GOOD BOUTS AT
TROXLER'S TONIGHT

With Sailor Davis and Leo Baker as
the star performers tonight at the
Central institute it should be the
means of attracting a record-break-
ing crowd. The boys are without
doubt the best lightweights in this
State. and as both are anxious to
show their supremacy a rafting go
should be the result.
Young Happy and Jackie Dobbs,
two Newark boys, will clash in one
of the semi-inals. In the other
Young Carney meets Young Cooper.
Otto Stahl and Young Kirley will
appear in n of the preliminaries;
in the other bouts Young Brady, the
Bloomfield slasher. smeets Battling
Handler.
Young Katz and Battling Dukes
viii also show their skill as mitt
artists. The opening bout will bring
together Young Kenlein and Young
White.

In two of the Class A heats he

is in a class by himself as much as
Kramer is among the pros.
And Kramer demonstrated his right
to be called the king again yesterday
when in the team race he came from
behind in the second and third heats
and beat out such riders az Friol.
Dupuy, Grenda and Pye. Grenda won
the first heat after Kramer and Dro-
bach had been pocketed by the
French team.
In the second heat Kramer and
Drobach took the lead with two heats
still to go, and by splendid riding
stalled off a mad rush made by Friol
in the last lap. Grenda was a poor
third in his heat. The third heat was
never in doubt, Kramer going to the
front when he pleased and winning
handily.
The most popular win of the day
was that of Benny Hill. the veteran
Newark rider. in the half-mile pro-
fessional handicap. Hill was the limit
man in the race with 100 yards handi-
cap, and he Kept out in front all the
time. Jay Eaton, the Elizabeth speed
merchant, made valiant efforts to
catch him in every heat, but could
not quite get up.
With Clarence Carmen out of the
mctor-paced race it did not possess
the usual interest, and at times ii
was absolutely uninteresting. George

arrival was Brown, who has here
tofore been riding in the amateur

the Glass B ace and then rode q
close second to Johnny King, beating
out such redoutable veterans as Carl

There were many thrills in the

ed, the four riders riding all abreast
at times. Johnny King at n time
had to ride high on the black line
to pass the rest, and the crowd held
its breath as he hung there a mo-
ment in a precarious position and
then swooped down in the lead.
In the fve-mile handicap profess
sional f~ootrace, Billy Queal, the only
scratch man, made a brilliant snow
ing. Starting two laps behind the
leaders he set a terrific pace till he
had made up his handicap. Then
he kept passing the field and finished

handicaps made it highly interesting.
