Jackie Clark Defeats 'Flourlier, the Great
French Sprinter, in Match Race
Oh Paris Indoor Track.

a special CaDle TO the newark Eve
ming Star from Paris brings some in
teresting news of the doings of the
cyclists abroad. Jackie Clark, in a
match race against Hourlier, the
great French sprinter, carried off the
honors of the race meet at the Velo-
drome D'Hiver yesterday by winning
the second and third heats, after los
ing the first heat. In the first heat,
the cable says, Hourlier won rather
handily, but Clark came back in the
second heat with a victory, and he
also won the third heat, although
Hourlier. fell near the finish in the
final heat. Clark is training hard and
riding well, the cable says, and he has
made a substantial hit by his victory
over Hourlier, who, while not in very
excellent condition just at present, Is
riding very well, indeed.

After Clark had beaten Hourlier,
there was a cry for a match between
Jackie and Frank L. Kramer, the
American champion, who is in Paris.
The promoters are anxious to put on
the race, but Kramer's engagements
and the engagements of Clark also
may interfere with such an event
@
The Newark fans will be rather sur
prised to learn that Joe Fogler and
Alfred Grenda were beaten in a team
match race by Lapize and Engel at
the D'Hiver meet yesterday. The
foreigners won in two straight heats
in a race that was fast and paced by
tandems. At the same meet Lloyd
Thomas, the little American cyclist
who is being coached by Floyd Mac
Farland to follow pace, was defeated
by Fosser, a foreigner. The cable
says that Thomas rode well for be-
ginner and that big crowd turned
out to see the races.
o
Another big program of races will
be held at the Velodrome D'Hiver
next Sunday and a team match race
will be the feature of the card.
Jackie Clark and Joe Fogler will be
partners, as will Eddie Root and AL
fred Grenda. Opposed to these two
aggregations will be Dupre and Pou-
lain and Pouchois and Engel These
team matches are considered great
races in Europe, and the fans over
there prefer them to almost any other
kind of a sprint affair. Clark and
Fogler are the favorites for the race.
@
1t has been definitely settled, ac-
cording to the private cablegram to
the Evening Star, received this morn
ing, that Alfred Goullet and Alfred
Grenda will ride as teammates in the
Paris six-day race. That was the
plan when the boys left here, but it
was feared that the Paris promoters
might insist on Goullet riding with
Fogler, the pair which won the race.
But it seems not, for the Paris papers
are picking Goullet and Grenda to
win the race, and the Australians
have been made big favorites in the
betting. Clark and Root are also
well liked and are second choices.
G
A motor-paced race which is at
tracing great attention has been ar
ranged between Bobby Walthour, the
American, and Paul Guignard, the
Frenchman. The men will race at
the Velodrome D'IIiver next Sunday
afternoon, and there is considerable
speculation on the outcome.
g
The Paris six-day race, The Stars
private cable states, promises to be
a big winner in every way. The list
of teams this year is much better
than last year, when Goullet and Fog
Ter won, but still Goullet and his part
ner, Grenda, are the favorites this
year. The entry of Walter Rutt, the
big German" who will team with
Vanhouwaert, has added considerable
enthusiasm to the grind, but it is the
opinion that Goullet at least will beat
enough to be on even terms for the
lead at the finish. The fans in Paris
will always remember Goullets ride
in the six-day race last year, when
he simply sailed away from that good
sprinter, Dupre. Clark and Root, OF
course, are looked upon as formidable
and Fogler and Moran are referred to
as "a grand team" by the French
papers.
