that Rutt and Frank Cavanagh, who
were In the final, were teaming, and
/ that both Kramer and Goullet were
put wise to them. Kramer and
! Goullet didn't have any particular
understanding, but they finished first
and second in tile bike race. Ru-t
was third and Cavanagh was fourth.
This gives Kramer one victory be-
cause his opponent didn't try, and
one victory because he teamed with
another rider. Then came the final
of the Cesar .Morett Stakes at the
Velodrome yesterday, A new angle
came up this time, and there was d
new abb. Kramer won the race, but
only because Goullet didn't try to
win. and because Goullet made 1t
particularly disagreeable for Rutt

heat. Here again Kramer won 500
and Goullet got $50. which was twice
as much as Rutt, who was third, re-
ceived. Then, too, the judges at the
Velodrome. we are told, criminally
placed Goullct second when they

Up at the Velodrome yesterday II
looked as if Goullet was bent on get
ting second, if possible, yet Rutt
really resorted to the very same tao
ties in his efforts to tack on to kra-
mer's wheel. After fighting for four
laps for Kramer's wheel, and finally
getting it. Rutt deliberately rode high
to secure a position he had been bat
Ting for. In the last lap of the race
and rounding the first turn, Rutt rode
bit to go to the front. Kramer
speeded up. and Goullot came out
from behind Kramer and raced Rutt
off. When the twelfth pole was
reached Rutt realized that he could
beat Goullet from the outside, came
down on the inside and the battle to
the tape between them was fierce and
close. Goullet got the place position,
with Kramer a sure winner from the
time the real sprint started.
o
There was much jockeying in the
final of the Cesar Moretti race, and
Goullet and Rutt had most interest
ing time. Kramer. too, took hand
in jockeying, and made play to have
Rutt ride the race from in front.
That is just what Rutt should have
done, and if he had goneto the front,
say, two laps to go. he might have
done better-he couldn't have done
any worse After the meet Kramer
said he was riding to win, and he did
win. Goullet said he wanted to win,
but felt sure he could be second by
getting Kramer's wheel Rutt felt as
if he had been abused, but said he
had no complaint to offer, He de-
clared that the breaks" would come
his way some time and the third man
in the race might make it uncomfort-
able for Kramer by fighting for his
(Rutt's) wheel.
Alibis may be recorded right and
left. but Kramer was Kramer yester-
day. He was never better in his life.
He had the speed and he had his
wits about him. He defeated Spears
for second place in a heat which was
won by Iver Lawson on steal
away in the most artistic manner
possible. Kramer 'hipped" Spears for
nearly two laps and he never allowed
him to race at all. He won at his
ease. and the last eighth was ridden

but Kramer knew he had only Spears
to beat in that heat to get in the
final, and that is all that he bar

the big laugh is that Kramer has won
