pion Frank Kramer at the Nelo-
l. drome yesterday beat his nearest
rival, Jackie Clarke, for all honors In
both the open and the two-team match
race in "A most decisive manner.
The team rae was everything it
promised TO be, and every one of the
5000 fans who was present went away
satisfied with the days sport. Kramer
won the match in straight heats.
In the second heat he got ilrst IN a
manne hat brought everyone up
standing. MacFarland and Clarke en-
gineered a neat trick In this heat-a
trick that would have won from any
other mar in the world but Kramer.
When they started off they rode for
the first four laps in the following
order: Fem. Kramer, Clarke and Mac
Farland. 1t was not apparent how
Mac" was helping his partner in this
neal until the sprint started, two laps
from home. Although they were high
up on the bank. Clarke did not duck
down TO the pole, but started his
sprint going around outside, with
Mac" tackled on. Fem. seeing him
self Tapped, went" with Kramer on
his wheel.
Here 1t was seen what the big Gail
fornian had up his sleeve. With all of
them riding outside, Clarke alongsi1e
of Fem and Mac" alongside of
Kramer. the champion was as nicely
pocketed as could be. with apparently
no chance at all. This position was
held till about 100 yards after the bell,
when the champ decided that, since he
could not get around. he had better
try to get through. Backing up and
riding high in the back stretch into the
turn, he started a sprint that was
rarely equalled anywhere. With SEEM
ingly no chance al all from a bad
position he went with everything in
him, and just nipped the Australian at
the tape by about a nalf wheels
length.
The first heat was different. Fem
rode such a race that Mac" If he In
tended any tricks, had no chance to
play them. Willie was seen to I'd
vantage here, being an important fac
tor In Kramer's victory. After they
had gone one lap Fem jumped and
made Jackie chase him, with Kramer
on his wheel. In an effort, apparently.

slowed up after a lap, and maintained
that position till two laps from home.
when MacFarland started the trouble.
From last position he dived down TO
the pole, Clarke lacking on. Fem
went alongside, having Frank on his
wheel, where the champ" seemed sat
isied to stay. Whatever was intended
here by Mac was spoiled by Fenn's
speed. He cut out such an awful
squirt that Mac" seeing that Clarke
could not get through from inside,
dropped down to the fiat. letting his
partner In on Franks wheel. In this
position they rode at a Misunderstanding
pace till they were nearing the twelfth
pole, where Fem dropped down, let
ting his partner go 1t alone. Frank
kept flying. and, going into the home
stretch from the turn, he shook Jackie
off, and Clarke sat up.

Motor-PAced Race Not So Good.
The motor-paced race did not furnish
