KRAMER AND COLLINS MUST RIDE
TO BEAT FIELDS in THEIR RACES
All the Cracks in Fine Fettle for
the VeIodrome Meet
Tonight.

"H HE two national champions in
the sprint and behind pace, re-
spectively, have their work cut
out for them tonight at the regular
weekly meet which is to be held on
the Velodrome saucer. Frank Kramer,
the American sprint title holder, Will
have to ride in record time If he ex-
poets to win the miss n out" pace
for the money-chasers Of the class A
rank, while Elmer Collins, who is the
best in chasing the motors, will have
to go at top-notch speed If he wants
to finish first in the six-cornered match
motor-paced race. The above races
are the two feature events on tonight's
card. The mile repechage for the class
B riders and the mile open for the
simon pures should also be good races.
The motor race should be a corker
from the start, as it will bring together
a classy bunch of pace followers who
promise to make it exceedingly hot for
Collins. The men in this rae besides
the champion will be Frank ]. Calvin,
George Wiley, Clarence Carman, Peter
Drobach and Carlo Vanoni. The race
will be a fifteen-mile affair with three
me to ride for the prizes, as heats
are to be at five miles each, to decide
which will ride in the final heat. The
men will draw to determine their op-
ponents in the heats. The winners of
the three heats win then meet in the
final. Calvin is to make his debut as
a pace follower at the local track. The
way Drobach has been riding behind
the machines in practise it looks as if
the others will have to do some tall
hustling to win out, Vanoni and Car
man have also done some classy riding
behind the motors and have reeled off
some fast miles. Wiley is put for re-
venge and wants to score a clean-cut
victory over Collins at the local track.
The miss and OUT should furnish
some lively racing, as it will be a con
tinual sprint from the start. The rac
will finally hoil down to a match race
between the last two men, who will
fight 1t out for first place. 1t will be
the first race of its lind held this sea-
son at the track. The conditions of the
event call for the last man over the
tape at the completion of each lap to be

JAIL AVIATORS,
SAYS INJURED NOVICE.

NEW YORK, July 2o.-Joseph
Stephenson, novice aviator. barely
escaped death In an a~eroplane accident
on the Hampstead Plain aviation field
last evening. He had only made a
short run when his machine shot up
fifteen or twenty feet, and 1t looked
for a second as II 1t would turn turtle,
but, instead, 1t careened and hit the
ground on the left wing.
The machine was badly smashed,
and Stephenson vas stunned and
pinioned under the wreckage. He was
taken to the Mineola Hospital, but II
was found that his injuries amounted
to only cuts on the left side of the
face and a strained ankle. After he
had recovered from the shock he said:
ANY man who wants to drive one OF
those things ought to be locked up. 1t

To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star. :
In reading the questions in you3
column of recent date l saw a roast
from a fan in regard to Mr.. Casey
and his Professionals (the pets of the
City League. L agree with his judg-
ment as we'll as do a number of City
League fans. l am a follower of the
Parkview team and think that they
are treated unfairly. At the begin
ming Of the schedule of the league
this year I saw an article In your
paper that no class A players would
be allowed to play on any team in the
league, a reason for which Mailing
was not allowed to play on above
team. 1. In the Parkview-Bay View
game Wolf, a class A player, pitched
and won for Bay View. 2. Parkview-
Ironside game, Pfanmiller, a class A
player, won for the latter team by
his pitching and with the help of Mr..
Umpire. Both of these players have
not pitched another game in the
league since above games. The man.
ager of the Parkviews protested the
first game and lost, but not the second
game. Why? Well, what is the use,
the board of directors would not favor
him because 1t would hurt Mr.. Casey's
team, who, by the way, seems to run
the league. Please give our opinion
of above. I am, A READER.
Your statement are so
that we shouldn't publish your letter,
but just to let the public know what
kind of 'rooters'' the City League
teams have We'll print the missive
and show you where you're wrong.
In the first place. Kid Mailing was
not barred from the City League; the
rule was not retroactive. Ernie Wolf
was not a class A player when he
pitched for the Wheelmen. He wal
the property of the Danville Virginia
League Club. You wouldn't call a
man playing In the Eastern League On
an optional agreement a major league
a Pfanmiller has not played in
the Eastern League for at least three
years. You are very wise. There Is
no board of directors in the City
League. Mr.. Casey was within the
rules of the league playing Pfanmil-
Ter. Get your facts straight before
you make such a chump out of your
self. Manager Thoret withdrew his
protest at the City League meeting
as soon as he learned VOLTS status.

Without a dissenting vote, the
City Council yesterday instructed the
city attorney to prepare an ordinance
to prevent boxing exhibitions and SPAR
ring contests.
Vernon. the unique community which
is practically surrounded by Los
Angeles, will in all probability be the
scene of boxing contests, such as the
Council here proposes to prohibit.
Vernon, while frequently appealed
to, has always opposed becoming part
of Los Angeles, and its affairs are in
the hands of a board of trustees. 1t
is here that forty-five-round contests
have been staged, and now, while the
~anti-boxing spirit appears to be NOV

ing 1t with some degree of satisfaction.
1t is fairly certain that the town will
welcome contests as conducted under
the State law.

To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star;
One would think that the steadily
decreasing attendance at the games of
the Montclair A. A. would arouse the
club management.
The trouble is that the club puts up
a very e~rratic, uncertain and frequently
a very ~listless brand of baseball.
About two years ago they had plenty
of life and go. Then Reeves, who vas
pitching good ball, started to pitch ais
on Sundays, and he saved himself in
his Montclair Saturday games and it
spoiled these games.
Last year Montclair had several
pitchers and did poorly. This year they
started better, with iced pitching, but
since iced began to pitch on Sundays
also he had been saving himself in the
Saturday games and is spelling the
games, just as Reeves did. If this
isn't stopped and some changes made

His family looked for him this
afternoon for several hours, and when
he could not be found searching
party left town at 1880 p. m. to look
for him. About half an hour later he
was found in the woods, his horse
hitched to a tree nearby. He had
apparently been dead several hours.
The cause of his death at present
is unknown, there being no wounds
visible. Nothing definite will be
known until the autopsy is perform
