Goulet had an excursion ride. The
fact that Goullet and Grenda are
snucks on a brand-new automobile
isn't evidence that they are partners
in everything, but those who have
watched closely in the past and who
will watch closely in the future are
sure to see a three-cornered race, In
which Grenda and Goullet are not en-
tered, at least one of the contestants
making a bee-line for Kramer's rear
wheel.
AS you read on you will learn just
how cycling story pleases one fan
and badly peeves another. First,
we'll present Against"
j. P. N:
Saw your wonderful write-up in
Mondays paper in regard to the bike
races of last Sunday. Where does your
sportsmanship come in, for which you
are known for? You're not sore be-
cause your champ" was stung, are
you? Your write-up was very unfair
to the winner. Hail to the next
champon!" From my position, and
a good pair of eyes, Goullet outgen-
eraled Kramer and that's all there's
to it. If Kramer was SO scared of
| teaming, why didn't he ride the race
from in front and show us his Won
derful riding? If he had been faster
in the last 100 yards of riding he
surely could of beaten Goullet to the
| tape, for he surely got no help from
Grenda. Would like to hear from
you, Mr.. j. P. N, in regards to the
above Too bad your champ" was
smothered. Respectfully.
BIG BIKE BUG.
If that's the way you look at it,
argument in opposition to your views
would be fruitless. You evidently
know what you're talking about, so
what's the use of poor little me, who
is so prejudiced, attempting to dis
cuss the situation. Pray, Mr.. Bug,
be calm. The season is yet early and
perhaps Goullet will prove he's the
champions master in no uncertain
terms before the affair is settled.

Now listen to the other side of
the argument:

After reading your fare Sport

ernoon was pleased and bet many
other fans were, too. 1t was shame
| the way all the riders were teaming,
and Mcfarland laughing with them.
Kramer would change the laugh if
he would only team up. Then some
Of the riders would be crying for him
to stop and have mcfarland to help
them. Who do they work for, Mr..
! Chapman or him! Goodness help
Kramer when he goes down to Phil
adelphia They will make him fit for

adelphia fans will not stand for the
"bull throwing of Mcfarland, who
is with all the stars and against Kra-
mer But send him anywhere, to get
him out of Newark, and give us fans
little chance to see some good rae
ing like we had last summer, when
that gang was out West If 1 were
Kramer, I would not ride without 9
helper. Yours for fairness,
A FANNESS.
Now, there you arel Through an.
other pair of glasses all is brightness
and sunshine. Kramer, the cham
pion, in the opinion of "a Fanness,

is nowhere when the little "Fanness'
is around.
