The Pooh Bah of the bicycle game,
I Frank Kramer, a little difficulty IN
winning the one-mile open at tho Velo-
drome from a classy field and in very
cool atmosphere last night. The win
ner did not even have to extend him
self, for on the home-stretoh he turned
around and saw that his nearest COM
petitor was Paddy Hehir, who In a
sprint could never beat the Pooh Bah.
Alvin Lotus was the hero Of the
amateur, winning in a romp from a
classy but chilled field. The tandem
race proved to be real exciting, and
Ernie Pye showed that he is not a
dead one behind the chug-chug ma
chine.
In the final Of the only open event
for the professionals at one mile the
fast ones were lined up. Kramer.
Clarke, Goullet, Iver Lawson, Peter
Drobach, Togler and Root were all on
the mark. Kramer shot to the front.
and carried the train around at a very
slow pace. For three laps he remained
In front, when Drohachl started out.
Clarke was In fifth position. and was
content 20 remain there until the bell
lap. When the gong sounded the men
jumped for position. Tho Pooh Bah
shot TO the front, followed by Hehir
and Clarke. Clarke tried to get by
Hehir, but this was not to be. fer
Hehir was there with q delayed sprint
and the best that Clarke could finish
was third. Eddie Root was also riding
In form. and nosed out ALI Goullet. the
man who has given SO much assistance
to the formation OF good teams.
The motor-paced race between Ernip
Pye and George Wiley was won by tho
former by over a lap. Pye showed
that he had ''class' when It comes 10
this style of racing. and after tho
second mile, when he gained almost
half a lap, was lever in danger.
The two-mile handicap tandem race
was the event that kept the blood OF
the fans In circulation. Fogler and
Root, with Mltten and DeMara, were
on the honor post. Freddie Keefe and
Ben Hill had a handicap Of 200 yards.
The men were away to a good start,
after several futile attempts, and set
a merry clip. Fogler and company. by
elegant exchanging of pace, soon
caught the Bedell brothers and Hal
stead and Drobach. The men with tho
handicaps kept on going, and were
never in danger. With two laps to go
Root and Fogler shot ahead, but could
not get up their position in the wind
up, being fourth. The two-mile handi-
cap for the professionals was a hum
mer, and, although the backmarkers
caught the men with the handicaps or
the last laps, they were unable to get
around and be placed. Floyd MacBer-
land, who rode his first race since his
suspension, was of great assistance a
bringing the men to the front. Kramer
and Clarke rode from scratch with
Gou1let, but did not finish in the
money. Freddie Hill won in a blanket
finish from David Maekey.
The three-mile opei, for the anna
tours, with a lap prize. was the goods.
Cav nagh and LOTUS pulled away
from the bunch, and in a sprint around
the track Lotus won by almost ten
yards, Donald McDougalI. the little
lad who has caused q sensation for the
past two weeks. was a good third.
Edward Reiss, better known as
Pedlar Palmer's white hope, won no
half-mile handicap for the simon pures.
He rode from the seventy -five-yard
mark, and remained in front all the
while. Edward Schooner, with the same
handicap, was a good second.
