A movements Is on foot among the cycling
authorities Of The different countries to frame
rule to govern amateur cycle races in all
parts Of the world The matter will be con-
sidered at the next meeting OF the 1nterna-
tional Cyclists union. According to the rules
now In vogue the fastest amateur riders in
this country are barred out OF all foreign
| championship races. This is due to the class
system which prevails In the League of
American Wheelmen. No other governing
cycling organization in the world has a
similar system. The promoters of race meets
in England. 1t is said. are more than anxious
to have an international rule adopted, for
under the present order of things they cam
not make their meets successful This con-

were so closely drawn in England many

soil. notably Arthur Zimmerman and Walter

If the International Cyclists union can

| concerned Johnson. Sanger Titus, Cabanne,
| Tyler and other American flyers might be
tempted to visit England and measure their

of riders in the League of American Wheel
men has given satisfaction, and 1t Is quite
probable that IL an international rule is made
| it will be similar to the leagues scheme,
| The officials of the Canadian Wheelmen's as
ISOLATION are reported to be in favor of the
| League of American Wheelmen class system,
and will recommend its adoption at the next
meeting of the organization. England has.
| however, refused to recognize the League Of
| American Wheelmen classification idea as the
! solution of the international racing rule
problem and this has caused such a bitter
