After the finish OF the teams match
g ~ the velodrome last night, in
which Champion Frank Kramer and
Frank Cavanagh defeated Walter
Rutt and Jackie Clark and ALI Goullet
and Alfred Grenda, Rutt became
almost enraged and complained
vigorously against what he termed
foul riding on the part of Kramer in
the second heat. Rutt ran up to
Frank Million as soon as he had dis
mounted and talked mile a minute
in German to the promoter. He ad-
mitted he was mad-very mad-and
he said he was going to give Kramer
a piece of his mind. After the races
were over Kramer came into the
office. and Rutt came in later to col
leet his first prize money for winning
the ffve-mile open. Knowing that
Rutt was "peeved,' Mr.. Million called
Kramer over to where Rutt was
standing, SO that the men could talk
it over" Rutt told Kramer that he
had suffered from a Switch and
Kramer told Rutt that he didn't sdo
any Switching" 1t was quiet little
discussion, and no loud or harsh
words were used.
G
During the conversation Rutt said
he could do some roughing on his
own account. and Kramer declared
that Rutt had done some roughing in
the one-mile championship and moth
ing had been said about it.
s.You cut down on both Goullet and
myself in the championship Sunday,
and 1 didn't say a word about it,
Kramer said to Rutt. DO you think
you could get five lengths on me or
Goullet if you had ridden a fair,
straight race? No, you couldn't.
There isn't a rider in the world who
can do that" Kramer declared ex-
eitedly.
rs that why you switched me to-
night" Rutt inquired.
- you are doing all the talking and
complaining" Kramer answered. 81
have nothing to say"
. That is the way the little tilt be-
tween KRAMER and Rutt ended.
e C
Rutt. il seems, did cut down Goul-
llet and Kramer in the championship
last Sunday and he apologized to
Goullet afterward for doing so. 1t
did seem strange that Rutt could get
five lengths in a jump on such riders
as Kramer and Goullet, but the
'"pinch" explains it. Neither Kramer
nor Goullet said boo about Rutt's
roughing, but Referee Ross gave Wal
ter a talking to. Kramer is not given
much to complaining anyway, and
he said last night he would be able
TO protect himself on the track in
any kind of a race. The champion
also said, and he has never lied to
me yet:
3, ~ didn't switch Rutt. AS l came
into the stretch | swung a little high,
which is only natural, and all the
boys do il. Rutt was on my wheel,
but if he suffered any I didn't know
Il. I take lot the worst of it and
saw nothing. I ride as fair as the
next one, and Rutt has done more
kicking than any man have ever rid.
den against"
Kramer had a lot of speed last
night and he was very strong. lie
won the team match in two straight
occasions. with Goullet third. Goul-
let would have won the first heat If
he had followed Grenda when the
"Tall Tasmanian" went to the front
with three laps to go. He didn't
though, so Kramer, who received a
beautiful pull" by Cavanagh, led
Rutt over the tape winner. Goullet
came with a rush at the end and
seemed to be the strongest man of
the three at the finish.
@
The second heat was a harder race
than the first heat, and again Kra-
mer, with Cavanagh placing him in
front at the proper time. led all the
way to the tape. Just before the turn
into the stretch was reached, Rutt
came out to make bid, and it was
at this point that he claimed Kramer
"switched" him. Goullet rode crazy
race in this heat. He left Grenda and
made a futile attempt to go to the
front from third position. with CaVa-
nagh giving Kramer a great pull. He
didn't get there, of course, and he was
through a twelfth of a mile from
home.
