| men were on their feet at the end of
| the ten rounds a draw decision would
be rendered by the referee. Why ?
If the Baltimore News really wants
to get at the bottom of the Kline
CLANCY fiasco, all 1t will have to do is
to find out why Klines money was
held by an outsider, why the big
gloves were used and why the no.
decision agreement was entered into.
OF course, if this information is
not desired, all we'll and good, but
Kline should not be panned when he
did his level best under the circum-
stances.
Taking the part of Cesar Morettl,
the Italian cyciist;
]. P. NJ:
Why all this abusive talk against
Moretti? Since he came to this
country he has stirred up more talk
than any other six riders on the
track You get requests to ship Mo-
retti back to Italy and the only red
son is that he doesn't ride well
enough to suit the fans here.
Moretti has been riding in Europe
most of his life and he has become
so adapted to the fiat tracks that it
is almost impossible for him to ride
the banks at the Velodrome. Moretti
has beaten Grenda. Fogler and Cava-
nagh at Brighton, which is similr to
the European tracks Doesn't that
speak well for him? Sunday / wns
the most surprised individual in the
grandstand when l heard the I'M
gentlemanly and unsportsmanlike e.
marks when Moretti tried to protect
himself from Fogler in the Omnium
heat. Moretti is here in a strange
land, so treat him we'll The foreign

agement of Jimmy Johnston. Boon
ton has made a very wise move and
he has a golden opportunity to make
a name for himself. Johnston thinks
much of the Kid, but he won't rush
him along just yet, He realizes that
things come to those who wait. Boon
ton ought to be congratulated on his
wise move, and you ought to be
thanked for putting him next to a
good thing. Sincerely yours,
SPORTIUS.
Moretti is not doing badly at all
and he is not being treated badly.
His fall Sunday was of his own MAX
ing. F'ogler did not knock him down.
He fell down because when he
punched Fogler. he lost control Of
his wheel. Moretti is getting every
consideration and you are the unfair
critic. As to the treatment of our
riders in Europe as compared to our
treatment of the European riders,
why there isn't any comparison. In
Europe the Americans are made to
toe the mark to the letter and they
are fined at the least provocation.
Moretti didn't team with Fogler, be-
cause Joe's price was too high, He
was given first chance on Foglers
services, which is some favor. Cav
anagh finally fell for Fogler's offer.
Yet If Fogler was ION his own" he
might have won at that. Boonton, il

likely to make good with Johnston,
who is real manager, and will put
him to the front if the Kid has the
goods.
Coming to the defense of Moretti:

j. P. NJ:
Kindly permit me to say few
words to Fans of Yank's Cafe" 1
want you to know that Signor Cesar
Morett will not be shipped back, but
will remain here and make good,
whether y5u like it or not. If his
stay Is a lump on your stomach you
will surely die of indigestion. Other
Italian cyclists are coming in the near
future and there are many Italian
fans that will sustain them. This
want you to understand, Messieurs of
the Cafe. With best regards to you,
J. p. NJ, believe me, sincerely yours,

A strong admirer of Walter Rutt
airs his views on cycling:
]. P. NJ:
Can you tell me how it is that
Kramer can do almost as he pleases
in races and why he is teaming all
season with Goullet? Mcfarland, of
course, Is satisfied that they should
do so. As Goullet's manager, Mac"
knows it is a strong team, and the
two are sure to beat one good man,
and that one good man is Rutt, whom
l and a good many others think is
the greatest all-round cyclist in the
world. To beat him ii takes Ross,
Kramer and Goullet and MacFar-
land to give his able advice how to
do it. In my opinion if every rider
would ride on his merits, Rutt would
be leading in points at the end of
the season. Hoping to see this in
print, yours truly, d. G.
My, but Kramer is a lucky fellow
with all that help. Surely we are
wise now how he has been able to
hold the championship so long, how
he is able to make eighths in II 3-5
seconds and few other things on
the bike track.

Here's fan who breaks into rhyme
over his favorite cyclist.
Montclair, July 2S.
To our Yankee Champion Frank L.
Kramer:
There is a Yankee champion fair,
who can ride bicycle anywhere, and
lick any rider fair and square OF
this kind of rider there are but few,
hurrah for our Yankee doodle doc
AS everybody knows what he can do,
as he leads the way home on Mum
avenue, he does not foul, because
fowl is dear; SO here's to our Yankee
champion fair. May Ger his head the
laurels forever wear, who can beat
the worlds champions Of anywhere.
