more and more races and admlra ton
| from the cycling fans of the world.
Very truly yours,
/ S. o. & co.
This letter is from Katz Yama, the
Japanese bike fan, so read care
fully:
]. P. NJ:
Honorable Editor, Sport Topics and
Other Hourley Iniouities:
Sir-I ask to injuire why it are
Jackie Clark are parbo led so often
by you. 1t are not necessary, as
Jackie is nice tender, honest little
boy, who can keep out of all kind
of trouble but print.
You make Fourth of July remark
in your honorable column Monday
about Jackie teaming with Frank
Cavanagh, who are going to free
Ireland as soon IS he gets little big
ger. 1t were hot shot you threw
just like what captued Vera CRUZ
and 1t make Tom Dugan, who are
Jackie's prime minister, very sore.
Tom were SO sore about remarks you
print about that five-mile race he
wish you in Mex co City with Huerta,
the man who have stiff neck and
can't salute.
l know Jackie did not team, for
Jackie sad so. Sure, if Jackie team
ed he would say so. You say sui
phuric things about Jack because
you don't know Jackie Clark. Jackie
are very kind hearted. liberal boy
Just because Cavanagh make bad
mistake and start his print too soon
u
and give Frank $25 of his money.
But for bad error of intillest," say
Jackie to Frank, You would win
that race and l would get second
so here are $25. I'll keep second
money which are also s25.
Jackie are no philanthropic piker
when he go f1fty-fifty. just like that
when he don't have to. 1t were not
only nice thing for Jackie to do, but
1t save much bookkeeping for the
firm of CaVanagh and Cameron, Ito.
Cameron, who are celebrated tunnel
broker, and Cavanagh agree in tun-
mel to split Their winnings on the
day-just for sporting spirit. Monday
Cameron see his Junior partner in
qu'et spot where Japanese school
boy hi" photographs of all Amer
lean forts.
Frank say George, al won s25
in tandem race Sunday, so / guess I
owe you $3.50"
NO" reply Frank, this firm are
even, Clark gave me $25 for making
mistake in five-mile race. SO don't
make entry in books-th's firm are
well oalanced. KATE YAMA.
This letter is what is known in
newspaperdom as a gem of the blue
white variety. 1t tells a pretty story
IN an odd but no doubt truthful way.
G
Tit following letter, dealing with
cycling, should prove especially inter
esting to the Champion Kramer fans:
j. P. NJ:
You certainly are giving II. some
interesting bits on the bicycle game
and 1 hope your speed" will never
grow less. Kramer Is fully entitled
to all the kind words you are giving
him, and | hope to see the cleanest
and best rider in the world win the
1914 championship. Poor Mr.. Rutt is
in for walloping. but the "Old Mas
ter is always considerable.
That the Kramer dinner will be a
success L have no doubt, but really.
J. P. N, don't you think the ladies'
should have been invited? Kramer
has many loyal supporters among the
Harnesses, and | do not believe the
dinner would have been any the less
a success if they had been permitted
to attend.
Note your remarks about Goullet's
riding Sunday. 1t did seem to me
that he was riding fast enough to
win most any race, and l do wish Mr..
MacFarland would give him some of
that sage advice that he handed Mr..
Goullet two years ago and made of
him almost champion.
Jackie Clark is deserving of almost
all you are giving him, but please be
little merciful. Soak the other fell
lows just as hard, for you'll never
make me believe that Jackie and Cav
anaugh was the only team at work
in that famous five-mile open. All
should have been punished and then
there would be some encouragement
for rider like Goullet, whom no one
could accuse of receiving any help
whatever in the race.
By the way, rout the gambler. X
you had overheard all the STUFF he
handed out Sunday you would have
written him up a little stronger.
Can't you give me a tip how to To-
cate the Same Bike Fanness" and
IS. o. & Co." in the grand stand?
A REGULAR FANNESS.
April q, 1914.
Thanks for those kind words. The
Kramer dinner is an assured success
and would have been even more so
with the ladies present. Goullet is
i riding we'll, but Mcfarland will be
unable to give him any advice be-
cause of hie managerial connections.
Clark is we'll able to look after his
own affairs, but perhaps he should
be given credit for getting away
with a lot of stuff around the bike
! track. Some of the others might take
a chance and fare no worse There
may have been many other combina-
lions in the five-mile race last Sun
day, but Rutt and Grenda were not
working together. If they had been
Rutt would have won easily. The
gambler is becoming desperate and
has threatened to stop the bike races
am waiting to hear from Railway
am not acquainted with either the
"Same Bike Fanness" or IS. o. &
Co"
Goodness knows there are views
and views, but this one has Goulle+
and Fogler teaming in last Sunday
five-mile event at the Velodrome:
