CYCLING PRIZE
Wins Two Out of Three
Heats in the Criterion
Revenge Race.
CUTRIDES AMERICAN

Brenda Defeats Moretti in the
BraSsard Match at the
Newark VelOdrome.

Alfred Goullet, the Australian
cyclist, defeated Frank L. Kramer, the
American champion. in the Criterion
Revenge race ar one mile at the New
ark Veloorome yesterday afternoon.
Goullet won two out Of the three
heats at one mile. There could be no
charge of teaming made against him,
as he did not have the least bit of
outside help, winning absolutely on his
merits. Cesar Moretti. the Italian,
also was in the race, but did not fig
ure in the final sprints.
Goullet had the speed and Kramer
did not. This was shown in the time
recorded. Kramer's best in the first
heat, which he won. was II Is sec
ends from the eighth pole, while mis-
track record is II 3-5 seconds. Goul-
let's time in his two winning heats,
the second and third. was II As sec
onds. and did it from second place
each time.
Kramer caught Goullet mapping in
the first heat, slipping through on the
pole after Moretti, while Goullet
was riding high on the backstretch.
After Kramer had taken the lead
Goullet came around Moretti, but lost
the heat by foot.
In the second heat, with Kramer
leading, Goullet began a long sprint,
and as the Yankee went off into the
fat in the homestretch Goullet passed
him and won by a half length. The
third heat saw Kramer leading at the
start of the last lap, with Moretti
second and Goullet third. Goullet's
quick jump carried him past Moretti
and then he and Kramer battled side
by side for half lap. Kramer broke
under the pace on the backstretch,
and then Goullet went on to victory.
Alfred Grenda, the Tasmanian, won
the Brassard from Moretti by long
sprint, his early advantage enabling
him to win by an inch.
Rain cut short the programme:

SEATS FOR ALL
COMERS' TOURNEY
ON SALE TO-DAY
West Side Tennis Club
AlIots 1000 Tickets for
NOn-MemberS.

Because Of the urgent demand for
scat subscriptions from lawn tennis
lovers not members Of any club rep
resented in the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association change has
been made in the arrangements for
the national championship, beginning
on August 80 on the courts of the
West Side Tennis Club. Because of
the volume of criticism following the
announcement that the subscription
would not be open to the general pub
lie until August 20 il was decided by
Robert D. Wrenn. the chairman of the
national committee, TO open the sub
scription of seats for the entire tour
namcnt to the public to-day and in
this respect place the lovers of the
game and the members of the clubs
upon the same basis without any par
TALLY.
1t was pointed out by Julian S. Ny
rick, president of the West Side Ten
mis- Club. and a member of the national
committee, that at the time Karl Behr
argued so forcefully for transferring
the great champ onship from Newport
20 New York he had dwelt upon its
placing the highest type of lawn tennis
in the world within easy access of the
players and the followers of the coun-
try. The restriction of giving members
of clubs in the national association
preference over non-members in the
securing of the seats had raised a
storm Of protest which had immediate
ly brought about the change desired.
Harry Parker, who had charge of the
Davis Cup seating reservations, has
been notified to open the general sub
scription list to-day at his Office in the
Fcrty-second Street Building. In the
two weeks that the subscription has
been open two thousand of the seats
have been taken.

Thoroughbreds of the East

Stakes at Opening of
Meeting To-day.

Saratoga Springs. Aug. The stage
is all set here to-day for the begin
ming of the month long race meeting
tomorrow. With the arrival Of the
late-comers by the trainload, the old
town took on more of holiday APP
pearance than usual, and Broadway
and the parks were thronged with
promcnaders during the hours inter-
vening between sunset and bedtime.
The famous resort never seemed
more attractive. and. with the added
influx of tourists kept away from the
foreign watering places, here for a
holiday. it is not unlikely that racing
will make many new friends between
row and the end of the month.
Most Of the thoroughbreds that
marched from the trains backward,
sleek and blanketed. in an imposing
array, were those Of Western own
ers, and there seems to be the

BRITTON READY FOR BOUT

Jack Britton. Of Chicago, one of the
best lightweights in the ring to-day,
and Johnny Dundee, in whom many
see a possible champion of the class,
will meet in ten rounds at Madison
Square Garden tomorrow night.
This match will be one of the best
of the year unless all signs fail. Both
boys are at their best, and have been
fighting in sensational style in all their
engagements. A match with Welsh is
the prize for which they are contend

FORTY YACHTS RACE
IN LIGHT WINDS
Large Fleet Takes Part in
Annual Regatta of Ber-
gen Beach Yacht Club.

One of the largest fleets that ever
took part in a regatta on Jamaica Bay
started in the annual race of the Ber-
gen Beach Yacht Club yesterday. Forty
craft were timed. Owing to the light
airs, at least a dozen other yachts did
not arrive in time TO take part in the
regatta. The boats that raced did not
have the best of sport, as the wind was
light throughout. This caused the re.
gatta committee 20 cut the course in
half for the majority Of the divisions.
Among the cabin sloops the winner
was the Marion. Owing TO several Of
the knockabouts arriving late, the di-
vision was divided. The regular class
was won by the Ciz and the special
class was taken by the Clinco. The
first OF the cabin catboats home was
the Sindbad. The Selfish scored a sail
over among the large open catboats
and the Bill Nye won among the small
open cats.
The Mock Turtle was the first Of the
turtle boats home. Among the boats
that raced from Gravesend Bay the
MaxiXe took one division and the
Mouse was the winner in the other
class. Among the cruisers the Siren
led home the feet. In the cabin power
boat class the first craft home was the
May H. The Sunnyside led the way
for the large open power boats and the
Anna Grace won among the small open
power boats Corrected times may
change the awards in several of the di-
visions.
The prizes will be distributed at the
Bergen Beach Yacht Club on August
If. The committee in charge was
Charles A. Merritt, F. c. Haab. jr., f..
