string of triumphs. If the report is
true Kramer will NEE the worlds
champion, Walter Rutt May 3, 10 and
II, in three match races, in three
battles, which will be the hardest of
his career. May and II will, in our
opinion. be two hard races, N which
the two great champs will 81 lal
honors by winning a match each. Tie
meet of April IL will be the meet of
Impotence which will decide the SUI
perority of one of the two riders.
In our opinion Kramer will come
out the winner in two out of the three
races. Rutt proved by last Sundays

He can beat, we believe, big Steve"

ta'ked-of pugilist. Young Pavese, was
billed to meet Kid Boonton in the
star bout at TroXler's Monday night.
We have heard much of him. at least
of his ring exploits, and 1t remains
to lie seen il he really S what he Is

Boontcn he has very hard task. and
If he beats the Orange terror in fl ur

]. p. N, have read much regard
ing the popularity contest to deter
mine who is the most popular cyclist
at the Ne'odrome. If such a contest
is held by the Evening Star the out
come would be b tween Kramer and
Clark. In my estimation. it wouldn't
create much interest. 1t would be toe
one-sided. But, oh you Kramer!
While on the subject of popularity
why not start contest to determine
who is the most popular boxer in this
vicinity. Some would say Weinert,
others Kline and still others Banty
Every section of the city-the Hill
and the Ironbound district-have then
favorites. So let me repeat aga n
who is the NEST popular boxer in an6
around Newark? AS ever.
