ANOTHER M|SHAP
FOR KRAMER WILL
GIVE CLARKE TITLE

1t is probable that the national cy-
cling championship season will be de-
ciGed the week after Labor Day. This
will mean that only three more cham
pionship races will be decided at the
Velodrome. Manager j. M. Chapman
has not definitely decided to close the
season at that time, but indications are
that he will do so. Friends of Frank
Kramer are commencing to realize that
the champion is liable to be dethroned
by Jackie Clarke.
Clarke's lead of four points is becon.
ing as big as a proverbial mountain,
and should he win tomorrow by eithel
outsprinting Kramer or because of ar
easy coast through Kramer being put
out of h running because of a pune
tured tire it will give him the title.
Even should Kramer win the re-
naming two races he could not win out
providing Clarke got second place in
the contests.
This seasons championship has been
a strange battle. This is due largely
to an unusual number of punctures
Kramer has encountered in the title
events. If he loses the championship it
will he because of these p%unctures,
He has beaten Clarke every time he
has been able to finish, which would
indicate hat he is the better man.
Clarke, the leader and the prospective
champion, has won most of his points
through Kramer's elimination because
of mishaps. He has never beaten
Kramer in a sprinting finish in a
titular race. Still the honors appear
pretty certain for him unless Kramer
wins tomorrow.
For this reason the contest tomor-
row is really the most important OF
the season. A victory for Kramer
gives him a chance to ultimately win
out. A defeat puts him out of the
running unless the season is extended.
Kramer says he will ride as he never
rode before and he says he will take
extra precautions to have tires which
won't puncture.
The championship race is a half
mile, with trial semi-final and flnal
heats. All the pros will ride in it and
they will also compete in the three
mile handicap. Kramer and Clarke will

To defeat Lawrence in a pursuit would
