F rank Kramer Gets
Offer to Ride in
Six-Day Bike Race

Jimmy Johnston, who will manage
the international six day bike race
in Madison Square Garden the week
of December IL, has made Frank
Kramer fattering offer to en-
ter the grind next month. The
famous rider, who made a wonderful
Comeback" this year and won his
seventeenth world title, has promised
to give his answer in a few days.
Kramer, few days ago had an X-ray
picture taken of his knees. He had
trouble with his legs last year dur
ing the race and was forced to drop
out when it looked as if he would
win. That is why Kramer is holding
off with his answer. 1t is his ambition
to win sixday race before he retires,
but he will not enter another grind
unless he is in perfect condition.
The race is attracting a better entry
than any that ever started in this an
nual cycling classic. 1t will have a
real international flavor, as many noted
riders of Europe are now on their way
here.
Oscar Egg and Marcel Dupey are due
to arrive within q week. With them
are Henri Gerwig, a French rider, and
Antonio Bolloni, the best distance
cyclist of Italy. Dupey cabled before
sailing that three other foreigners also
are in the party.
In letter received recently both Egg
and Dupey said that the riders who
are coming are in better condition than
ever before. All Of them have seen war
service and some wear decorations for
bravery in action.
