about Frank Kramer's faithful
trainer:
J. z. N:
Just few words of tribute to Jack
Neville, better known as Frank L..
Kramer's "Eaithful Jack"-a trainer
that is in class by himself Neville
is invaluable to the champion. Not
only does he rub strength into kra-
mer, but he is all over the track at
tending to the champions interests.
/ would suggest that you devote a
brief space of your sport Topics
TO Neville. You must give such a
man credit. Let the people who don't
know of such q man read a little
about him in your sport column Tell
them how he helps Kramer. He's one
of us and we surely would like to see
little story about him in the Eve

Right you are in good many ways.
Neville has been faithful trainer
and good friend to the champion,
but he has always been treated in
kind by Kramer. "Old Faithful
Jack" will be at the Kramer dinner
and he will not be overlooked.

Although Walter Rutt, the welt

just a few lines to say that Walter
Rutt, although q very good rider, has
a very slight chance of beating out
"Champern Frank Louis Kramer.
have seen quite a few Of these So
called good riders, but none can COM
pare with Kramer. Rutt has speed,
but his speed can only compare with
Ellegaard Hourlier, etc, but never
with that of Kramer.
| think that Kramer has a fine
chance of getting Rutt's title, and |
am sure we all hope he will.
Grenda did excellent Sunday, and l.
for one, am glad he showed so fine,
for not only did he ride good, but his
appearance was perfect
Had the pleasure of seeing Mrs.
Walter Rutt Sunday, and Mr.. Rutt
certainly has fine rooter in his wife.
Hoping you enjoyed the races, like

Yes, Kramer still has a few friends,
and we hape to meet about a thou
sand of them at the dollar dinner, to
be held In honor of the great Amer
lean champion at the Kruger Audi

In writing about the 100-kdlometer
team race, in which he and his
mer says:
1.-The race was a joke, Joe, from q
real racing standpoint. Everything
was O. X. and no laps We're gained
or lost during the entire race, but in
the final run off of twenty laps to
decide the winner, one rider after an
other would jump and no one would
go after him. In this way the win
ming teams Tapped the rest of the
field. 1t was one big combination [
saw that | was up against 1t at once
and decided that the best l could do
would be to stay with the back
bunch and beat them out in the
final sprint, which | did All the
good men were nowhere, including
Hourlier, Ellegaard, Pouchois, Per-
chicot and myself. / finished so far
back that | don't even know Just
what position | finished in. The race
surely was a joke. and while l was
beaten, l can't look upon it as a
defeat. as l had no real try at the
finish. ] sure would liked to have
come home undefeated, but / felt all
along that this was hardly possible.
"There is talk here of another
match between Carpenter and Jean
nette, to come off some time in May.
Nothing has been arranged as yet,
but everything points that way.
Jim Savage has not fought, as yet,
and from what | can learn it looks
as if he will not get any bouts at
all. as up to this writing he has not
| been matched.
Trusting that you are enjoying the
| best of health and wishing to be
remembered to all my friends, I am,
