MAC FARLAND HAS
TO CURTA|L CARD
''PrO" Race Eliminated from
Program of Sprint Meet at
Madison Square Garden.
GOULLET IN HIGH FAVOR

On account of the length of the
program for the sprint meet which
will usher in the six-day race Satur-
day night at the Garden, Manager
Mcfarland has scratched one OF the
professional races. With the one-mtle
PRO" handicap off the bill the card
is still lengthy one and one of the
best ever arranged for the occasion.
There are three feature races. Prob
ably the race which will interest New
arkers most Is the match between
Frank Kramer and ALT Goullet. These
riders have met before in numerous
match contests on indoor and outdoor
tracks, but the coming match is at
tracing unusual interest because it
will determine whether or not Goullet
is master on the little tracks. The
races during the past season at New
Haven showed Goullet positively
Kramer's master on that track, which
is smaller than the one which is be-
ing constructed in the Garden. Up
until this year the Yankee champion
has been supreme on the small tracks
and it has been child's play for him
to beat the best sprinters on the little
saucers of wood. In Boston Goullet
showed such wonderful form he was
able to ride around the field from any
position and the majority of the riders
in that race are of the opinion that
Goullet will be the winner Of Sat-
urday nights match. Kramer is
training hard for the race, which will
be his last for the season of 1914.
America VS.. France.
In the paced race, which is one of
the features, there will be two Yanks
pitted against two Frenchmen. The
race will be run in heats, in the first of
which Clarence Carman will be pltted
against George Parent, the winner of
three worlds motor-paced champion
ships. Bobby Walthour and George
Sores will clash in the second heat
and the winners will meet in the
final. Sores is rated as the best rider
in the world back of the motors in
short races and on the form he is
showing in training at the Velodrome
he looks like a possible winner. All
of the three heats will be at five
miles.
Seat Sale for Local Fans.
Newarkers who want to see the
sprint meet will be we'll taken care
of this year. There will be 1000 seats
on sale tomorrow at the Firemen's
Pharmacy and they will be available
up until 5 o'clock Saturday night.
This is one of Manager MacFarland's
innovations, and it is a good one as
the sprint meet is always a strong
attraction for the local followers of
the sport, who patronize the meet in
large numbers.
Other Events on Program.
The other events on the card are
q ten-mile open for professionals and
three-mile open and four-lap handi-
cap for the amateurs. The amateur
entry is heavy, practically all of the
simon pures who competed at the
Velodrome the past season having en-
tered the two races. In the five-mile
professional most of the six-day
riders will start.
Team Match a Feature.
The other star race is the team
match in which the two Italian stars.
Francesca Verri and Cesar Moretti,
will meet Jackie Clark and Joe Fog
Ter. This race will be in heats also.
and the winners will have to take two
heats to decide the contest It looks
like an interesting race and will un-
doubleday be a great battle, with the
odds slightly in favor of the Ital-
ians.
