the final in the other two.

Cavanagh. In this race Moretti
equaled the track record for the final

with apparent ease, looking around

Moretti.
!. Morettis victory will avail him
nothing as far as the title is con-
cerned, but it establishes the fact
that he is one of the worlds greatest
riders, and it has indicated him. His
showing on the local track had been

that great ride has atoned for his
previous failures.

The HaIf-Mne.
Kramer. Rutt, Cavanagh and
Moretti lined up for the final of the
half mile championship. After con-
siderable jockeying Cavanagh took
the lead at two laps to go. Rutt
went around him, and then Kramer
went around. On the back stretch,
just before the bell lap, Kramer was
leading, with Cavanagh on his wheel.
The champion intended to ride from
the front, and was unwinding enter
ing the stretch, feeling safe with
Cavanagh hugging him close, for the
"Came Man" could not jump him
without dropping back, and that he
would not do with Rutt and Moretti
right behind. Just as he left the turn
Moretti jumped and came laundering
down the homestretch. Kramer
turned and saw the artilleryman
coming, and tried to meet his jump.
The Yankee battled for second or
two and then saw it was hopeless.
He quit, and tried to get on Moretti
when he went by, but just then Rutt
came up and sewed Kramer in. That
finished Kramer The fight was be-
tween the Italian and the German,
and they flew down the back stretch
and around the final turn, with
Moretti leading all the way. Coming
down the homestretch Rutt came up
fast, and was less than an inch be-
hind at the finish. The judges would
have called it a dead heat. but the
mechanical judge was In operation,
and it showed that the italian had
won by the smallest margin imagin-
able. Kramer was third and Caya-
nagh fourth.

and Rutt on Kramer. At two laps to
90 Cavanagh started a long sprint,
and was going at top speed at the
bell. Down the back stretch Rutt
forced Kramer to leave Cavanagh and
go to the front, and the Welt

to the tape. Kramer won by half q
length with Rutt second and Lawson
third.
Jackie Clark was shut out in the
heats Of both championship races.
George Cameron jumped away early
in the first heat of the shorter race

field for second, which put him in the
final. Joe FNogler was also shut out

Goullet were put out by Cavanagh
and Rutt. Clark and Moretti were
shut out in the fourth heat of the
two-mile race. Floyd Krebs jumped
and stole away, and Moretti figured
that Clark would surely be able to
get the leaders, and stayed back on
clarks wheel. But Jackie could not
catch a street car yesterday, and
Moretti woke up to the fact when it
was too late. With Grenda and
Fogler twenty lengths away at the
eighth pole, Moretti started after
them. 1t was a hopeless chase, but
the italian rode about two lengths to
the leaders one and showed he was
the fastest man in the heat by wide
margin.
Rutt was riding very fast yester-
day. and If he had had a better posi-
ton in the races he might have been
a winner. The Weltmeister still in

it is almost impossible to come from
third position at the eighth pple and
win. Moretti has learned to ride the
track now, and he will be danger
