WORLDS RECORD BROKEN.
There were two events in last night $
pr, gram either one OF which was worth
NE price of admission. one was
the great ride made by Cham-
picn Frank Kramer in the
nree-quarter-Mi dash when he broke
the worlds record, The otner was the
daring and soul-stirriug ride made by
Gussie Lawson on his tast motor. That
he could have broken record there is no
doubt but Gussie simply wanted to make
the race interesting and not farce
In the three-quarter-mile eNnt Kramer
did not have his partner Clarke to pull
him around tho oval. The Australian had
a fall in his heat and was out or the
game for the balance of the evening"
When the final came Kramer lacked onto
Pye's rear wheel and then began me fght
with the handicapped riders. kramer
