Paste this under your hat. Next

putting on the biggest racing card
ever staged at the local track, Man
ager Floyd MacFarland has hit upon
the Idea of presenting a souvenir to
every girl or woman in the grand
stand or reserved seat section at
the April Is meet. The memento will
be in the form of a neatly mounted
photograph of Frank l.. Kramer, un-
adorned with any advertising inscrip-
ton. Big Steve" has thus far re-

bination in the matrimonial stakes"
but he is there will bells on in the
esteem Of the fair sex, and it's a safe
bet that many of the photos will be
given a conspicuous setting in the
boudoirs of his fair admirers The
photos show the champion in a brand
new pose astride his wheel, neatly
backed on a mounting 6x2h inches.
The distribution of these souvenirs,
combined with the long card of classy
races, including the Clark -Goullet
sprint match, the three-cornered tan
dem paced race between Mcnamara,
Egg and Grenda, and the second duel
for the Brassard between McDougan
and Dupuy, should prove a powerful
magnet for the cycling fans Sunday,

Smith kept on rushing and missing.

the Gunboat struck a very low blow
and Weinert's face showed an agon!z-

This "Phenom" Has Everything for n
Bike But a Frame.

Mory Gordon doesn't have 10 act
as trainer for Frank Kramer as
means of keeping the wolf from the
door. In fact, the Australian has a
chance to clean up young fortune
by going into a "fifty-fifty" arrange
ment with another phenom, who may
have Kramer, Goullet, Clark and all
all the other known stars backed Off
the boards if given a chance. Who's
the galoot, you say, and what's the
proposition? Well, get this:
Gordon received a letter yesterday
from an unknown rider, who has the
speed, so he says, the ambition, the
health and all but the price Of
wheel. He's willing to ride at the Vel
odrome, horn right in with the pro-
fessionals, and not only that, but
share his profits with Gordon, If
Mory only stakes him to the frame of
a wheel and acts as his trainer and
possibly manager. The future cham
pion explains that he already has two
wheels, equipped with spokes, sad
hle. tires, chain and handle bars. So,
you see, all that he needs Is frame.
Here's a section of the letter over
which Gordon has been pondering
ever since a mail carrier dumped 1t
at the Velodrome yesterday:
Deer mory: Since i thing a hole
lot about the bike game and have not
got a bike i am writing to you for
help. / want to by one of your frames

"If you doant care to back me

are many and the lure Of the bright

heavyweight championship of the

has genuine reason to be so elated,
for he gave Gunboat Smith a lesson
in boxing at the Broadway Sporting
Club, Of Brooklyn, last night that
made all the fans wake up, rub their
eyes and take particular notice.
Weinert outboxed Smith at every
turn and he bested him in nine of the
ten rounds. He made the Gunboat
look like a novice time and time
again, and he boxed so cleverly him
self that he created the most favorable
impression In his ring career. Smiths
efforts to hit Weinert were grotesque.
The Gunboat lunged. forward with
his terrific right" at least fifty times
and not once did he land a blow. He
would either miss by a mile, due to
Weinert's clever footwork, or else
Charley would block his blows just
like picking sticks. Smiths attempts
to lead were so futile that the Gun

Weinert has improved a whole lot
in several ways and he went into
the battle last night without regard
for Smiths fame and with absolute
confidence in his own ability. He

he expected to weigh about 1873

tipped the beam at only 177A. He
looked big and strong and he fought
at top speed all the way He wasn't
afraid of Smith and his wild swings
and he bore evidence Of supreme
confidence throughout the ten rounds
Of milling. Weinert got Smiths
goat before the battle and he kept
the Gunboat's nanny until the bout
was over. When he entered the
ring Weinert was given an ovation.
He was delighted with his reception
and he clasped his own hands and
shook them warmly in acknowledge
ment OF the applause. Then he
walked over to where Smith was
standing and grabbed the Gunboat's
hands, fresh-lilSe, and examined the
bandages. Smith appeared amazed
at Weinert's antics and a. sickly
grin played over his face. At the
