KRAMER IN FORM IN PURSUIT RACE

they crossed the tape Grenda had a
slight advantage The race was called
a dead heat, and Kramer and Grenda
divided first and second money. The
conditions called for q finish with one
rider the sole survivor on the track
SO until one had caught and passed
the other the race was a dead heat.
Some of the fans thought that kra-
mer should have been the winner, as
he had gained about twenty-five
yards on Grenda after the two were
alone on the track. Others thought
Grenda should have been awarded the
decision, as he beat the champion
after the two had raced for over a
mile on even terms. The official de-
cision was the right one, however.
Many Mishaps for Amateur.
The amateur championship at five
miles. the last race of the titular
series, was fraught with mishaps.
After going three miles the race was
halted when Tommy Smith punctured.
A fresh start was made and three
laps from the finish Harry Kaiser,
the probable champion, fell. which
halted the race again. The fall was
caused by Ernest Ohrt, one of the
pacemakers, who had no business in
the race at the time. McDougall had
sprinted and taken the lead, and as
the real battle was on the pace
makers had no business in the race
and should have dropped out imme-
diately. The race will be run Sunday.
McDongall Sets New Mark.
Champion McDougall DISTINGUISHED
himself by breaking the half-mile
handicap record in the final of the
handicap which he won. The new fig
ures are 55 seconds fiat, which takes
four-fifths of a second off the former
mark which MeDougall established
last year Tom Grimm was second in
the race, with Kopp. of the Pruden-
tial A. A., third, and Hanley fourth.
Pye Wins 'Pro" Handicap.
The final of the two-thirds mile
handicap pro" went to Ernie Pye
from the seventy-yard mark Nor
ton was second and Rupprecht third.
Fogler Cavanagh, Spears and
Grenda, backmarkers In this race.
made no effort to catch the limit
bunch and should have been fined for
their actions. Kramer rode from
scratch and took his pace when his
turn came, and took it fast, but the
race was lost by that time.
Easy Victory for Speers.
Spears accounted for the "mss and
out race by going around the field
on the final lap and winning easily.
