Will make certain ooncessions.
Ihe idea in cycling seems to be run
ming to light wheels for the track. In
the Castleman McAleer race, Mac"
Will ride II pound wheel OF the Stearns
MAKE, while his opponent will ride one
q few pounds heavier. Both are heavy
men, and apparently are too weighty
Tor such light machines, but the quality
OF this eeason's turnout of that make
renders it perfectly safe for any rider.
A great race ia expected.
Otto Ziegler. the San Jose rider, went
to Salt Lake City and continued his
championship racing. He has learned
considerable about the trickery OF east
ern bicycle riders already, and will not
attempt to ride against any OF the pro-
tessionsls on the New Jersey or New
York tracks just yet. They would sure
ly lob" the inexperienced Carbon City
boy.
