Amateur King Captures Worlds
Title by Riding as Frank
/ Kramer Did.
GRENDA AND WALKER WIN
Australian Pair Proves Too
Much for Field in Tandem
Championship.

Harry Kaiser, of New York. like
Kramer, now hold the double honors
OF worlds champion and American
kchampion, and in winning the worlds
title Kaiser rode very much the same
sort of a race that Kramer did in the
professional championship. Kaiser
wanted to ride from the front, and
he saw to it that he was in front when
the time came. Donald McDougall,
the former American champion, alone
gave Kaiser a fight, Tommy Smith,
1 the third man in the final, merely
sitting on and waiting for the final
sprint to star. If little Tommy be-
lieved that he could come from third
position and beat Kaiser and Nc
Dougall he made the mistake of his
life, for both of his opponents were
far better than he yesterday.
Kaiser rode a mastery race, and
there is not any doubt about his SUI
periority over McDougall. He was
simply too strong for Donald, and
had the latter had Kramer's head on
his shoulders yesterday it would have
been of no avail for Kaiser's superior
strength and long sprint would have
AMcDougall tried and tried hard and
he was by no means disgraced. He
fought every inch of the waWand he
tried to be in front at the bell. Had
he been in the front at the bell it is
doubtful if he would have won, for
the New Yorker appeared capable of
riding around both Smith and Nc
Dougall in the final lap.
Hurley Starts Race.
The race was started by Marcus
Hurley of New York, who held the
amateur title four years in succession
in the early days of Kramer's pro-
fessional career. The former cham
pion was accorded a great reception
by those in the grand stand who
recognized his rudy face and red
hair as he STROBE from the Judges
stand to the track to start the race
McDougall punctured on the second
lap and a restart was necessary.
There was some jockeying in the first
four laps on the second start with
McDougall and Kaiser doing all OF
the maneuvering. Both led at diner
ent times, but a lap and three-quar-
tiers from the finish Kaiser took the
lead and was never headed after that.
Coming into the final lap McDougall
round Kaiser but the latter held the
lead and the former champion was
forced to drop into second position.
At the twelfth pole McDougall came
again and came fast. He got up TO
I<aiser's elbows and the crowd shout
ed for Donald. 1t was pretty race

Around the final turn McDougall Tell
back slightly but came up on the win
ner again down the stretch; but
Kaiser, riding with mechanical preci-
sion and perfect confidence, was the
master at all times and never way
cred He won by about half
length. While Kaiser has never at
talned the popularity enjoyed by NC
Dougall his victory was we'll received
and as he did the tour of honor with
a floral wreath and the blue derby
ribbon with its glittering trimmings
of silver he was greeted with round
after round of applause.
Grenda and Walker Tandem Champions
The tandem championship OF the
xworld was won by the Australian
team of ALI Grenda and Gordon
Walker, and their triumph and the
subsequent greetings from the rams
was in marked contrast to the re-
ceptions extended to Kramer and
were. without doubt, the best team
in the race, but it was the events
which preceded their victory that in
Cured the dislike of the fans. The
teams of Walter Rutt and Jackie
CLARK, Frank Cavanagh and Fred
>Hill, Lloyd Thomas and George Cam
eron, Kramer and Goullett, and
Grenda and Walker, qualified for the
final of the big race, but punctured
tire prevented Kramer and Goullet
from starting in the final, much to
the disappointment of the fans ana
the disgust of the Yankee Australian
pair, who were confident of victory:
without an extra wheel for the
tandem, the unfortunate pair left the
track and the race was started with
the other four teams Cayanagh and
Hill took the lead with Grenda and
Walker second and Thomas and Cam
eron third. Rutt and Clark went
around to the front on the second
lap and dropped in behind Cavanagh
and Hill. Grenda and Walker then
came up and rode on the outside OF
Rutt and Clark, while Cameron and
Thomas rode just back of the Aus
tralians. Before q lap had been rid
den in these positions 1t was quite
plain that Rutt and Clark were bat
Ting against a three-team combina-
ton. Not content with having Rutt
and Clark sewed in a pocket, Grenda
and Walker were e1bowing them and
forcing them clear to the fiat, where
I they did not have a chance and were
in danger of falling if they held to
position. Grenda elbowed Rutt and
Walker kept gouglng his elbow into
Clark. Two laps and half before
the finish Rutt and Clark quit the
race, Rutt holding up his arm in pro-
test The race was stopped amid
cheers for the officials and Kisses for
the teamsters.
Transfers Barred.
Rutt and Clark explained why they
olit and Cavanagh and Hill were
taken out of the race. The latter
team protested but had little to say
IN their own behalf when Referee Ar
thur Ross informed them that he
took them out because they were in
the race simply to team and had no
intention of trying to win for them
selves. Grenda was very sore, too,
because the race was stopped. A
second start was made with the Cav
anagh-Hi team eliminated and Rutt
and Clark went off IN the lead. At
walker came up with al rush, and
after a hard fight with the Clark Rutt
team assumed the lead. Cameron
and Thomas went around with the
Australians and held the position
alongside of Rutt and Clark until the
first turn was reached on the
final lap After being pocketed to
this stage of the race Rutt and Clark
did not have time to get under way
