Frank Kramer is gentle fellow in
nearly every way. yet he is vicious
in defeat When you beat Kramer
you touch his heart. and when his
heart is touched beware! Goullet Is
great little cyclist and he can
show his heels to most of the boys
most of the time and to Kramer
some of the time-when the breaks
are his and when the help is
abundant But out-and-out, side-by
side, with even a slight advantage
in Goullet's favor the great Amer

CARGO.
We watched with much attention
the quarter-mile championship race
at the Velodrome yesterday after
noon, and We were more convinced
than ever that Kramer is better than
ever. He had Goullet and Joe Fogler
and Frank Cavanagh to beat in the
final heat. and how he accomplished
his task would have to be seen to be
appreciated Kramer had to be much
the best to win, because he got away
third and was forced to ride around
Goullet and Fogler to win. This he
did, but only after one of those ia
nous rides for which he is noted.
G
Kramer was speed marvel and
he had to be. Goullet got off first
and Kramer should have been second,
but Battling Joe" Fogler, who Is
always showing a particular friendly
feeling to Goullet, rammed down on
Kramer and took the position away
from the champion. So Kramer had
to be content with third. Cavanagh

could come out and win with only
twelfth of a mile to go, but the cham

his bid and he made it with such a

possessed and then he only beat the

was only foot or so away. 1t was
wonderful race and brought forth
tremendous cheers. Kramer smiled
his best foreign smile and was as
happy as lark afterward. He COM
planned of the tactics used by Fogler
at the start of the race and the
"Battler" shrewdly kept out of the
argument. Referee Ross called Jo-

form. Granda figured to win, but
Clark. who is displaying excellent
judgment this season, easily defeated
his countryman. Grenda got the
pace at the beginning of the race
and held 1t all the way With two
laps to go, the pacemakers quit, leav-
ing Grenda in front He stalled for
another lap and just as he came into
the homestretch on the bell lap Clark
jumped him and rode to the front
Jackie had so much speed that he
opened up a gap of five lengths, which
he held to the stretch, when Grenda
raced almost up to him. Grenda
used poor Judgment, and he wasted
much strength in picking up the

day it would have been a hard job
to beat him in a hard race.

Clark rounded into form rather
suddenly yesterday. He complained
of being sick and asked Mr.. Million

cuse him from riding the match
