until he shows he isn't there the old
guard is suure TO stick TO him. Kra-
mer Is the giant of the bike game
and Clark is the little giant-killer.
Jackie has tumbled many of the
great men Of the game into the dis
card. but he has never been able to
dispose of "Old Steve" In q French
style match race. Kramer should
win over Clark. and his victory will
probably be more decisive than 1t
was over Walter Rutt.

Walter Rutt didn't go to Atlantic
City after all. On the advice of Floyd
mcfarland. manager of the Velo-
drome, Rutt and his trainer, Jimmy
Hunter, left for the seashore yester-
day. When they reached the depot
Rutt was suffering SO much pan from
his fractured collar bone that he de-
cided to give up the trip and go and
see the doctor He insisted on an
x-rav examination, which, by the
way, disclosed that the collar bone
had not been set properly, and the
reason for the suffering was apparent.
Tho fracture was reset and Rutt is
resting nicely today. On advice OF
the doctor Walter will not go to At
lantic City. He will remain close at
hand. where his injury may be treat
ed regularly and properly. Rutt was
anxious to take rest and MacFar-
land felt It would do him good.

Frank Million, the cycling promoter,
is contemplating trip to Europe. He
plans to take in the fight between
Jack Johnson and Frank Moran, billed
for late in June, and while he is over
there he may sign Bill Bailey, the
former worlds champion amateur,
who is making good ss q professional,
to come over here and race. Vic
Johnson is another man Mr.. Million
has in view. johnson is still an anna
teur, and Bailey always contended
that it was about an even thing be-
tween he and Vic. Bailey would be a
big card over here. He won many
friends when he rode here as an anna
teur last year, and his second to
Champion Kramer in the Raster
Prize in Paris, in which he defeated
Friol, is evidence that BIZ is some
rider, Johnson, If he is as god as
they say he is, would have soft going
with our amateurs. Donald McDou-
gall can't race q lick, and Harry
Kaiser hasn't shown anything like
championship form. The best boy
around here seems TO be little Tommy
Smith, who is racing very well. He
might be able to give johnson an
argument If he would take few
lessons in match race riding.

Newark isn't doing very well on
the road, and the team Is now-for
the first time is going on to two years
though, mind youth the second d.
vision. That doesn't mean anything
only it looks bad on the surface for
the champions to be so far away from
the front. However, there appear:
| to be no real cause for worry. New.
ark has the goods, and on out-and-
out baseball she has nothing to fear
The Tigers are bound to get in theil
stride and when they do they will &c

The Federal League circuit will
not be the same next year as 1t Il
this year. This information comes
from an authoritative source, but /
doesn't require any intelligence tC
observe that changes must happen
The OUTLAWS" however, are kidding
themselves. and they will tell yol
that not a single break will occur
Well. time alone will tell. In thu
first place, the chances are that tn,
Feds will get together with the "regu

Gus. The regulars are "practlca
men," as Teddy Roosevelt would say
and they are not going to cut OF

lose and both sides will be dead will

is over.

While the big leaguers will suffe
