
more speed than Grenda.
Clark had a chip on his shoulder
when he lined up in the heat with
Moretti. and the Italian sure did
knock it off Now they are both so
shy Moretti may be rough in his
riding. but Clark is not the cleanest
rider in the world. Jackie can
switch" and bore" and do all kinds
of stuff about as cleverly as the rest
of them The referee and not the
riders is the one to stop this sort OF
work.
Spears took his hand off the bars
to push Anderson out of the way i'm
the fourth heat of the Strangers

push Anderson was not there. ANDY
was having a fine and fast sleigh
ride back of Rutt, who won the heat.

the riders, despite the fact that two
stars had pulled some of the squared
circle stuff. Kramer broke Charley
Canfields straw Kelly" when he
came out for the title race, and that
was not the only hat that was
broken.
Grassy Ryan did a serpentine
down the stretch in front of Thomas
for a five-dollar prize on the nine,
tenth mile of the championship,
but for his foul work he did not ct
the money. and neither did Thomas

hard to catch the leaders in this
