| Paris six-day grind that he can take
the gaff," when he not only went
through that terrific grind, but de-
feated the speedy Goullet at the
finish. Hourlier it is true, had many
things in his favor at sprinting time,
although Goullet would have had
about the same odds IL the French
| didn't have in Engle a rider who
made Joe Fogler look like minor
Lacquer of the commonest type when
1t came to roughing. However, Hour
| lier beat Goullet, and he may be able
| to beat Goullet when both are right
and there is a free field and no favors,
with both men on the track alone.

Jackie Clark will always point with
| pride, no doubt, to his victory over
! Hourlier in a sprint match race just
| previous to the Paris six-day grind
Neither Clark nor Hourlier was fit
| for the race, and Clark won, accord
| ing to all reports, both from friends
| and rivals, on a fluke. Perhaps
| Jackie himself will not admit the
| truth of this statement, but those
| who witnessed the race and who are
| fair in their opinions say that Clark
was lucky boy and that no ona
| knows it better than does Jackie. Be
| that as 1t may, Clark beat Hourlier,
F., fiuke or no fiuke, and we will take it
for granted that Jackie is the French
mans master when he duplicates the
| trick over here. If Clark can defeat
/ Hourlier at all, he should be able to
| do it at the Velodrome with much
/ greater ease than anywhere else Coz
] ditions will be in his favor, and he
| should be in great shape by the time
| the Frenchman arrives. Really, it is
my opinion that the Clark Hourlier
matches this summer will eclipse in
/ point of interest and in point of at
tendance even the matches in which
champion Kramer is to take part.
Clark. despite the efforts of his false
friends to put him lin bad" with the
cycling public and the cycling riders,
is still popular; but he will surely
lose his prestige unless he throws off
his swaddling clothes and acts the
part of a real man.

Abel kiviat defeated all the cracks,

Take my advice and keep away
from Weinert. He's the coming man
The only one around here who has
a chance with weinert Is Percy

very business-like answer comes
from a friend of Phil Krug the
amateur boxing champion, to the
letter of an admirer of belmont. The
communication states that Krug has
already sent in his entry for the next
Turner tourney, so all belmont will
have to do is to come forward with
his entry. The Krug letter follows:
]. p. NJ:
l noticed in your Columns the other
night that an admirer of belmont
would like the object of his praise
to meet Krug, in the 110-pound class
next month at the National Turn
verein. why didn't belmont, the
world beater, as his admirer calls
him. enter the 10s-pound class in the
recent state championship tourna-
ment, in which Krug was returned
winner? 1 am a close friend of
