flowers after they had won the event.
While Kramer's sprinting ability, no
doubt, won the match, Cavanagh is
entitled to all the credit in the world
for his superior pulling power. With
Kramer on his wheel, Cavanagh
knew no other rider in the race and
he fairly flew whenever the champion
told him to go on his way. Grenda
had considerable speed, but Clark
seemed to lack energy. He hasn't
quite recovered from his fall and he
will do better later on.
@
Rutt. mad through and through,
went out to win the five-mile open,
the closing event on the program. He
succeeded and rode a great race. He
had a good position at the twelfth
pole and came on and won after a
hard tilt with Alfred Grenda, who
was in frint. Spears was was third
and Goullet was fourth. Kramer
didn't make much OF an effort TO win
the race. He was 'in Dutch when
it came sprinting time, il is true, but
he got onto Grenda and Goullet in
the last lap and if he had followed
them he might have won. He SAID
he was a. little tired, but that is
poor excuse. 1t is all right for Willie
Murray ii get tired, but big cham
pions like Kramer should race right
on to the Irish. Kramer can do LOT
of things if he wants to, but he Is
kidding himself into the belief that
he is going stale. Yes, he must have
been stale in the teams match race
for although the race was a killer
for the last three laps in each neat
Kramer did the final eighth in the
first heat in II 1-5 seconds and IN
the second heat in Il seconds fiat. 1t
was fast time, for tho night was cloi
and the track was slow. hraIner
could have won the open if he had
persevered, and he should be COM
PEELED TO ride his races out.

General Manager Floyd A. Mac
Farland has arranged a sprint match
race for next Sunday at the Nelo-
drome that should produce about 'hs
best racing of the season. The name
of this race is THE Prize caesar
Horelli." and is a French point affair,
with six heats and final. In each
heat there are three riders and the
point will be divided four to the
winner of each, two to the second ana
one to the third. After the six heats
have been decided, the three men
having the largest number of points
will meet in a final. Next to SIN
day race, this French point race
should produce some tired cyclists'
But mean old Mcfarland doesn't
care. as long as the race is good
one. Just how strenuous the struggle
is likely to be may be CLEANED from
the manner in which the heats have
been arranged. For instnce, in the
first heat we have Lawson, Goullet
and Rutt, and in the second heat
Spears, Clark and Grenda. Then
comes Kramer, Fogler ana Cavanagh
in the third, followed by Goullet,
Clark and Fogler in the fourth heat.
Kramer, Spears and Lawson clash in
the fifth heat and Rutt, Grenda and
Cavanagh have a battle in the sixth
beat. Out of all these heats will come
the three leading point winners and
then will follow the struggle of the
afternoon. Who those three point
winners will be it is no easy matter
to tell, but Kramer and Rutt are
pretty sure to get into the final.

Jimmy Johnston, manager of
Young Mike Donovan, the middle
weight is bemoaning the fact that
his man didn't get crack at Billy
Murray when the coast slugger was
in New York. Immediately after
Murray's first battle with Champion
Al Mccoy, Johnston sought to have
Murray agree to meet Donovan. 1t
was no go. Billy Gibson, manager

willing to stage a Murray-Donovan
bout, but Billy wouldn't listen to
anything less than $4,000 for his end
of the contest OF course, that was
out of the question, and now Man.
ager Johnston hastens to inform the
public that Murray was afraid of
Young Mike. We are inclined not 20
believe any such thing, but We do not
blame Johnston for making capital
out of Murray's refusal to go on with
the match. AS to Murray, in the end
he proved rather disappointing. in
his first fight with Mccoy he seemed
to show a lot of class, but in his second
fight Mccoy would have beaten Billy
If AL had even the heart of a chicken.
He was stronger than Murray in the
