saucer-shaped track at 1905 o'clock
this morning.
Down in the box seats, where it costs
81 to sit, society was represented.
Many of the fair sex" and they came
further than Fifth venue enjoyed the
start.
One familiar feature was missing
the parade of the contestants before
the start.
The entire fifteen teams were tied
at the end of the first hour. Each had
ridden "a miles and 6 laps, which Is
s laps behind the record. The riders
were still 8 laps behind the record at
the second hour. They had made 4S
miles and l lap.
A notable feature of this weeks race
is the advent of riders new to the six
day game. Ryan, C%avanaugh and Ma
gin. all local lads, were the two who
started in their initial long grind,
The only change in the garden his
year is in the steep bank saucer at both
ends. The entertainments are not 50
long as previously, and there is an al
ley all the way round the track, which
makes it more convenient for one TO
get 10 his seat.
Frank Kramer's superiority as a
sprint champ was shown when he
completely outcla ssed Jackie Clark, the
Australian Rocket, and Willie Lorenz,
the German Splinter, IN the interna-
i. J tional match race Saturday night, IN
straight heats. Lorenz was out OF it
completely.
Jimmy Moran, Kramer's parner in
the six-day event, beat Elmer Col
/. Inns in a fve-mile motor race Satur-
! day night. The latter was greatly
handicapped by a puncture in the early
part Of the race.
Fifteen teams s%prlnted for sixty
minutes.
There is no doubt but that up to

Jackie" Clarke was the kid" to
furnish excitement. He came near
starting trouble when he made a fake
attempt of getting away.

Kramer in the first nights work
showed no i'll effects. and there are
many who are willing to wager that
he viii win hands down.
Willie Lorenz and Karl saldow loom
up great. Both are hard workers and
willing to make a hard race of the
grind.

In many sections of the crowded gar
den.
Octav Lapiae, of France, and Cyril
Van Houwaert, while up with the band
all the while, do not loom up strong,
They have that tired way of riding.

may do many unexpected things before
the week is over.
Thomas F. Foley. former sheriff,
looked natural when he pulled the trig-
ger that started the men on the six
days jsunt.
The men in the gallery started eat
ing from their large lunch baskets long
before the race. When that gives out
the sale of hot dogs" ought to be
brisk.
Moran is very careful of his money.
Everyone knows that when lie I'M
dressed i'll his training quarters he gave
lack Neville S17 in bills and 1898 in
change and told Jack to be careful
of it and noted the amount on a piece
of paper. He forgot the note and left

Kramer had a smile on his face but
he did not look very happy. When he
took his clothes off and someone sug-
gested putting them in a trunk where
they would be well pressed" during the
week ne looked a bit sad.
