la 3.Mile Open Champion Jumps
Big Field and Lands
Easy Winner.


TT was a big day; from every angle
you looked at 1t, it was big. The
- crowd. the card and the racing were
everything they could be at the Velo-
drome yesterday.
Never in the history of Newark has
such a crowd turned out to see a
bicycle meet. The estimates varied
anywhere from 1900 to $4,000. You can
s.r,ke u total III between these figures,
say 10, 900, and you will not be far
wrong.
The feature even. of the day was
the three-mile open for professionals.
1t was the kind of race that makes
ordinary fans become bugs, the
flnish got the immense crowd to it's
feet yelling like mad. cheering Frank
Kramer for his wonderful ride.
There being lap prizes offered, the
race was fast from the very start. AL
most from the very first mile Floyd
MacFarland got in front and stayed
there till the last lap, just allowing
lap chasers to get in front Of him.
Lawson, being eliminated early in the
race by a slow puncture, the top-notch-
ers rode in the following order during
the entire race: MacFarland, Hehir,
Clarke, Fred Hill, Kramer and Fogler.
AS they were rounding into the sec
ond turn before the bell kramer
Jumped and started TO get around.
Riding high up on the bank to avoid
tie other riders, he jumred the field,
carrying Fogler with him.
In the second turn Kramer had just
Tapped Macs wheel, Mac" then
being first, when MacFarland, who was
riding low, struck his inner pedal OH
the fiat and was thrown upward
toward Kramer, nearly throwing him.
Only the ability Of these two old riders
to manage their wheels prevented a
spill that would have thrown the whole
field. This threw Mac out Of his
stride and probably prevented him
from getting third or fourth.
Kramer kept on, and the ride he made
made everyone yell. With five good
riders to go around he timed his jump
beautifully, and although Fogler raced
him to the tape, he came in a winner
by a good margin, with Fogler, Paddy
HEIR, Hill and John Bedell in the
order named. Clarke waited too long.
Having Hehir's wheel, he was natur-
ally in the best position, but after Kra-
mer and Fogler Tapped him he was
badly sewed in and could not get out.
Mac protested after the race tina
Kramer cut down on him and that it
was this that made him hit his pedal,
but Referee Bardgett did not allow II.
The motor-paced race between Wiley
and Duer was fine and made everyone
wish It had been longer. At the crack
OF tho gun both started with Duer,
who was paced by Jimmy Hunter,
about ten yards the best Of It. Wiley
seemed contented to trail along for a

cORKMEN'S GAMES SUNDAY.

The annual games of the Corkmen's
p. B. and P. Association will be held
in Celtic Park, Long Island, next Sun
day.
An attractive program will be pre-
scented. and as this popular society did
not hold any affair In Celtic Park in
three seasons, an enormous crowd Of
admirers Is expected to be present to
witness the ladies' race and the foot
ball contests between the teams OF
Kerry and Cork, Kilkenny and Young
Mayo, Louth and Monaghan.
This well-known benevolent society
was organized in 1885. The proceeds Of
its events are used for charitable pur-
poses.

RICE CHESS CLUB TO
GIVE FREE INSTRUCTION

The Rice Chess Club. OF Newark. has
offered a solid silver trophy, with
suitable engraving, as a prize to the
New Jersey Interscholastic Chess aud
Checker League.
The tournament games will be played
by the league at the rooms of the chess
club. at 800 Market street. The club
has also decided, in order to promote
the royal game of chess in this vicinity
to give free instructions to II citizens.
who feel ambitious to learn the game.
There will be two classes. one for be-
ginners and one for little more adj
vanced pupils.
The class teaching will start on the
first Tuesday in September. Applica-
lions may be sent to the secretary OF
the chess club, j. r. Deem, AS Clinton

ward were funny. He tried to get back
with the pole. The management
should fasten those rails more hrnly.
A serious accident might have been the
result II there had beeen any riders
on the track.
LOTUS might be all they say he Is,
but he did not show 1t. He won his
heat, 1t Is true, but 1t was from a lot
of added starters. and he rode it like a
rank novice racing another mar ali
the way and then finishing q bare wheel
TO the good. Maybe he was not used
to the track, but he Will have to show
better than he did yesterday to beat
Blatz or Beyernar.
Saxon Williams said he preferred to
ride in the open miner than in the
invitation, saving that he wanted TO
be sure of some lap money.
The invitation WAS a good race.
Stein seemed to be the logical candi-
date, but he got himself into a bad
hole and could not get out.
The rr1ateurs have a way Of their
own OF eliminating most OF the riders.
Most of them fell during the race, SO
that It leaves a small field, and they
do II regularly, too.
Macs kick did not seem a just one.
Kramer had nothing TO gain by switch
ing hlr. He was going around him
anyway.
Clarke rode a bone-headed race I
am still wondering what he was wait
ing for. He had the position and 1T
was oil his own fault.

TOE McGINN1TY and his Tigers are
in Canada today, starting a swing
around the circuit. It Is a crucial
test for the Bengals. If they do well
on the trip they will have a show TO

pitching staff, where lies the real
weakness of the team, that seems their
fate. 1t is the second division for them
for sure.

Young Kurtz and Billy Lewis are
matched at last. The following letter
from Jimmy Kelly explains 1t all:
NEW YORK. May 5. 1911.
TO the Sporting Editor Of the Evening Star;
Just u few lines letting you know
that the match which was pending SO
long. between Billy Lewis and Young
Kurtz has been arranged, and / must
say that the sporting page of the Eve
ming STAR had a great deal to do with
it. The sporting element Of Newark
has been wanting to see these two
battlers in action for a long time, and
yesterday had my representative,
Lew Raymond. cali on Mr.. Gross, who
is looking out for Kurtz's interests,
n made arrangements for the bout.
The boys viii start training immedi-
ately,. and those who will be lucky
enough TO see the fray will never for
get it. Thanking you for the kind
n fair treatment you have given us,
and trusting that you will be there
when the gong sounds sending he
boys to the entire of the ring at
Browns gymnasium on May %, and
wishing you and the Evening STAR
all the success in the world, I am,
sincerely yours,

RUNS WELL AT
GUTENBERG MEET.

Six athletic events attracted a large
crowd at the old Gutenberg race-track
yesterday, some OF the entries being
among the best men in the East.
The 12o-yard handicap was the crack
event, mainly because Gwyn Henry the
national furlong champion, figured on
the scratch mark. That the Texan is
moving well may be gathered from the
fact that he ran within q yard and a
half of IL rs seconds. He finished IN
third place, the winner being Charles
Mundt, Of the st. Bartholomew A. c.

In his handicap heat Mitten was
thrown. out of his stride by a bad
switch from Wells. but it seemed I'M
intentional. Nevertheless it probably
cost the little fellow the race. as in
that field, he being such a fast starter,
would most certainly have gotten In
the money.
Fog1er was the only back-marker who
seemed TO have a chance to qualis In
the final, IL he got into a bad hole
and could not get through.

You'll be sorry tomorrow, sorry
For the harsh words you said today
You will wish you had waited a little
Till the i'll mood passed away.
You will Rrieve for the friend you
wounded,
But you'll grieve till your heart is sore
When anger set wide the door.
You'll be sorry tomorrow, sorry
That an old face auivered and broke,
As if a blow had struck II.
at the hasty words you spoke.
You'll be low in your mind tomorrow,
That n little child with dread
At the glance of your eye went hurrying
With downcast. dropping head.
Yoij'll be sorry tomorrow. sorry
That YOU played the cowardly part,
That YOU hid In mask of silence
And the hypocrlte,s hatetul arr
For silence is sometimes shameful.
And born of the mean degree.
And IL creeps away at the end OF the day,
To Turk where the mean things be.
For the deed that fears the light.
Oh why wait for the morrow
Ere you give yourself for the right?
Oh. why not summon your manhood.
BE noble and brave today;
There is grace to be had for Galahad,
AS he rides on his perilous way.
Sorry tomorrow? Truly
'Twere better to be content,
And have no guilt TO atone Tor
No wilful sins to repent.
The word the look, the action.
By the help of God may wear
That light of heaven, forever gwen
In the hush of the answered prayer.
