Speaking of dances. the old captain of the boat on which the night trip was taken, has his own ideas of propriety and impropriety in dancing, and the rule of his boat is that nothing is permitted except the waltz. two-step and fish walk whatever that is. He had one of his men in the middle of the floor to see that the rule was carried out to the letter.

While Kramer is in a class by him
self, there is one young man with a
big pair of legs riding up at the Vel
odrome who might be sharing some
of the honors with the champion if
he would only attend strictly to his
business and persevere in his races.
And this young man and big man is
none other than Frank Cavanagh,
once upon time styled the Irish
champion a title he failed to up
hold. 1t has been observed on &C.
casions without number that Cava-
nagh possessed rare speed and you
could also see without making any
| especial effort that this same noble
duke" was very much lacking in
judgment He could race like the wind
at times and he would race like the
wind at times, but more often he
would race like the veriest tyro. 1t
has been said of Cavanagh that he
had a ten-cent head and a ten thou
sand dollar pair of legs and that his
heart wasn't in the right spot, but
after the way he performed in the
international team match and in the
two-mile scratch race, which brought
| the opening night meet to close, we
will have to back up on the ten-cent
head and the faint heart and stamp
this big fellow as the most likely
proposition in sight.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-05-21

For the sake of our American
pride in the matter. we would like
to see Cavanagh come forth as
champion. He is the only one we
have who appears at all capable of
filing Kramer's shoes We want
Kramer as long as we can have
Kramer, but when Kramer goes we
would like to see a native born At
into his shoes. We can hardly hope
that Cavanagh. even as champion,
will be another Kramer" but we
feel that he has the goods to sue
coed the King if he viii only observe
the rules which lead to athletic sue
cess. Cavanagh showed in his races
last night that he has no odds to
ask from anyone outside of Kramer,
but he just won't become serious
enough with himself and punish him

The Americans outwitted the Aus
tralians in the team match and be-
sides that when it came down to rae
ing Kramer. in his heats, had the
speed. But he had a lot of help and
there was a lot of brain matter
exercised in securing the victory
Fogler. for instance, engineered a
coup, in which THE Battler' and
Frank Cavanagh completely annihi-
lated Bob Spears and Ernie Pye. Joe,
when an angle came up through
Pyes jump, just "sicked" Cavanagh
after Ernie while he stalled Spears
so thoroughly that the elongated
antipodean might just as well have
been off the track entirely. AS Cav
anagh said, "Pye was pie for me"
and Frank won the heat without a
contest. And Hill, too, was there
with rare judgment and he made 1t
possible by clever work to place
Kramer in front at the proper time.
That was all that was necessary, yet
I really believe that Kramer could
have come from nowhere last night
and beaten the next best rider in the
world.

Frank Kramer could have taken a
whole lot the worst of it and beaten
any man in the world with ease last
night. If such a thing could be, Kra-
mer is more king now than ever. He
displayed so much speed in the four
man international team race that he
made the best men at the Velodrome
track look willy-nilly, and he made
the foxy old Joe Fogler, one of his
team mates, gasp with astonish-
ment. Kramer rode as Kramer has
seldom ridden before He went out
in front in the heat in which he and
Fred Hill were opposed by ALI Goul-
let and Alfred Grenda, and he
whipped both of these sterling riders
one after the other as they tackled
him throughout the last lap of the
race. And then, at the end, "Old
steve" came down the stretch flying
light, as the saying goes, with no one
near him to give him even close
fight Kramer is still Kramer, and
he hasn't lost any of his friends or
his admirers, if the show of enthu-
siasm last night is any indication of
the feeling of the fans toward their
champion.
