Glass A and B Matter Easily
Settled for Bioycle-Riders.
Corbett and His Coming Fight with
Peter jackson.

The question as to what class OF bicy-
| Gle rders-A or B-would ride at ath-
| letic club games. has been settled, and
settled in the simplest possible manner
by Chairman Raymond. OF the L. A. W.
Racing Board, and Secretary Sullivan, Of
| the A. A. u. The former wrote to Mr.
sullivan saying that clubs giving bicy-
Gle races at their athletic games could
take their choice az to whether the
events would be open to Glass A or Il
men. The A. A. U. man then applied for
a 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.
The wisdom OF this choice Is apparent
II there are any pure amateurs at all
they are to be found in Class A and 1t
is hardly likely under the new order Of
things that the prizes which the A. A.
U. permits to be given would tempt
Glass p riders to enter. There will be
some curiosity to see who the Class 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 n. j.. A. C. win proba-
bly, be followed by other athletic clubs
giving games.
