\ few nice words for Champion
Kramer and approval OF a match race
to be held next Sunday at the Velo-
drome:
J. 2. ":
What makes some people say that
Kramer had an understanding with
Goullet? / was there that Sunday
when the Newark thousand-dollar
prize was run. 1t seems to me, in
stead CT saying this about him, they
ought to honor him. I think Kramer
Won this race fair and square. Last
Wednesday evening they shut
Kramer out of that race. Didn't you
think so? I read your valuable paper
very much. ] think that would be a
very nice match race between W.
Murray and p. Chanin.
\ REAL BIKE FANNESS.
J. P. ".
I have not been appointed COM
mittee of one to write this note to
YOU, but I know that u number of
cycling fans that come to and return
from the Velodrome by way of Mum
avenue find the couple Of feet of dust
that has collected on that street from
South Orange avenue to the East
Orange line great annoyance To
them. That stretch of the street ought
to be oiled regularly, because many
automobiles make the trip to and
from the races. As the machines go
at a very fast clip, the street has the
appearance OF a windstorm on the
desert and mars an otherwise en-
IL 10. hn
races.
Some of the Newark highway COM
missioners should give the street
some attention. as I en- sure they
would if they were aware Of condi-
tons. If you want any additional
first hand information just ask
Frank Kramer. who must know every
bump on the road by this time. Frank
knows what his fellow toVnsmen and
neighbors in the Oranges must en-
counter in that dusty stretch. l am
sure this mild protest is going TO
supply the remedy, for you got them
all listening TO you, j. p. n, and de-
servedly SO.
AN ORANGE REGULAR.
Orange, June IA.
Mum avenue seems to be some
place. on the Mum avenue turn is
where most of the switching is done
on the bike track and on the street
proper comes complaint of dust.
