praise for pacing and working SC

all records for the Velodrome. Or

PEELED to bow to defeat When Bailey
raced here before. and as an anna
teur, he met champion, and his race
! here yesterday was also with cham
pion, the greatest champion in the
world. Bailey, in going down to de-
feat before Frank L. Kramer, need
not feel any of the pangs of hui
initiation that generally go to the
, loser, for Kramer has beaten them
all and is likely to beat them ali fol
some time to come The "Old Mas
ter was in pretty good form yester-
day and he disposed of Bailey in
straight heats. He rode both times
from the front position. though
which shows that he at least respect
ed Bills ability. 1t is customary for
Kramer to ride in one heat from the
front and in another heat from be-
hind. He didn't do it with Bailey,
yet it looked as if he might have and
won.
Bailey showed speed in his race, but
ne was surely not at his best, for he
arrived here on Thursday, and had
only one workout. He didn't presume
to jockey with Kramer in either heat,
and rode right out in front from the
start. In the first heat Kramer on
the fifth lap jumped on the inside at
the first turn, as Bailey was riding
high The champion, once in front,
just stalled along. Bailey raced him
going to the eighth pole on the last
lap, and then made another try at the
twelfth pole Kramer met both at
tempts with a quickened pace, and
came up the homestretch fairly we'll
within himself In the second heat
Kramer dashed to the front at a lap
and a half to go. Bailey was fooled
again, but this time he put up much
better fight He raced Kramer down
the homestretch, and he nearly got
by the champion, who was not any
too well prepared for Bits attack.
They rode side by side until well
down the back stretch, when Bailey
weakened. Kramer was full of speed.
and Bailey ducked in behind the
champion and finished on his rear
wheel
Bailey is a gentlemany chap, and
he is very popular. He received a big
hand on his first appearance, and he
was cheered after each heat. Beaten,
he showed sportsmanship in patiently
waiting for Kramer to make his tour
of honor and then grasping the
Yankee champion by the hand in a
most friendly way. Bailey will race
again, and he will beat a lot of the
boys around here. He qualified for
the Worlds Sprint Derby yesterday
by winning his trial heat and he will
ride in the semi-finals on Wednesday
night.
Talking about the semi finals OF
the Derby, General Mcfarland has
arranged the heats so as to bring
about the best results. These heats
! are sure to start the fans gabbine
on its outcome. and discussion as tc
who will make the final will be in
dulged in until the race is over. Here
is how the men will lineup at the
tape:
First Heat,
Kramer, Lawson and Grenda.
Second Heat,
Rutt, Goullet and Spears.
Third Heat,
Clark, Bailey and Moretti.

In his heat Kramer appears to have
decided advantage, but, as only the
winner qualities for the final, it was
really a hard matter to arrange just
who would be led up to the slaughter
Surely Rutt and Goullet, who figure
to be the contenders, wouldn't wan
to face Kramer in the semi-final, ant
Clark. Bailey and Moretti would hav,
considered themselves badly treated
| If either of them were placed in Q
heat with Kramer. The three riders
who could have the least objection
were Grenda, Lawson and Spears. Al
only two of these three could go il
the champions heat, the lot fell t.
Grenda and Lawson, but Spears seem.
to have Jared no better along with
Rutt and Goullet. After ponderint
over the heats for some time it woult
be hard to see where they could b.
improved upon. 1t is up to the FAM
now to dope out the winners ant
enjoy the races.
