Kramer Says Conspiracy to Defeat His Team Is Now
 Being PractiSed.

of four teams, the McNamara-Magin, | Grenda-Hill, Madden-Corry, and i : Lawrence -Hanley combinations. They 1 have already achieved a corner on the sprint market, and are carrying on their nefarious whirlwind dashes in . restraint of the general traffic of the , other ten teams As there is no Sher- man law in six-day riding, 1t is difti- cult to see how anything can be done about the bottling up of the sprint supply. This speed trust yesterday success fully blocked all efforts of the other riders to stick their wheels over the finish line in front in any of the sprints. The Kramer-Dupuy combi- nation, which has tried in vain to play the role of trust busters, has howled and protested against the monopoly. Dupuy In particularly chattering all the time against unlawful amalgama- ton.
 Not a rider outside of these four teams got lool1in in the sprints last night until Tom Bello, the Italian. suddenly took matters into his own hands-or his own feet-in the fourth sprint, and ripped the speed trust wide open, flashing home in front, while a crowd which again filled the Garden yelled itself blue in the face ct the downfall of monopoly.
 It was a great job which Bello did in this race. All the riders were loaf ing along high up on the outside of the wooden crater. Bello shot down to the thin black line and his feet began to spin as they never had done before.
 Jake Magin, Eddie Madden and Freddy Hill set after the Italian, and although the pack whirled around at the fastest pace yet seen in the --. race, Bello held his lead and finished first.
 Bello again broke the power Of the speed trust in the sixth sprint when, amid scenes of tumultuous cnthu- siasm, the Italian outsprintcd the field and beat the speedy Magin to the wire.
 The McNamara- -Magin pair by win ming the first two and fifth sprints last night and capturing second in the third and fourth whirls ,increas- ed their commanding lead in the point total, and the other three teams in the speed trust, Madden-Corry, Gren- da-Hill ,and Lawrence Hanley, gob. bled up all that was left. In the fifth sprint Kramer led all the way until the last two laps, when McNa- mara jumped the champion, and , when the riders rushed over the line Kramer was in sixth place.
 The feud against Kramer and Du. ,ls ,,GI f,x+,, factions, and the feeling has becomG very bitter. An old champion +-Ke Kramer finds it pretty tough to have to trail behind riders he knows h. can beat because he is the victim o1 pocket.
 The largest number of provincia delegates at the race this year camC from the Duchy of Jersey. Men lief Newark, Jersey City and Hoboken or Sunday night who will not see hom, again until next Sunday. Six-da, race widows have reported their hus bands among the missing to the DO lice, but in each case they hay brought words of cheer to these un fortunate housewives by telling then that all the citizens who esnaped iron the state last week would be hom again after the last sprint on Sat urday night
 The riders were sleepy in the earl evening and the spectators were get ting the same way, when Tom Bell started a sprint which woke the pac up with start. While the cyclist were dizzily spinning around Dea Mans Curve, Al Grenda's wheel slip
 Ii. l I,o f,,Y, h 1A5 I the steep embankment. Frank Kra mer and Mike De Baetes were closet following Brenda and the three wer all rolled up In heap. The won en spectators gasped and screamed a the riders were unraveled from the broken machines and carried to tn training quarters. Again all thre escaped injury.
 McNamara and Magin did not col ral. all the points in the afternoo sprints. for they found willing oppC sition in the Grenda-Hill and tr Madden-C -Corry combinations. Grend and Corry took twenty-two poin and the other two teams got twent! 4 one each.
 The riding of Magin Is surprisir Ahe railbirds, for he is doing bett, work with McNamara than he h. ever shown in a slx-day grind b. tore. The pace that Magin has bee traveling has been terrific, and would not be surprising to see hi crack at any time. McNamar known as an iron man in this kir of work, is likely to outstamina eve rider in the race.
 Frank Kramer was the cause of brief strike among the riders ear yesterday morning. All the tean were off the track for several minute Kramer stopped riding to have a ti on his wheel changed, and while u change was being made he sat in chair at the side of the track. just lil a gentleman of leisure. Jack Nevil one of the trainers, saw Kramer ta ing a vacation, so he rushed to the si of the track and told the other ride
 to quit until Kramer resumed ridin Kramer got back on the track as so as his wheel was repaired and t others resumed riding.
