Krebs was the choice announced, and
the crowd, being divided, hooted An
nouncer Eddie Bedford. Referee KEEL
sey n Manager Johnny Chapman, all
of whom have nothing to do with the
picking of the winners. This part OF
the program is strictly up to the
judges, who are in a better position
to see in what order the riders cross
the tape than any spectator.
In the heat in which Kramer was
disqualified Floyd Krebs was leading
on the turn into the home-stretch
Kramer was second, with Freddy West
third, IN Kramer's wheel. John Bedell
was fourth, waiting to go through.
Kramer saw that Krebs was not going
to give him any more of a chance to
get through than possible, so he de-
cided to go round the Flying Dutch
man" In doing this he had to ride
West high and wide. 1t spoiled any
chance the latter had to get in and
as Freddy rode past the judges stand
he called out a protest to the referee.
Referee Kelsey had made up his mind
TO disqualify Kramer before West had
a chance to protest, for he was on the
job n saw the riding. Kramer also
protested, saying it was Krebs's fault,
and not his. Kramer finished first in
this heat, but Krebs, who finished Sec
ond, was given first. John Bedell had
gotten by Freddy West right after
Kramer had pushed West up the bank,
and second place was given to John.
Freddy Hill, who finished second in
t~hesfourth neat of this event, was also
disqualified for rough riding. He pro-
tested and the GROVE backed him.
Referee Kelsey finally had two special
officers escort him from the enclosure.
No one wanted to take the lead in
the ina heat of the championship
race. John Bedell figured he would have
to fight Fogler and Krebs, who were
very friendly and appeared as though
they might be teaming it, so Johnny
took h lead on the back stretch.
Paddy Hehir had the same dope and
he took the lead next. Fogler thought
1t time to sprint on the lap before the
bell and, with Krebs on his wheel,
made q jump on the back-stretch.
Paddy Hehir jumped just too late to
get Sir Joseph, but he had a neck-and-
neck a c with Krebs all the way.
Some declared Paddy beat Floyd out
by half a wheel. others say Krebs won
by inches. 1t was close. anyway and
as four of six judges picked Krebs. he
got the credit. John Bedell came
strong at the finish, but only got
fourth. A small-size blanket could have
covered the four riders at the finish.
The point table now reads: Kramer,
AZ; Fogler, 80; He1ir, 16; Fred Hill, 1S;
Root, IL; Krebs, 10; John Bedell, 9;
Drobach, 6; Menus Bedell, 4; Stein, 8;

Wells 1.
the flve-mile handicap for class A
pros" He was on the honor mark
along with Fogler. 1t took these two
stars and the rest of the back men
just one mile and five laps to catch
the limit men. AS usual, there was q
fight for the lap money hut Charles
Schlee. Albert Crebs. Pedlar Palmer
and Walter Bardgett divided the money
fairly even. To add to the excitment
AL Gouliet's rear tire blew out at three
miles. 1t came off the wheel entirely,
but the Australian managed to keep
his balance, and did not fall and cause
a spill. Walter Bardgett opened up a
gap of half a lap on the other riders at
three miles and two laps. Eddie Root,
with Kramer on his wheel. went out
after him and these two soon had
the others up. 1t was this same Ed
die Root. who brought Kramer from al
most nowhere Just before the bell lap.
Fogler also followed Root and Kramer.
as did John Bedell. Kramer was easily
