II is all but settled that Washing
ton will get the Army Navy football
game next season. All that is re-
quired now is for Congress to give
permission to use the Polo Field, and
this win be done. it is said, the very
first time there is a quorum present.
Thus we will have to forego the pleas
ure OF seeing this big grdiron battle
on the Polo Grounds. where it was
enjoyed 50 much last year.
@
In order to play the Army Navy
game in Washington. il win be neees-
sary to erect a tremendous stand. and
this is to be done by P. A. McHugh.
the famous contractor. who has erect
ed nearly, IL not quite ALL the large
improvised stadiums in this country.
1t is a speciality with Mr.. McHugh to
build stands of the capacity of 10000
or more. and he will take the contract
in jiffy. and he win do the work in
hurry Mr. McIIugh stands alone in
his profession, yet he is the most I'M
assuming man you could meet in a
days walk. He was at the bicycle
races at the Velodrome yesterday, ac-
companied by his nephew. Thomas J.
McHugh, of this city Years ago the
contractor was a bike bug as he
referred to himself, and he never used
to miss a race meet in the days of
Arthur Zimmerman, whom he knew
very well. Mr.. McHugh was pre-
scented to Champion Frank L. Kramer
and in accepting the introduction the
contractor said to his nephew: Say,
Tom. this is the young man we we're
roofing for in the races, isn't it?' MIR.
McHugh came to Newark to visit his
relatives and he went to the Veto
drome to observe the construction of
the stands there. He evidently
thought they were much larger than
they are, but it was in the contour OF
the structure he was most interested.
G
Contractor McHugh said the stands

Alfred Goullet still holds his great
acing form and it will take a Cham
lion Kramer at his best to give him
,attle as long as he keeps on riding
he way he is now Goullet is simply
lying. and his closest friends feel
hat he cannot maintain his wonder
nj speed for any great length of time.
These friends also say that Goullet
While he is in his present great form
hould be given an individual match
With Kramer, and / would like to
econd the motion. Such a match
would attract wide attention. Krs-
uer is riding well enough to go to
uch battle, and from what l hear
ioullet is anxious to meet Big
steve If that is so, Goullet should
,e accommodated, but as fast as he
$ sprinting. he will find that Kramer
Will have something on him when it
.omes right down to an individual /
struggle. Another thing. Goullet will /
lot be so good if he is beaten by .
Kramer. 1t will take away much of /
his confidence, and the strain and 1
worry leading UP to the match will /
lot do any good Goullet, if he is a .
sensible fellow, will steer clear of /
he old champion. He will do better /
n the long run. Kramer is not |
lverse to a match with Goullet, but |
General mcfarland has so many big |
ards in preparation that he doesn't
want to have Kramer and Goullet |
meet at this time. However, there is
a public clamor for the race, and why
lot give the fans what they want?

Goailet, by the way, gave US q dis
play Of his speed, his strength and his
sameness in the tandem paced race
He won and he won like
the wonderful little rider he is. He
beat Walter Rutt, the champion of
the world. and he beat Frank Kramer,
the champion of America, Rutt he
defeated by half a length at the finish,
but Kramer retired from the race at
