Championship for 10th
Consecutive Time.

Newark, N. j., July 16.-Frank l..
krsmcr, of East Orange. clinched the
national cycling championship for the
sixteenth consecutive time at the Nelo-
drome here this afternoon. Kramer
defeated Bob Spears in the two-mile
titular race, and now cannot be beaten
for the championship. There is one
more race at five miles to be contested,
but this will not have any bearing on
the title.
The champion rode n splendid race
leading Spears over every inch OF the
two miles. The title was at stake for
Rig Steve. and he kept his wits about
him at all times. Going into the lase
lap Spears tried to get around Kramer
on the first turn. but failed. He failed
again when he tried to pass Kramer on
the last turn. and was beaten out IN a
driving sprint down the homcstretch by
half length.
All Grenda took the measure OF Al
fred Goullet in the heat TO decide thlrd
and fourth places. Goullet, who was
the runncr-up 10 Kramer last season
is not the Goullot Of yore, and Grenda
did not have a great task IN beating
him.
In the fve-mile race. however, Goul-
let proved to be the class, the longer
distance appealing TO him more. Goui.
let rode around Mcnamara on the las'
turn and led him over the tape. Jonn
Bedell, who hung on to Mcnamara
wheel. finished third.

Australian after two miles and half a
lap had been covered Arthur Spencer
