afternoon to see him romp away with the
cycling derby, defeating Caesar Moretti Of
Italy and Alfred Goullet Of Australia Tho
three men met in the final heat at one
mile. having worked through trial and
seml-anal heats of two previous meets.
Morettl was second to Kramer and
Goullet third.

have the event known as the worlds
championship. because the European war
had called halt on the scheduled world e
championship. which had been billed for
Copenhagen the latter part OF August

worlds championship sanction. but while
the secretary Of the foreign body said this
could not be granted now because the
delegates OF the various countries could
not be reached because OF the war. but
he believed the Volodrome race would be
accepted as the worlds championship
when the war over. Accordingly the
race was run under the rules OF worlds
ttlc races and there was a silk sash and
a floral wreath for Kramer. as well as
