FriOI Shows Great
Skill Beating Grenda
Careful in First Heat, Just Nipping ALT at

!, these riders finishing lengths ahead of
| Pete Drobach and John .Bedell, who
| finished third and fourth, respectively.
Starting the last lap Grenda was
leading, with Drobach on his wheel,
and, with the latter to ''stalr' it
| looked as though Kramer, who was In
| third position, might have consider
| able trouble in heading the flying
| Tasmanian, but he went early, and,
| after a long, hard sprint on the back
stretch, got on even terms with him.
He had to fight, however, all around
| the last turn, and was leading Grenda
by less than three feet as he crossed
| the tape. Kramer vas in rare form.
He showed this when he shook John
| Bedell off his wheel when he started
| to go around Drobach and Grenda.
| John had settled down nicely for q
''sleighride'' into possibly second
| place, but, to the establishment of
| those who know Johns ability as a
''%sleighrider," he was not equal to the
J task.
Motor Race Great.
The motor-paced race last night
a a bear. 1t was by far the best
race behind ''choo choos'' seen In
| many easons Young Clarence Car
men, of Jamaica, Long Island, was
| the winner, but il took three heats to
| down little George Wiley. who fought
him every inch of the way. One of
the features of the race was the pac-
ing of Daredevil Jimmy Hunter, and
to Hunter belongs much of the credit
for Garments victory. Hunter gave
an absolutely perfect exhibition Of
pacing, and had he been pacing Wiley
the result would have been reversed.
Hunters pickup of Carmen in the
third heat vas the prettiest piece of
work ever seen in a paced race.
Menus Bedell complained that his
motor was acting badly and was re-
sponsible for his defeat. And Charley
Turville, the daddy of the pace
makers, claimed that Hunter rode
with the reckless abandon of an in
vitation rider. HE switched me and
ran me high when l tried to go by,
and he deliberately knocked Wiley
off from behind the machine" was
the wall of Turville after the race.
At the present tipe there is more

Amateur Races.
The two-mile invitation handicap
went to Jumbo Wells, who rode a
good race from scratch, and the two
mile open invitation was won by
Pete Drobach after a rough ride in
which he threw Wells and several
other riders. Norman Anderson, who
went down in the spill, received a
bad shaking up and decorations on
face and body.
Coming from nowhere, Gus Wolrab
pulled one of his famous jumps and
romped home to victory in the two
mile open for amateurs. Donald Mac
Dougall. the local star, was in poor
form and failed to show.
The handicap was too much for
the backmarkers in the half-mile
amateur handicap, and they never
headed the boys in front. Jack Civ
lin. of San Francisco, won this
event.
Friol will now rest for his match
with Frank Kramer, which will take
place next Wednesday. He will not
coinpcte Ut tHe FeiouTOine sunday
unless put on in a special event. The
Frenchman is more than anxious to
complete his round of triumphs with
a victory over the great American
champion.
There is a big program on for Sun
day, however, and all of the stars.
