Frank L. Kramer, the American cycle
racing champion, was the class of the
field in the national championship race
at the Newark Velodrome yesterday.
He won the final neat at half mile
from Bob Spears. one Of the Australi
ans, while in the first of the grand
semi-fnals. which come in under the
changed rules, he lowered the colors
of Alfred Goullet, another Australian,
and the present leader in the cham
pionship series.
The FIVE points Kramer got in the
final enabled him to boost his total to
so and cut down Goullet's lead TO 7
points, the latter having a total of 81.
Goullet is Kramer's greatest rival
awheel, and the race of the day was
their battle in the grand semi-hnal.
Kramer set the pace for the first lap
and then Goullet took the second. On
the third and last lap Kramer trailed
until the backstretch, when by q quick
jump he got to Goullet's side. Then
ensued the struggle for the honors,
the men keeping side by side around
the last turn. In the homestretch
Kramer forged ahead and won by half
a length.
Spears beat Grenda in the other semi
final, riding the fastest eighth of
mile of the day. his time being OIL AS.
Against Kramer, though, he was out
generalled He took the lead lap and
a half from home, but made the mis-
take of slowing down when Kramer
refused to race him at top speed. When
the men hit the backstretch and Kra-
mer made his challenge his quick jump
carried him past Spears, and then the
latter gave up the ghost. Kramer win
ming with lengths to spare.
Goullet defeated Grenda in the heat
10 decide third and fourth places in
hollow style.
Spears mad the satisfaction of low
ering the colors of Grenda twice, as he
also beat the Tasmanian in the Bras
sard the weekly one-mile match race.
II gives the winner $50 a week as long
as he holds it and he must defend
weekly.
