! forget about that rule? Kramer COM
mitted the same offense as Grenda
did last Wednesday night when he
! (Kramer) rode in the Grand Prize
Cesar Moretti "Big Steve" allowed
Lawson to steal away and dellber-
ately refused to help Spears over
| haul Lawson. Yet they fine Grenda
and allow Kramer to get away with
| it. You also say that Moretti could
not dope out that move when the
others stole away, but in my opinion
| 1t was his only chance. Another
| thing: Why not ask Manager Mac
Farland to get some accurate timersE
Some of the eighth times that
they announce are far from right
Yours truly, MUSTANG PEDRO.
So you were a spectator last
! Wednesday night and of course you
will be up there again Sunday. Do
you know, I'm beginning to think that
those mean old Velodrome promoters
bring about such conditions purposely
Just to excite the fans and attract
attention to the game.

One more fan joins the correspond
ents brigade and writes as follows:
| j. p. N.
Am hereby joining the correspond
ents' army by sending in my view of
the first semi-fnal of the Criterion
| Wednesday evening. The mere fact
that | am offering an opinion no doubt
will put me in the Kramer haters'
class, but ] do not think that Moretti
| got a square deal at the hands of the
! officials. Now, If it is not too much
| trouble, please answer nee this ques-
| ton: If Kramer can stall, which he
| did when the gun was fired, why can't
, Grenda stall thirty yards from the
start? Now you might construe this
| to mean that / admit Grenda was
! stalling when Moretti was going, but
] don't think so. l think that Grenda,
| likewise Kramer. did not think Mo-
retti was "going dead" a full mile
! from home. A few more words about
| stalling: Kramer is an artist on a
bicycle, but what gets my goat" is
| the way he stalls and stalls, no matter
with whom he is racing. l know Kra-
mer has a racing head, racing
| heart and racing legs, but with the
complete racing outfit, he had one put
over on him, and | can't see why
Grenda was made 500 poorer for not
| setting pace, for think that Kramer
is responsible for his own position in
any race in which he completes.
There is a lot of talk about teaming,
as usual but was there ever racing
without teaming? OF course, you
can't team easy, when three or four
men are on the track, because If one
man sacrifices" himself he is bound
to be dead at the bell lap. AS a
final knock" j wish to call your at
tention to Frank Kramer's men Fri

Willie Fem. Later on, believe,
there was BLACK Diamond Ex-
press" composed of Eddie Root, Joe
Fogler and the engineer, Frank Louis
| Kramer, and the hams" were glad
when they could ride on the Ca
boose." Later on, l believe, I read
that Goullet was fool for helping
kramer, and that, If he would ride on
his own, he would win more races.

Angelo doesn't agree with Ralph
and says so in the following letter:
