and Kramer, who was in a rear posi-
ton, saw him. start, the Gave Man
having dropped back in the rear
which is his wont when he is going
to perform one of his brilliant stunts.
AT first Kramer didn't know whether
to follow Cavanagh or not. He hes
itated. and when he did make up
his mind Cavanagh was four or five
lengths in front of him. Kramer then
sprinted and caught the flying Gave
Man" and soon the pair was thirty
yards in the lead. Cayanagh kept
going until the far turn at Mum ave-
nue. was reached. when he began to
! look around and was soon overhauled
by Goullet, Rutt and Grenda. Kramer,
/ in the meantime, was home a winner
! by twenty-five lengths. That is the
way the race was run, and there
was no occasion for the Misses at all.
kramer wasn't teaming with Cav
agh and Cavanagh didn't expect or
intend Kramer to get ON him when
the Gave Man" made his wild jump,
For such a wise crowd the Velo-
drome fans were away off yesterday.

AS far as Cavanagh is concerned he
had a perfect right to ride the race
as he did. If he happened to get away
alone, or If Fogler OF Lawson, we will
say. got on him, it would probably
have been looked upon as all right.
But the fact that Kramer was the
| lucky bird seemed to make a differ
ence. Cavanagh has made a number
of similar dives" at the Velodrome.
but Clark has generally been the
lucky man. However, the .break"
yesterday was more spen, in that
| Cavanagh got so far away from the
field. If Kramer had passed up Cava-
nagh one of the other boys would
likely have hooked on. If not then
Cavanagh would probably have won,
for the big stars" would have been
looking for the other to ''go and get
him" until it was too late.

| In any event, with Cavanagh in the
race something was bound to happen.
There is no telling what he is going

man in the race, but no one would
give him a job. All were in fear yes

have the big fellows, at least, tanned

the race in question was on his own,
and | believe it, Ross used good
judgment in ignoring the crowd. II
he listened to the fans he would
never be right
While Ross felt sure that Kramer
and Cavanagh were not teaming, he
has such explicit confidence in Kra-
mer that he reserved his decision
until ne had asked the champion
about it. When Kramer told him he
wasn't teaming he was satisfied The

the objeeting. Kramer doesn't have
to resort TO such glazing tactics to
win. Not yet When he does we will
know about it, for no matter how
bad Kramer becomes as a cyclist he
will always be able to tell the truth
and Kramer does tell the truth

The defeat of Cesar Moretti by AL
fred Grenda was positive and beyond
dispute. Grenda won because he is
the better match race rider Moretti,
1t seems, is just so good although
Kramer still holds that the Italian is
much better man than he has shown
so far. Anyway, Moretti was beaten
by Grenda, who may be able to beat
others if given the chance. He is
learning more every time he starts
about riding matches. and against
Moretti he has shown particular class
and generalship. He got a tremen-
dous hand yesterday for his victory
He divided the honors of the day
with Goullet in the applause Stakes. .
! Clarence Kraft has been awarded t.
the Newark club. The announce
ment comes through President Fultz
of the Players Fraternity and il
mysterious in way. 1t doesn't sa.
how the decision was reached, but /
is likely that a compromise was eff
fected with the Nashville club which
had a claim on Kraft. Now tina
Kraft has been given to the Newarl
club, it isn't any sure thing that h
is wanted. These are dull times. am
he is a high-priced man. and JET
Holmquist is doing so well at frs
base that 1t would seem a shame t
disturb him. So. perhaps, after al
the bother Kraft will have to look TO
job for himself.
