big STEVE IS STAR FOR yICTORS


OF Fogler finally got On again and
f hnlsned second. As an anchor man
+ / ogler was a huge success and ne
4 had the Antipodeans well anchored
before they got out of the harbor.
/ Goulleti the Australian anchor man,
never had chance, as he was IN the
rear and riding high for the full dis
lance, which pulled all the steam out
/ Of him before the finish. Cavanagfl
put Up fine ride and his speed COM
! pletely baked the Australians before
the start Of the final lap.
Encouraged by the fine showing
made IN the team race, Cavanagh
went out and won the big scratch race
in impressive style Percy Lawrence
/ jumped away at the gun and tried
| q runaway. The Californian led for
/ i've laps and then Cavanagh took
hier with the Bedells on his wheel
I and Spears and Lloyd Thomas in or
der with Kramer on Thomas and fol.
i lowing him. Grenda and Coulter verz
sewed in on the inside.
IN fact, Kramer, Goullet ana
/ Grenda were placed so badly no dis
play Of speed ever seen on 4 bike
track could bring them up to an adj
4 Vantageous position with cavanagIl
! sprinting at the rate he was going.
/ 1t did not appear as though CavanaEh
] could hold his sprint 70 the tape, but
/ he never wavered, and the Bedells
/ hung on to his wake like leeches,
swinging UP and down the track,
which prevented any attempt to come
/ up from behind. Cavanagh had all
the stars baked. and Fogler was tho
only one who gave him any sort OF a
/ battle.
The race illustrated how a good man
| out IN front can wallop a chan1uion
| by having two or three riders hang
/ ing on to his wheel, who can only
| hang without enough sprint to beat
MIN out at the finish. Had Kramer
| been on Cavanagh the ehampfor
would undoubtedly have won, but Il
was physical impossibility for the
latter to have come from sixth po-
| sition and win. Kramer realized this
and quit at the eighth pole Menus
Bedell was second with brother John
third and Fogler fourth

him with his elbow as the australian
came up with a rush on entering the
home stretch. Walker Showed his
old sprint and rode around half the
