KRAMER COMES IN AHEAD

The final heat of the two-mile ma
tional championship professional, the
feature of the racing bill at the Vel
odrome last night, was more or less
Of a farce. Champion Frank Kramer,
Alfred Grenda and Jackie Clarke
were the final contenders, and they
finished in the order named. One
could call 1t a team match They
didn't really team. but punctures put
Clarke and Fogler out in such a way
as to allow Kramer and Grenda to
finish alone, and, of course, the title
holder had little trouble In gaining
the verdict.
On the fourth lap Fogler got a
puncture, and Starter Abineste i'm
mediately fired the gun, hating the
race. This was faulty move in the
eyes of R. F. Kelsey, chairman of the
N. c. A., and John M. Chapman,
manager of the track. They immedi-
ately protested the starters actions
The riders were stopped, however,
and the race was restarted. On the
second lap of the second start Clarke
punctured his tire, leaving only Kra-
mer and Grenda on the track.
In the meantime Fogler had fixed
his wheel and reappeared on the
track. On seeing Fogler again on the
boards Clark changed wheels at once.
and he and Fogler, two laps to the
bad, had no chance to win the event.
They were content to finish third
and fourth, with Clark the better of
the pair.
The crowd of 1000 fans went home
dissatisfied with the outcome, espe-
cially when the favorite, Clark, had
suffered from the ruling of the OIL
Gals. When Fogler punctured his
tire it was ruled that he could not
start again after being once put out
He howled, however, and got the
sympathy of the crowd with him.
Donald McDougall's ability 10
smash worlds records is putting him
in right with the crowd. Donald did
not go SO well earlier in the season,
but is coming back in great shape.
In his heat of the half-mile handi-
cap. amateur, last night he clipped
fifth of a second off the former
mark Of Sc 2-5 seconds, established by
e. L. Young at Salt Lake City on
August 10, 1912.
Not content with this remarkable
showing McDougall clipped one full
second off his mark in the final heat
of the same race. In both the trial
heat and the final McDougall caught
the front markers on the very first
lap.
In addition to his remarkable per-
formances In the half-mile, the
worlds amateur champ, took William
Hanley, of San Francisco, into camp
in a match race, winning the maj
two heats in good style.
