terday suggesting a celebration in
honor of Frank l.. Kramer on his re-
turn from his triumphal trip to
Europe, has met with ready re-
Spouse. In the mornings mail came
letters heartily approving of the plan
and over the telephone and on the
thoroughfare suggestions for a mon
ster celebration and n dollar din
ner have been made to mo. To all
I must answer that / wouldn't care
to lead in such an affair. but 7 would
be only too willing to do my share.
There are plenty of close friends and
warm admirers of Kramer who will
be only too anxious TO do him honor,
and all they want is for some one
to start something. Now that the
start has been made, gentlemen, go
to It. The celebration and the
dollar dinner are assured. 1t is up
to the fans to make it as big as they
like.
@
Champion Kramer is surely de-
serving of something big. lie has al
ways been a credit to the game and
he has kept the game sacred by his
absolute honesty. Some very influ-
entail citizens have spoken to me
about joining in the celebration of
the champion, md from even thus
early indications the affair is bound
to be a huge success. In East Or
ange. the home of Kramer, some one
should take the initiative in regard
to the celebration. In Newark big
dolngs may be expected in a day or
two. 1t has been suggested that a
small committee of, say five, be APP
pointed to make the tentative ar
rangements for the affair, and it has
also been suggested that an honorary
committee of fifty be named. The
if some of the enthusiasts are
at all right, will be attended by more
than 700 persons. A few said 1000
would be there. However, the thing
to do now is TO get on the job and do
the arranging Tor the affair There
IL more hard work than a little in
making a big celebration a success,
md those who think well of giving
he champion a warm and royal
on his arrival here on April |
p should act Immediately
