Hard Task Ahead for Kramer
and cayanagh, the Yam
kee Entry.
BUSY TIME FOR THE FANS
| Varied Program, Including
Three Match Races, TO Be
Offered at velodrome.

Two big meets will be on tap for
Hhe bike fans at the Velodrome tomor-
BROW and Sunday. As there has not
been a meet for nine days the riders
are eager for some action, and the
fans are just as eager to see some
racing. When rain interfered with
the scheduled meet at the velodrome
.last night General MacFarland let
that card, which was originally billed
for last Sunday and then carried
over to Wednesday and Thursday, go
by the board. The only part of that
bill, which he declared was one of
tne best meets he has ever arranged,
mat will be carried over is the Cesar
Moretti-Joe Fogler match race.
The Old Glory Challenge.
: The Old Glory Challenge is the
big race that will be contested to-
morrow. and it is we'll named and
astaged on the best day of the year.
In this race Frank Kramer and
EFrank Cavanagh, Americas two best
1short distance riders, will meet Wal
tier Rutt and Iver Lawson in one
lheat, Jackie Clark and Ernie Pye in
lanother heat, and Alt Goullet and ALI
,JGrenda IN the last heat. 1t is asking
"a whole lot of the Yankees to take
aon three teams of such caIibre, one
after the other. but they believe that
they can go through the race with

match for Cavanagh when it comes

come Cavanagh's superior strength
by crafty riding. Lawson has long
been considered one of the cleverest

Kramer and Rutt will not be far sep
#rated at the time the bell rings, and
these great champions will probably
light neck and neck battle on the
entire last lap, with the rider having
Ithe pole being the most likely win
ner.
81 Pye, who has carried many a train
along at top speed for half mile, will
pull Clark in the second leg of the
Face, and he can be relied upon to
make the going very interesting for
the Irish champion"
Third Heat Hard One.
The third heat is the toughest of
the lot and will be doubly hard, as
,sthe Yankee pair will be more or less
4tired from their efforts in the previous
{heats. The giant, Grenda, will be the
4"donkey'' in this heat, and he is some
9"donkey" too. If Grenda is leading
at the half-mile mark he will surely
have Goullet in front at the bell, for
there is no rider in the game who can
go two laps faster than the Tasma-
MAN. 1t is sure to be a half-mile
sprint in this heat, and that is some
distance to carry hard sprint.
If Kramer can survive this heat and
sVsn from behind he is wonder for
Sure All of the spirits are pretty
certain to be no less than half mile,
and while the final eighths will prob
ably not be as fast as is recorded in
French style races, the time for the
last half in each heat will be inter-
esting.
Stars in Half Mile Open.
All the stars are to ride in the half
mile open with the exception Of Mo-
retti and Fogler. In this race Cham
pion Kramer and Walter Rutt, Goul-
let. Grenda, Clark and Lawson will be
among the starters. 1t is field of
great class, and as every starter is
in top form, the race is sure to be

Brace and four will start in the final.
THE stars will also start in the one
Emile handicap, with Kramer and Rutt
qualifying for the final honor.
Fourteen teams are entered in the
tandem handicap, which will bring to-

4wo teams are allotted a small han

There is a two-mile invitation on
the bill for General Villa" Cameron
and the rest of the invitation riders.
and the notorious 'teamster'' has an
ANNOUNCED that he is going to ride
THE race "on his own" and will see
fthat the rest of the riders do the
same. Cameron had a long talk with
Referee Arthur Ross yesterday, and
the latter has prevailed upon the
f"General' to ride alone. Cameron
went deep into the secrets of the
various combinations with the
referee, and the arbiter has got all
the dope on the big fellows, as we'll
as the little fellows, and there may
be wholesale disqualifications in the
races tomorrow.
Amateur Stars to Clash.
The amateur championship, which
waxeth warm with the titular battle
just half over, may develop into an
even tighter race after the half-mile
event billed for tomorrow is over.
Champion McDougall has but a scant
.lead over Harry Kaiser for first place,
tand Kaiser is holding down second
place by the same margin over Willie
Hanley, of California, and Fred Tay-
Tor, of Newark. Eddie Madden and
Tommy Smith are still in the running,
also. not far away from the leaders.
Hanley is being touted as the fastest
boy in his division just at present,
and If he should land the title race
tomorrow he will be very much in the
running.
In addition to the title race, there
will be half-mile handicap for the
amateurs tomorrow and two-mile
novice. The entry in both of these
races is unusually large. and many
of the new riders developed since the
