day evening. They will have an opening
in the shape of ''smoker" before long.
Tomorrow the club will enjoy run to the
beach and Presidio. Several of the mem
bers discovered on crossing the bridge at
San Leandro last Sunday, after the Asso-
ciated Clubs run, that some miscreant
had strewn the bridge with tacks. These
useful little articles make sad havoc with
pneumatic tires, and probably some small
boys thought they could stop the entire
run OF the association as completely by
doing this as if they had erected brick
wall instead. AS it happened, though,
Captains Dodge and Burke, who led the
run, had been informed of the presence of
the tacks on the bridge before leaving Oak
land, SO the run was led to one side, over
the electric road tracks. This trick of
strewing tacks over thoroughfares con-
stantly traversed by wheelmen is getting
quite prevalent in some localities, and as a
pastlme serves as variety to the small
boy who was wont to place cartridges upon
car tracks heretofore. A few sharp repri-
mands would have desirable effect, but
the trouble is the cyclists can never catch
the little scamps at it. AS prevention is
better than cure, guess we all have to get
tires that are lmperviOus TO tacks, II some
genius will invent them.
The racing board has issued its bulletin

Riders are warned that the L. A. W., through
Its racing board, has sole jurisdiction over all

among those. uninformed that the board en-
forces its rules only against members of the
league. All riders in the United States are
classified as amateurs Of class or or as pro-
fessionals In accordance with the leagues
definitions of such classes, and SO soon as q
rlder enters competitive event he becomes
subject to the supervision of the racing board
Every racing event requires the sanction of
the board. Any rider competing in an IN
sanctioned event is liable to suspension from
racing for term at the pleasure of the board
In the case OF men who are informed and ap-
parently act in defiance of the sanction rule
the term OF suspension is one year.
Riders before starting in race should ascer-
tain that the promoters have a sanction for the
event. The only exception is 8 contest on the
public highways which the league will not
recognize, except 10 the extent of prohibiting
the competing therein OF the amateur classes
with professionals. No sanctions are granted
for races between females, and the presence Of
such an event on a programme is without the
authority OF the board. IL q sanction for
meeting is held and the promoters attempt to
Introduce such an event they are acting in bad
faith with the board, and riders are cautioned
to withdraw from the meeting
