Career.

Away.

Alfred Goullet, of Australia. will
hereafter be known as the ten-mile
international champion. This sueedy
australian star, with all his good
riding, has never had title fixed
upon his shoulders, but he won one
last night at the Velodrome when he
crossed the tape in the van of nine
OF the worlds best riders. The race
was the first of the six International
championships to be decided at
she big derby meeting which is
now on. In winning, Goullet had but
little to spare. as Reggie Mcnamara,
another Australian, pressed him hard
Tor the full last lap and was not
more than six inches back of the
victor.
Although there was one incident in
the race that did not please the
crowd, it was a grand race, and if the
other title events that are to follow
furnish as good competition, the der
by meet will be a huge success. The
incident referred to occurred on the
sixth mile when Goullet, who has
been far in the rear of the group
from the start, sprinted up and
dropped in behind the pacemakers,
position which had been held by
Joe Fogler from the start.
The fans are well aware of the
fact that Goullet and Fogler have
been teaming the greater part of the
season and they figured the move as
one to give the two "teamsters" a
strategic position for the final sprint
Kisses greeted these riders for sew
eral laps and again at the finish,
when Goullet was announced the
winner, the crowd voiced its disap-
prevail by more kissing. Blu even
though Goullet and Fogler intended
to team and tried to team, there was
really not much of the teaming stuff
in evidence at the finish. The race
was so fast all of the riders were
tired before the finish and none were
strong enough to be of much assist
ance in the matter of teaming. Nc
Namara had the advantage of pull
from Grenda that brought him up
from last position to the front of the
field during the lonr sprint at the
finish, but that pull. was probably
not intended for Mcnamara.
1t is believed that Grenda was to
as soon as the pacemakers dropped
out and take 'Goullet. Grenda went
around to the front all right but
he did not have enough strength left
to give Goullet pull" Mcnamara
came out as soon as Grenda was up
even with Goullet and then it became
a battle to the tape between Goullet
and Mcnamara. Walter Rutt en-
deavored to pull Frank Kramer up
to the front, but Rutt was too tired
to get the Yankee around ami
swung up long before the finish in
order to give Kramer a clear path.
At this point Kramer was twenty
lengths back of the leaders and with
no possible chance of winning,
Flowers. Money and Medal for GouIlet.
Goullet is entitled Ito all of the
honors, which included, in addition to
the title, first money which was 800,
handsome gold medal, new
worlds record and the usual flowers
For even If he was to have been con-
voyed safely to the tape by Grenda
and Fogler he got there principally
through his own fine efforts and those
Kisses that he tried so hard to smile
down as he did the tour of honor
were not deserved. Fogler finished
third in the race and Jackie Clark
was fourth. Jackie was probably the
best man in the race, for he came
laundering down the home stretch
with lightning speed and rode two
lengths to the winners one in the
final yards. Jackie's effort was i'll
timed and that probably lost him the
race. However, it must be said that
the little fellow was in pocket for a
good part of that final sprint and was
h 1onda6 in fffh rNlanp
which was doing very well after his
long sprint. The "also rams" includ-
ed some of the best known names in
the blue book of cycling, viz, Kramer,
Rutt, Cesar Moretti Frank Cavan-
agh, Bob Spears and Iver Lawson.
The other important event on the
program was the trial heats of the
professional sprint championship.
Seven heats of this big race were run
and those who qualified by winning
in their various heats were Kramer,
Rutt, Goullet. Moretti. Clark, Spears
and Lawson. Kramer. Rutt and Goul-
let won with the greatest of ease
Moretti was pressed hard by Mona
mara in the dash down the nome
stretch and Clark had to do some tall
hustling Just before the bell to get
cut of a pocket in which he was held
by Cavanagh and Ryan. Once IN
front Jackie won handily. The best
competition was in the seventh heat,
which Spears won. Grenda gave his
fellow countryman a great battle and
Long Bob just managed to nose out
the big fellow at the tape,
Eight Heat Was Remarkable.
\. The eighth heat was the most re-
tarkable of the lot, and 1t produced
II uneven battle, in which Lawson
kon, after battling alone against
fogier, George Cameron and tIovd
trebs. Lawson was wise to the
;mbination before the start and he
made up his mind to use every trick
of the game in order to defeat the
overwhelming odds against him. Inc
Swede went to the front early and
cameron Immediately went up along
side and started to force him.
After battling with Lawrence FOR
over a lap. Cameron swung up to per-
nit Fogler to go after the Swede, and
then it was that the latter pulled his
best stuff. He took Fogler up and
down the track and switched and did
everything to keep him back Law
son's efforts were successful. He won
nv a scant foot. Cameron was sus-
uended for his glaring teaming and
will not race again for a week. 1t
was a Just decision on the part Of the
neferee and met with the approval OF
