Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1914-12-31

throned, yet when the SnadeS OF Iall
arrived, "Richard was himself again"
Kramer, though tales of woe are
rampant, seems to view the situa-
tIon in q cold-blooded manner. He
is waiting, no doubt, to come to the
bridge before jumping over It. He
has been a champion for years, and
he has never been found wanting.
When the old bell rings, as wonder
ful rider as is Goullet, with youth
and other things in his favor. the
next champion is quite likely to be
the champion of today.
