Kramer. Frank CaVanagh, Joe Fog
Ter and Fred Hill raced to victory in
the international team match at the
Velodrome last night and defeated
| in straight heats the Australian team
of Aft Goullet, Aft Grenda, Bob
Spears and Ernie Pye The jockeying
in this race by the American team
was par excellence and drew forth
many favorable comments from the
crowd Of 5000 VINO saw and appreci-
ated the clever tactics employed by
| the Yanks.
Kramer. Of course, was the speed
star of the Yankees. but Joe Fogler,
who played the part of tactician,
deserves fully as much credit for
the victory. Joe went through two
heats without using an ounce Of leg
energy, but his headwork put to
rout the speed of Spears in the first
heat and the 200 horse power energy
Of Goullet and Grenda in the deciding
heat.
Big Cavanagh was a tower of
strength also, and without his aid
the Yanks would never have taken
the deciding heat. Frank starred in
dividually in the two mile scratch in
vitation, which was pretty much an
all-star race. With a great burst Of
prolonged speed the giant won this
race, and his opportune jump, when
Kramer, Grenda and Goullet were in
the rear of the field. landed him in
first place and incidentally shut the
three big stars out of the money.
Cayanagh in Sensational Form.
Cavanagh's riding was sensational
to say the least, and his many friends
were wild with JOY when he raced
the probable winners off their feet.
The other feature of the evenings
racing was the three-cornered anna
teur match race which was won by
Harry Kaiser, of the Bronx, after
four bitterly fought heats.
There were many restarts in the
races, the first of which came in the
team match In the first heat Kra-
mer jumped through on the pole at
the bell and bumped Grenda, which
caused the latter to pull his left foot
out of the pedal The heat was
stopped. While Grenda was getting
ready for a second start. the second
heat was put on and in this heat Fog
Ter completely out-jockeyed Spears
and Pye, allowing Cavanagh to win
by many yards, while Fogler himself
took second. At the start Pye
| jumped and tried steal. but Fogler
went after him and Cavanagh took
care of Spears in the rear, thirty
! yards away. At four laps to go, Pye
| jumped again and Fogler made dive
! after him, but when Joe saw Cava-
nagh was moving and on his way, he
rode straight up the bank and
| "Dutched' Spears, who was about to
set sail for Cavanagh.
Fogler pranced around Spears like
a mounted traffic cop until Pye and
Cavanagh were so far in the lead
there was no possible chance of
catching them. Cayanagh, of course,
won the heat. As Frank started the
final lap having Tapped Fogler and
Spears, Joe rode up to offer his as
sistance to Frank, but dove away
from the speeding mogul when he
saw assistance was superfuous. Fog
ler's clever work drew forth a round
| of applause.
Third start Success.
A second attempt was made to run
the first heat. but it was stopped
again, when Hill broke a chain. The
third start was a success and Hill
made himself as much Of a pest TO
Grenda and Collie as Fogler was in
the first heat. Hill kept the two AUS
tralians apart throughout the race,
and Kramer went on and won, riding
from the front Kramer led almost
all the way. while Hill Goullet and
Grenda Unanswered for positions.
Entering the homestretch at the bell
lap. Goullet made a great jump and
was slightly ahead of Kramer down
the homestretch, but big Steve" was
equal to the occasion and had his
chin in front in the middle of the
turn. Pulling away, Frank got Goul-
let on his hip and was eased up a bit
Just as Grenda came dashing up with
a burst of speed and appeared as
though it was going to carry him
right on by and to victory Again
Kramer jumped out and put 1t all in
from the middle of the backstretch
to the tape, winning by comfortable
margin, with Grenda second The

speed. in twelve seconds fiat. He was
| the champion of old ana SIMPLY I'M
| beatable, fighting off the attack OF
two of the strongest riders in the
sport. This gave the Yanks two
points, While the Antipodeans had
scored none.
The next heat, which decided the
race, was a wonderful race. It was fast
and a terrific battle for four laps. The
| Yanks lined UP in front with the or.

| Fogler. The Australian lineup was

him off. For two laps Pye battleo
