may be disappointed. The champion

/. Denmark, but nothing definite will be
done until the meeting. The cham
.spIenships have been given TO the
|, Danes three times, while we have had
asfhs big meet in America but once III
.twenty-two years. Million and l
TANK it is coming to America. and we
have very good argument 10

However. in the event Of diappoint-

isssf have signed Leon Didier, one OF the
hast az the European pace-followers'

big German thinks well OF his chapees
"a America, against our boys, ana mas
insisted upon meeting no one IN
match race until he stacks UP against
4, Frank Kramer. I will put that match
on about May 8, shortly after IRA

MON Of the world. and he Is anxious
to be right on edge when ne meets
aola Steve" in hopes that he can peat
him and save the title.
Jacauelin Under Contract
am going right ahead signing
visers and the famous old french
champion and one time worlds cham
nion. Edmund Jacquelin. affixed his
signature to a contract today. Jac-
au,peIin is the greatest French rider
that ever lived, and while ne is not
the great man that he was some
wears ago he is still fast enough TO
heat three-auarters of the sprinters
In the world today. Jacquelin VIII
cone in June, and with him Will be
seen Moretti and either Ponedri or
yerri. Moretti is a certainty but
have not decided at this time whether
I will sign Verri again or bring over
Polledri.
Signs Five, Option en- -Four More.
Million and Uppercu, the promoters
OF the velodrome, have instructed me
10 get the best men in Europe and l
am surely going to give the Newark
fans the best. I have now secured
Rutt, Hourlier, Jacquelin, Moretti and
Didier and have options on Verri,
Polledri, Perchicot and Poulain. That
is some field and there are more to
be added shortly.
Clark and Hutt to Team Up.
Rumor has it that Jackie Clark and
Rutt are going to ride as a team in
the Berlin six-day race. Rutt told me
today that he would have Clark for
q partner or he would not ride the
race at ALL If such is the case and
the Kaiser insists on Clark, you can
rest assured that the team is a fact
They Have Reason.
The. aftermath finds all the riders
who started In the Paris six-day race
satisfied with the exception of Clark
and Root OF course, they had bad
luck and quit the race.

Keeps Riders Going.
