Victor's last battle was with Young
Gradwell.
A suggestion to Manager MacFar-
land:
]. P. NJ:
I would suggest for next season
that Mr.. MacFarland announce right
at the start, just how many cham
pionship races he Is going to run
during the season. This would be
fair to the bike fans and would in
no way favor Kramer, as has been
the case in the past. When Kramer
was behind In the championship
competition. MacFarland added m IRE
title races, but when Kramer ad-
vanced in the lead he stopped such
events. When will the season at the
Velodrome open? BIKE FAN.
MacFarland says he ran the cham
pionships up to the time he put on
the Worlds Cycling Derby and that
Kramer justified his victory in the
American championship by winning
the worlds championship. Next
season, which will open the first Sum
day In April, MacFarland says he
will run the championships just as
long as there is interest In them.

II also appeals to your other readers.
The records show that there were
thirty-fiye deaths and l03 injuries in
baseball during the past season. On
the football field there were fourteen
fatalities. Now these two sports arc
played only in certain seasons, while
boxing thrives the year round

less, in ten years there have not been
as many injured or killed through
| boxing as in baseball and football In
one season. We never hear of min

ment against baseball or football
With boxing It is different Every
