Kramer in Happy Mood.
Kramer was in high spirits yester-
daV. and although he would not ex-
press an opinion as to the probable
outcome of the first match, his de-
meanor showed that he was not Wor-
rying a great deal.
The stolid Rutt has been in a Sc
rious mood and he is the picture OF
gr.mness. That the worlds cham
pion is not afraid of Kramer is very
apparent, although he, Ike Kramer,
is not making any predictions on the
outcome of the battle Sunday.
The race Sunday is going to De
battle between two sterling athletes,
each of whom has triumphed over the
best in the world, except each other.
OF course Kramer has defeated Rntt
in years gone by, but at the time OF
those defeats Rutt was not the rider
he is today. They have both inn
proved as the years rolled by, and
it is safe to say that both champions
are now at their zenith.
A study of the faces of Rutt and
Kramer with their strong chins ard
massive, set jaws, tells the story OF
their past successes and gives an idea
of the intense and grim determ ma
ton which will mark their fly ST
struggle Sunday. And it is safe to
say that the vanquished one will come
, back for the second match With equal
determination.

Baseball magnates are not always
such cruel, hard hearted persons as
they are sometimes painted. For
instance: Last summer President
Charley Stein, of the Buffalo club,
promised Frank Truesdale, his crack
second saeker, that he would allow
him to go up to the majors If any
club wanted him. The Yanks maize
an offer for Truesdale right at the
beginning Of this season and Stein
made a big sacrifice in allowing
Truesdale to 90. Buffalo fans were
half sore and half glad to see Trues-
dale advance. but when they learned
the truth Stein gained several hun
bred staunch admirers and put him
self in more solidly than the Feds at
Buffalo.
The Providence club intends to
stand on its rights. The owners of
the Grays have put in a claim for
Tnfielder Hol'a and crack third sacker
for the Atlanta champions last year.
An effort was made 10 railroad Hol-
