KRAMER-CLARkE
BATTLE IS To Be
RESUMED SUNDAY
Great Riders Meet in Three
mile Handicap and Should
Surely Get Into the Final in
the 0ne-mile National Cham
piOnship.

A mixed card has been arranged for
Sunday at the velodrome. There are
six races on the program, five of
them being sprint races and one a
mutor-paced event.
The sprint races are a one-mile
national championship professional
three-mile handicap professional, one
mile handicap amateur.) three-mile
open amateur and a two-mile novice
race.
The motor-paced event will be at
ten miles with three starters, Percy
Lawrence, Walter De Mara and Ray
Duer.
Frank Kramer and Jackie Clarke is
still on, this great pair will meet again
In two races Sunday. They will start
together from scratch in the three
mile handicap and they are almost
certain to line up again In the one-
mile national championship. The con-
ditions in the final of the champion
ship will probably be exactly the
same as in the finish of the big six
hour race on the Fourth, that is,
Goullet, Fogler, Kramer and Clarke
WILL no doubt, be lighting 1t out again
1T the finish and it will be very inter-
esting to see how this quartet will per-
form.
There is a chance of these riders
falling into the same positions again,
as In the finish of the six-hour race,
and they may flash across the tape il
the same order. If they do then Ref
cree Bardgett will be placed in a
ticklish position. He will have to
render a decision and it is almost GER
tain that whatever his verdict may
be there win be an awful howl from
either the Kramer or the Clarke fol-
lowers.
Kramer will try to win and so will
Clarke, and whether or not Clarke was
teaming on the Fourth he will surely
not be teaming in the race Sunday, and
If the same angle comes up and he wins
it is going to give the race a bad look.
On the other hand, if Kramer should
happen to get Goullet's wheel n the
latter srrints a lap and a half then
the champ goes out on the back stretch
and wins, Their Clarke will claim that
Goullet and Kramer were teaming.
There is going to be q lot of fun sun
day, and, while hundreds of fans held
up both hands and chirped never
again." after Clarke was DISQUALIFIED
on the Fourth, it's a million to one
they will all be there again Sunday.
The championship is going to be a
great race, regardless of what the ref
cree may do at the conclusion of the
event. Clarke is every bit as good as
Kramer right now, and will make a
great effort to TAKE the lead In the race
for the title.
Clarke is only nine points behind the
champion. and this lead is far from a
safe M for ten-times champion. II
Clarke can win three straight inc the
champ runs second in two and third
in one they will be on wen terms. In
his present form Clarke has a fine
chance to accomplish this.
In the motor-paced match, which is
the other star attraction on the bill,
three very evenly matched riders will
meet. Percy Lawrence, who is very
popular locally. viii make his first ap-
pearance here as a pace-follower.
Percy has ridden three races behind
the motors and has one victory and
two seconds to his credit. He defeated
Elmer Collins and George Wiley in his
maiden effort and beat Collins in his
other two races.
De Mara has quite a reputation as a
pace-follower, and defeated some of
the best men in Europe during his re-
cent racing expedition abroad. Duer,
the Californian, has nae hard luck in
every contest he has started in since he
came East. but he is riding in fine
form, however, and II things break
right will give a good account of him
self.
