JACK cuRp4Y, WHO is TO FIGHT CHARLEY wEINERT

,f the -honors of the day. Just how
Clark, Goullet and Grenda think that
Kramer will encompass the defeat OF
Rutt is told in the following inter
views:
1t is the concensus of opinion
among the star professionals that
Kramer win win all three Of his
matches with Rutt. In fact, every
one of the riders at the Ve!odrome
can see only the Yankee CHAMPION
as the winner.

always" said Jackie Clark, who
has ridden more matches with
Kramer than any other rider.
I'VE all think that we are going
to beat him, and Rutt has that
same opinion, but he is, in my
opinion, going to meet the same
fate as the rest of US have"
ALT Goullet, who has also met
Kramer many times, says Kramer

"Rutt is a great bike rider"
Goullet said. but I'm certain that
Kramer Is his master. I never
saw Rutt in a match on an out
door track. but Kramer is such a
master of track generalship he
j will make the worlds champ on
ride just as he pleases."
Big ALI Grenda smiled when
asked his opinion of the match to-
morrow.
KRAMER will win as sure as the
sun rises in the East" said the
tall Tasmanian. "Rutt ls one Of
the greatest riders in the word,
but Kramer is in a class by him.
