TRIPLES TRAPPED
WHILE WHEELS WHIRRED

It took Jackie Clark a long time
to do it-five years, to be exact.
-
Kramer is positive that he won the
second heat. The judges are just as
positive that he did not.
-.
It has been remarked that Kramer
cannot lose a close decision. Well,
he lost two yesterday. so 1t proves
the judges are on the square.
-.
Kramer was over-conhdent, all
though he knew that Clark had been
riding very fast in training. Prob
ably the champion thought he had
Clark's goat and he could win, no
matter how much speed The
Rocket possesses.

George Cameron was disqualified

overhauling him at every stride. One
more kick after the tape was passed
Kramer was positively in front, sc
1t looked as If the champion had suf-
fcient speed and would play the game
safer in the next heat.
G
And the third heat came and with
it the surprise of the century. Kra-
mer was beaten-beaten this time be-
yond a question of doubt--beaten by
that much" according to Joe Fog
Ter, who was on the tape, and who
showed me the distance Clark fin
ished ahead of Kramer by holding
his hands apart about four inches.
Four inches doesn't seem much, but
it is a whole lot in bike race. IT
was enough to defeat the greatest
rider this world has ever seen, and it
was enough to create scenes at the
Velodrome that put all previous
CARVINGS on up there completely in
the shade. With the race over and
Clark the winner. friends at the
trackside grabbed him off his wheel,
the bouquet of victory was thrust
in his hand and he was carried for a
brief space on the shoulders of the
enthusiasts. In the meantime, up
in the, grand stand and over in the
bleachers the spectators seemed to
have lost their wits entirely. They
cheered and clapped their hands and
stamped their feet as Clark, with the
flowers still in his possession, made
the usual tour of honor. Jackie
bowed and bowed and smiled and
smiled, and his reception was ire
mendous and general. Kramer fan,
Goullet fan-all the fans, in fact
gave him a mighty send-off. He was
proud boy and he should be proud
boy. His feat was q notable one,
and IL he can repeat 1t again on
Wednesday night the cycling world
will have to take off its hat to him.
G
That Kramer pulled q bone" in the
third heat there isn't much doubt.
He tried to repeat performance that
won for him against Walter Rutt, but
Clark, for once at least, beat Steve"
to it and outguessed him. This came
about going down the backstretch on
the last lap when Kramer, In order
to get pedal action and clear sailing,
presumed to back off Clark, who was
showing the way, about a length or
So That was Kramer's intention, but
Clark, who was on the alert, looked
around just in time to see what
Kramer was up to and at the same
time Jackie beat it for all he was
worth and opened up a gap of three
full lengths. Daylight showed be-
tween them so suddenly that it look
ed, for an instant, as if Kramer was
in trouble, but the champion. the
next instant, was kicking the pedals
for all he was worth in order to get
up with Clark. About half way
around the Mum avenue turn and
about a twenty fourth of mile from
the finish Kramer was q full length
in the rear, with Clark riding with
desperation, for victory meant victory
in earnest. Kramer evidently re-
allied the stupendous task before
him and he rode like mad. He gained
perceptibly, and he came like streak
in the last few yards, but he never
did get up, Clark winning, as Fogler
has it, by about four inches.

The fans down town would hardly
believe that Kramer had been beaten,
and some of the bad minded, when
they realized that it was so, said, 1.-THE
race must have been a fake" Those
who know Kramer and who know cy-
cling, though, know full we'll that
Kramer never lost a race in all his
wonderful career that he could have
won. The fact that the defeat of yes
terday was the first time that he had
failed in q sprint match race in this
community Is sufficient evidence of
the champions honesty. Kramer
feels keenly his defeat, but he would
feel thousand times worse if he
were to know that there We're some
people who doubted his honesty.
But Kramer doesn't require anyone
to preach his honesty. Those who
would call this wonderful fellow a
faker would probably not stand very
severe test under a strong glass. The
wolf is generally the first to cry
"Wolfi" SO, bike fans, bike fans who

The race, the way it was run, was
truly won. The way Clark is riding,
1t is doubtful if Kramer can beat him
from the twelfth pole home. That
kind Of racing is a new thing for
him. He generally used to be on his
way, whether in the front or in the
rear, at the eighth pole sometimes,
but down the back stretch invariably.
But he has learned bad manners over
in Europe, and he will find that he
will not be so successful with them
over here. On the tracks abroad the
stretches are long. and Kramer is
able to wait until the last moment
before making his jump. At the
Velodrome the big turn takes a lot Of
speed out of the riders, and the dis
lance in the home stretch is too short
to make up a length on real good
man. Kramer perhaps fully under
stands that by this time, and he will
very likely find some other way to
race Clark in the future.

He declared he had beaten Rutt from
behind and from the twelfth pole
home and he considered Rutt faster
man than Clark.
1.-THE truth is" Kramer said to me
after the race, II didn't give Clark
credit for having so much speed and
so much strength. After the first
heat it looked like a joke to me, al
though I knew before we started that
Jackie had been showing rare form
and expected him to give me a hard
battle. That's why, when the angle
came up, went to the front but
Clark never made me hit high speed
once in that heat. I did give few
kicks on the far turn, but / slowed

In. In the second heat, ! rode all
right, but l know now that 1t isn't
safe to wait so long. I should have
timed my sprint from the back
stretch and then I would have won
decisively. In the third heat 1 felt
so sure. of victory that allowed
Clark to ride his own race. never
forced him once and then a bad
break for me and a good break for
him came when he saw me dropping
off and he put on his high speed
That's what won for him and lost for
me, but l know that | was entirely
too confident and too careless. 1 have
arranged to race Clark Wednesday
night, and l know that the outcome
will be different. But give Jackie all
the credit for the victory over me.

AND RUSSIA LEADS.

Time was when abusing the car
was the favorite indoor amusement of
MANY patr,ots at nome and abroad. One
thought of Russia in much the same
frame of mind as he regarded darkest
Africa. and other unpleasant places, re-
pardIess of ToIstoy and Gorky and other
hr;,Iiant Russians. Russia seemed a
miserable nation in which bomb~throw-
inc was the national pastime, and Slber-
ia the common destination of fearless
citizens. Some of the misery was doubt
less real. and some of il was due, no
doubt. to an autocratic government, but
some of it was due to the people them
saves. and their fool habit of keying up
on vodka on all occasions, just as the
booze business is the cause OF much mis-
erv which exists throughout the rest OF
the world. People don't have to drink;
no government demands that, although
there NAV be statesmen who are enough
to drive one in that general direction.
But now comes Russia with reform
measure so far-reaching that it makes
the progressive western nations seem
slow and deliberate in comparison. Rig
off the reel, and with no previous no.
tice. Russia becomes dry" ha-
ton. Instead of spending billion
dollars year on vodka, Russia will!
spend nothing. Ma ion vice prohibition,
so long a dream of ne white ribbon brl-
gade in this country, becomes /. fact IN
Russia by a stroke of the pen. Get that
again; Russia, nation almost twice as
populous as o. own. goes from "wet'
to "dry'' without the formality OF an
election. In less autocratic govern
ment, such a sudden change would be
impo sible; there would be much flap
doodle about ruined industries, which in
reality would be the booze Industries,
which, out of regard to humanity, de.
serve ruin. AID there would be talk OF
how the farmers might suffer because
there wouldn't be the same demand for
their hops and barley as there was in the
DAYS when the busthead was the nation
al emblem. There are many fools who
believe that line of talk, and so the
change must come slowly where it is left
for the people o decide, but it is some
thing that Russia has shown that nation
wide prohibition is possible, and its re-
suits will be an improved Russia, just as
any nation would be improved by similar
process. The action of the car may
hasten a similar action in this country,
which has already gone half way in that
direction. -Atchison, Kansas, Globe.
