management won the hearts of the

Charley Korb, the jockey, who has
been playing a System" at Monte
Carlo for several weeks, is now on
his way to Vienna, where he is to
ride during the coming season. In u
letter to me, Korb says that he Just
about broke even on the system ="
which is not so bad after long stay
at Monte Korb expects to have a
great year in the saddle. for the
prospects of racing in Hungary are
brighter than ever. He will come
back here next winter and visit his
relatives and spend few happy
hours with his old friend. Tommy
Hansberry.

In a letter to me, Frank Million
tells about the wonderful trip he had
throughout Europe in an automobile.
"I cannot describe my auto tour, .
Mr.. Million says in his letter. and
you will have to wait until l can tell
you about 1t personally. 1t was SIM
ply great. But soon we will be in
Berlin for that six-day race, after
which We will start back for dear old
Newark. mcfarland has been work
ing hard over here and he has Sc
cured several of the best riders for
our Velodrome for next season. Mac"
has also been doping out q number of
novelty races, and the Newark fans
are sure to see some great racing.
Frank Kramer is riding so fast that
he even marvels at his own speed
He has taken Europe by storm this
time and they are giving him all the
credit due him. 1t has been a great
trip for us. but we will be glad to get
home

The Berlin X-day race has fur
nished its surprise. Joe Fogler and
Reggie Mcnamara were Tapped dur
ing a wild jam along with three Ger
man teams. The private cable to the
Evening Star says that the race has
been a hard one and that Mcnamara
has suffered much from spills. Fog

ament. for Joe was especially anxious
to win the Berlin grind. He trained
hard for the race and he looked upon
Mcnamara as a most worthy partner
These boys may get their lap back,
but [ doubt 1t. However. Fogler is
a fox, and he has been known to pull
Off more than one coup in a six-day
race. He may not make up the lost
ground, but he is likely to make life
miserable for the other riders who
are in the leading bunch. Joe isn't
much of a mixer as a general thing,
but when he becomes real peeved he
Is liable TO do most any old thing.
c.
Even with Fogler and Mcnamara a
lap behind. the Germans will not have
things their own way, for Eddie Root
and Jimmy Moran are still on the Job
in the Berlin grind. Moran is said to
be riding like his old self and is the
same old bear cat" of yore, and
Root, as everybody knows, Is one of
the best men in the six-day game. If
Eddie is in at the finish he will take
some beating, even from Walter Rutt,
the big German"

Frank Kramer, our American cham
pion, is invincible abroad. He has vet
to lose race, and he has met so far
most of the best men in Europe.
Kramer was a starter yesterday in
the Prize Consul General Stakes. a
most important race, and he won it.
defeating Victor Dupre and Emil
Friol, who finished as named. Surely
our champion is giving us much to be
proud of, and there is bound to be a.
royal welcome on his return There
are few Kramers in this world, and
yet he has never been made much of
by the populace. He is applauded by
friends and admirers at the track. but
he has never been the hero of a public
demonstration in his own environ
ment. Over in Europe he Is referred
to as Allah, and he has been wined
and dined in great style, over here in
his native heath he is not given any
more than the usual attention that
goes to a winner

Banty Lewis and Kid Boonton have
arranged with Bill Brown to meet at
the Brown Gym in New York on
Tuesday evening. March II. The ar
rangements were made Saturday
night and both boys will get right
down to hard training. Lewis is very
confident of success, and his friends
are anxious to back him for a. lot of
money. 1t is said, though, that Boom
! tons hackers, who were numerous
not long ago, have become scarce and
that the prospects of much betting
are not particularly bright. As re-

Lewis is giving away Ave pounds and
Boonton, 1t is believed will be strong
at III pounds ringside, which is the
weight agreed upon, although he
looks to be pretty big boy for such
light poundage While admitted to be
