The racing Giro nit on this coast seems to
have met with favor, but there are not
enough good men following it to warrant
the attention it has received. Still the
races are well contested and exciting, and
it needs only few more entries of speedy
men and somewhat better management to
make it successful. Another trick like that
played on Wilbur Edwards at Petaluma
last Sunday, as told in THE GALE, would
give ii a setback it could not recover from.
Properly handled it should help the sport
and the racing men.
