TITLE QUARTER
GOES TO KRAMER
Champion Just Noses Out Goul-
let in Sensational Finish
After Great Race.
NEW AMATEUR RECORD

NEW AMATEUR KECOKD
Frank L. Kramer may lose or be
beaten in bicycle races wherein there
is nothing at stake except a few
hundred dollars of the coin of the
realm, as ne was last Sunday in the
Newark Thousand" by Alfred Goul-
let, but when it comes to race in
which the worlds championship
occurs, nay, nay! There is nothing
doing in the beating linei
! Kramer proved this yesterday aft
ernoon at the Velodrome, when in
the quarter-mile national champion
ship event he turned the tables on
Goullet and won the race after APP
parently being In hopeless position
on the back stretch on the last lap.
The race then looked like sure
| thing for Goullet, but Kramer started
one of his hair-raising jumps just as
he was turning into the Mum avenue
bend, and went after Goullet and
Fogler, both of whom were in front
of him.
| AT the turn into the home stretch
he was on even terms with Fogler,
with Goullet on the pole, still nearly
a wheel length to the good, while
Kramer was riding high on the bank.
The champion never looked to see
where anybody else was, but just set
sail for home with every ounce OIL
strength in those long, wonderful
legs of his. Ten yards from the
finish line he was on even terms with
Goullet, and despite the desperate
efforts of the Australian to keep in
front Kramer shot over the line first,
! inches to the good. The champion
was given an ovation for his vic
tory.
Jackie Clark took the measure of
| big Grenda in five-mile match
race, paced by tandems and single
wheels. Grenda followed the pace
makers from the beginning. and even
when they dropped out with two laps
still to go, he was still in front. Clark,
however, jumped Grenda coming in
the stretch with a lap to go and
opened up a gap. Grenda tried hard
to pick up the distance, and he did
cut down the lead in the home
stretch, but Clark had the stamina
to stall off his rush, and won handily
| A pleasing feature of the after
moons sport, and one that tickled the
5000 or more fans present, was the
record breaking ride of Amateur
Champion Donald MacDougall in the
quarter mile open for amateurs. With
the gun MacDougall jumped away
from the rest of the field as though
his opponents were tied. and soon
opened up a gap of thirty lengths. He
never stopped until he had passed the
finish line, which he reached in % II
seconds, clipping one-fifth of a second
off the old mark made by Marcus
Hurley at the old Vailsburg track on
July 27, 1902.
| Fred Hill had all the speed of thu
bunch that started in the two-mile in
vitation event for professionals anc
| won handily, with George Cameron II
/ second place.
A surprise party cropped up In the
two-mile handicap, when Norman
Hansen, the little Danish rider, WHIT
rode pro" yesterday afternoon fol
the first time, came in a winner. Han
sen had a handicap of 210 yards, and
with Fred Diver, who rode from thu
255-yard mark, managed to catch TIT
back-markers, including all the stars
early in the second mile. Once there
Hansen and Diver stuck with thu
bunch, with the result that they were
a lap to the good at the finish
Some of the riders did not know
this and all but Kramer and Foglel
slowed down. after crossing the tap'
on the bell lap. Kramer kept on go
ing and so did Fogler. On the wa!
home Fogler came shooting past kra
mer and took third place.
The mile handicap for amateurs wa:
captured by Adam Byerman, after {
fall in the fifth lap had put William
Hanley, of California, and ALDER
Krushel, of Buffalo, the backmarkers
out of the race, after they had caugh
the bunch and were going rapidly t.
the front in the race for home.
The novice event was captured b!
S. Cambria of New York, with n
Coccia, of Newark, in second place
The amateurs got through four heat
in the event without spill taking
place, something unusual for thu
tyros. The summaries follow:
