LONG BOB SPEARS
EARNS LAURELS
IN BIKE RACE
Defeats GOullet in Feature
Event at the Newark
VelodrOme.

Long Bob" Spears. the latest cycle
racing Importation from Australia,
earned new honors at the Newark Velo-
drome yesterday afternoon by defeat
ing Alfred Goullet, fellow country
man. The men met in match race at
two-thirds Of mile, and Spears capt
ured two straight heats.
There was a crowd Of 10000, the
largest in two seasons at the track, and
they made hero Of Spears. In each
heat he allowed Goullet to set the pace,
making HIS battle from the rear. The
two heats were ridden in much the
same way, Spears coming from behind
in the last lap and riding around
Goullet.
A year ago Goullet was a close con-
tender for the American championship,
he and Frank Kramer riding OF tie
in q special series Of three races, which
Kramer won.
Kramer showed that ne was on edge
By capturing the ten-mile professional
open yesterday from big field. Spears
started, but was eliminated By a punct-
ure. So was Jackie Clark. Kramer
came out from the line only two laps
from home, when Reggie Mcnamara
tried TO take the lead. Kramer headed
him off, and then he and Mcnamara
had battle royal.
The champion set the pace through
the last leg and had a lengths sd-
vantage at the tape. Jake Msgin, COM
ing on the inside, nosed out Me-
Namara for second place.
Two former stars had 10 bite the
dust in two other races. Jackie Clark
met defeat at the hands Of Frank Cav
anagh in the Brsssard race, at one mile,
and Hans 0hrt, the amateur champion
of 1915, was vsnquished by Arthur
! Spencer, the young Canadian, who was
also an amateur year ago.
