seems to have struck 1t rich, and it
is about sure thing that he will

good, and it was not long before the

The baseball contest now running in
the Newark Evening Star has
aroused great interest among the
fans and it is amazing to see the

baseball at all who are going to try

famous players and thereby win a
season ticket for the Newark teams

were not any more difficult Well, If
that is SO, 1t will be pretty soft for

The cycling magnates were not as
fortunate as were the baseball mag
mates. and the big opening planned
for the Velodrome yesterday after
noon had to DO postponed on account
of the rain man. Fans galore were
disappointed at the state of affairs,
for the anxiety to see Walter Rutt,
the worlds champion, perform for the
first time on local track was exeep-
tionally keen. Rutt is going to be a
popular boy around here. and some
OF the other idols will have to look
to their laurels Rutt will win the
fans by his great riding, and ne has a
fine personality besides. He came
here fully aware that he win have
to meet the very best cyclists in the
world. yet he seems to feel as IL he
will be we'll able to take care of him
self. Although All Goullet, Jackie
Clark and Alfred Grenda are we'll
known speedsters, the only man that
Rutt Is worrying about is at present
over in Europe. His name is Frank
l.. Kramer. and you all know him.
Rutt will tell You that Kramer is a
marvel yet he declares he has n good
chance to beat him. For that, we
! will have to- wait and see. In the
meantime we will watch how Rutt
fares against the other boys.
