Worlds champion Frank Kramer
triumphed. again over Jackie Clark
in a match race at the Velodrome
yesterday. The race went to Kramer
in straight heats but there was some
doubt as to whether or not the cham
pion won the second and deciding
heat. The judges rendered deci-
zion in favor of Kramer but it ap-
peared to many in the stands who
were opposite the finish line that
Clark wa s at the very least entitled
10 dead heat. There was no doubt
as to the champions superiority yes
terday and he might have won the
last heat by a safer margin had he
started HIS effort sooner. 1t was not
until the middle of the turn into the
homestreto,h that the champion came
out on Clark, who was leading, and
he found 1.-THE Rocket" had more
speed to dispense in the short stretch
than he had! figured.
In the first heat Kramer went to
the front just before the bell and
won by a wheels length. Clark
gave him great fight for the lead
from the start of the last lap until
the head of the backstretch was
reached, when he weakened and fell
in behind the 4champer" While they
raced 81 de by side it reminded one of
the old ways when Clark first rode
here and the battle brought the 5000
spectators to their feet. 1t was good
while it. lasted but the Australian
was unable to hold the outside posi-
ton as long as he did in former
years.
There was considerable jockeylng
in both heats for position and once
Jackie forced Kramer to take the
lead, mneh to the delight of the
crowd. TNnis was the only instance
in which 1.-The Rocket" out-jockeyed
the champion. The first heat of the
match was very fast for the final
eighth, Kramer's time being IL IA
seconds, which Is the track record.
In the two' three-mile open Alfred
Grenda won in the great finish with
Paddy Hehir, ALT Goullet Joe Fogler
and Kramer and Clark. That the big
Tasmanian hasa returned to form was
demonstrated by his mastery ride
in this race and his victory over
Goullet in a match race at Philadel-
phia Saturday night. Granda and
Frank CaVanagh appeared to be on
rather friendly terms, but the for
eigner was so good yesterday he
probably would have won the race
regardless of any assistance from
the Irish Champion"

The haif-mle handicap furnished
the best race of the day and in this
race there were number of combi-
nations. liver Lawson was the win

Goullet, the scratch man, second and
Grenda, with a mark of 10 yards,
shird. At the twelfth pole Jokus,
Lawson, Goullet and Grenda were
riding abreast and they whirled
