all know. Kramer to be a true sport
and the shame is that he Is compelled
to protect himself as he is doing.
One can't help but wonder why
Ross wears such an air of impor-
| lance after overlooking the combina-
ton got up against Kramer last
| Wednesday night. Then was the time
for Ross to show his authority and
| the necessity of his presence at the
| Velodrome. but he failed.
"Old Hoss" Grenda, who has en-
! joyed the good wishes and opinion of
the fans as a clean rider, has finally
showed his true colors. He has lost
much of the popularity he gained and
he will lose more The fans won't
forget his part in the dirty work of
Wednesday night for some time.
The American fans have something
to be grateful to the "Weltmeister"
for exposing the plot, and 1, for
one. wish him the best of luck. He
is good sport, and is well liked here.
Our own champion did justice to his
title Sunday, and we are now quite
at ease, as we are reasonably sure to
enjoy the great and wonderful per-
formances of our champion for an
other year at least. He has won his
crown against great odds and all sorts
of foul work, which makes his 1914
crown the most glorious of all, and
we are happy in the thought the
American colors in the cycling sport
will be protected for another year by
the truest, cleanest as we'll as the
greatest rider the world has ever
known-our own Frank L. Kramer.
FAN ESS.

what he says about Moretti. The big
italian rider is there with the goods
Where does Joe Fogler get the idea
that any rider --ho can beat him in
a match race can beat all the rest

Every time one sees Ben Hill now
adays the Velodrome relic" is riding
around in an automobile. There must

Did Bob Spears makes the final of
the "E&1ie Bald Stakes and if so,
where did he finish? Who is consid-
cred the best pacemaker among Tur-
Vile, Ruben, Stein and Hunter?
Very truly yours, j. A. P.
Spears didn't make the final in the
Eddie Bald Stakes. Stein is now con-

Hunter a close second.
