KRAMER TO FINISH
HIS TOUR MONDAY
Yankee Cyclist Likely to Close
Campaign With Victory in
Easter Prize.
RATE M'DOUGALL HIGH NOW

Champion Frank Kramer will ride
his last race in Europe next Monday
and he is more than likely to close his
European campaign with a victory.
The Yankee scored a brilliant victory
over Leon Hourlier, Emil Frio and
Victor Dupre, three of the best men
In France, Wednesday, which shows
that the champion is still in winning
form. The Easter prize, a Eurneeati
classic, will be Kramer's last race and
the heats will be contested on Sum-
day with the final on Easter Monday.

When Bill Bailey left those shores
last October he was rated as a great

not determined as he had met but one

the Yankee was not in the best Of

boy must be rated as one of the
best riders I'm the world. He per-

There is more or less doubt as to
whether or not there will ever be any
moro bike racing in Salt Lake City.
The historic Western track was al
most totally destroyed by fire Satur-
day night, and 1t is doubtful If 1t will
be rebuilt. Salt Lake was n great
bike town when the stars rode there,
but they will not stand for second
class performers. and last year the
game blew mp when Harry Heagron
attempted to run with a band of
mediocre riders. The year previous
Floyd mcfarland managed the track
and the big fellow had the greatest
galaxy of stars every seen there ard
the fans gave him fine support.

Today will be big day at the yelo-

cycling enthusiasts who gather there
every day to see the riders train will
be given real feast. Every one of

HAMILTON FLOPS
TO OUTLAW LEAGUE
But Johnson Says He viii Pre-
vent Pitcher from Playing
With Feds.
HIS SALARY IS DOUBLED

President Ban Johnson, of the
American League yesterday after
noon declared war upon the Federal
League in the most emphatic termF
when he learned that the Kansas
city Federals had signed Pitcher
Hamilton under contract TO the st.
Louis Browns, and that Hamilton
had left to join Stovalrs Federals.
The American League Will stop
Hamilton IL it takes every dollar In
the treasury" said Johnson. He
signed a most liberal three-ye con-
tract with the st. Louis Browns, and
nothing will be left undone until we
check him of his wilful violation of
his contract"
A $4,000 bonus and three-year
contract for a total of $4,000 was the
bait that caused Hamilton to jump
from the st. Louis American League
team to the Kansas City Federal
League team, according to Clarence
Walker. Hamiltons roommate. who
was present when the deal was closed
yesterday morning. Walker eX-
planned as follows:
"StoVall walked into Hamilton's
room before breakfast. laid $4,000 on
the table, and said: Ham, here is the
best we can do. Well give you this
$1,000 and three-year contract for
s2l 900. VIII you join us?'
Hamilton answered. Make IL $1,000
in advance and I'll sign the contract
now
An argument ensued, which culmi-
mated when Stovall extracted another
$1,000 bill from a bag he was carrying
and piled it ON top of the four bills
already on the table. and said: Now,
will you sign?
We'll" said Walker. when Ham
saw all those five $1,000 bills and the
contract which assured him he would
get his money whether or not he
played a game with the Kansas City
Federals, he started packing his
case"
