first cyclist to defeat Frank Kramer in
the iatter's championship racing days
In 1917, Arthur Spencer OF Newark won
the five cornered match race from
quartet of sprinters OF International
reputation at the New York Velodrome
last night. He flashed over the line
first In two heats and in second place
| In another The only man to beat him
was Orlando Piani of Italy. 4rhe condi-
tions of the race called for heats over
the mile route.
Besides Piani and Spencer the start
ers were Alfred Goullet of Newark.
Francesca Verri of Italy and Pierre
Seargent OF France.
In the first heat Goullet was the
leader during the real racing period and
for time no looked like the winner
He slipped into the lead two laps from
the end and set a terrific pace At one
time he had clear lead. This began
10 fade away when Spencer began a
fiashy and effective sprint and brought
his wheel to the front right at the line.
In the second heat racing luck was all
against Spencer. He was blocked and
twice pocketed when he attempted to
wrest the lead from Piani Despite
these handicaps he finished a bang
second to Piani. With no interference
from any source and q clear course open
to him. Spencer clearly demonstrated
his superiority over the others in the
third, and what proved to be the final.
He passed Seargent, the leader, entering
the final lap. and won by the length Of
his bicycle.
