grand stand and had an alteration
with one of the spectators. The

thrashing, but a ball player Is ex-

Dick Rudolph is pitching great ball
these days for Boston and George
Stallings is very much tickled there
at. stallings has claimed right along
that Rudolph was big league pitch
err, but Dick never got a real good
show until this year. When in the
International League Rudolph was
one of the very best of twirlers. He
was purchased and drafted, but
never seemed to catch on. John Nc
Graw, of the New York Giants, had
him, but turned him loose. He found
his way back to Toronto, whence he
came, but he finally kicked over the
traces and practically jumped the To-

big Lacquer, and after a hard, uphill
fight he has landed a job In the "big

The employees of the velodrome are
holding clambake today and a fan,
who says he has a grievance, would
like to join in the merry party. He
asks for an invitation in an odd way,
as follows:

A clambake for the grand moguls
of the cycling game and their friendsl
Just what I've been waiting fora
chance to meet these fellows face to
face. have had grievance against
the way they have run things at the
Velodrome for some time, and
would like a chance to to let them
know it,
Writing to the newspapers is like
throwing water on a ducks back.
1t does no good, and the fan doesn't
get any satisfaction.
Kindly let me know where I can
purchase ticket for this affair; and
tell me in your sport Topics of the
Hour" column all about where same
will be held, and I'll be there to
prove to this bunch that there are
others who know the game.
Thankingsvou in anticipation. I am
Yours, A. G. r.
The Velodrome officials are having
an outing today, whether they need
it or not. They are down at Ulmer
Park enjoying the sea breezes and
luscious bivalves that go with all
well-regulated shore dinners. Far
from the cheers and Kisses, out of
range of the bawling fans, the mar
tyrs of cycling who sit for criticism
Sunday afternoons and Wednesday
nights are tempting the fatal indi-
gestion and the inevitable headache.
1t is joyous occasion and busy
one. G. J. Abieneste, the starter, is
the master of ceremonies, and "Ab-
hey" has mapped out some" pro-
gram. After motorbusing 1t from the
velodrome offices to the shore, the
entire field will compete In a salt
water bath. After the bath will come
the dinner and after the dinner they
will give Coney the "once over" Next
comes party at the Brighton Beach
races and then home by bus by
moonlight. Among those on the out
ing are Arthur Ross, the beloved
referee; Supreme Judge Victor Hess,
Associate Judges Bill Drake, Harold
Dibble, Clarence Linnell, A. Jasper
Peckmore, A. Rodriguez, Hugh
Brown and George E. Post, Scorers
Harry Cole and George Koehler,

Champion Kramer surely has one
good friend-and a sarcastic one, too.
Just listen:

Noticing &C. DIS" statement in the
Evening Star that Kramer can do as
he pleases," also that Kramer and
Goullet are teaming, l wonder If &C.
D." saw the half-mile championship
race that was run not so awfully long
ago, when Goullet allowed mere Joe
Fogler to finish second instead of his
''paP' Kramer? A very good exhibit
ton of "teaming," don't you think so
When Kramer loses a race he never
comes around with an excuse like
Rutt. If Kramer and Goullet are in a
race with Rutt, why they team to-
gether; If Kramer is in the race alone,
why he "roughs" Rutt. It's wonder
Rutt didn't find fault when Kramer
beat him in the match races. Kra-
mer Switched" him, didn't he? It's a
wonder Kramer's hair isn't turning
gray; the way he makes his brain
work to invent schemes to defeat
these great riders is terrible. Aren't
you afraid you'll spoil your reputa-
ton, Goullie, by 'palling" with such
a naughty man as naughty Frankie L.
Kramer? Poor Kramer, If he loses a
race, he don't know how to ride, and
if he wins one, why the management

A bike fan who is sore on Moretti
the Italian rider, wants to know:
West Orange, July 80.
j. p. NJ:
When is Moretti going to be sent
back to Italy? Why did they bring
him over here, anyhow?
Kindly ask mcfarland to put or
tandem match between the follow
ing teams: Kramer and Cavanagh
