| Poor Donald McDougall, the fans
were saying as ahey came out of the
Velodrome Sunday. The great little
rider of last year and the year before
| is only shadow of his former self.
He may come around in time, but ii
is doubtful if he will be able to win
the amateur championship this year.
He doesn't seem a bit strong and he
hasn't much speed at all. He has
had all the high honors In his class
the American championship and the
worlds championship, and though
beaten by Bill Bailey he has the
honor of having raced before the
largest crowd that has ever attend
ed cycle meet in the city of. New
ark.
The fans are writing songs and
poetry about Frank j. Kramer. the
bike champion, and there promises to
be a big time at Kruegers Audito-
rum next Saturday at the celebration
and dollar dinner in his honor A
little song of welcome:
j. p. N.
WELCOME, KRAMER.
It's a day in spring, fans are happy
j. 7. N.-Frank is coming back
Soon he'll make things hum at the
Velodrome, round the dear old
track
over in Paree, he cleaned up, YOU see,
got them in a trance;
When the ship comes in we will well
come him back from France.
Chorus:-
Welcome is waiting You, Kramer, in
the city of Newark today.
The old bike track will be glad you
are back-it missed you while you
were away.
The fans missed you, too, for they all
got you on the brain,
And when you are gone the boys will
miss you from the grand old game.

FRANK L. KRAMER.
They speak of the heroes bold and
brave
Who've seen and done their duty,
Who've fought at risk, of life and
limb
To save their country's beauty.
But has a greater hero lived
Or fought his battles gamer,
Than the man who beats 'em all
today
Our good old Frank l.. Kramer?
2.
Our father saw him beat the best,
Near a score OF years ago;
And when we all have gone to rest,
He'll still be doing so.
4 greater fighter never lived,
Nor fought with gun and saber,
Than this same vet of many years,
The trusty Frank L. Kramer.
There's Fogler, Clark and Grenda,
Goullet and all the rest;
He beats 'em all, both large and
small,
When they were at their best.
His rivals come from far and near,
And some are mighty clever.
We've seen them come and seen
them go.
But Frank goes on forever
If he ever takes a notion
And hangs his wheel on high,
There'll be no one to take his place
For his deeds will never die;
He made EN- look like thirty cents,
And other feats were tanner;
n thousand years from now they'll
read
OF our good old Frank L. Kramer.
