BILLY KRAMER OUT FOR GOOD
Olympic Cross Country Star Has In
jured Tendon.

Mike Murphy said that Billy Kra-
mer, the cross country runner, would
never run again, owing TO injury
Of the tendon Of Achilles. According
to Murphy, Kramer received his in
jury by running on the deck of the
Finland without the proper massage
after his exercise. The training facili-
ties were such that some OF the ath-
letes had TO go without the necessary
amount Of attention, and Kramer was
one Of those who unfortunately had to
suffer as a result Of this lack OF ac-
commodatiOns.
Murphy cites the fact that all the
races In which Kramer tried to enter
at the Olympic games proved that he
could not do himself justice. for after
running part OF the distance his ten
dons stiffened up on him to such an
extent that he could hardly move a
muscle after he had used his leg for
little time. Examination has re-
vealed the fact that there is a con
traction Of the ligament that even
surgery cannot remedy.

London Club Formed In Attempt TO
Raise Standards Of the Sport.
With the object of raising light har-
ness racing to the high standing pre-
vailing in the United States. the Lon
don Trotting club has been organized
Although the number of trotting
meetings In the United Kingdom has
never been large, some of them have
given the sport an unSavory reputation
by indulging In practices which have
been practically barred from American
tracks. Even the professional racing
for stakes does not furnish race records
comparable with matinee racing in
America, and the projectors Of the new
club are as anxious to raise this stand
ard as they are to make the racing
clean.
The club has adopted many of the
latest rules In light harness racing and
will insist on their observance. The
system Of penalties and suspensions
which prevailed under the old Trotting
union Of Great Britain will be revived
and enforced.
The style Of starting has been re-
modelled and all horses will be re-
quired TO be sent off from behind
tapes. The track will be closed to
horses that are late In answering the
starters bell, thereby obviating the
delays which have made the sport
unpopular with spectators. A new
body of stewards has been appointed
and it will operate under fresh set
Of racing rules.
