No less a bike fan than IS. o. x
Co." believes that Walter Rutt has
a great chance against Frank Kra-
mer. The evidence:

! A few words in regard TO the splen-
did meet of last Sunday at the Velo-
drome, when Walter Rutt had the
opportunity of showing the Newark
fans he is the real champion. In a
letter to the Evening Star, previous
to the meet of April Il, We said what
We thought of Walter Rutt as q rider
and what chance he had with our
American champ, Frank l.. Kramer.
Our letter did not appear in Sport
Topics" and we believe it was lost.
Anyhow, we repeat that the cham
pion OF the world has a very good
chance with our great Kramer. Next
| to the American champ comes Alt
Goullet, the great little Australian,
who showed so well last Sunday
| Clark Grenda, Spears and Cavanagh
will have to show more speed before
they will be able to compete with
this great trio, Rutt, Kramer and
Goullet.
The most interesting part of last
| Sundays program was the meeting
of Clark, Goullet and Rutt. 1t was
clean race and a clean victory for
Champion Rutt. Gouilet was the next
best man, with Clark third. 1t has
been said that Goullet, who was rid
| ing from behind Rutt's Wheel won
second position by luck. This is not
true, as we believe Goullet was a bet
| ter man, although not in the best
form. 1t was a Goullet, Rutt, Grenda
day, full of excitement and enjoy
ment OF this We can assure kind
| Same Bike Fanness," whom we
noticed in the grandstand, sitting a
few seats away from Mrs. Jackie
Clark. Some seat, too, right near the
tape! Congratulations. o you green

merous at the opening meet, were also
very enthusiastic over the splendid
showing of their champ" They were
enthusiastically roofing for their
walter" and they think he can beat
our American champ" in q match
race. In fact, big, fat German
sitting near us, to an enthusiastic
rooter for Kramer, gave the following
answer, bold and sure:
Walter list blut und eisen."
Our American rooter. in reply said:
"Oh, talk United States" and then
tell 1t to Sweeney"
The great baseball contest has kept
IS. o. & Co" very busy lately. Any
how IS. o." is pretty sure he Is in
for at least a season pass.
Hoping to hear more of the inter-
esting correspondence of our dear
friend "Sportius" and of the intelli-
gent Same Bike Fanness," with best
regards to you, j. P. N, we remain
Very truly yours,
S. o. & co.
They can all beat Kramer when
Kramer Is away, but when he comes
home we will see about it, OF course
Rutt will beat Kramer at times but
in match races, the American, in
my opinion, will prove too much for
the German. Rutt, however, is very
confident and he may be the first
man to triumph over Kramer.
