be stopped absolutely in match races,
as after a race is on it should be run
on the track proper and not on the
flat, and the man in front on the pole
would be able to ride the race we
pay to see, instead of having one of
his competitors cut across the oval,
while he is watching for move from
someone on the track.
Note a remark i'm The Star that
there will be three amateur races
"wednesday evening, (which they will
appreciate, even if the fans do not"
Presume this remark was made on
account of the statement in your
Topics" Of last evening by some en-
amored lady fan who cannot see any
one else but herself and her own per-
sonal opinion. and has probably been
going to the races about two years. I
believe the fans like the amateur
races as well as the pros" with the
exception of the antics of the big
nine" They certainly put up as good
a race as the Invitation pro- riders,
and make as fast time, and, being
nearly all local boys, have many
friends among the spectators. In
fact, have heard the wish expressed
many a time from friends of some of
the Second-rate amateurs that the
management run an invitation for
them as well as the pros, as many of
them ride the year round and fill in
and make racing for the back-mark
ers with absolutely no chance to get a
place. What do you think about
this? Also, do you think the track is
large enough for a handicap of over
two miles. 1t seems like a farce to
put on a longer one, as the scratch
men never failed to get up in a two.
mile, if they tried. Tell Mac" to
shorten up the handicaps and give the
amateurs a chance in an invitation
once in a while, and see if the fan
ness would sleep while same was ON.
Excuse this, but it had to come OUT.
Respectfully,
ONE OF THE REGULARS.

Kramer is just lovely, according TO
the following missive:
j. P. N:
Your comments on bicycle affairs
are great. Rutt has certainly found
a good alibi when he accuses Kramer
and Goullet of teaming. He has lost
many admirers by his attacks on our
champion.
Clark was given another heat in
match against Kramer, l see by the
paper In my opinion he never won
that match several weeks ago. Kra-
mer said he won that second heat,
and l, for one. believe him.
Goullet is a mighty nice fellow and
Kramer shows just as good Judgment
in choosing friends as he does in VIM
ming races. Here's hoping that Frank
still continues to show the others how
to ride.

AN ARDENT BIKE FAN.
Your suggestion would be simply
great if you could work a six-day
race in somewhere. However, Man
ager MacFarland is nice man and
he may take your tip. But the riders
won't like it for a cent
