native tongue, and went to his quar-
ters feeling somewhat relieved.
C
The race, in point of genuine inter-
est, was the biggest of the year. The
crowd for July day was a whopper.
and many who would have liked to
have seen the race were disappointed
because they couldn't get seats in the
grandstand Kramer looked upon
the race as the most important of the
year so far to him. and he was
tickled that he should be so fit when
the test came. He was well trained.
and. as is usually the case when a
man is well trained, Kramer felt a
little mean and he looked a little
mean when he came out for the race.
His eyes were sleepy, his brow was
knit and his stern jaw was set. He
didn't give the grandstand even a
peek, and he seemed to be in a hurry
looked as if he was out for trouble
and as if he would like to say to his
OPPONENTS:
Come on. now, you fellowsi What
,, have you got? Show me something
and I'll beat you to it"
That was the Kramer of yesterday

But Kramer's work was not over
with the winning of the Criterion
final. He had another task ahead of
him. According to arrangement, the
Criterion winner was to meet the
winner of the Omnium. little sister
of the big stake. That winner hap
pened to be Frank Cavanagh. and. of
course, Kramer polished off the
"Cave Man" in two straight heats.

retti, who, with Joe Fogler, opposed
Cavanagh in this event, was being
abused. The fact is, Moretti was
responsible for his own plight-foI
his own fall, in which he badly
scraped his right hand. Moretti ha.
only himself to blame. He tried t,
come through on the inside on tn
back stretch, but there wasn't room
for him, and besides Cavanagh
who was leading, and Fogler, VIII
was second, wouldn't let him. Blu
Moretti persevered and on the ia
turn he pushed Fogler and in doinj
so he lost his balance and fell. Thos
who didn't see just how 1t happene
blamed Fogler, but Poor Old Joe, TO
once at least. was not at fault. L
the rerunning of the race, Morett
came within an ace of winning, bu
he was up against pretty strong odds
it would seem. After Cesar got 1
front, Fogler raced him as long a
he could and as hard as he could an
then he turned out to allow Cava
nagh to come on and race him fror
the twelfth pole home. This Cava
nagh did and Moretti cracked" an
; was beaten a few lengths from tn
finish. II was clever team work, bu
it was team work just the same.

It was hard lines for Joe F1nnera
that he couldn't win his game for tn
Brooklyn Feds against Chicago o
Saturday, for his friends were out j
large numbers to tender him their re
spects. F'inneran pitched the secon
game of double header and we
beaten to 0. Finneran, though, wa
honored and made to feel happy whe
he was presented a gold watch an
chain by fans from the Oranges
where Finneran made his start as
twirler.
The celebration in honor of Eddi
! Pierson at the East Orange Oval o
Saturday was big success in ever
, way. More than $1,000 was sui
Z scribcd, and the baseball game, !
which the Roseville A. A. defeated tn

hard, and they were amply repaid fc
