Walter Rutt, the worlds champion,
doesn't look much like the sick man
! ne was painted to be before the big
Germans arrival In this country.
On the other hand, Rutt seems to be
the picture of health, and the way
| he talks he was never in better shape
| in his life. He comes here to make
a good showing, and 1t will be no
| fault of his If he doesn't beat every
| body In sight. He is the world s
! champion, and he is not n phony one,
either, and he comes over to match
his speed against the best men in the
land. over in Europe Rutt Is be-
! lieved to be the best man, but some
say Leon Hourlier is entitled to
that honor. Rutt, however, as an all
around rider, Is surely better than
| Hourler. and when the fans around
here once see this bird ride handi-
cap they will surely agree with me.
Rutt is bear, and there is only one
man, in my opinion, who can beat
him. That man is Frank l.. Kramer,
| who is now in Europe. beating them
all over there.
o
Champion Kramer's name recalls
the fact THAT hosts of his friends and
admirers are arranging for big cele-
bration and a dollar dinner in his
honor on his arrival in this country.
There is a little difficulty as to the
date but II is believed that arrange
ments can be made to hold the dinner
on Saturday, April rs, and If not, it
will probably have to be held on Sun
day. April IS. Just as soon as 1t is
known what date may be secured the
committee which is to have charge Of
the affair will make It's plans known.
The dinner Is sure to be success, and
Kramer's thousands of friends and
admirers should show an interest in
the affair.
From what | hear, Champion Kra-
mer will be flooded with post cards
of views of his favorite State. In the
Evening Star the other day ] pub
lsfred his address, but ! neglected to
mention that In mailing the cards a
two-cent stamp should be used. That
is the law, and II only a penny stamp
Is put on the card Kramer will never
receive it, For fear there are some
fans who would like to send the cham
pion a post card and who neglected
to copy his address printed in these
columns the other day, here 1t goes
again:
Frank l.. Kramer,
Belfast Hotel,
10 Avenue Carnot,
Paris, France.

Kramer is deserving of great atten-
ton, for he has been the means OF
giving New Jersey much clean and
wholesome publicity. He is, perhaps,
the greatest athlete of the age. He
has been champion for thirteen
years and he has been model living
young man all his life. He is "a credit
to New Jersey, and for his friends and
his admirers to prepare big cele-
bration in his honor is paying small
part of a big debt.

Pete Prunty, the announcer, has
been engaged to give the results OF
the races at the Velodrome to the
fans during the coming season. Prunty
Is considered the best man In the
business. He was signed up this
morning. Eddie Bedford, who did the
announcing last year, has been
"canned." This change from Bedford
to Prunty will give the scandal-mon-
gers a good opportunity to swing
their hammers.
Gus Schwarz, the local boy, is back
homo from Jack Dunn's Baltimore
training camp, and he Is a pretty
sore boy. He doesn't return as a
failure. for he was making good with
the orioles, but "Gabby Jack" be-
cause Schwarz got into mix-up over
a horse with Dunn's son, simply
canned Schwars. The Newarker
isn't making any complaint about
being let out, but what peeves him is
he doesn't know where he stands.
Dunn wouldn't give Schwarz his re-
lease, but told him to watch the
papers. The papers say that Schwarz
is released. II that Is so the boy
would be tickled to death. He admits
he cut up a few pranks. and that a
,-;l doxun
under him. The fact that Jack Dunn,
IT., was with Schwar5 on the lark is
what apparently makes Jack Dunn,
ST., so excited. The Newark boy has
several offers, but he can't move
until he hears from Dunn.

Patsy Kline says he isn't much of
a talker, and he doesn't want to get
into any controversy with any of the
fighters or their friends who are
having so much to say in the papers
lately. Patsy called at the Evening
Star today.
ut is this way" said Kline, II want
TO flght--not talk. i will meet Banty
Lewis or Irish Mahon. but they will
have to give me a side bet of some
kind and have the purse go winner
take all. Lewis doesn't want to fight
me and has told me so. We are
friends and / have nothing against
Banty. His friends, however, are try
ing to make it appear as If l never
have met good man. As for Mahon,
would like to meet him, but If he
fights me I'll be surprised, If I can't
beat Mahon. Lewis or any of the
