TRAVELS THE WORLD. | Oftering All Comers a Chance at His | Title. The recent succession of defeats] Frank Kramer in bicycle races jover the sprinting distances by {young Arthur Spencer of Toronto! have all but taken the championsiip | crown of a sporstman whose record is is decidedly unique. While Kra-| mer's speed on the bicycle has at- tracted the attention of the followers of that sport for twenty years, it was not until 1900 that he made it ap- parent that he w without a peer on {the wheel in unpaced races at any distance from a quarter of a mile to| a mile. For sixteen years he has continued to hold the title of champion and has | never hesitated to defend it. He in-} vaded Australia and Europe, not =o | much to defend his title, as to chal-| lenge all and any to take it from him. He has always displayed a cheerful | readiness to rish his honors like a true sportsman, instead of using his | fme as a means for coralling fat the- | atrical or circus engagements. and | side-stepping challenges from aspir-| ants for his honors. His has been! the true sporting spirit as distin- guished from which has dominated so many who | have held titles of various sorts and traded on them. Sixteen years is a long time to re- main an undisputed champion in any field of sport. The vetegan rider has not lost his laurels yet, but young Spencer appears certain to snatch them when, inevitably they must pass. - McGRAW IN BAD.

The reso- lution was agreed to by everyone present. It was agreed not to mention the name of John J. McGraw in the sporting columns or in despatches sent out of this city relating to the New York games. It was agreed also to support the Naw York Chapter in anything it may see fit to do regarding an in- vestigation. : It is rumored that the meeting of the Niagara Racing Association will be transferred from Fort Erie to To- ronto.

Oscar Battling Matthew Nelson, former lightweight champion of the world, was born at Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1882. Nelson entered the ring at 17, and was the victor in nearly all of his early battles, suf- fering but two defeats Im his first four years in the ring. Joe Head- mark and Eddie Santry were the victors on these melancholy occa- sions. In 1904 Nelson began to take on the top-notchers, and defeated Ed- die Hanlon, Aurelio Herrera and Young Corbett, but lost to Jimmy Britt. In 1905 he knocked out Britt, and the following year lost to Joe Gans on a foul in four rounds. In 1908 the Dane achieved the champion goal by putting Gans to sleep and repeated in a return match. He lost the title to Wolgast in 1910, and since then he has been whipped by a number of second and third raters. He earned about $350,000 during his ring career. Ruth Gets His Medicine.
