KRAMER VICTOR
In QUARTER-MILE
RACE ON WHEELS
Goullet Has To Be Con
tent with Second, but
Sets New Mark.

Frank L. Kramer. the East Orange
cyclist, carried the American colors to
the front in the quarter-mile national
championship race at the Newark Velo-
drome yesterday afternoon. He won
the final heat, triumphing over Alfred
Goullet, who was second; Joe Fogler,
of Brooklyn, who came in third, and
Reggie Mcnamara, who was last in the
field OF four.
Kramer's quickness in getting away
helped him greatly in his victory.
Gouilet had the advantage by being on
the pole, while Kramer was second up
the banked track. Then came McNa-
mara, while Fogler was on the outside.
AS the pistol cracked Kramer jumped
his wheel ahead, and inside of ten yards
he was far enough in the van to cut
down in front of Goullet and take the
pole.
This slowed up Goullet, and Kramer
had an open lengths lead. He stalled
some, TO save his strength, but when
Goullet closed the gap, Kramer went
out again. He stalled once more on
the first turn, but rode at full speed
from the middle of the backstretch, and
never raised his head until he reached
the tape.
Goullet, though beaten in the final,
is still the leader in the championship
point table. His total is 10, while
Kramer has II. Grenda comes next,
with 9, while Spears is fourth, with T.
Goullet, too, had the satisfaction
yesterday of breaking a record held
by Kramer for thirteen years. This he
did by covering the quarter-mile from
scratch in the semi-hnal in % seconds
fiat The old mark was 2S l-5 seconds,
made by Kramer at Newark on May .,
