Wednesday night, Donald displayed
a rare burst here and there. He won
heat, but he couldn't win the race.
that honor falling to Kaiser but it is
said that McDougall was up against
a two-man combination. Smith, it is
said, was out to help Kaiser. and that
perhaps accounts for his desire to
race out in front. Why Smith should
impair his chance for Kaiser is hard
to figure out, for Tommy appears to
be quite as speedy as Harry. How
ever, sometimes the best "buller," as
the boys say, will get more than the
teaming going on in the amateur
ranks and there is all kinds of rough
riding. Referee Ross knows few
things, and the first thing some of
those star riders will find themselves
suspended. Smith should
go out on his own hook. He is a
fellow and he is very popu-
lar. McDougall, though. may come
pose Of the seekers of his amateur
crown.
A Kramer-Clark match race may
not be held for several weeks. Clark
is down with tonsilitis, but he Is said
to be coming along nicely. Mr..
Million said today that he couldn't
tell when Clark would be able to
ride, but when he did ride he would
have to be fit, Mr.. Million declared.
He wouldn't think of allowing Jackie
to race unless he was in the best of
health and the best possible condi-
ton. Kramer may also have some
thing to say when another match
with Clark comes up. Kramer will
race against a tandem next Sunday,
and he says he can beat two men on
wheel. The champion is riding fine,
and he was never in better form than
on Wednesday night Poor Old
Steve!''

The letters from Katz Yama, the
Japanese fan. which are being pub
lished from time to time in the Eve
ming Star, have proved so interesting
to Mr.. NJ hlon that he wants to show
his appreci alton, in a small way, for
he many pleasures he derives from
the Jap's communications. Mr..
Laughed his head off" as the
saying goes. after reading the KATE
Yama letter in this newspaper
night, and he told me
that he would give a season pass for
the Veledrome to Katz and another
one to his friend, Nish Nomura, il
they would only make their identity
known. So here's a chance. KATE
and Nish, for Mr.. Million will make
good.
o.
The Jap's letters are great and a
very wise fan is he. Nish. his side
partner, seems to be a little shy of
gray matter, but maybe Katz is CIV
ing him the worst of it. The express
big Steve" Kramer, created a
scream among the riders, and Harold
Difflee, one of the Velodrome judges,
says the Katz Yama letters are the
funniest he has ever read. KatZ
must be on the inside, for he was wise
TO the white cuffs" worn by Clark
in the match race. He was also
hep" to the concrete Judgment used
by Kramer. Both were in evidence,
but you wouldn't expect a raw Jap
anese fan to get on so early, when
even some Of the very smart fans
overlooked the fashion created by
Clark in his match race with Kra-
mer. But Katz Yama knew all about
it, it seems. The bandages were Of
but the nearest Katz
could come to them was white
cuffs" Yes, Yama IS a wise fan and
it is hoped that Nish will improve
as he goes along. One thing, though,
the japanese fans should not over
look is Mr.. Millions offer of two sea-
son passes for the Velodrome.

1t doesn't take long to make-a man
and it doesn't take long to break him.
a few days ago ago Frank Cava-
nagh, as Katzyoma would say, was
nothing" now he is the lion Of
the hour. Everybody seems to be
talking about Cavanagh, and the
riders themselves are taking off their
hats to him. Big Frank" made such
O. wonderful impression Wednesday
that he is the real fellow, for
the moment, in the bike game. 1t is
all up to Cayanagh to continue his
great riding. He can do it if he
sticks to business. What he needs is
a manager. and that's what lot of
other smart fellows need. Joe
Fogler, "the Batter" would be just
the fellow to bring Cavanagh to the
front. Joe has a great line of chat
ter, and Cavanagh needs some one to
drive him along.
o
Cavanagh as a contender would be
just the thing. He is a native-bo
American and he would have a ire
mendous following if he could only
win. He has the speed and he has
the staying qualities. but he is faint
hearted and refuses to punish him
self. Manager Mcfarland, how
ever, has a way to make Cavanagh
do his best at all times. Mac"
says that every time the big Fell
low" doesn't perform up to the mark
ne will put him on at the next meet
in one of those long distance tandem
paced races. II guess that will make
