QUIT FOR SEASON

Long Rest.
HARD GRIND FOR PROS

HARD GRIND FOR PKOS
Frank Kramer the American pro-
fessional champion, will be on view
tomorrow at the velodrome for the
last time this season. The old
"champer" has been bumped hard
and often during the present racing
year, and his final race, which is
against Bob Spears, the fleet Aus
tralian sprinter, gives promise of
being one of the hardest of the sea-
son. Spears looked awfully good last
Sunday, when he took two heats of
team match from Kramer, but
Kramer has never performed as well
in team races as he has in French
style duals, and the lanky Australian
will probably go the same route that
all the others have who have. stacked
up against the wonderful Yankee
rider in French-style matches. Eddie
Root and Joe Fogler have taken team
matches from Kramer and his vari-
Gus partners, and these riders GER
tainly never had a gnost Of d show
against Kramer in, a French-style
match. Both Kramer and Spears arc
in fine condition, and the match will
battle.
Donald McDougall, the amateur
champion, who, according to the be-
lief of many, has gone back, will meet
Harry Kaiser, of the Bronx, in a
French-style match. Kaiser has come
rapidly to the front during the past
four weeks, and will be a hard nut
for the "champer'' to crack. The
Gotham rider is so much better now
than he was that, should he defeat
McDougall, 1t will be no criterion
that the latter has gone back
The twenty professional
championship, which is one of the
features of the card tomorrow, is the
biggest long distance race that has
been billed this season, and the entire
field of professionals, about forty
strong, will start in this race. There
is $500 up in prize money for the
championship, and the winner will
also receive very nifty gold medal
IN addition to first money, which is
$75. The intermediate prizes vary
from 81 to $25, and there is a prize
for every lap of the race. There is
also two special prizes for the riders
leading on the greatest number of
laps, which, with all of the other in
termediate prizes. should make the
race very fast, and the record of "a
minutes and 13 seconds, held by
Kramer, may go by the boards. ALI
Goullet, Jackie Clark, Aft Grenda,
Frank Cavanagh, Reggie Mcnamara,
Bob Spears, Joe Fogler and Paddy
Hehir are some of the topnotchers
who will ride in the championship,
and Kramer may also be a starter
If the race is started in time to per-
nit the champion to go through to
the nnlsh and then catch a train for
west that leaves at 5:45 he will enter
the championship.
The other races on the card are a
-thirds-mile handicap for the
pros and one-third- mile handicap
tours.
