Very truly yours,
Every time tandem race with the
star riders engaged Is talked about
the Kramer F'riol incident looms up.
Friol received severe fall, and he
has not been the same bike rider
since. However, Manager MacFar-
land may stage such an event as sug-
gested.
This fan would like to have Cham
pion Kramer write his own views of
the alleged fouling of Walter Rutt in
their match ut the Velodrome last
Sunday:
j. P. N:
Why is it that the fans keep talk
ing about that fouling last Sunday
If it was done Intentionally would
not Kramer have been punished? l
don't really think Kramer knows
what he did. So many people say he
did this and that, I wish he would
give a statement like Jackie CLARK
did in Wednesdays Evening StaI
about that race. Ask him, and prob
ably he will. It would be rather in
teresting to have him write occa.-
sionally for the Evening Star. He
better do something to convince some
of those guys" that he is on the
level and always has been.
Yours in sports,
AN OID-TIMER.
Kramer gave out a statement, which
was printed in the Evening Star or
Monday last, in which he declared
he did not foul Root. However, I will
ask Kramer to give a more detailed
version of the race in tomorrow
issue of this newspaper.

Over in Kearny there is a man who
knows much about golf, but who has
lost his patience. Let US observe his
complaint:
Kearny, May 5.
j. P. N:
In your. sport column of May 2, yor

, the world This is not the first tins
you have done so and ! confess yol
have at last exhausted my patience
How can you reconcile you Statement
, with the known facts of the case

ship was won by ]. H. Taylor, o

, the world and it included the hes
r players in Britain, France Australia

: lish players, two of them ex-cham
pions, visited America and two o
them lost in a replay with Ouimet
O please note that your claim is base

t whom was not ]. II. Taylor Ouime

Really, old chap, to be strictly cor
rect, there isn't any worlds gol

which is even more important, we ar

When you consider that Ouimet
