casi aes a aa ume a ae en aed ’ anal | Kramer Makes a Remarkable Come-Back After Losing Na-| tional Cycle Title, Which He Had Heid for Sixteen Years. mies tr aD wea RANK KRAMER surely ts the! most remarkable athlete In the world, Beaten for a champion- ship he has defended successfully for years, apparently losing the “jump” that made him king of all cycle rac- ing men, admitting that he is begin- ning to feel a little less pep, Frank has made one of the most successful come-backs on record, It isn’t often that a cyclist can break a world’s record after sixteen years of steady competition, Kra- mer’s new half-mile mark of 63 sec- onds will probably stand for a while, e igge only other professional athlete I remember whose record-breaking performances compare well with Kramer’s is big Tom Carroll, the professional weight thrower, Carroll held a bout a dozen world’s records in throwing different weights. He Degan competing as a weight thro “er, professionally, when he was elgiteen years old. On his forty-Mfth birthday he competed in all the events of an especially ar- ranged programme, and succeeded in breaking every one of his own world’s records. He trained for that event for several months, He hasn't broken any records since, but is still, at sixty-three years of age, a con- sistent winner in his favorite events, and not far below his championship form. IKE GIBBONS easily out- pointed George Chip, accord- ing to news reports, in twelve rounds a couple of nights ago. Too bad Les Darcy isn't still alive and looking for some one to give him a good fight. Les didn't outpoint Chip, He knocked Chip out in nine rounds. L PALZER writ writes that he has been acting as Fred Fulton's sparring partner for several months, has lately been running eight miles on the road and boxing several rounds with Fulton every bey and is back “better than ever,’ ‘hat’s what they all say. O give Palzer his due, there was a time when he looked like @ first-class heavyweight. But the terrific beating he took from Bombardier Wells in two rounds be- fore he knocked Wells out nearly fin- ished his fighting career, After that he never showed a flash of form again, and Moran beat him up at least half as badly as Wells did. “I box from five to ten rounds with Fulton daily, and 1 claim that anyone who fights with Fred Fulton from five to ten rounds daily must be in shape, and also there with the gocts,” writes Palzer, “I am in the jee shape of my life and ready to give the best heavyweights jn the country the fight of their life. 1 can box 10 to 1 better, and it does not hurt me to get hit any place. 1 can fight fifty rounds now and not tire, I'd like to take them on two or three a Week, starting with Moran, Coffey or Mor Let Palzer forget about the lime- light boxers for a few weeks, fight a few of the other heavyweights and prove that he really can fight as he used to. After that it will be time to put him on in a bout that would draw a large gate. No reason why the fight fans should not have some assurance that the goods will be de- livered for “hetr money. J's.

By Arthur (“Bugs’’) Baer. Copyright, 1917, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) will be neat news to the new golfers of America to learn that the i governing bodies intend to abolish the divot. They have already given the stymie the bum’s rush and it won't be long before golf will be a thoroughly sanitary game for the beginner. The stymile was a terribly sour pleco of orchestration, It was almost as unpopular as @ pink card in a blue flush. No professional mourners were hired to kick up a lachrymose ballyhoo when it was toted to its masoleum, And now that the rules committee has tacked the silver handles on the divot too, golf is going. to be a pretty stylish way of spoiling an afternoon. For the benefit of the ungolfed, we will squeal that a divot is a chunk of orphan earth. It is a piece of sprained golf links dislocated from the hemisphere by a new golfer, Owing to its habit of popping through the air you might call a divot an aertal bunker, In order to accomplish a divot, just aim your club at either ocean and cut loose, You twill then discover that you have divotted. The supply of divots never runs out, although the nap on some golf links 1a worn pretty smooth. A slant into Noah Webster's dictionary shows that Noah didn't know what a divot was, so we guess the old boy didn’t have any bad habits. There wasn't much divotting in the original Noah's day either, as all the divots were submerged in the stuff that 1s now popular on the side. As the Scotch claim, “Many a divot rmukes @ doovit.'" WE REFER YOU TO THAT BEAUTIFUL POEM: ' drops of water, Lil’ divots grand, Make the mighty ocean And the pl nt land.” | | Billy Gibson has decided to let cham- pion Leonard box once more before he meets Johnny Kilbane in Philadelphia, July 25. He will send him against Frankie Burns, the rugged California Ughtweight, at the Arverne Sporting Club next Thursday night.
