him. Now it seems to be the lack
of judgment that is losing him the
races. That is strange. of course, to
say about Kramer. whose superior
intelligence of the bike track has been
matter of high compliments almost
times without number, but it is a
fact nevertheless and Kramer will
have to forget the calibre of his OPP
ponents. back his goat up in his
garage in East Orange and come out
and show us what he can do and
how to do it. The "Old Master" is
still the master, but he mustn't take
so many things for granted when he
can win if he will only ride his race.
Kramer as a winner is the life of
cycling and he is not giving the pub
lie a fair run for its money the way
he is simply throwing away races by
the nobody home" route. I haven't
had occasion to pan" Kramer in
some time, but he is hereby severely
''panned" today.

But let's get back to Walter Rutt
and talk about bicycle rider who
does things and who seems always
willing to DO things. Here is the
champion of the world, mind you, rid
ing in three races on the one day and
declaring he was tickled almost to
death to be able to do it. The races.
! too, were important. and he won two
OF them. In the one-mie champion
ship he made fame for himself by
defeating the great Kramer and he
showed lot of wonderful speed in
| defeating Frank Cayanagh in a match
race in straight heats. To do this
| Rutt had TO ride at the top OF his
form. for CaVanagh was well prepared
for the "Wcltmeister. In the first
heat Cavanagh looked all over a win
ner but he looked around coming into
! the stretch on his way to the tape.
! and as he saw Rutt coming he kind
of gave it up and stopped very fast.
Rutt came on and just won. Cava-
nagh couldn't have lost the heat if he
went on about his business He was
! leading by length rounding the
Mum avenue turn. but his look back.
heat him. He has the power, but he
will have to develop a little more gray
matter as he goes along.
G
Rutt didn't have much on CaVa-
nagh in the way OF speed, but his
knowledge of match racing gave him
an advantage. At that, it looked as
if Walter Switched Cavanagh near
the eighth pole on the last lap in the
second heat. but Rutt blamed 1t on
Cayanagh. In this heat Cavanaeh
rode from the rear. He tackled Rutt
on the stretch turn on the fifth lap,
and he raced by his side around the
first turn until the switch came,
which, Rutt declares, was caused by
Cavanagh giving him the elbow. Any
way, Cavanagh shot up the bank, and
it looked as if he had given up, when
suddenly he shot after Rutt again,
and he was a bother to the Big Ger
man. until the homcstretch was
reached. when Frank gave it up.
That's the trouble with CaVanagh-
he seems to have a penchant for
easing up. lie was beaten by Rutt,
but he was not disGraced. He met
Rutt on day when the Welt

his wonderful bid for victory in the
five-mile open. in which he was

to Rutt. and good luck to him again,
