I. A. W. Disqualifes Many Men,
beers, for Defying Its Ediot.
Another Colorado Club After the
Big Fight.

The l.. A. w, through its Racing Board,
has disqualified all Of the bicycle riders
, who competed in the unsanctioned Sew
enth Regiment games Dec. Q last. The
disqualified men are L. Ketcham, e.
Winteroth, jr., r. L.. Baker. J. J. Byrnes,
]. H. Cavell. 4. j. Barber. jr.. w. r.
Pike. W. Armstrong, s. +. Lefferts, w.
ID. Edwards and NJ. A.. Husson. The
punishment meted out to these men for
daring to defy the l.. A. w. Is suspen-
sion for one year from Dec. IL. 1t IL
highly probable that the l.. A. w. did
more worrying over this matter than
did the suspended riders.
Regimental athletes. especially those
OF the Seventh Regiment, are a good
deal like college athletes in one respect.
They would rather win one Of their own
events than all the l.. A. w. races OF the
season. Suspension is very much like
pouring water on a ducks back. None
OF the men mentioned is prominent in
the racing line, so neither side will be
the loser by the L. A. WIS action.

any great excitement over the election
