let SIdILeu n sprint That eventually
wound up with eight teams losing a
lap. During this entire Jam" only
two teams did any real work. These
were the Goullet- Grenda and Moran
Mcnamara pairs. They did all the
sprinting, the others simply follow
ing pace When Goullet got under
way Clark was following him. After
two hot laps of fast pace Goullet
turn. but Jackie refused. Then Me-
Namara set sail, followed by Goul-
let. Grenda came on as a relief. but
the big Fellow" got hard fall The
bell wasn't sounded and Goullet came
out again. Moran relieved Nc
Namara, and Jimmy set terrific
pace. Grenda came on and he tore
away from the field in great style.
Mcnamara brought the field up, and
Goullet, who relieved Grenda, was
soon on his way. tt was a great
Jam and there We're tired riders
galore spread out around the track.
o
After the big sprint was over it was
announced that nine teams had been
Tapped, including the Walthour- Hal
stead pair. Later on it was said that
Walthour and Halstead had not been
Tapped, but had simply made a poor
pickup. Thus, after a conference of
the board of referees, the team was
fined SIS and the lap restored Ac-
cording to those who ought to know
the decision was a just one. Both
Walthour and Halstead are riding
well and they are being picked among
the first five at the finish.

During the jam it was very APP
parent that some of the stars were
tickled almost to death to be able to
hang on. Grenda and Mcnamara
did the best work, but Goullet and
Moran were right there at all stages.
Fogler, the fox. and Hill just butted
their way into good position, and
Root and Clark were always well up1
with the leaders. 1t was very notice
able, however that these men
weren't anxious to set any pace.
Kaiser and Cameron rode we'll and
Kaiser looks like a find" He is
aggressive, and has the speed, and |
he would be out there doing lot of
mixing if Villa Cameron would |
let him. Kaiser may not be able to
stand the strain all week, but UP to |
date he is a little bear.
@
Luck plays a big part in six-day |
races. But for a little good fortune
Clark and Root would now be a lap |
behind. This has to do with the
big Jam of yesterday morning, |
which occurred at 1880 o'clock. Root /,
was on the track at the time. and |
Clark was downstairs in his training |
quarters. AS soon as the sprint |
started, a camp follower was dis
patched for Clark, but Jackie was
told not to hurry as there wasn't any
danger. AS matters turned out there
was all kinds of danger Root rode
and rode until he became exhausted,
and then he rode off the track onto
the fiat and was Tapped. Eddie said
he had soft tire" and -he got
away with il, but really he
was ridden stiff" and through bad
Clark was not sene out |
to relieve him. BY the way, CLARK
and Root are riding well. Clark is
doing much better than expected. His
was said to be low before he
went into the race, but he is in bet
ter condition now. Verri and Egg
are also doing we'll and should be
among the contenders. The best
teams in the race lave Goullet and
Grenda and Moran and Mcnamara
for partners.
Newark football fans are much in
terested in the game between Rutgers
and Washington and Jefferson to be
played at the Polo Grounds on the
2Sti of this month. Rutgers won
friends here when she won from
Tufts at wiedenmayer's Park not long
ago, and they will follow the team
