AUSTRALIAN cYCLiST WHO
two out of three heats and he won
them in commanding style. In the
first heat Moretti led the way, and
his margin at the finish was very
small Grenda rode the best match
race of his career. Like the other
boys who have watched Kramer for
years, Grenda has learned a lot. He
showed all his fine points against
Moretti, who was said not to be feel
ing any too we'll The fact is, Moret-
ii is suffering from too much broth
erly hospitality. and he will not be
able to beat men like Grenda and
keep up. He was beaten last night
in the fairest and squarest match
race ridden at the Velodrome this
year. There wasn't a switch and
there wasn't any foul riding. In the
third heat Moretti Rugged the pole
so close that his pedal hit the track
twice and he bumped into Grenda.
1t was simply an accident, though,
| and the best man won.

Arthur Ross, the referee, made his
presence felt last night. and he is to
be congratulated for his good work.
He disqualified Rutt in the first semi
| final of the championship and he
fined him s25 besides. The punish
ment was melted out as a result OF
Rutt's transgression of the rules

! ing the pole. Rutt came through on
the fiat and won the heat. Ross

he also made the job a good one by
adding fine of SIS. Rutt seemed to
| take his punishment in good spirits
/ He said he was satisfied If the others
would be treated the same way. The

going to play any favorites. Afterwaro
Rutt declared it was the second time
he had ever been fined in his fourteen
years on bike track, and he shook
his left hand as if his fingers were
burning. When he was fined before
the fine was RENTED after he had
been on his good behavious for foul

Ross was very good last night and
he should keep up his work A few
more disqualification and a few s2i
fines will bring the riders to thei1
senses. Only, Ross must not over.
look any foul riding on the part of the
"petted calves" His decisions last
night were just and the spectators
who went to see fair and square rae.
ing applauded him. Rutt was not tn,
only one to suffer. Ross disqualified
rough little Tommy Smith for deliber.

teur championship. and he set hin
down for one week. In the five-mil,
amateur handicap Hanley refused t.
set pace and he was suspended for {
week. 1t was a big night at the velo

racing was simply great. Genera
Mcfarland is giving the fans som,
dandy programs, and he has another
good one up his sleeve, he tells me, fol

Moretti another chance with Grenda
The Italian used 10S gear and h,
couldn't do himself justice. He is bet
