NOBODY TAKES REVENGE
ON KRAMER THOUGH THE
FRENCHMAN COMES CLOSE
Perchicot Thought by Many to Have Won
from Worlds Champion--Race with
McDOugall and Five-mile Proves Easy
for East Orange Rider.

Perchicot did appear to be a sure
winner, but in the last few yards OF
the race Kramer, by a heroic effort,
drew up on even terms and jumped
his front wheel across the tapein what
appeared to be a dead heat. 1t was q
great race and a wonderful finish.
Big ALT Grenda was lost sight Of
in the magnificent dual between
Perchicot and Kramer. but the Aus
tralian, who lost many yards when
the leaders jumped, put up a grand
race from the rear, and coming
strong at the finish was within a
half wheel of the winner when the
tape was crossed. Although beaten
Grenda put up the best sprint he
has shown here this season.
Kramer Kind to McDoug gall.
The finishes in the Kramer-Mc-
Dougall match were both close, and
it was a pretty race. but this was
largely due to the kindness of the
professional champion. Kramer was
| plainly far superior to the ~youngster,
and 1t was only through the generos-
ity of the professional king that
Little Mac made such a good
showing. Kramer did not want to
| show him up. and he rode a safe race
and just fast enough to win. The
feature of this race was the jockey
ing of the amateur champion. To
McDougall goes the credit of being
the first rider who ever forced Kramer
to go to the front. For five full min
utes both riders stood still, and
Kramer, who was in front, was final
ly froced to take the lead. The anna
/ teur was loudly cheered for his un-
looked for cunning.
In the fve-mile open Kramer won
as he pleased and ran away from the
entire field with the exception OF
Walter De Mara, who sleighrided
into second place. Grenda was badly
pocketed when Kramer jumped. and
for a lap was unable to get out OF
the bunch that had him completely
surrounded. He came strong when
he finally emerged and ran fifth.
The pace in this race was too fast
for Perchicot, who dropped out five
laps from the finish. Gardellin, the
crack Italian. who was expected to
show to advantage in this event, went
out on the first mile, when one OF
his tires punctured.
GardeIlin.
Gardellin rode a grand ace in ths
one-mile open and won after a hard
fight that lasted for a lap n a
quarter, with Floyd Krebs. the New
ark Dutchman. and Albert Crebs, OF
Salt Lake, giving the Italian a royal,
battle. s.
Through a long series of tire diff
culties the worlds paced champions
ship revenge did not materialize into
the good race that was expected.

paced champion, won, with Jules
Rudolph. the French rider. second,

race for amateurs, and Fred Nor
gauer, of Cleveland, and Harry Kais-
err. OF the Bronx, rode a dead heat In
the three-mile amateur handicap.
Emil Friol, the great French rider
was sick, and did not compete In the
races. The foreigner is confined to
his bed and is under the care of q
physician. Friols non-appearancs
caused some disappointment. The re-
peated calls for Friol in the fourth
heat of the mile open showed the
great popularity the Frenchman has
won here. 2
