Performance Never Equalcd
When Goullet flashed his wheel over
lie finish line in the final sprint of the
race he had won his thirteenth victory
curing the hour Of point sprinting out
II some eighteen starts, record never
bcfcre eaualed in six-day race. As
ne dismounted GouIlet was given the
greatest ovation ever accorded a BIZ
cycle rider
4, More than 10000 persons in the
seats, far up in the gallery and in the
ipfield, cheered. tossed hats and over
goats into the air and roared a welcome
TO All.
. Goullet's riding last night was the
rtcst astonishing performance ever re-
corded in the history of cycling. Handi-
escped week by Brocco, weak
ss 70 le Australian star, who is
* : uautrahzed American, began the
,r.a! hoNr OF sprinting in fourth place.
Mcnamara and Madden were re-
c:rded as almost certain winners, bar
eng accidents, but it was the fierce
determination of Goullet and his
natchless speed and endurance. that
5ss.ally forced the leaders back into the
guck.
~ Literally ridden into the ground in
sheir mad attempts to hold Goullet in
check, Mcnamara and his partner had
20 reserve strength left when Coburn
began the great "jain" during the last
raii hour of the race. Only Rutt and
Aoburn and Lawrence and Thomas
ssere able TO hold the pace set by
t5oullet.
= Sixth Garden Victory
\ When the excitement at last died
siown these three teams were lap
ahead Of the nearest pair and Nc
sNamara and Madden, losing two laps
during this sprinting spree, left the
crack shortly after, completely ridden
cut.
&, BY abandoning the race at this stage
,lcNamara and Madden lost fifth place
10 Deruyter and Van Kempen.
In winning last nigat Gouuet also
set up another record, this marking
lis sixth victory n these Garden
yrinds. Joe Fogler. who won on five
occasions. was Goullet's closest rival
il this respect. There was not a per-
son iii the Garden last night, not
even among the trainers, who be-
aiaved that "Australian Alfr would be
'eaual to the test that he faced in the
last hour OF nervc-w -wrecking sprints.
That he did it stamps Goullet as the
greatest rider who ever appeared on
!. track.
The showing of the veteran Walter
t.utt was another of the surprises of
the race. Rutt withstood every demand
Upon his staying and sprinting powers
and was generally among the leaders
when q Jam" was on. 1t was his rid
ing, as we'll as that of Goullett and Co.
burn. that was responsible for the ut
ter collapse of Mcnamara and Madden
ssvhen the latter team appeared to have
tne race in its grasp. Lawrence and
lhonlas, also veterans in these races,
s&ithstood the gaff all the week, to fin
.ish in third place.
:. Ten minutes before 10 o'clock Joe
fogler ordered the three trailing teams
Of Lands and Lang, Drobach and Han
ley and Bello and Gaffney off the track,
-I,us leaving the field open for the six
leading pairs. Those men who started
N the first of the last-hour sprints
were Madden, Van Kempen, Goullet,
Lawrence, Van Hevel and Rutt.
Goullet Wins First Sprint
. ALI Goullet won the first sprint, COM
ing from third place on the last lap.
Madden was second, Van Kempen third
,1lnd Van Hevel fourth.
- In the middle of the second sprint
-Rrocco started "jam," and there were
scenes Of wild excitement for the next
eAve minutes. Goullet increased the
elead to half a lap, but then Van KEN
pen and Deruyter brought the field up
even. Goullet continued his marvellous
riding, winning the second sprint.
Van Kempen took the third sprint,
with McNanlara second and then the
great sprinting of Goullet won the
csourth, with Madden next over the line.
tIhis brought Goullet and Brocco in a
tie for the lead with Mcnamara and
Madden, but Brocco was absolutely
useless to All, who was riding single
BANDED against every two men Of the
other teams
=, Mcnamara took the fifth and Madden
the sixth sprnts, and then Goullet won
his fourth race in five starts by
capturing the seventh after a glorious
battle with Mcnamara. Brocco finished
last in the next sprint and then the
great Goullet raised tho crowd of
1900 TO frenzy by winning the ninth
aasn, with Madden second. It was re-
}oarkahle the way Goullet was able to
stand the terrific strain Of these tests.
Goullet's Great Riding
& Van Kempen won the tenth, Nc
Namara the eleventh, and then it was
:aif Goullet who proved himself the
greatest rider who ever won a six-day
race by taking the twelfth sprint, thus
making six victories out of his eight
times on tho track, q second and g.
third place.
Immediately after the finish Of tho
thirteenth sprint, which was won by
Walter Rutt, the greatest Clam" Of
the race came OFF. Coburn suddenly
zhot out and opened up fifty yards.
Hutt made beautiful pickup and had
"A quarter of lap before the field was
after him. Brocco tried to hold the
pace, but lost ground steadily, and
then Goullet came forth once more
and started after the runaways like a
rwhirlwind.
After fifteen minutes Of heart-break-
Ing sprinting the teams of Mcnamara
