CYCLISTS TO VELODROME

ing him by racing him In those hard
races In which we start such big
fields. This wear the old "champer"
will ride matches almost exclusively
the best sprinters IN the world
will oppose him.
Demand Kramer-Rutt Match.
They are clanoring here In Paris
and also in Berlin and Brussels for
a match between Kramer and Rutt.
but | think that great match will be
saved for the fans Of Newark It
is amusing TO see the cartoons In the
'apers here in reference TO a Kramer
Rutt match. Some have Kramer
afraid and others show Rutt with
cold feet Whna il is all very anus
g personally believe that they
are afraid of each other. Rutt. of
course. would much ra.ser lose to
Kramer In America than he would
here. If he is TO be beaten All last
a single r,~+ 80 - l7oes not want
wonderful record marred.
Moretti Mag Come Here.
l am dickering with both Moretti
and Oliveri. the two italian stars.
and feel sure I will get one of them.
l prefer Moretti. who is the better OF
rider in Europe, and has wonderful
burst of speed. Last year he was in
the final or both the grand prize Of
Paris and the championship OF the
world and won over all Of the best
sprinters with the exception OF Rutt
He is a Young fellow and l expect to
see him better than ever the coming
season.
Kramer In Fine Form
Kramer is riding exceptionally well
I would not be surprised to see him
win every match he rides over here.
Probably Rremer's first match will
be with Meuger. a new rider who
came to the front last year and is
very fast. At this writing. however
none of Kramer's matches have been
arranged.
Paris Great Sport City.
Paris is the greatest sporting city
in the world. J. P. N. and l wish
simply revel here where sports apr"r-
emily come before ANYTHING else. All
SPORTS are on q big scale here and
events that would not interest you or
I draw immense crowds.
Looks Fighters Over.
I went out to see Jack Johnson last
Friday and he is in great condition,
all reports to the contrary notwith-
;tanding If he is in the same condi-
ton when he meets Frank Moran the
black should win in walk. also
saw Carpenter. and he has filed out
wonderfully since last winter. He
ia a Drettv nifty fighter.

"No Cause for Alarm"-Tener.

Governor John K Tener, president
of the National League, who was in
Philadelphia yesterday, declared that
from present indications every club
in the league will take the field at the
opening of the season with practically
the same personnel as last year.
After he had conferred with Presi-
dent Baker, OF the Philadelphia club
for more than an hour, the Governor
said that he believed the "Phillies"
will not lose a player except Knabe.
Governor Tener declared the reports
he has received from all the clubs
on the circuit are extremely crafty
ing. The club officials, he said, are
making rapid progress in signing
players to contracts which were sent
out later than usual this year because
of the concessions granted to the
players fraternity.
