Over Canadian
in Bicycle Race
American Champion Defeats
Spencer at One Mile
Mcnamara Wins.

Frank L. Kramer, the American cycl.
ing champion, defeated Arthur Spencer,
the Canadian star, in two straight
heats of a one-mile match race yester-
day at the Newark Velodrome. Kra-
mer's victory was witnessed by 10000
persons.
So speedy was Kramer that ne
turned the last eighth in the first heat
in II 4-5 seconds, and ran away from
the Canadian. 1t was the first time
this season that Kramer has made bet
ter time than IL seconds for the last
eighth.
The champion had a fall in a work.
out before the meet started, and re-
ceiyed a severe cut on the right hand.
He therefore took no chances with
Spencer, and rode in front in each heat.
He did his hard sprinting from the
eighth pole, and was a length ahead
at the twelfth pole. This distance he
maintained to the tape.
Spencer tried forcing Kramer for a
lap and a half in the second heat, and
the men rode side by side from that
point to the finish. Kramer had a
half length advantage at the tape. The
time was II seconds for the last
eighth.
Spencer successfully defended his
possession Of the Brsssard in a mile
run against Eddie Madden. He won
by half length, it being mis- sixth sue
cessive victory in the Brassard.
Reggie Mcnamara, the Australian,
was in his element in the professional
"
ming the one-mile open and two-mlle
handicap. In the latter he rode from
scratch and carried the taskmasters
around in the entire field in the fast
time of 3:4S rs.
Jackie Clark showed his sprinting
ability by taking Alfred Grenda, his
teammate, to the front in two straight
heats. and defeating Marcel Dupuy and
Oscar Egg in a team match race.
