was run in heats. For the final heat
six great sprinters lined up-Newkirk,
Walthour, Krebs, Kramer, Kimble and
Newhouse. For the first quarter they
loafed and jockeyed for position. When
the riders finally passed the grand
stand for the last lap, Kramer shot out
in front of tho bunch. Kimble hung to
his wheel with the others struggling to
keep within striking distance. Kimble
pulled up on even terms with the lead
er, and they rode as one man for 200
yards. Kimble quit and Kramer was
alone in front Newhouse suddenly left
both behind and went high UP on the
bank at me last turn. He came down
the incline like a cannon bali, and in
three seconds had closed the gap that
separated him from Kramer. The i'm
petus of the down grade sent him to
the front inch by inch, and he crossed
the line a winner by narrow margin.
