Happy New Year Card.
l-------------------
The moment ALI signed his name to
the paper signifying his intention to
stick to the riders in their efforts to
free themselves from slavery the bat
tie was won. He was the one big
man they wanted. Kramer might
have come forward with a suggestion
for or against the proposition, but in
his absence Goullet answered the pur-
pose to nicely.
g
Reggie Mcnamara, peeved at the
suggestion that he was double
crosser," made haste to sign a con-
ttract to ride In the Chicago race He
promised he would sign, but for
time he could not be located, and it
was feared that he had been lured
to the other side. Mcnamara will ride
in Chicago with Bob Spears. Joe
Fogler said today that he would
guarantee that ALI Grenda and
Freddie Hill would be starters in the
race. With these men assured the
Chicago grind promises to have one
great field of riders.
