there is always some one willing to
take a chance with a prospect.
O.
Patsy Kline made a trip down to
Baltimore yesterday to look over the
field. Dick Curley, his manager, was
with him. The men evidently went
to Baltimore to talk over fight with
George CLANCY. What progress was
made is not known. Kline has asked
for $3.50 for his share, and one of the
club promoters has offered him $3.50.
| If Kline will only hold off a few
days and allow the Baltimore News
to play up the controversy over the
! last match between Kline and
CLANCY. Patsy could demand $1,000
for his end-and he'd get it, too.
@
| Kline's presence in Baltimore has
stirred up more excitement. Danny
| Daniels, the expert on the News, had
an interview with Kline, in which
Patsy is said to have denied some
of the statements he made to me.
! Well Kline may deny what he said
and get away with it down in Balti-
more, but he has never done any
Icing up here in Newark that
know about. For the benefit of
Danny" I repeat here that Kline
said the gloves used in his fight with
CLANCY were pillows; that his share
of the purse was held by an outsider,
and that an agreement was made
beforehand that decision was not
to be rendered. On top of all that,
up. The Baltimore News may now
draw its own conclusions. But in
any event, Danny" be sure and
stir up the natives and then have
the club owners put on the fight. II
is great stuff-and the fighters and
the managers and the promoters will
thank you for your trouble. Yes
they will!
A correspondent works out prob
lem to his own satisfaction and ther
would like me to agree with him
The letter:
J. P. N:
Who is the best Splinter in thu
world after Kramer? Who do yol
think, j. P. NJ? Clark has defeated
Goullet many times in match races
so that puts "Goullie" out of it. Rut
and Clark have both beaten HourlieT
so that puts the Frenchman out o
it. Now Rutt and Clark are left. l
took Rutt three heats to beat CLAIR
in a match race, but it only too
Clark two heats TO win. Lastly
Clark has beaten Kramer twice Il
, match races, which is more than an
edge Clark is the second hes
Splinter in the world. What do yo
say?
t would like to see a ten-mile tan
dem race next Sunday between Rut
/, Goullet and Clark. Why doesn'
Kramer and all the good riders rid
/ in the tandem races? If MacFaI
: land could get Kramer to ride wit
some other rider in the tandem
J paced races it would make it niue
/ more interesting.
II a SuSBeSllOi. tliihh iiiC al
Il nouncer could tell when every mi
II is ridden in long distance races g
II the Yelodrome. This would hel
II the fans greatly and they woul
II know just how near the race is I
II the finish. IT would do no harm
II anyway, to try it. What do yo
II think?
H When did Clark. Goullet and Gre1
II da first appear as bicycle riders
II Newark? Hoping to see this in yol
II valuable columns, / am,
II A vELoDRoMER.
II Day in and day out, Rutt is Pc
II haps the next best man to Krame
II although Goullet, when he is RICH
| is the most dangerous man in Il
II field. With Kramer it is a case
II beating everybody. Just as soon ;
II one rider gets good" he goes pei
II nell after big Steve" Then
falls off in his form and along com
another fellow at his best to tack
III the champion. When you come
III figure it all out, there is no secon
II Kramer is first always and the OF
II ers. now and then, become h
II greatest rivals. You must be
II great friend of the riders to sugge
HI ten-mlle tandem-pac races. "
II must be a sort of Simon Legree. "
y want everybody to work hard. n
