very well for an actor Loftes rides
at Boston, and he may come on here
to do some pacing in the worlds
cycling derbies.
Praise for Moretti and few words
about the fighters:
]. P. N:
Pronounce me incorrigible because
l write these few lines, but Morettfs
victory Sunday and his return TO
form compels me to take my pen in
hand. Heretofore, because of Moret-
it's riding, he was open to much
criticism and abuse from the cycling
fans. Perhaps they were justified in
their opinion, but now all his critics
will agree with me that MacFarland
made no mistake when he summoned
the italian to the Velodrome CYou
can leave it to Mac to pick the
plums). On SUNDAY Moretti showed
us he possessed a thinking cap as
well as speed. equaling the one
eighth of a mile record. Henceforth,
Ioretti will show to advantage If his
victory Will not produce those symp-
toms known as swell headness.e
People may make a fuss about who
Is going to win the American sprint
championship. Here is my tip-stop
speculating-Ffank L. Kramer will
win.
While bestowing my praises upon
Boonton. MeVeigh, Lewis and Donley,
l neglected to mention Young Grad
well, and ! sincerely apologize TO the
''Admirer of Gradwell." Gradwell, in
my estimation, is the best lightweight
in this vicinity, bar none. He in
forms me that he is open to meet
any one of the above, Donley except
ed, as Mickey weighs only 124 pounds
winner to take entire purse and for
good substantial side bet. Grad
well is a perfect gentleman and a
superb boxer, and he can be found
training daily at Troxler's He is
unlike his professional brethren, who
have good time and neglect TO
train. Gradwell deserves publicity.
I beg to remain, as ever,

A bike fan presents some interest

j. p N:
Saw your intelligent answer of my
questions and thank you for same.
=. H., I,,A

it again. 1 regret exceedingly to be
obliged to decline your nomination of
me as referee at the "old timers"
race. l also want to thank you for
the compliment of my intelligent
letters" However, I hope there is
no hard feeling on the subject and if

| gather from the races Sunday aft
ernoon that Goullet's championship
aspirations have had decided crimp
put in them, the "Old Master" evil
IDENTIFY wishing to get rid of the alien
for good. Moretti put UP ride that
surprised everyone In the one-mile
championship, when the big Italian
rode the final in record time Big
Steve" couldn't gain an inch on him,
which showed that the Italian was in
fine condition. That is the best he
has shown SO far. Cavanagh also
showed streaks of almost human in
telligence and if he would ride more
races the way he rode yesterday he
would have a bigger bank account
and a better contract. Evidently his
sickly-looking motor car has put new
life in him. He will find out shortly
that it takes gasoline to run the
motor and money to buy the gaso-
line, and the money is on the track,
where the big Celt will have to work
for It,
It seemed to be the rule. rather
than the exception, to do the last
eighth under u seconds, as four
events brought in time better than 10
seconds. BY the way, ]. p. N, you
informed me some time ago that
General mcfarland would stage a
multicye1e race in August Will this
be during the Derby or will they be
used only in pacing? Thanking you
for your kindness, remain, very sin
cerely.

You are game. all right MacFar-
