When 1t was discovered that Case

For Il third Time
Against Champion

Frank Kramer defeated Raymond
Eaton. the national champion, and Ar
thur Spencer, the speedy Toronto rider,
in the Worlds Champion Cycling
Derby before 10000 fans at the Nolo-
drome in Newark yesterday after
noon. Kramer rode in sensational
manner, and as it was tho third race
meet in succession that Kramer has
vanquished Eaton, the crowd again let
loose with wonderful ovation for
Kramer.
Kramer rode the entire last lap and
d half from out in front. AS. he
raced into his last lap Spencer was
second and Eaton third Spencer
kicked with everything he had in him
TO get Kramer, but failed. He had
another try going down the back
stretch and raced Kramer right 10
the tape. Eaton then came with a
burst of speed on the inside and just
nlpped Spencer for second plcac, while
Kramer won first by inches.
Referee Norman Anderson made
great hit when he disqualified Eaton
for teaming in the Gve-mle open after
Eaton had won. Pete DroDach and
Tom Bello, who had given Eaton a
strong quill for two laps, were set down
for the balance of the season. Reggie
McNamara was given first place, Viii

Eddie Collins a Man Reds
Must Watch i'm Bic Series
Coming Baseball Classic
Will BE His Sixth, and
He's Just as Cute as Ever
By Ray Mccarthy

Eddie Collins, hero Of five worlds
series, again is expected to star in
the strife for the highest honors in base
ball in 1919. Collins is often spoken OF
as the lucky player, the money player,
the brains of the team, and the greatest
second haseman that ever played the
game He has certainly done enough
during his baseball career TO merit
some of the titles.
AS a member Of the great machine
Of Connie Mack he participated in four
worlds series, and in three of these
was one of the luminaries of the
games. Again in 1917 as a member of
the Chicago White Sox he cavorted
around the second bag in the annual
Fall classic and his work in this series
against the Giants was of such bril-
liant hue that Manager John McGraw
of the Giants proclaimed him the great
est second baseman ever.
Collins has been performing as or
old for the White Sox this season. The
former Columbia college boy is credited
with being largely responsible for me
teams success this season. His head
work it's said in the teams play mas
helped to obtain victories as :nuch as
his physical ability.
Collins IS the man the Reds will have
to watch is the cry of the experts and
they can't figure how he can be stopped
At least not this year. Eddie Is not

Time Record
Game in Cincinnati Played
in 55 Minutes; Sallee
Pitches Only 65 Balls

CINCINNATI, Sept. Brooklyn
defeated Cincinnati, 3 to I, in. the
final game of their serjcs to-day in
what is believed to be the fastest time
on record for nine full innings in a
major league contest. The game lasted
fftyive minutes, and Salee pitched
only sixty~nvc balls in the nine rounds,
beating Mathewsons record Of sixty
nine.
A record for speed in playing a reg
ulation ninc-inning game was made on
September 10, 1910, at Atlanta, Ga,
the Mobile and Atlanta teams Of the
contest in 80 minutes.
The next shortest game was played
in New York, October 2, 1913, between
the Giants aud Phillies. Eight and
onehalf innings were played in exactly
33 minutes.
The champions presented patched
up team to-day, with only three reg
ulars in the lineup. Brooklyn won
in tho first inning on three scratch
infeld hits, a base on balls and some
very poor work by the Red infielders.
After the first Salce was invincible
Shcrrod Smith pitched strongly and
was assisted by many blunders of the
Cincinnati base runners. In The first
nning two singles and q double in
succession failed to yield a run. The
Reds escaped shut out in the ninth,
when Luquc tripled to right and scored
IN an out at first.
