Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-07-21

the boys say. Tonight the "wuxtree"
shouters will be in new role when
they will attend the bike races at
| the Velodrome. They will have an
! opportunity to see tho big moguls.
Champion Kramer, All Goullet, Big
ALI Grenda and Bob Spears, the
cyclists who are literally burning up
the track at the Vailsburg saucer.
A big card of events has been ar
ranged, one of the numbers especially
for "Fnt" Byock, the liking of tho
newsies."
The saying that nobody loves a
fat man" does not apply to Fat
Byock. Who's that galoot7 you ask.
Shucksi Nearly everyone who ever
CHANGED to pass those busy little
alleys called Broad and Market
streets knows Fat" He's been
selling papers there almost since the
time that Adam was a boy. The
newsboys recognize him as their
king and as such he will be in COM
mand tonight of all the newsies, who
will be admitted to the races free of
charge. The boys will be perched in
a section of the bleachers along the
back stretch, and wait till you hear
the chorus they raise when that gang
begins to root for their various ia
vorites.
Makeup of Seml-FinaI Unknown.
Messrs. Kramer, Goullet, Grenda
and the other six cyclists who quail
fled for the semi-fnals of the Criterion
Stakes, are eagerly desirous of learn
ing how they will be grouped in the
heats at the Velodrome tonight. This
I,aa 1ynx No In nd
in the absence of Manager John M.
Chapman, who departed Monday for
Chicago, there is no authentic adj
vance information available on the
situation.
GouIiet In New Role.
It requires only glance at the
points table to realize that All Goul
let is right back in his old-time form,
and that he is flying in a way that
may carry him to the championship
this season. In the last ten races in
which he finished, not counting that
two-handed match with Kramer, the
Australian has chalked up seven VIC
tories, scored two seconds" and one
third" Goullet has a lead of five
points over the Yankee champion in
the battle for the title, and he is apt
to win some more races even after he
championships are narrowed down to
two men in the final. Goullet will APP
pear in n new role tonight-new for
this season. Besides competing in the
Criterion and possibly In the one-mile
open, the Australian will endeavor to
put the brakes on Oscar Eggs win
ming streak when he meets the Swiss
wonder in a ten-mile tandem paced
race. This will be the acid test for
Egg, who has proved his superiority
over all other riders he has met in
such races this season.

Taylor Amateur Leader.
Fred Taylor, the Newark boy, who
returned to the racing game after the
first of the amateur titular events
had been ridden, and Hans Ohrt are
the principal contenders for the am
ateur championship this season. These
rivals, along with n large field of
other simon pures, will battle it out
tonight in n two-mile championship
race. 1t may be that only two more
of these races for points will be
heduled-tonights event at two
miles and q five-mile. Taylor is now
leading with eleven points, while Ohrt
Is right on his heels with ten. The
result of tonight's race will naturally
go long way toward determining
the 1915 championship.

Other Races on Card.
Several other races are down for
decision tonight, among them q two
mile invitation professional and a
one-mile amateur handicap.
