/ champer had laid off training, alsf
that Kramer would not go the limit
on that soup plate and take
chance of getting a bad spill, Fol
which nobody can blame him. Al
things considered. the champer rode
a great race, and is still the in
yincible Kramer. and. to my way OF
thinking, will defend his title in 1915
as calamity as he ever did, If moi
| better He showed great form for
an athlete not training much.
Larry Corbett is some announcer.
Is a ticket good for the same day
it's issued for, if one goes home for
dinner and wishes to return in the
| evening, or is it necessary to have
a ticket for returning? Wishing sue
cess for the six-day grind.
A FAN
Now, If you were an usher you
wouldn't require a ticket to see the
races after dinner, but unfortunately
you are not an usher, transparent or
otherwise, and you will have TO pay
to get in again if you leave the
building

! Namara is not in the Newark six
/ day race Well, here's good luck to
him and may this be his last mis-
fortune. Also, would it be proper
for two or three young ladies to go
to the six-day grind without an
escort? They do up at the Velodrome

see an early answer Yours truly,

Mcnamara is also sorry for his

The Rosedale basketball team has
champion-or he may be member
of the team In any event he eX-
plains how the Rosedales We're
beaten by the Bay Views, and the
explanation. with some of the I'M
necessary remarks eliminated, fol-
| lows
J. p. N:
The Bay Views beat the Rosedales.
| That may not be an important fact,
but it is true.
OF course l am not writing merely
to let you know of this fact, and
you probably realize l have a kick
coming as to how the Bay Views
came by their victory. l have, as
have many others.
| The Rosedales had Norman, the
former St Gabriel and present st.
| Michael forward in their lineup.
! We all know that Norman is one of
| the cleyerest forwards in this vicin-
lty, aye, in the East. Naturally
his presence in the lineup of a team
would prove of great advantage TO
it, and his absence from the lineup,
after once being in it, would prove
| of great disadvantage to said team.
| This is exactly what happened in the
| case of the Rosedales.
| While Norman was in the game he
| scored about seven points for his
/ team besides playing an important
| part in the teamwork. Before Nor
man was put out of the game, the
| Rosedales were ahead. After Nor
man was forced to make his invol-
untary exit the Rosedales lost-and
| their loss was directly due to the
| lou
! who substituted for Norman.
OF course, any player is liable at
any time to be put out of the line
up of any team, but the question
arises as to the why's and where
fores of Normans inopportune exit,
which can be traced back to Pete
Schoen, who played the pivot posi-
ton for the Bay Views. This player
was opposed by Whitehill, a mere
youth, who succeeded in holdin:
Petey scoreless and in making two
baskets himself. Petey naturally
became touched and grieved." Con-
sequently when Petey was shifted tC
a guard position he tried to take his
grudge out on Norman, and a fist
fight ensued. Who started doesn''
matter, but the fact remains thai
Petey and Norman were botl
canned" The Bay Views substi
tuted Gilhooley, who made TIVE
baskets and otherwise made himself
generally useful in the short TIM
left to play The Rosedales also pu
in a substitute, with the result a
described above.
The Bay Views were aware tina
they were weakening the Rosedale
beyond reparation when they pu
Norman out of the game, and an
"roughhouse'' that has taken plac
has been started by the Bay View
themselves, which will always b
I so as long as such players as Nc
I Kinley are tolerated. M
