Champion Frank Kramer became
very angry yesterday afternoon up
at the Velodrome, and during his
flled mental state he crushed every
Yestige OF hope end ambition out OF
the brave heart of ALT Goullet, whom
he defeated in three out of four
meats In sprint match race. Goul-
let appeared to have chance until
the champions brain was set to re-
Volving in the mad swirl of a brain
storm. After that the Yankee hand
ed the Australian a decisive beat
ing. Goullet won the first heat and
Kramer was first in the next three
heats
The incident referred to occurred
IN the second heat of the race
Gouilet was leading at the twelfth
pole and looked to be winner OF
the heat, which would have given
MIN the match, as he, earlier in the
day, had won the first heat of the
contest. But, just when Kramer
was apparently beaten. he uncorked
jump the like of which was never
seen in match at the local race
course before. He was up and by
the Australian before the latter
could say Jack Robinson, but as he
sailed by the champion Chopped
Goullets whiskers off, as the riders
say, and for that act he was fined
S25 by the referee and the heat was
declared mo heat" The champion
had the heat won, and the fact that
he crossed directly in front of Goul-
let's path had no part in the AUS
tranan's defeat, but the crowd Kissed
and the referee acted. Then the
crowd cheered. And Kramer became
very much peeved. The champion
did not mind the fine, but he did not
ike the idea of having to ride the
heat over.
When he came out for the third
heat there was the CLINT of fire in
the champions eyes and his chin
protruded at q most menacing angle.
The crowd was quick to perceive the
champions mental attitude, and
they sat back, sure that the Miracle
Man of Cycling was going to per-
form one of his superhuman acts
And he did. He gave the foreigner
full swing until the head of the
backstretch on the final lap. Then,
with a jump, mightier than the one
In the preceding heat, Frank Louis
dashed by the Australian and was
travelling SO swiftly around the final
turn "Goullie" abandoned the strug-
gle, saving his strength for the next
heat, which would decide the race
The final heat was practically a
repetition of the third heat, except
that the Yankee started his final
effort twenty yards sooner. And 1t
was just as decisive.
The champion outclassed the Aus
tralian, even though Goullet did take
the first heat In the first heat
Kramer waited too long and Goullet
came through a winner by half a
length. The fans were somewhat
surprised at the ease with which
Goullet won the first heat and there
appeared to be an air OF resignment
TO the fate of the "Old Master" for
he surely appeared to be facing a
better rider. Goullet was accorded
a fiattering ovation after his victory
in this heat but 1t was nothing to
the demonstration which followed
Kramer's win in the third heat. And
when the champion took the decd-
ing heat the fans went mad. There
PROBABLY never was a greater ova-
ton accorded the champion than
that which followed his ultimate vic
tory. And it may be said that that
victory was very sweet to the rider
from East Orange.
Egg Finally Beaten.
Some unknown general in the camp
of Reggie Mcnamara showed the
ability of a master strategist, and
the Australian iron man encom-
passed the defeat of the Durable
Swiss in the fifteen-mile tam
DEM paced match. Mcnamara de-
serves all the credit in the
world for his victory, but he can
well thank the man who directed
his pace. Though beaten, Egg was
fully as good as the victor and he
oh a had he ridden "A
different sort of a race. Mcnamara
had declared that he was going to
carry the fight to the Swiss rider,
but this he did not do. Instead he
followed Egg until nine and a half
miles had Deen covered, when he
suddenly jumped around and into the
lead and before the European rider
was provided with pace to meet the
occasion, the Australian had picked
up a lead of half a lap, which he
suited in his victory. When NcNa-
mara refused to take the aggressive,
Egg went to the front and his pace
makers, confident of his ability tried
to wear Mcnamara down. Instead,
they completely exhausted them
selves without doing the least harm
to Mcnamara, who, at the same
time, was giving his pacemakers an
easy ride all the way. They fol-

having a good rest for the big coup,
while Eggs pacemakers were ex-
hausting themselves without obtain
ing the desired result.
With a fresh team to take him,
Mcnamara ran away from EGG,
when he made his jump and there
was not a good team left in the Egg
camp. Until Cesar Moretti and
Goullet were gotten astride of tan
dem, Mcnamara continued to gain.
This crack team ended the Aus
tralians onslaught and made a per-
ceptible gain and they gave the
other pacemakers a chance to re-
cover to some extent But the race
was lost. McNamara's pacemaker5
were fresh enough at the time they
made the successful bid to carry it
to finish, but Egg gained consider
able ground in the last two miles,
cutting McNamara's lead from 22o
yards to less than 100 yards There
was only one time when Egg showed
any signs of distress and that was
when Lawson and Drobach took him
following the first ride back OF
Moretti and Goullet. The latter team
was fresh when they went out ana
they carried Egg at terrific rate
of speed, which took some OF the
steam out of him. He came back
within the next half-mile, however,
and after that his pacemakers could
not give him enough pace Even
Moretti and Goullet were urged to
go faster on their second time out.
Egg calling continually for more
pace. -,
The race was finished in semi dark

haze of night. They rode at WONDER
