William J. Kramer. OF the Long Island
Athletic Club. raced to an impressive VIC
tory in the Diamond meet OF the Mohawk
Athletic Club in the 22d Regiment Armory
last night. Kramer won by more than
lap and quarter in % minutes AS sec
ouds. The record for the distance Is "a
minutes 50 2-5 seconds, and IL was the con-
sensus OF opinion that had the Long Island
boy been extended in the last half mile,
he would have bettered the present stand
ard by several seconds at least. Arthur
Roth. Of the Mohawk Club, was second
from the 175- yard mark, and Martin Huyes-
man. OF the Irish-American Club, trailed
I'm third
The track measured 176 yards to the lap
and Kramer started one yard in front of
the limit men. who made up the entire field,
with the exception of Huyesman, who ran
! from the lO0-yard mark. For the first mile
Kramer ran back in tho bunch, and was
timed passing the post in 4:is 2-5. In the
second mile he heightened out In his stride
and moved down the distance. Close on
the heels of the pack he strode by the two
mile mark in 9:5l 4-5,
The fast pace told on the less hardy ath-
letes and one by one they quit the race,
but the Long Island man seemed to Inn
prove, and at three miles he had passed
all but scant few in 1i:55. He took COM
mand at four miles in 20:03 2-5, and, once
In the lead. was never in danger of being
even so much as challenged. The crowd
Of enthusiastic rooters, who follow MIN
around from meet to meet clamored FOR
new record. Kramer put OH the last ounce
OF power in the last three laps, but he was
! running without pace and was unable 10
break the old mark.
The first heat of the match bicycle race
between Eddie Goodwin. OF the Irish
American Athletaic Club, end William van
den Dries. Of the New York Athletic Club
at one mile was marred by an unavoidable
foul. which resulted in the disqualification
Of Van den Dries. The men rode three laps,
Goodwin slightly 10 the fore. The pace
gradually grew faster until the New York
man tried to jump Goodwin on the Broad
way turn. The latter answered the chal-
longc. and, wheel to wheel, the men swept
around the turn. While trying to straight
en out for the dash down the straightaway
Van den Dries accidentally ran into Good
wins sDrocl<et.
The Irish rider at once Strengthened up
and quit the race amid a storm of hisses
from the spectators who had not seen any
foul committed. Van den Dries continued
TO ride, and was cheered to the echo at
each revolution OF the track.
In the absence OF Mr.. Kelsey. Of the
National Cyclist Association, W. l.. Jones
acted as referee and ordered the race re-
ridden. Van den Dries at first agreed to
ride, but when the time came he refused
TO take the track. His refusal TO race
aroused the ire of the little Irishman, who
offered 10 let Van den Dries have the first
heat II he would race the second. Which
was TO be al two miles. Van den Dries was
firm in his decision. Goodwin, after riding
an exhibition mile, was awarded the prize
