Match Race King" by defeating BOZ
Spears, the elongated Australian, in q
match race at the Newark Velodromc
yesterday afternoon. 1t was the return
meeting between the men, Spears hav-
ing defeated Kramer two weeks ago.
Kramers generslship helped him to
victory probably more than his speed
as he was able to get the leading posi-.
ton and start the sprint at the begin
to ride around him. Kramer also sue
ceeded in "stalling" Spears through the
final circuit, so that be always had
command.
An instance OF Kramers good gen.
eralship was given in the second heat
when Spears got almost half length
ahead. Bob tarried momentarily, in
stead of squeezing" the champion, and
while he hestated Kramer regained the
lead.
Arthur Spencer, the Canadian, and
Hans Ohrt, the Frisco boy, now pro-
teur ranks last year, when Ohrt won
royal in a o-thirds-mile match. Spen-
Ger won in two straight heats, although
the first heat had TO be rerun.
Ohrt finished first in the opening
clash, but the referee said he "roughed'
IL too much. In the two succeeding
heats Spencer had matters well in

over Ohrt, the Canadian evidently hav-
ing an edge as pro.
Alfred Goullet, the Australian, the
leader of the OUTLAW" cyclists, won his
first race of the season. Riding from
