was a changed man, though, on Sat
urday. He was meek on the bench,
and talked 1t over a whole lot with
Captain Evers. His men, too, are
not so nervous or anxious. They are
full of ginger, but they do not lose
their heads. Stallings is surely a

me to thank the fans of Newark for
their well wishes.
Objects TO the teams 80 far en-
tered in the New York six-day race
and says:
J. p. N:
Being frequent visitor at the
Newark Velodron1e and a daily read
err of the Evening Star, and having
attended every six day race at the
Garden for the past ten years, / am
very much interested in the coming
grind. / am of an opinion that the
teams announced in Tuesdays Star
are the poorest that ever started in
a six-day race held in New York.
While I know there is not much
chance of securing any foreign stars
owing to the war, but how about our
A 80 NH f1niGcif{O in
the lineup such as Jackie Clark,
Eddie Root, Joe Fogler and Freddie
Hill? They are six-day riders of no
mean order / can only see two
teams in the race, namely, Mcnamara
and Moran and Verri and Egg. Goul-
let is a great rider, but Grenda, in my
opinion, is a poor six day rider on
small track, and having only just re-
covered from serious Illness, 1t Is
doubtful whether he will finish the
race. I hope to see a few good
American teams added to the long
grind, as the combinations outside of
the pairs I have mentioned are only
filters. WILLIAM SEEGER.
This letter sounds as If it was writ
ten by one of the left outs" All the
stars will ride. Clark is not well at
all, but he will probably ride with
Fred Hill, and Fogler and Root are
to team, according to present ar
rangements. SO you see all your ia
vorites will be in; but who, pray, is
the favorite who has been left out?

Kramer:

Star that Mr.. MacFarland will have
complete charge of the cycling or
ganization for the next three years.
I'm sure hundreds of others also feel
the same way. 1t will certainly mean
interesting racing. This seasons
racing was a credit to Mr.. MacFar-
land. Every meet was more interest
ing than the other and simply made
one get on the job early for ticket.

never be forgotten by the fans. IL
surely was master race. and the
best l have ever seen the champion
ride The fans were delighted and
he surely received a great demonstra-
ton. That race proved that Kramer
is still the cycling king, but few ever
gave a serious thought to "Goullie's"
victory over the champion. Most of
the fans regarded 1t just an accident.
That Kramer was. not himself, and
so the victory for "Goullie;" but
when Kramer won so decisively and
put up such a wonderful race the
fans were there to prove their cham
pion is still their favorite.
Kramer need not fear he is losing
his popularity. I have yet to hear
any one say anything but the best
and kindest about him. and we hope
