NIGHT AT VELODROME
oiue-Jacketed Australian Captured Quarter
mile Championship Event from Frank
Kramer and Australian Pursuit Race.
KAISER IS VICTOR OVER M'DOUGALL

Inc fans at the Velodrome Ia Of
night We're treated to a remarxa hIe
exhibition of riding by Alfred Goul-
let, the speedy little Australian. Not
only did the little blue aeketed flier
win the Australian pursuit race from
All Grenda, but he also lowered the
colors of Frank Kramer and a blue
RIBBON field of sprinters in the mar
ter-mlle national championshin
Goullet rode like the wind last n;gbt
and there was no stopping him. He
mad all the form he displayed a few
weeks ago, and, if anything. seemed
10 be bit speedier. AS a result of
MS victory over Champion Kramer
last night, Goullet is now but two
points behind the East Orange rider
In the race for the national title.
The draw for the semi-fnals found
Rutt, Spears, Fogler and Grenda in
the first heat and Kramer, GoulIet,
Lawson and Clark in the other. Rutt
had very little trouble annexing his
heat, the real fight being for second
place between Fogler and Spears.
Joe was able to stand off Bob's deter
mined challenge on the back stretch.
and some in length behind Rutt
The riders in the second semi-final
had to make two attempts before
they got under way. Kramer out
broke the field in the first start. but
puncture to Lawson's wheel halted
the race just after the break. When
they lined up again Goullet shot off
In front, with Kramer at his hip and
Clark third. They continued in this
order until they started to leave the
back stretch when Kramer Jumped,
and, by a fine ride, was just able to
nip Goullet at the. tape. 1t took all
Kramer had in him to catch the fly
ing Australian.
The Final.
Kramer was on the pole in the
final heat, with Goullet on the out
side. Rutt was next to Kramer
Once more did Goullet break in the
leading position. Kramer was at
his wheel with Fogler third. They
continued in this order until the
back stretch, when Kramer again
jumped. This time, however Goul-'
let was not to be denied. and MAIN
tanned his lead to the tape. He
won by about a foot. Rutt was
third, the weltmeister never being
able to get to the leaders
The Pursuit Race.
Goullet, Grenda, Jokus, Cavanagh,
Clark and Rutt were the qualifiers for
the Australian pursuit race final.
Goullet drew the tape position with
Grenda on the 49-yard mark Jokus
was placed at 81 yards; Cavanagh,
14b yards; Clark, 1874 yards, while
Rutt started from the 243-y yard mark.
Clark was the first rider to fall by
the wayside, Cavanagh catching
Jackie after a few laps. Grenda then
set sail for Jokus, and although the
Newark boy gave ALI merry time
of it, he had to succumb. Cavanagh
then enlivened the chase by setting
sail for Rutt. The weltmeister was
not to be caught. however, by the
"Cave Man." and Frank failed in his
effort Frank was used up chasing
Rutt and was unable to withstand
Grenda's determined challenge. Rutt
continued his fast riding but he, too,
was doomed to fall before Grenda-
The two Alfs then had the track to
themselves and they continued on
even terms for about a mile. Goullet
gradually 1essened the distance and
