is presenting today a photograph
taken at the time of the famous foul
blow episode. 1t shows plainly that
Carpenter has one knee on the floor
and it shows also that Smith is des-
perately anxious to hit him. Unpreju-
diced accounts of the fight from
abroad say that Carpenter had the
better of the encounter mp TO the
foul-blow period and that Smith was
the lucky one, instead of Carpenter,
whose fight was the best of his career.
The picture shows that Smith must
have been hit pretty hard, for the left
side of his face is swollen and his
left eye is nearly closed. From all
accounts, those who lost on Smith
weren't very badly cheated Car
pentier would probably have won,
with everything fair. in the long run.

The national cycling champion
ships are now the most interesting
things in cycling. With Champion
Frank Kramer and All Goullet tied
for the lead there seems a lot for
the champion to worry about. He
will have 10 maintain his best form
to defeat Goullet in any kind of Il
race, if Goullet, of course, keeps up
his present good form. For time
Kramer was more than little wor-
ried over his title, but now he seems
to feel as If he would win out sure
enough He will have to keep on the
job, though, for any one of three men
is liable to beat him at any time. We
may take Goullet and Rutt and
Clark, for instance With the breaks"
against him Kramer might be beaten
in any race by one of these three
men. and if he is beaten very often
by Goullet, why. his old championship
would be in very bad way.
C
The next championship on the card
is the quarter-mile. and will be held
night at the Velodrome.
In this race the start means nearly
everything, and the one who gets
off the mark first is likely to win
at the finish. Kramer is a quick
starter, but so is Goullet. Between
these two it should be great bat
tie. Rutt is rather slow off the mark,
put Clark. who is a quick pedaler,
has a good chance to get out IN
front. Clark, by the way, has taken
an awful stump, and the herowor-
Slippers have been very quiet. HE
ode very poorly last Wednesday and
,ould not even qualify in respective
leat. On Saturday night at Brigh-
on Beach he showed a little better
'orm and on Sunday at the Velo-
1rome he didn't have much of a
,hance to display himself. In the
ive-mile he was in a poor position,
but couldn't get anywhere when it
came to racing. IT is said that Clark
is training hard and that he is try
ing to get into racing form. He has
been so badly touted and so poorly
advised that he is not the same lit
tie Jackie of old. He will discover,
when too late, no doubt that those
who are trying to make capital out
Of him will eventually lead him up
to slaughter.
Talking about championships, Kra-
mer believes he will win the quarter
mile tomorrow night. He was around
early this morning ready to train,
but the weather man stepped in. Kra-
mer came down town for little chat
ter and to deposit two checks, one. of
$500 and one of $1O0, his winnings in
the Grand Criterion.

Walter Rutt feels that he has a
good right to become "peeved' every
now and then. He says it is a burn
ing shame the way he is riding and
the few races he is winning.
"Why, If Henry Mayer was riding
as fast as I am riding and being
beaten for the big stakes" Rutt de-
clared yesterday, "he would create
a disturbance at every meeting. Here
am" Rutt went on, riding in great
form and every time a big race comes
up one or two fellows show excep-
tional speed and beat me. l had a
good chance to win the Criterion"
Rutt said, "but l was taken sick on
Saturday and suffered from ptomaine
poisoning right up to the time of the
race. Then when it came to racing
Kramer didn't give me any the best
of it in fighting for Goullet's wheel
and when Kramer was in front Goul-
let didn't make a determined bid to
go by him. There I was in third
place. full of running, and couldn't
do anything. It's hard luck, of
course" Rutt admitted, but 7 just
want my luck to change before long
and I'll show those fellows some
thing"
Floyd MacFarland, the manager of
the Velodrome, was so elated over
the big crowd of Sunday that he gave
