by inches only, as Rutt perseyered
this time and rode his race right out
to the tape Again he protested and
and Clark, the winner. was given a
big hand as he paraded around the
track with a bouquet of flowers IL
his hand.
With the outcome of their race so
unsatisfactory, the only thing to do is
to put on another match. Rutt seems
to be very much disturbed over his
defeat, and he doesn't think he is
being given a fair show on the track.
However, that is up to him. Rutt
cannot expect the other boys to get
out of his way every time he gets
ready to move. And he is not such
an angel himself, either. Rutt has a
very rough way of dashing out from
behind one rider and meeting the
Jump of another rider, and he dashes
down from the bank on the pole
man in the same way. On two occa
sions that l know of Rutt has
roughed Clark in open races, and,
while Jackie may have been getting
even on the "Weltmeister'' last night,
two wrongs don't make a right.
C
Clark, in any event, might have
won the match, but he surely would
have been beaten in the second heat
if he hadn't resorted to foul riding.
In the first heat Clark's work was
coarse enough, but his ride up the
homestretch to the tape in
the second heat was crude,
indeed. Even the riders. who genera
ally say good luck to the winner,
blushed, I am told. when the an
nouncement was made that the heat
was allowed TO stand. Rutt was
fairly astounded. but he managed to
tell Clark he would race him again
for 5000. OF course, fair is fair, but
Rutt had himself to blame for losing
the second heat. He won away the
side and taking a chance to be
pinched off, but a lap and a half from
home he eased up rounding the Mum
avenue turn, and right there is where
Clark used excellent judgment.
Jackie. as soon as he struck the
straight. sprinted by Rutt, and he
gave Walter such a close ride that
the "Weltmeister" was compelled to
pull up. Rutt, however took his
medicine. but when the twelfth pole
was reached he started his battle.
Clark then gave him a wide ride, and,
although Rutt gained it out, Jackie
was the winner of the heat and race.
o
Champion Frank L. Kramer rode
one of his "Old Master" races in the
! 6ve-mile open last night. He beat
Rutt, Grenda and the other stars in
great finish after a hard ride. With
two laps to go the order passing the
tape was Pye, Cameron, Clark, Cav
anagh John Bedell, Grenda, Kramer,
Rutt. Menus Bedell Spears and Goul-
/ lei and a this point Grenda, with
Kramer, Rutt and the others be-
| hind them following, set out for the
| front Grenda got in front on the
/ back stretch and he beat it all the
way. On the back stretch. in the last
] lap Rutt made a bid to come out and
go by, but Kramer just beat him to
it, and Rutt ducked back behind
Kramer again. Grendas ride was
really marvellous, considering he had
! sprinted for two laps, and it took all
! Kramer could do to get to the tape
! ahead of him. The Yankee Doodle
champion pulled Rutt along with him
and as a result the German got a
dead-heat decision from the judges
John Bedell was fourth and Goulet
was fifth.
@
Kramers great ride shows what
Kramer can really do when he sets
his mind down to do it, He can
ride long, hard races or he can ride
short match races with equal success
He was simply great last night, as
! evidence his wonderful ride in the
handicap, in which he finished sec
ond. He said afterward that he be-
lieved he had never ridden a faster
lap in his life, and wished that the
time had been taken Grenda, who
was just nipped in the last few
strides, was fortunate to go when he
did. If he had tarried a moment
Clark and Cavanagh would have beer
on their way. Kramer was absolutely
on his own, but he was fortunate
enough to get good position. He
is still the greatest rider in the worlc
by a long shot.

Frank Kramer is becoming popular
