From this distance it looks as ii
the bets ON Kramer for the worlds
championship were pretty safe and
the "Old Master" will come into his
own again next Sunday. 1t seems
funny that all the foreign countries
produce their respective champions
and these same champions ride later
on for the worlds championship, and
after they are decorated with the title
they come over here with a crazy
idea in their head that they can beat
Kramer, and Kramer Immediately
makes them look like amateurs. How
can they be the worlds champion II
they are beaten? When prize fight
er wins belt and a title 1t is only
| when he has beaten the best man in
the world for it. but bicycle rider
wins a worlds title and is unable TO
beat the best man in the world. OF
course, | understand that the world
! championships are run off in different
1 countries every year, but the man
who wins is not always the best man
| in the world and it seems to me that
| if a man is going to sport the title
of worlds champion he should be the
best man in the world. Only once has
that happened, and that was when
Kramer won his single title in 1912.

Moretti won by about six inches.
Referee Ross has no apologies to Of
fer for his decisions. He made one
Wednesday night that was peach
and will do the game a lot of good.
Bardgett is around, but you couldn't
get him to referee for a fortune. VAL
entine performs over in Brighton.
Clark, as you say, rode well, but
there seems to be something wrong
with him. The<Australians were far
the best. Cavanagh didn't set any
fast pace, and both he and Lawson
were In Kramer's way. Bailey wasn't
supposed to do the sprinting. Kaiser
seems to be d pretty nifty rider and
Smith is coming back in form again.
Kramer is the greatest rider in the
world, but he has been the worlds
champion only once.

More rumors about the Army-Navy
football game are going the rounds.
1t is now said that Philadelphia will
not get the game and it is absolutely
denied that the contest will be held
at the Yale stadium. Perhaps all
concerned are seeing the error of
their ways and ali will perhaps event
ually agree that the Polo Grounds is
the one and only place to hold the
annual struggle between the Cadets
and the Middies.
President Peter Rau, of the Bay
View Wheelmen, is In a position to
make boxing popular in this city.
His first move should be to show the
lovers of the sport that he means to
conduct his shows on high-class and
honest lines. He can do this by Sc
curing high class and honest officials.
The first show of the Bay Views to
be held at the clubs headquarters ON
South Sixth street will go a long
way toward the future success of
boxing under the auspices of the
Wheelmen. President Rau will soon
find out who are the friends of box
ing and who are the enemies of the
sport. He wouli do we'll though. to
| take the bull by the horns before
any damage Is done. The Bay View
| Wheelmen must have among its
large membership men competent to
manage their boxing shows. Out

age and tie organization suffers in
the long run.
O.
Jim Savage's fight with Porky
Flynn ut Far Rockaway tonight is
| nportafit-important to Savage. The
outcome will mean everything to
| Jim. If he makes a good showing
and wins he will be In line for more
pretentious bouts. If he fails to
make good. he might Just as we'll
ease himself out of the pugilistic
arena. Flynn. as a fighter, Is just So
so. He is not particularly clever, but
there are hundreds of heavyweights
he can beat to a certainty. He has
fought come good battles and he has
beaten some fast men. He has also
been walloped himself on several &C.
casions. AS an opponent for Saw
age, the match is considered a good
one. The men have met before and
the bout was a hard one. Savage
says he beat Flynn and Flynn says
