Newark bike fans will have their
first opportunity to see Oscar Egg
the worlds unpaced record holder, III
action at the Velodrome tonight. This
great Swiss rider comes here to meet
ell the best men in the game in
tandem-p paced and pursuit races. His
first try will be hard one, for Man.
ager mcfarland has stacked him
up against ALI Grenda, the "Old
Hoss' of the game. Originally Pete
Drobach was scheduled to meet Egg,
but Drobach isn't feeling very well,
and besides MacFarland felt as III
Grenda would give Egg better
match. IF Egg wins, which is likely.
the Swiss will be given long. hard
race next Sunday. On that occasion
he will be matched against
Joe Fogler and Norman Han
sen. Egg is said to be in
fine condition for these matches, and
he is confident of winning. In Grenda
he will find gamester who will take
lot of beating.

The paced race is not supposed to
be the best race on the card tonight,
although General Mcfarland pre-
sents it as his feature. The race that
should furnish the most thrills is the
Worlds Derby Championship Re-
venge. This Is the race that drew
the big crowds and furnished such
great excitement, and mcfarland is
giving it to the fans again, in even a
better way. He has arranged the
heats SO that ALI Goullet will be given
another opportunity to show whether
he was fairly beaten in the final heat
last Sunday. and he will have to meet
the same men-Frank Kramer and
Cesar Moretti-who Won over him
then. That heat will be some heat,
and there will be a desperate struggle
for position, as well as to get home
first. There is no good reason to see
why Kramer should not win, unless
he is mighty unlucky, but Goullet is
better man than Moretti. and he
should be the dangerous man for
Kramer to beat.
o
The other two Derby heats will be
different. Walter Rutt, Jackie Clark
and liver Lawson will clash in the
second heat, and Bill Bailey, ALE
Grenda and Bob Spears will meet
In the third heat While 1t looks as
If Rutt would win over Clark and
Lawson, Jackie showed such a burst
of speed in the Strangers Prize on
Labor Day that 1t would not be much
of n surprise If Clark were to win.
Rutt, though. is always a great con-
tender and he is generally safe to
would be considered the favorite, but
1t may be that Spears will win It, If
the race Is ridden to suit Spears he
should be first home, for he has a
jump up the stretch that neither
Grenda nor Bailey can stand off IL
they are the least bit tired As the
heats are arranged it is probable
that those in the final will be Kram-
er, Rutt and Spears, and the even
tual winner should be Kramer. OF
course, there may be an upset all
around. with Goullet, Clark and
Bailey in the final. but this isn't very
likely.

General mcfarland has studied
out another big race, the first part of
which will be run next Sunday, and
the final on the Sunday following
He has named it "The Test" and
he expects 1t to produce the most
formidable opponent for Champion
Kramer. MacFarland has taken the
nine best riders at the Velodrome and
has arranged them into nine heats,
with three men in a heat. The out
come will be figured on points and
the winner will meet Kramer in an
individual match in the best two out
of three heats. This race is sure to
create wide interest, especially the
way the heats have been arranged.
