MS ancient paStime of old mastering
lip at the Velodrome yesterday after
noon. It was indeed a pleasure to
see the wizard of East Orange come
back and defeat three of the worlds
greatest sprinters, one after the
other, IN handy fashion, following
his defeat by ALI Goullet seven days
previous. As o come back" Kramer
is-in a class by himself, and by his
three victories yesterday he allayed
any fear that he is nearing the end
of his days as the premier cyclist of
the world. The champion defeated
Cesar Moretti Of Italy. first; then he
took on Bill Bailey, the champion of
England aud laid him low, and then
he disposed of the piece de resist

wonder.
Kramer was not at his best physi-
callN. but his mental acumen was of
such degree his three opponents
We're safely disposed of through his
superior generalship, rather than by
superior speed. The champion had
considerable speed on tap, but he
was not as fast as when he won the
grand prize of Newark, the 81 900
Criterion, and other big races this
season. The principal interest in the
race, which was a French point
match, centred in the result of the
sixth heat, in which Kramer and
Goullet met. Goullet had performed
the race feat of outmaneuyering
Kramer the Sunday previous, and
the fans were anxious to see whether
or not the Australian could repeat
the trick. Some expected that Goul-
LET would win again, but the major
iity anticipated the result which came
about when Kramer won, but few
there were who thought that Kra-
mer would make a monkey" out of
the Australian star. But that is
kioullet to ride exactly as he did in
khes second heat of the famous match

Nearly every one of the 5000 fans

1.-THE race believed that he was
beaten man. but with a mighty jump
he was UP and by Goullet, and that
was all there was to the match. Once
in front, that short distance from
home, there was not chance in the
world for the Australian, and Kra-
lner was a winner by dozen wheel
lengths. Goullet said that he was
caught mapping, and this may have
been the case, but it looked as though
he believed that as long as he was in
front he was safe, as he figured he
could not only outjump Kramer but
beat him to the jump as well. But
he did neither and he was beaten.
Moretti an Easy Victim
Moretti was easy for Kramer in he
first heat but Bailey put up n stiff
argument, and the champion was
pressed to the limit to stave off Sir
Bill when he made his bid at the start
of the final lap. At one time Bailey
was far enough in front TO squeeze
the champion and go down on the
pole and into the lead, but he is too
good a sportsman to do that and gave
the old "champer" a chance. Kramer
put every ounce of strength into the
pedals and pulled into the lead head
ing into the backstretch. 1t was all
off after that, as Bailey tired from the
hard ride on the outside. Goullet did
not have much trouble in disposing of
Moretti and Bailey. The Australian
rode each of the European riders from
the front and "hipped'' them to a
nicely These tactics had Moretti,
with his big gear, completely baffied.
Moretti and Bailey met in the fifth
heat TO decide third place and Moretti
won, after a good ride from the front.
Egg Outclassed Moran and Wiley.
Riding as he promised-from the
gun to the bell-Oscar Egg rode
Jimmy Moran and George Wiley to a
standstill in the ffteen-mile tandem
paced race. which was intensely in
teresting and a good race all the way.
Egg carried the fight to the Yankees
from the start and set such fast
pace he had Wiley and Moran beaten
in the first two miles. He did not lap
them or gain q commanding lead in
the first two miles, but he set such
q pace that the middle distance sta;s
never had a chance to get set or
warmed up to their work, and this
killed their chances. Wiley was sec
ond, two laps behind the winner, and
Moran was over five laps to the bad
when Egg completed the fifteenth
mile.
NsThe fans saw Egg at his best yes
tel lay, and his riding was reveal
ton When the Swiss defeated Fogier
two weeks ago he was far from beirs
in good condition, and he was not at
his best when he won from Moran and
Foglar a week previous. But yester-
day Egg was simply invincible, and it
is doubtful If any rider in the world
would have had chance with him.
He lost over a lap by changing
wheels when he punctured tire on
the tenth mile, but he continued his
ferocious attack when he started
again and Tapped both of his oppo-
nents once more. Moran was con-
tender until the sixth mile, when be
quit the race for a short period, sui
fering from a sick stomach. The
Chelsea rider lost four laps while he
was off the track, but he came on
again and gained" it to the finish.
Wiley began to lose ground almost
from the start and was so tired at
times that he did not follow pace in
his usual clever fashion.
wiley Tapped Early In Race.
Egg got off to a flying start and set
a. terrific pace back of Moretti and
Walker. Cameron and Thomas picked
him up and they made considerable
gain on the others. The pace was
continued by Piercey and Cory, and
by the time Egg had had each of his
pacing teams on. the track he was
leading by almost a half lap. At two
f,siIes and five laps Egg passed Wiley.

Moran held his own, but the pace
was so hot the veteran blew up on
the third lap of the fifth mile. He
was shaken off his pace and was so
dead he could hardly ride fast
enough to stay on the banking. On
the backstretch Moran deposited q
perfectly good lunch on the track and
then resumed the race. When Moran
