Kaiser Prove. Worth.

There will be no change in the for
nation of the twelve teams sched-
uled to compete in the race. All of
he riders, with the exception of Joe
kopsky, are satisfied with their team
mates, and after the preliminary
slSirmishes of Saturday night tho
teams appear to be pretty well bal
anced. Harry Kaiser showed that he
is about as good as any of the pros
on a small track by beating Joe
Fogler, Fred Hill, Bob Walthour and
other pro" veterans, and some of
ne other riders showed to advantage
in the sprint races. Victor Linart,
the Belgian, looks good as a plugger,
and Clarence Carman and Gus Wohl-
rab displayed qualities that should
make them interesting rivals to some
of the six day stars this week.
Gouliet in Fine Form.
BY defeating Champion Kramer N
the big match race, ALI Goullet
showed that he is in wonderful form,
and he displayed no signs OF the ILL
ness that he complained of a week
ago. He is as fit as he ever was, and
he and Hill will go to the post
strong favorites. They may not win
The bike race, but they will take a
whole lot of beating. They are sure
iy the zone best bet' in the race.
Lawson Very Good.
Lawson was very good Saturday
night, and had he judged his sprint
a little better he would have beaten
Champion Kramer. AS 1t was, he
came close to shutting Kramer out
of the deciding heat of the interna-
iional match. Lawson is in great
form, and he and Root make team
hat ranks as well as any other COM
bination in the contest. Verri and
Fogler both showed form, even
hough they were beaten in their
races at the sprint meet. Verri ap-
peared to be a little awkward on the
rack, which kept him from making
a better showing.
Kaiser and Cameron Strong Contenders.
on the form shown by Kaiser and
Cameron in the spirits Saturday
night, combined with the fact that
the clever Morey Gordon is going to
pilot them through this six-day race,
makes them loom up very strong now
as contenders. Kaiser rode astonish-
ingly well in the five-mile open,
when he won aILeT uSuLlllS oil Alli
and Fogler who looked as though
they were leaning against the ex-
champion amateur. If they were
teaming, then they must feel ashamed
Of themselves for being beaten by an
amateur, who had no ! assistance
whatever But, as a matter of fact,
Kaiser rode so well, showing so much
speed and such great judgment, there
is no disgrace attached to Fogler
defeat. Kaiser may be rocky pro,
but he has got about ninety per cent.
Of the vets in the cash prize class
dashed to the mast right now. Cam
eron and Kaiser are as good as Fog
Ter and Verri, as team, and they
rank up with Lawson and Root.
waIthour Shows to Advantage.
Old Bob Walthour showed some
sprinting ability in the short races.
in the old days Bob was a star
Splinter, and handed it to Champion
Kramer on more than one occasion,
but his sprint has lost it's snap. At
that, Bob showed to better advantage
than some regular sprinters Satur-
day night. He got In the money, while
some good riders were shut out. Wal
hours partner, Frank Cavanagh. did
not ride in the sprint races. He is
evidently saving all he has for the
six-day race.
