CRITERION STAKES
Professional Riders Eager to
Qualify in New One
Mile Event.

The chances Of Alfred Goullet, the
Australian. of beirg the first foreigner
to win an American cycle champion
ship were further enhanced yesterday
afternoon when he won the two-mile
title event at the Newark NelodrOme,
just nipping Frank Kramer. the Yam
kec titlehoder for the last fourteen
years. at the taIe.
Goullet's total of points in the
series now stand at 20, wnie Kramer
has 25. Alfred Grenda. the Tasmanian,
who was fourth yesterday, is third in
the standing, with 22 points, while Bob
Spears, another Australian. third yes
terday, is fourth in the championship
series with 10.
Kramer and the three Australians
came through TO the final heat at two
miles. and Kramer had such a hard
race to go around Grenda, who gave
him battle early. that he did not have
quite enough strength TO hold off Goul-
let, who came with a rush in the home
stretch.
There was a pacemaker up until the
last two laps. but early in the race
GOullet. who started next to the pace
maker. gave way to Grenda, by drop
ping back so that there was a gap be-
tween him and the pacemaker. into
which Grenda slipped. Kramer was
third and Spears fourth.
Coming off the turn into the stretch
before the last lap Kramer started a
squirt, which carried him past Goullet
after a short tussle, but he was not
so fortunate with Grenda. The lat
ter had time to get up top speed while
the Yankee was tussling with "Goul-
Ito h. oil
to the twelfth pole before he gave up.
With Grenda disposed of Kramer
had Goullet to fight, and the latter
He gained gradually on the fast tir-
ing Yankee, but the latter made such
fight that it was only Goullet's last
kick that forced his wheel ahead at
the tape. At that the finish was so
close that it was the divided de-
ciSion of the judges, after brief de-
liberation, which gave the Australian
the verdict.
