A MOTORCYCLIST
TAKES BAD SPILL
George Kramer Injured in a
Tryout for the Races
Here on the Fourth.

Nothing short of miracle was the
remarkable escape from death of
George Kramer. a motorcycle driver
when his machine swerved. leaped in
TO the fence at the Richmond Driving
association, and hurled him 40 feet in-
TO the weeds, yesterday afternoon, in
practice race, for the motorcycle
meet, which will take place Tuesday
afternoon. Kramer, a pressman at
the King Printong company. received a
badly sprained wrist. was cut up badly
and it is doubtful whether he will be
able TO enter the Fourth OF July meet.
Kramer was coming down the home
stretch at nearly sixty miles per hour
in heavy twin cylinder Excelsior
power engine. close in his wake. Baker
was pressing him, and Kramer looked
around. The second Kramer turned
his head his front wheel slipped and
he lost control of the machine and it
collided with the fence, a small section
OF which was torn down. Kramer
was sent spinning through the grass.
Baker shot by, missing him by "A foot.
Witnesses to the accident held their
breath as Kramer went through the
enclosure and then dashed to him eX-
pecting TO find him dead. He was
conscious when several members of
the club picked him up. He was TAX
en- to his home. He declares he will
ride on the Fourth. regardless of his
sprained wrist. Baker claims that all
that saved Kramer was the turn OF
his machine into the fence. for, he
says, SO close was his machine he

Trial Handicap Race.
There were no other accidents in the
tryouts held yesterday. There was a
crowd of spectators and enthusiasm
ran high when the trial handicap race
started with Is entries. Most of these
finished. There was an average of 40
for the mile. The best time caught
was Ley. None of the machines was
let out" yesterday but there was little
doubt that many OF them could have
made the distance in minute.
On the Fourth members of the club
claim they are going to do the mile in
under a minute, There is considerable
danger attached to high speeding on
the local track because of the small
degree of the banked turns. The
curves are ON the As foot scale. but
