Jackie Clark Beaten by Marcel
Dupuy In Brassard Cup at
Newark VelodrOme.

Frank Kramer, whose supremacy on
the cycle track runs back almost be-
yond the memory Of the present gen
GRAFTON Of fans, appeared a. his best
in repelling foreign invaders yester-
day 1T the Newark Velodrome. He
met Bob Spears. the young Australian
who jumped into fame a week ago by
defeating Alfred Goulet, and proved 20
Spears that he still had much 20 learn
in the way Of match competition.
Kramer's victory was in two straight
heats Of two-thrds Of a mile, and he
didn't appear 70 turn a hair in do
ing IT,
Kramer's superior track generslship
was as apparent as his speed He
toyed with Spears getting advantage
Of each move as he made IL. and by the
same token putting Spears 20 dis
advantage.
He did not take any chance OF max
ing his battle from behind for home
stretch finish. In each neat he went
ahead two laps from home. Spears
made the mistake OF riding low on the
track and letting Kramer get his jump
first Each time Kramer went by when
he Jumped. In tire hrst heat after
Kramer went ahead Spears came back
strongly and finished az Kramer's side
less than six inches from the tape. IN
the second heat. though Spears had
been so completely mystided by Kra-
mer's various moves that he finished
a length behind at the tape, with his
fighting spirit crushed.
Jackie Clark met Marcel Dupuy, the
Frenchman. who Is rated only in the
second flight OF riders, and was beaten
by three lengths in one mile. The race
was the weekly Brassard match. and
Clark, while leading, started his sprint
a lap and half from home. The dis
lance was too far for him, and he weak
ened when Dupuy, who rides a machine
geared 10 112. brushed by him in tho
middle of the last lap.
Spears made up for his defeat in the
match by winning the final heat Of the
one mile professional open by a dash
of speed in the last half lap. Reggie
MacNamara and Alfred Grenda, another
Australian and a Tasmanian. were his
opponents. NacNamara set the pace,
with Grenda second and Spears trailing
all the way 70 the last turn. Then
Spears rode around the others three
high in the homestretch and won by a
foot. Grenda pushed ahead OF Mac
Namara into second place a yard from
the tape.
Oscar Egg, the Swiss cyclist. and
Reggie MacNamara met IN an unlim-
tied pursuit match. starting from the
opposite sides Of the track. Egg won.
overhauling MacNamara in ga miles.
