had been the custom of August Bel
mont, chairman of the board of con-
| troll, to engage a certain suite in the
leading hotel at the Spa. Whether
| business to have Belmont's favorite
apartments at cost, it is said, of
| $500 a day. Tod, during that particu-
year, cut a wide swath and August
was very much peeved, In fact, it
was that one trick and a few other
peculiar moves that finally earned
Sloane the enmity OF the big men in
the racing game.
C
| But Sloane was such a clever jockey
that it was not an easy matter to rid
| the turf of his services. Belmont said
"Ameni" when Tod went over TO
Europe. Immediately the Yankee boy
was a sensation abroad-he was a
winner from the start. At first the
| foreigners ridiculed his position and
called him a monkey rider" but as
Sloane won race after race the other
| boys began to copy his style. Tod be-
came a rage in Europe and he also
became torment to the big men in
the racing game The lords and dukes
were not used to associating with
| Jockeys, yet Sloane insisted on maxi
| ing them his company, He won many
races. but he played high stakes,
and finally he got in bad repute with
the powers-that-b for an ungentle-
manly act. He was set down for
years, and when the ban was raised
he tried a comeback stunt, but failed
proprietor Of the American Bar he
has a big chance to succeed, but he
is such a conceited, arrogant little
snip that he will very likely prove a
failure
Resolute is the name of one OF the
Am ericas Cup defenders and maybe
it is the name of the defender. 1t is
good name, we would say, and it
sounds like winner But from what
evidently not anxious to have win
ner this year. Sir Thomas Upton is
such fine fellow and he has tried so
hard that his efforts should be re-
warded. That is the way we would
take it from what we have read
about the race up to date. But why
all this gallantry?

1t is announced that President Gill
more, of the Federal League. is to
receive $4,000 a year in salary. Ban
Johnson's annual stipend is said to be
$685. 900, and Governor Tener is to draw
$4,000 year, we are told. So the
Feds are not far behind the big fell
lows-and this is only their first year.

AS usual, IS. o. & Co" are early
with the proposed celebration and
dollar dinner in honor of Frank l..
Kramer. the American champion
cyclist. who is winning all his races
abroad. We will allow them to speak
their little piece themselves:
j. p. N:
Frank l.. Kramer, the wonderful
rider who has honored Newark and
has showed for fourteen years a
splendid cycling ability and strength,
by winning from the best talent in
the world, in going to be back home
pretty soon, A good suggestion has
been made by the editor of these
columns TO give big reception to
the American champion when he re-
turns to Newark, with splendid
victories over the cycling stars of
Europe. Well, we think all good citi-
zens, whether followers or not of the
cycling game ought to unite in this
tribute to a man who has contributed
so effectively to the honor and good
name of American sport. We will be
glad to do everything in our power to
support and encourage among friends
the good idea of j. p. n. of giving
| this public demonstration to Frank
l.. Kramer, who so well deserves the
| sympathies of the Americans.
We modestly suggest that instead of
a dinner a big reception at the Velo-
| drome be given, the first Sunday
| Kramer will be back, with band and
cabaret show from / o'clock to
o'clock, followed by good races, this
day to be called" Frank L. Kramer
Day" and should be a true, enthu-
| siastic demonstration to the wonder
! full giant of the wheel. Although we
make this suggestion, we leave it
to the experience and intelligence of
j. p. N. to arrange the affair the way
he thinks best
We advise all good friends and
fans TO go to the big reception and
show their admiration for Frank L.
Kramer in an enthusiastic way Our
modest contribution is ready-morally
/ and financially.
Yours very truly.
S. o. & CO.
The celebration viii require a lot of
work and there is not much time In
which to make the arrangements
Those who would join in honoring the
champion should allow their inten-
tons to be known.

Justice for Patsy Kline and a word
about the crap-shooter is contained in
the following letter.
| j. p. NJ:
Justice may be defined as that vir-
tue which impels us to give every per-
son what is his due-and that is my
motive in defending Patsy Kline
Why should Patsy be open to the
abuse of the Hill Boys?" Because
