Fogler he has a partner who is as
foxy as they come nowadays, but
that they Will be able to beat the
big German" and the Tall Tas-
manian," why that is another ques-
lion. Sure. it is, however, that Goul-
let will make Rutt extend himself to
the limit In the overture prize last
Sunday "Goullie" fought the welt
meister" from the middle of the
Mum avenue turn almost TO the tape.
For a few yards up the stretch 1t
looked as If Rutt would be beaten,
but the German has such great
strength that he was able to hold his
sprint right to the tape. In the
( Stanley handicap Goullet was kept
out of the money through interfer-
ence and Rutt was also impeded by
the same switching tactics. of which
George Cameron, the champion
teamster," was the offender. That
switch robbed the h ndicap OF a
much better contest. out Grenda, the
winner, it must be admitted. rode a
great race.
@
Some of the fans who like to Cos
sip about the chances of the riders
in the various races say that the
J Rutt- Grenda combination is entirely
too strong. The opinion prevails
| that Grenda could win with either
Goul'et or Jackie Clark, who rides as
a team-mate with Frank Cavanag h
/ Grenda. the fans have it. is a big
horse. and he can put his team-mate
in front when well on the final lap
Such a position is taken as meaning
almost certain victory. Yet that isn't
always so. although with Rutt in the
lead at the eighth pole. 1t will be a
terrific task to beat him. l imagine
! that Goullet will trail Rutt and en-
deavor to beat the German from be-
hind, for he can hardly hope for
Fogler to put him in front against
such a powerful fellow as Grenda.
! Clark and Cavanagh, it seems. are
! not being given much consideration.
| " 'Ef tiAphSAt IT - klOl easy 10 tN-
plain. Clark. while beaten off by
Rutt and Goulet in the Overture
prize Sunday. displayed an excellent
turn of speed in his semi-final. in
which Bob Spears gave him a hard
battle. Then, too, Cavanagh. his part
ner, is known as a good man in team
races. and those who saw the big
fellow ride last year with Frank
Kramer as partner will remember
] how, on the last lap, he put Kramer
yards and yards out in front. Still.
/ Clark and Cavanagh are not being
considered in the calculations. Rutt
! and Grenda. Goullet and Fogler are
being picked as the contenders.
@
A teams match race is a most un-
certain proposition at best. 1t was in
those kind of races that Kramer, in
the days of Floyd mcfarland and
! liver Lawson. would lose his goat"
I The American champion didn't like to
compete in teams races and he was
beaten as general rule through some
hook or crook or by some unexpected
/ happening. OF course, it looks like an
individual match when the boys get
out in front, sprinting on the last lap,
but 1t isn't anything of the kind For
instance. Clark might beat Rutt and
| Goullet in the big race Sunday, yet
in an individual match either Rutt
or Goullet would give Jackie a sure
enough lacing.
The riders at the Velodrome are
taking a keen interest in the outcome
of the teams race, and not a few are
giving Goullet look-in. Rutt,
naturally, is the choice among the
boys, for the big German" has
surely shown his class as sprinter.
@
Floyd MacFarland, the bike man
ager, is very sweet on Georges Car
pentier. the French fighter, and de-
clares that Georges is destined to be-
come the heavyweight champion of
, the world. Mac" tells a lot of nice
stories about Carpenter, and believes
ne VIII yet feach the top.
Carpenter is only a boy, you
know" MacFarland said, in discuss
ing the Frenchman. HE is not yet
! twenty, and he has been in a number
of important battles. He has been
up against such good men as Frank
Klaus. Billy Papke and Joe Jeanette,
and yet, while beaten, he has never
been severely beaten. His manager has
saved him several times from being
knocked out by stopping the contest,
and he hasn't a mark today to show
that he has ever been a fighter Yes"
I MacF'arland went on to say, you
will hear from Carpenter later on.
| Georges will very likely be matched
against the winner of the Jack john
| son-Frank Moran bout. That would
give him a chance at the title, and
he would make great battle for it.
AS to the Johnson Moran fight. why,
there is only one to it-Johnson-but
! you never can tell what that bird is
going to do. Everybody looked for
him to LAY down" to Jeffries at
/ Reno, but you know what Jack did
to Deck Wolters's great friend, jeff"

battles and he is considered very
good judge of fighters. He was pres
