FINISH OF THE YALE-HARvAR BOAT RACE


be able to lose his temper to
greater degree than Kramer. but
"Old Steve" is some gamester. we
might add. As. the big race tomor-
row is a point in which both
Kramer and Rutt are quite likely u
meet. the fans may have an oppor-
tunity to see a particularly interest
ing bike race. The conditions of the
big match call for six heats and d
final with three men in each heat
and the same number in the final.
As to the winner, it looks, as usual,
like Kramer. and if such is the case
we hope Rutt viii have no cause for
an alibi.
The list of abused cyclists is getting
bigger gradually. Rutt, Clark and
Spears are on the list at present.
Rutt is being abused TO the extent of
some $4,000 for his stay here and
Clark is being abused for about the
same amount Spears is being abused,
but his balm is not so large. Despite
all his abuse Frank Million was a
guest Of Clark at dinner yesterday.
Jackie, it is said, is going TO sign his
siX-day contract in a few days.
G
Georges Carpenter, as the referee
of the Jack Johnson Frank Moran
fight on June q, seems to have added
interest and Importance to the bout.
1t will be a fine experience for him,
for he will be close enough to see
all that is going on and how il is
done. This he will be able to use
later on, when he fights Gunboat
Smith on July 16. in London. This
battle, which has been hanging fire
for some time, is now assured. The
men have posted forfeits of $1,000 for
their appearance in the ring on the
day in question If Carpenter wins
and if Johnson Wins. these two will
likely be matched.
C
The Richie Welsh fight has been
changed from July to July I. This
will spoil Ritchie's little joke While
over here Willie promised he would
give Freddie a sound thrashing ON the
most glorious day Of the year"
G
A fanness. writing as follows about
the Kramer Rutt controversy, asks
if the Big German" is sore:
J. P n:
Reading of Rutt's statement that
Kramer switched him in the team
race, is he sore because Frank led
him over the tape twice in straight
heats? 1t seems no matter when
Kramer wins a race, he either
switches" or fouls. or something. l
suppose if he should win the over
land Speedster il will be fair, Stick
to your principle Of clean riding,
Kramer You should worry what
Rutt or Clark say Show them both
( the way home in the 1914 champion
ship. Good luck. A FANNEss.
+ Another bike fan wants to know
what's the matter with Rutt2a and
says:
]. P. y:
! I would like 10 have been present
3 when Butt and Kramer had that lit
4 tie argument. What's the matter with
/ Rutt-is he sore? Well, if he is sore,
/ send him back to Germany. We
/ don't want anybody around here COM
! planning all the time for nothing at
all. If Kramer was to complain to
/ Million or MacFarland about the
/ dirty work done to him Sunday or in
any OF the other races that he had
/ ridden in his career, there would be
I a volume of books filed with conf
I plants: but no. he is so honest and
square he never opens his mouth. Rutt
does his share OF rough-riding and
switching" so why complain about
Kramer? He is good and even better
than the rest because he knows how
to ride a good, clean race. That's
why you will find him in the rear OF
all races, because he does not team
Kramer if | were you, | would have
said a little more than you did and
Rutt would have never forgotten it
When is the next championship race
J. p. y? When is Nerri coming
over? ITALIAN CORPORATION.
Rutt hasn't any hollcr coming thai
we can see, but his accusation o.
foul riding against Champion Kra.
mer is sure to increase the interes
in the races and swell the crowd. /
is funny, but Kramer, though tn,
champion, rarely complains. TIL,
next championship viii be held to
night at Brighton Beach, and Their,
