BICYCLE RACING,

Tho L. A. w. Likely to Confine Racing to
Two Glasses, Amateurs and Profess
siOnals.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. lot is ru-
mored that the racing board of the l..
A. w. will recommend the abandon
ment Of the semi-professional form of
bicycle racing as exemplifed by the
class Il riders. The class was created
to relieve the amateur ranks from COM
petition with the men who were en-
ployed by makers of wheels, and who,
while carried on the pay rolls as sales
men, clerks, etc, were in reality doing
nothing but going around the country
racing to advertise the wheels of their
employers The recent exposure of
Titus, Cabanne and Murphy was the
elimination of the charges which had
been made against the semi-profes-
sionals This caused revulsion of
feeling against class B, in which the
public had lost confidence, and last
week the manufacturers decided by a
mail vote to aband on racing as a form
of advertising.
Chairman Gideon, when asked about
the matter to-day, stated that nothing
had been done about the matter bv the
racing board, but that body would
have some recommendations to make
at the next meeting. 1t is generally
thought in cycling circles that the
board will recommend the dropping Of
class b, and if it does the league is
likely to adopt the recommendations,
as majority of the league believe rae
ing should be confined to two classes,
amateur and professionals.
