Kramer's victory. at least one or two

J. P. N:
Referee Ross's decision in the Kra-
mer, Moretti and Grenda semi-fnals
Wednesday evening was a prize pack
age. We find these three riders leave
the starting point, ride about twenty
! yards, and then do some trick riding.
Moretti is the poorest performer of
| the three. 1t takes all his strength
to make even a fair showing. When
| he gives up his whole power is
| thrown into his pedals and he shoots
| ahead about ten yards. Kramer and
| Grenda continue their trick riding.
| Moretti looks back, sees that they are
| paying no attention to- him, then
| starts off in earnest. He has lead
| of fifty yards before the track general
| wakes up. But Kramer is there with
| the brains. He waits for Grenda's
pull. Grenda knows Kramer has to
| go out and he waits for the pull"
! 1t is a case of too much brains. Kra-
mer then goes after Moretti in ear
| nest but his start is so quick that he
| jumps Grenda, so that when Kramer
| pulls up the track Grenda is just as
| tired as he is, never having the bene-
| fit of a pull Then both gave up.
| But if Kramer and Grenda made a
/ fooZle, why rob Moretti of the race?
1 We all like to see a good finish, but
! there Is a certain amount of interest
| watching the riders trying to prevent
just such jump, and If they do jump
| and get away with 1t, it is looked
| upon as clever Moretti may have
played his trump card 1t would be
the one thing for an inferior man to
do. II he knew that his chances were
poor at the finish, he should be per-
4 mitted to make his bid at the begin
ming. Are we to understand by the
decision that no rider is allowed to
Jump Kramer in an important race
That all riders are so instructed and
Moretti, being a stranger and not
knowing this, had to be set down?
That all maneuvering done at the
beginning of a race Is simply for ef-
feet, and that the riders are instruct
ed there should be a 'finish?" And
lastly. that Kramer is only a track
general through arrangement? What
is wrong at the Velodrome? We fine
