The change from Kramer to Clark
was perhaps all for the best. After
the handicap race on Sunday, in
which Spears beat Kramer, there was
great applause for the winner and
everybody seemed to take the victory
at it's full value. But when, a few
moments later. announcement was
made that Kramer and Spears had
been matched there was considera BILE
talk that Kramer didn't have try
and that Spearss victory was not all
that 1t seemed to be. OF course, you
can't stop people from talking" as
the saying goes, but the race itself
was as honest as the sun. You
couldn't possibly dope another race to
come out just like it. There is Kra-

like sure winner, when up comes
Spears, hero from the Opposite side
of the street." and makes the greatest
champion of them all look like thirty

all right, and Kramer was caught for

that he was tired and didn't feel like
racing anyway. Spears, however.

coming to him. He rode wonderful

His next match, by right, should have
