CONNECTION AMONG BICYCLIsTs.
Nothing lately has caused such commo-
ton in amateur athletic circles as the recent
suspension Of the famous bicyclists by the
League OF American Wheelmen. The
charges against the riders are that they have
overstepped the bounds of amateurism by
accepting more money from the clubs to
which they belong than the actual output
for travelling expenses to the various racing
meets last season.
The Amateur Athletic Union has, in
accordance with its usual custom, ratified
the action on the part of the l.. A. w. until
the charges can be cleared. The A. A. U.
officials, however, have feeling that the
l.. A. w. has in some cases acted withou
reason. Secretary James +. Sullivan of the
union said to representative of the New
York World:
this thing settled sGuarely. 1t looks TO us as
though they we've trying 10 make fling al our
athletic clubs In the East. Why were not the
Western riders suspended? They are surely as
much at fault as the Fasteners. Ibave written
to Sees etary Dayal of The league, asking what
the charges are against A. A Zimmermapu
This man Is a member of the same organization
TO which l belong-New Jersey Athletic Club. l
can personally youch for the fact that he had re-
ceived no money for expenses from the club. Sid
Bowman Is also member of the New Jerseys,
and, although he attended many of the meets
thai zimmerman did, he has not yet been sus-
pended.
EXPENSES ALWAYS PAID.

OF the New York Athletic Club do not deny
that the wheelmen of their club have had
their expenses paid to many of the meets.
II IdS Always uteu Tie custom OIL Tie New
York Athletic Club to pay such expenses of
its athletes to the principal athletic events
OF the year, and it Is upheld in this city by
the Amateur Athletic Union.
