there is not an angle by which he
can be figured a possible winner.
However, the Italian rider can find
consolation in the fact that at the :
present time there is no one else
engaged in the profession of pedal
pushing who has a chance against
the great Kramer. and his prospects

a record that has never been ap-
preached.
