Egg and Mcnamara Win Meet
in Iandem=Paced Match at
YelodrOme Sunday.
SPRINT STARS TO CLASH

Manager Floyd MacFarla nd, Of thc
Nelodrone, viii stage a race fIext
Sunday that two big promoters tried
in vain to stage in Paris. 1t isathe
Oscar Egg-Reggie Mcnamara tan
dem-paeed match Mcnamara was
so good in Europe this season thai the
great Swiss rider absolutely refused
to meet him in paced or an unpaeed
match. After seeing Egg perform
against Jimmy Moran and George
Wiley last Sunday, one would tilil9k
that he was afraid OF no rider wno
had no more than two legs, but IL As
a fact nevertheless, that the Swiss
was afraid of the Australian.
Victor Breyer, manager of the Velpx
drome Buffalo in Paris, and Marcel
Durand who owns the famous PAR
des Princes track in the French eaIi-
tai. both made Egg all sorts of offers
to meet Mcnamara, but he REFUSAL
TO risk his reputation in a match with
Reggie.
1t might he said that the warallad
one pleasing feature for Egg. i'll thu
ii did away with Mcnamara, butthfsi
same war has resulted in bringing
about a match between the stWas
Eggs contract with the Cycle RACING
Association calls for match races with
anyone the {. r. A. mny see lit f.
match him with and Mcnamara Is 70
be his next opponent
After Egg had made Moransaand
Wiley look like a couple of sell
platers Sunday, many of the fans sails
that he was In n class by himself brt
il is evident that Egg has It dillareait
view Of his invincibleness. McNat
mara said yesterday that he would
positively beat the man from Switze5
land. And there is another rider W.:n
does not believe that Egg cannot be
beaten. This rider is ALI Goullet. He
has confidence in his own ability TO.
! defeat the Swiss.
Goullet was ANONYMOUSLY defeated.
/ by Champion Frank Kramer SundaN,s
! but he blames himself entirely~fois
that defeat, and holds no malice at all
/ for Kramer. Most riders would hef''.'
| forgive the champion for adm1nlsI w
! ing such an awful lacing as he gave
Goullet, but the latter consoledS hi
/ self by saying there is another ~
! coming And that day Is next 5 IN
day, according to Goullet. A Kramer=
Goullet match is one of the featurek
of the card for Sunday at the4Nel-'r
drome, and the winner of that matrtl
will have n two-to-one advantage. ;
/ If there had been more than one
heat ridden Sunday between Kramer
and Goullet the result might nave
sbeen different for ii is quite certain
that Goullet would not have raced
the same way IN the second as.he
did in Che heat that Kramer Won
Goullet said he was asleep IN that
heat and 1t is quite certain that he
was thoroughly awakened after
Kramer jumped him in the middle OF
the backstretch. Somnambulism Is a
terrible thing, but it is not incurable
d
Goullet is IN a very happy frame
OF mind today Yesterday he was
busy scrawling his John Hancock on
contracts and when ii WAS over he
had signed his way to a small for
tune. He first signed to ride OLA - =
sprint circuit of the Cycle Racing
Association next season, then he ac-
cepted contract to ride in the Bos-
ton six-day race and finally he wound
up by signing a contract for the New
York day trace. 1t was fine
days business for the Gippsiand
wonder and Will give him added am
bition in preparing for his dual with
Kramer Sunday. In the Boston race
Goullet will ride with Fred Hill and
in the New York race his mate will
be Al Frederick the Great Grenda,
his pal
When the Mauretania OF the Gun
ard line, pulls out tonight she will
? have on board Bill Bailey, the Eng
lish champion. Sir Bill is return
ing to dear old England to pull oil
u deal In real estate. His contract
is up with the c. f. A., but If it was
not for a cablegram from his wife in
respect to the disposal of some prop
erty, the English star would have re
manned here until the end of thesotft
door season and would have com
peted in the New York six-day race
AS 1t is Bailey may ride the New
York grind if it is run In December
instead OF November, as is proposed
at this time. Bailey made fair
showing here, but he was not here
long enough to become acclimated
and reach top form.

McNamara and Moran is the first
team signed for the Boston six-das
race. which will be run in November
They will be called the Irish team
and should make a distinct hit with
the South Bostonians, and, incident
ally make Pat Logan jealous.
