~ HAMPTON FRANK KRAMER
added another Clarke scalp to
his belt last night when he took
the measure of the little Australian at
the Velodrome in an Australian pursuit
race. Clarke had some more of his
usual bad luck, however, for when
Kramer was twenty yards behind
Clarke the little Antipodean's tire eX-
ploded.
At no time during the ride, however, did
Clarke class with the champion, who rode
in excellent form. Had not Jackie pune
turned he would have been overtAken. prob
ably before he had ridden another sixth of
a mile. When the accident happened the
men had ridden iye miles and were coming
into the home stretch. From the start the
East Orange boy gained ON his rival, and
after riding one mile Kramer had gained
about ten yards. At two miles the cham
pion had about the same lead, but during
the next mile he picked up fifty yards
on his rival. From then on he gained
steadily and at four miles had his rival In
sight on the back stretch. During the
next five laps the East Orange boy put
a little more push into 1t and gradually
gained on Clarke. On the next lap Kramer
spurted again. and as they rounded the
South Orange avenue bank both men were
riding fast, when Clarke suddenly raised
his hand, which notified the referee he had
met with an accident.
1t had been agreed that the race would
he started over again should there he an
accident, but Clarke and mcfarland, lbs
manager, were both satisfied to have
hramer declared the winner, for the East
Orange boy was too near to Clarke when
the latter met with his mishap to make
a win for Clarke possible.
Frank Caldwell. who is surprising every
body by his return to form, won the two
mile handicap race for the pros from
the 260-yard mark. He rode a mile alone
after he had stolen away from the bunch.
Eddie Root and Rupprecht came strong
at the finish hut fhP lead th1f Caldwell
had gained won him first money.

the 10-mile amateur contest was taken by
Jacob Magin. Courtney Peer and Ernest
Jokus, of the Nationals, and team mates
Of Mngin. won second and third prizes.
The fVe-mile motor-paced race was cap
tured by Bob Schultz. who rode a daring
race and had little trouble In leaving
Jimmy Hunter in the rear with Johnny
King.
