sullivan saying that clubs giving bicy
Gle races at their athletic games. could
take their choice as TO whether the
events would be open to Class \ or IL
men. The A. a. L. man then applied for
sanction for the bicycle events of the
New Jersey A. c. Memorial Day games,
and signifying his intention OF having
them open for Glass A men.

L. permits to be given would tempt
Glass Il riders to enter. There win he
some curiosity to see who the Glass A
men will be. There will hardly be any
stars among them. but doubtless their
contests will be none the less interesting.
The lead of the y. j. A. &. will proba-
bly, be followed by other athletic clubs
giving games.
