CLARK AND KRAMER
READYFOR THE GUN
Both Riders in Superb Condition
for Their Match at
VelOdrOme.

Jackie Clark and Frank Kramer
finished their hard training yester-
day for their match Sunday at the
Velodrome, although both riders will
do a little light work today. The
riders are in superb condition, and
are satisfied that it will require their
best efforts to be put forth Sunday.
in sprints yesterday afternoon they
both registered As seconds for a
twelfth of n mile. On speed Kramer
has nothing on 1.-THE Rocket" and II
Frank is returned the winner his
wonderful generalship will be largely
responsible for the victory.
1t Is the consensus of opinion
among the riders that Clark is
sprinting faster than Kramer, but,
as one old-timer said yesterday II q
rider is able to do fat for twelfth
and Kramer can't beat seconds, the
Yankee would be the winner in
match, which seems to be q wise and
truthful assertion. Walter Rutt was
sprinting Just as fast as Kramer
before their matches, and so was
Emil Friol before he was defeated
by the Yankee. But in the face of
this there are many who fancy little
Jackie's chances tomorrow. The ma
jority, however, will pin their faith
on the ever-reliable Kramer.
so
Floyd Krebs ventured the opinion
Yesterday that Clark will beat
Kramer but the Flying Dutchman"
with the clipped wings discounted the
value of his opinion by appending the
assertion that by July he and Jackie
would be the only riders in the run
ming.
a
Battling Joe" Fogler says that he
is the one best bet in the ten-mile
tandem-paced race tomorrow and
will surely lead the way for ALI
Goullet and Frank Cavanagh.
Following the tandems is new
role for Cavanagh, and Manager
MacFarland put him in this match
as a punishment for chasing 81 lap
prizes in the 100-kilometer team race
Of several weeks ago.
Tomorrow will be a regular field
day for the second and third-class
riders. They will have two races all
10 themselves, and they have been
warned not to team, under penalty
of being barred in future second and
third-clasS races.
Big ALI Grenda, the mighty man
from Tasmania, Will start in only one
race tomorrow, the two-thirds- mile
handicap being the only race in
which he will perform. He will ex-
tend his generous assistance, how
ever, to one of the riders in the
tandem paced match.
Worlds Champion Walter Rutt is
in Newark, and will be at the Velo-
drome tomorrow to see Clark battle
with Kramer. He may learn more
about how to beat Kramer by watch
ing this match.
From the way Clark has been
training, he evidently is going to race
Kramer from behind. Every profess
sional rider says that if this is his
line of battle he is doomed to certain
defeat.
Amateur Champion Donald Me-
Dougall is riding in much better
form now than at any time this sea-
son. and, barring accidents and poor
judgment, should win his first race
of the year tomorrow. Little Mac
did a twelfth Thursday in seconds
fiat, which will win all of the anna
teur races.
All OF the traffic cops on the new
turnpike from Jersey City are laying
for Fogler for speeding, and some
day he will be languishing in a Jer-
sey City cooler While the races at
the Velodrome go on without him.
All of the cops know Joe. too. We'll
get that 'Velodrome villain yet" said
one of the minions of the law to Ed
win Newman, of the c. r. A, as the
latter went racing by at the rate of
six miles an hour yesterday.
There is evidently just as much in
terest in the Kramer-Clark match as
there was in the Kramer-Rutt
matches. There has been a bigger
advance sale for this match than for
the matches between the champions.
