prevail yesterday sounded as II II
came from the heart. One man close
to me said pathetically:
THANK God! Kramer is himself
againi" That was the sentiment that
pervaded the air throughout the
Velodrome. 1t was a great tribute
to a grand man and a great rider.
G.
Champion Kramer rode a great
race in the ten-mile tandem paced
affair. He was strong and steady
throughout, and he was at his ease
at the finish. He was the best man
in the race. but a little luck on the
side of Goullet would have won for
him. For a sick boy, Goullet did fine,
and it simply shows that where there
/ is class there is always something to
bank on. Gou1let has been up
against it this year for fair. He has
been sick most of the time, but
when he was we'll he made all the
riders, with the exception of Kramer,
look like deuces. In the race yester-
day he showed a return to FORM and
| he pleased a large number of his old
friends by doing so. Kramer was
elated over his race. He hasn't been
Ii A4a1. in nj G
training he didn't do much. In the
race. however. he rode like the cham
pion of old. and from now on, watch
out for Kramer.
C
1t is no sure thing that Jackie
Clark will ride in Newark next year,
and it is no sure thing that he will
ride in the New York six-day race.
AS usual, Jackie is being much
abused, and he isn't going to stand
it any longer, it is said. He is al
ways getting the worst of it and he
has decided to set down his foot and
| look for the best of it in the future.
| What he has put up with in Newark
(
terday his hated rival Kramer, re-
ceived more applause from the popu-
! lace than did Jackie. That will never
do, and no one can blame Clark for
getting sore. He was also sick yes
| terday and didn't want to ride, but
after asking for and getting $125
for his efforts in the ten-mile event
he felt much better, even if he did
finish third. Before the race was
on it was common gossip that Jackie
wasn't going to try to win, but when
the men were on the track it looked
as if Clark was doing his best. He
had fall at the end, but was not
badly hurt,
Clark has so many friends who are
advising him what to do that he
should profit by their advice. He is
a grand little rider, and he is popu-
lar little fellow, and perhaps it is only
just that he should be given all atten-
ton by the promoters. Jackie seems
to have the impression that the world
is cruel and that those who are pay
ing him for his services are stingy
He wants more money, it is said, anG
the promoters, it is said, can't see his
demands. Thus the abuse that CLARK
is suffering.
