TEAMS RACE FOR
VELODROME FANS
Rutt and brenda Ready for In
ternatiOnal Contest TOmOr=
row Afternoon.
STARS IN FIyE-MLE OPEN


ter" will endeavor to give a further
demonstration at the Velodrome to-
morrow that there can be more speed
generated in the legs of a German
than in the lower extremities of Aus
tralian colonists. Herr Rutt, who Is
| the second citizen of Germany since
the crown prince and heir presump-
tive to the German army has been
placed on the -in bad" list, gave Just
such a demonstration before 10000
people last Sunday, but he feels that
another demonstration is necessary
to convince our cosmopolitan city
that such is the case.
| Herr Rutt will give his first DEM
onstration tomorrow in a team race,
| in which he will have the able as
sistance of the 30 pounds of Drawn
possessed by Mr.. Alfred Grenda, of
Australia, Mr.. Grenda having kindly
volunteered to do all in his power to
| land Herr Rutt in front of ALI Goul-
| let, who is Mr.. Grenda's roommate
and best friend and he will also do
what he can to prevent Jackie Clark,
another of Mr. Grenda's countrymen,
from crossing the tape in advance of
Herr Rutt Mr.. Grenda does not wish
| to be classed as a traitor for having
agreed to such course, and will try
to show his honesty of purpose by
aiding in sound trouncing OF
Messrs. Goullet and Clark.
An International Event.
The team race is decidedly an in
ternatlonal affair, and there will be
saluting of flags all around. MIR. Jo-
| seph Fogler, who is an American cit
! izen regardless of the fact that he
| lives and votes In Brooklyn, will give
| his services to Mr.. Goullet, while
Frank Cavanagh, an American Of
Irish lineage, will place 900 pounds of
good, sound beef at the disposal of
Mr.. Clark. In other words, one
Australian will help a Dutchman to
beat two Australians and two YanlSs,
| while two Yanks will help two Aus
| tralians to beat Dutchman and an
| Australian. Just how quickly this
affair of nations will be settled can
| not be determined in advance, but
there Is sure to be greater dispatch
shown than in our affairs with Mex
leo. There may be two heats to the
match or there may be four There
is one thing certain, there will not
be over four heats unless one or more
finishes result in a tie. After one
of the international coalitions has
won two heats hostilities will cease.
All In Five Mile Open.
When the contention in the teams
match is settled the truce will end
and the six combatantS will engage
in five-mile open, in which each will
endeavor to humlliate his erstwhile
benefactor and everybody else in the
race. All the power that Mr.. Grenda
will WELD in favor of Herr Rutt in
the teams race will be directed
against the German in the five mile,
and the Yanks will try to save some
of the prize money for local consump-
ton.
1t is said that Herr Rutt is even
better in an American style race,
such as the five-mile open, than he
is In a French style race which does
not SAVIOR well for the others In the
contest. Herr Rutt did remarkably
well In a French style race last Sun
day, and IL he Is such an apt per-
former in an American style race
as we are led to believe then it is
well that no German style races are
to be staged here during the time
Herr Rutt is visitor with us.
In the five-mile open tomorrow $29
will be distributed along the route
much in the same manner that DIR.
Cook placed gumdrops in his path
There will be quite a struggle for
these substitutes for gum drops, and
Al Triebel, Joe Reeber, Willie Coburn,
Eddie Rupprecht, Floyd Krebs, Joe
Kopsky, Ernie Jokus and Mike Fera-
rar, who know the country so well
in the region of the Velodrome, will
lead the way right up to the final
goal.
Grenda After Two Events.
Whether Mr. Grenda is avaricious
or simply greatly imbued with am
bition is not known at this time, but
he is not going to let any of the
prize money at the meet tomorrow
get away from him without having
try for it. He is to star in the
team race and the five-mile open,
and while the others are recovering
from their efforts in the teams match
and resuscitating for the flve-mile
open, Mr.. Grenda will try to garner
the biggest hunk of bacon that is
hung up in the one-mile tandem race.
In this event Mr.. Grenda will be as
sisted by Ernie Pye, also of Austria
liza. Opposed to the straight Austria
liam team in this race will be Fogler
and Hill, Ryan and Lawrence,
Walker and Drobach, Thomas and
Cory, the brothers Bedell, Krebs
and Jokus, Kopsky and Anderson
and Coburn and Hanson.
McDougaII Gets Another Chance.
The amateur races are two in
number, and Donald McDougall
hopes that they will serve as
medium for a complete vindication
of his dismal failure of last Sunday,
when he went down to two defeats,
something most unusual for the
amateur king of yesteryear A one
mile novice will complete the enter
tainment. Manager Floyd MacFar-
land had arranged a two-mile novice,
but to make certain of having enough
rockies in at the bell lap to make an
enjoyable finish the distance has
been cut to one mile.
