A fan wants to know:
]. P. N:
In the final of the Criterion last
Sunday Kramer rode down close to
Rutt and Rutt showed Kramer up
/ bit, just as any other rider would
| have done Kramer then rode down
on Rutt, but this did not bother Rutt
! a bit. Kramer then tried other
tactics, which for Kramer are called
track generalship," but If it was an
other rider it would be called trough
work" Why is not Kramer fined as
j are the other riders?
EDWARD HENRY.
Naughty naughty Kramer He
should not do those things, and
Referee Ross should get after him,
the naughty boy
Feeling that Cesar Moretti is not
fairly treated, a bike fan would like
to know the reason why:
j. P. NJ:
Kindly let us know why Moretti is
treated so badly in America? He has
over thirty medals, which Kramer
has not. 1 would like to see a match
race between the two at Brighton
Beach. Kindly answer this question
and tell when that race is coming off.
Yours, truly,
CHI. RoToNDo,
p RISO.
Why sick Kramer on Moretti, Il
things are going so badly with him?
According to Cesar himself. he is
doing fine, and is having grand
time.

A complaint:
! j. P. NJ:
! Kindly let me know why the races
were postponed Thursday night?
/ What's the matter? Afraid of at
4 tendance? l am afraid the bicycle
game will be killed here the same
way it died out in every other Ameri-
can city. When a meet is called off
on account of being afraid of small
attendance it looks bad. Here's
/ hoping it will rain for the next dozen
meets straight. l remain
| A BIKE FAN.
| Down with the bike promoters, but
just remember one thing: When con-
ditions are favorable for racing the
| track management will not be able to
call off the races. The riders will see
to that. If the track is fit to race on,
no matter how small the attendance,
the riders would demand to go out
and compete for the prize money.
But the mean old promoters are sure
ly killing the game. The attendance
is only forty per cent. bigger than
last year.
More lights are needed at the bike
track, according to the following let
ter:
Elizabeth, July 30.
j. P. N:
Don't you think our Frank did some
wonderful riding last Sunday in the
| Criterion race? / was sitting in sec
ton e, row e, seat 5, and it's Won
| derful how you see the riders come in,
very close, too, and also how Moretti
tried to give Fogler a good wallop.
But does he think he can do such
things to our riders, especially Joe,
who has more brains, when bicycle
riding is concerned, than any other
rider OF course, our champion,
Frank, is not included, as l figure
him to be the most wonderful man in
the world on bicycle
But this is not what | wanted to
write about. It's something more Sc
rious. l have attended the races for
the last three years, and on Wednes-
day we usually sit in the bleachers
and exit at the lower end of the track.
Wednesday night, July %, l most fell
and only for the kindness of some
| gentlemen would have injured myself
very seriously. l think If our great
mcfarland would put a few more
| lights at that exit 1t would be very
non q iFlC
Sunday will be clear, with cheers for
Kramer. BIKE FANNESS.
Here's a young man from Baltimore
who knows something about the
Rline-C CLANCY fight:
| j. P. N:
Having read much of the discussion
that is being printed about the recent
| CLANCY Kline encounter, l wish to
make a few remarks concerning the
fight. AS 1 follow sports pretty close
| ly in the capacity of fight manager,
! can speak with some degree of au-
thority. | attended the bout i1 ques-
| ton, and had ringside seat. In our
city the referee opens up new gloves
| before important contests, and offers
| them to the two boxers. Both sets
of gloves were of one size, SO Kline
cannot say that he had larger gloves
than Clancy had. As both boys are
known to be heavy hitters the fact
that their gloves were a bit heavy
prevented such men from inf1icting
serious damage, but Kline had as
much chance as CLANCY of doing
damage. A fifteen-round bout with
| lighter gloves may be agreeable to
both men and ought to draw a big
house. Hoping that this letter may
result in definite steps / am very
truly yours, JIMMY BACK.
