THE l.. A. W.
The ghost of the Castleman-McAleer
contest will not dc wn. Again it rises up,
this time with some effect. for in conse.
quence of certain charges, Casey Castle
man has been suspended from the anna
teur ranks pending Investigation. L. Q.
Hall, well-known as McAleer's manager
in the race under discussion, has sent
specific charges to Robert M. Welch, pre-
ierring them against Castleman. Follow
ing is the body Of the letter:
Under clause A and clause Z, section Q,
article 3. OF the constitution of the
League of American Wheelmen, I desire
to make charges regarding the amateur
standing of one Casey Castleman of
Riverside, at present sojourning in Los
Angeles.
match twenty-five mile bicycle race in
Los Angeles on September %, 1894, with
one Tom McAAeer; that the prize was a
medal presented by fthe two cycle
dealers, agents of the wheels ridden by
the two contestants, tine gate monev and
a wager of $3.50 in money deposited by
the managers OF the rides with the ref
cree.
The racing for gate money and the
wager of $3.50 is in direct violation OF
clause A. above referred to.
In support of this charge desire to tlle
with you an affidavit of one John Kilroy
of a conversation held with Casey Cas-
tleman. In this conversation lie ac-
Knowledges that the race was purely
professional one, that it was a fact that
the manager had deposited the money.
and that in event he should win the race
his manager would receive the money to
buy bicycle for him was a subtsrfuge to
overcome the amateur rule.
Secondly-That during the present
season he has been riding in the March
cycle team on the Pacific coast and &C.
caslonally won a prize. These he has
sold or turned into cash, a violation of
clause G.
Inssupport of this he cannot produce
his prizes and in such cases as he won
diamonds he has taken the stones out of
the settings and in the place has imita-
lions. L. @. HALL.

II. G. +. Smith has the matter IN
charge and has already suspended Castle
