ed until Peabody caught him. In the
stretch he made sprint that made Pea
body think somebody was holding his
wheel Kramer won by a big margin and
was hailed as the amateur champion
This was in 1898. The next year Kramer
was going faster than the professionals
and decided TO break into the professional
game In 1900 he did this and celebrated
his debut by winning the championship
which he has held ever since.
Here in Salt Lake the name of Kramer
became known as year after year he de-
feated the champions sent east to test
his speed. So last year it was decided
to get Kramer into our own back yard
and beat him. He was sent for and
matched with liver Lawson on the local
saucer track. The result of that race is
known. Kramer plainly showed Salt Lake
that the stories of his great riding in the
east were not misrepTesented and that he
was the greatest Splinter the world has
ever known. This year Kramer added
another notch to his crown by taking the
scalp of Samuelson in a pursuit race and
today Salt Lake fans know him only as
King Kramer, with no more worlds to
conquer.

If IT II Ape N S
IT'S HERE
GLENWOOD RACES
ARE CALLED OFF
Probably No More Cycling
Sport for Ogden Public
this Season.

The races in Ogden this evening have
been called off. 1t is also highly prob
able that there will not be any more
cycle races at the Glenwood track this
season. Manager Harry Heagren an
nounced yesterday that there would be
no races tonight and while he did not say
there would not be any more races after
this evening it is highly probable he will
decide to take this action. He now has
il under consideration.
The reason the races are called off this
evenin is the adding of an extra day
in the local S.X-day race. The riders
have all entered in this race and will have
to run tonight hence Heagren has no rid
ers to compete in Ogden. The six-day
race was announced as a six-day race
only and He8g ren went ahead with his
meet for Ogden tonight. His program
was out and the races advertised, but
when the announcement was made yester
day that tn race was TO end this even
ing instead Of last night, Heagren could
do nothing but call off the meet in Og
den.
Sunday is the only night in the week
races can be run in Ogden on account of
the train service, as on this day there
are special excursions which the riders
can use to and from Ogden. 1t is ru-
mOred that the Salt Palace track will run
Sunday night for the rest of the season
and Heagren does not see how he can
give races in Ogden if they run here,
without ;Ihtting up the riders in such
a manner as to injure both tracks.
Heagren has had an uphill job all sea-
son to put the game on its feet in Ogden,
and in more ways than one has been
greatly hampered by the tactics pursued
IN local cycling circles. In spite of this
he has made the game a go and the
Ogden public greatly appreciated his eff
forts. Each meet brought out a large
attendance and just as success was as
sured ne has been forced to quit.
The riders themselves are the greatest
sufferers. Many of the local bunch have
made more money in ogden than they
have in Salt Lake and so far this season
about $1,000 has been distributed among
them. When they realize the position
they are left in, there will probably be a
yell but then il will be too late.
Meanwhile the Ogden fans can thank
Harry Heagren for putting the game on
its feet after il had been killed. and II
ne is forced to suspend, they well know
it was on account of circumstances over
which he had no control.

Frank Lewis Kramer first saw the
light of day tWenty-seven years ago at
Evansville. Ind. Persons who were pres
ent say there were no manifestations 10
show that the worlds champion bicycle
rider had arrived beyond a good healthy
yell. plainly indicating that Baby Kramer
had pair of healthy lungs 1t was not
long. however, until Baby Kramer began
to study the subject of wheels. When
most of the kids in his neighborhood were
playing with rattles and rubber balls of
spare time In his fathers saw mills,
watching the wheels go around. One day
his father found him on top of a grind
stone trying to pedal the round stone as
giant saw which cut the big logs into
lumber. Young Kramer had a great
hump on his back and was putting some
powerful kicks into the handle of the
grindstOne and records say he kept the
big saw busy. To this day Kramer de-
clares il was here that he developed his
first bicycle sprint and muscles.
Kramer, senior decided then and there
bicycle rider instead of a manufacturer
of lumber, and bought Frank his first
wheel. In a couple of weeks Kramer de-
VelOped into the champion of his neigh
borhood. Every day after school the
kids held a race meet. Kramer was the
king and used to kick at the handicap
ping, just he does now.
Kramer moved to East Orange, \. J.,
when he was still a lad and saw his first
bicycle riding. Instead of carrying water
to the elephants to see the circus, Kramer
crawled over the fence or peeped through
a knOt-hOle in the fence to see the great
riding of Arthur Zimmerman. Eddie Bald
and other champions of those days. He
studied their action, went home and prac-
ticed some more and one day blossOmed
out as bicycle racer in road race
1t was not long until the king was
champion of the mosquito belt in New
Jersey and his fame began to travel
abroad. About this time Earl Peabody
of Chicago was called the amateur cham
piOn of the United States, and an enter
prising race promoter sent for Peabody
to race Kramer. Kramer was given
handicap over the Chicago boy. but wait
