TN winning the third of a series of
three races in straight heats from
Jackie Clarke at the Nelodrome
yesterday afternoon, Frank Kramer did
not over surprise those who have wit
messed the pair fighting it out for su-
premacy of late. 1t was good chance
for Kramer to prove his superiority
over the little fellow from Australia
when they came through on the home
stretch, and the East Orangeite had all
that was necessary and more, too. to
lead the way home. He won in two
straight heats. the first by close mar
gin, but in his second the East Orange
boy finished sitting up.
The supreme confidence of Clarke and
Floyd MacFarland that the former was
capable of beating Kramer in the final
test because of the performance of the
Sunday previous brought out big
army of fans. 1t was not as large a
crowd as was present the preceding
week. however.
A pacemaker led the two around in
the one-mile heats, and just about
warmed the men up for the grind on
the stretch that meant the honors. and
each watched every move of the other
with care lest a sudden trick was
turned AS usual Kramer showed the
keener in judgment and apparently
master at every stage. His moves were
picturesque, and when the opportune
moment arrived to be tactful, the
national champion was there.
MacFarland started his usual kid

When Clarke came on the track he re-
ceived modest welcome, but it was
different when Kramer came towards
the tape, for there was considerable
cheering. Kramer made an ineffectua
effort to jolly MacFarland in front OF

fist towards the back of the East Or

The First Heat.
Martin Ryan was selected as the
pacemaker. Not many were acquainted
with Martin, who passes under the
nickname of Grassy" Martin was
unable to produce the speed that would
worry class A man in the first heat
but in the second he went faster
Clarke set out to take the pace ol
Ryan in the first heat and Kramer
tackled on behind him. There was q
look of determination in Kramer's facf
that eclipsed the expression of las
week The two went around the track
with a fine stride. Kramer with his
two sore fingers. which were burned
somewhat last week when he got clost
to burning gasoline while tinkerinl
with his auto, was able to grip hi'
handlebars well enough, though the
whisper was going around that HI
could not get the proper hold.
Around the track the two went with
some speed when left alone by Ryar
to fight it out in the final lap. Kramei
bent over with his usual hump" anC
it was easily evident that he was goint
to win out at the tape when they nearet
the final turn. Kramer likes to bes
his man from the rear, and although
Clarke rode in steady style he had no
the ability to give the final "kick," q
which Kramer is a master, and th'
East Orangeite crossed the tape mrs
with two inches to spare. The tint
was minutes 3-5 seconds.
The Second.
Mr.. Ryan was the pacemaker for th'
| second heat also, and this time III
brought the men around at a somewha
faster pace. 1t was in this heat tina
Frank threw a surprise into botf
Clarke and mcfarland. APPARENT,
just to show the fans what he could d.
Kramer made a jump after passing th'
first turn in the final lap, instead O
waiting for the turn on the stretch
where be makes his final squirt, ant
showed Clarke the way. 1t was quit'
a spurt but the game little Clarke go
after Kramer.
They swung along the course in fin'
shape for the big ending. and Clarke
crept up closer, but Kramer just want
ed to show who was the master, ant
allowed Clarke to get nearer. but there
never was any doubt as to the one
who was going over the finish mari
first. Kramer had his rival under
cover Of eye when they came to the
stretch, and keeping just far enough
away so as he couldn't surprise any.
