The Bay City Wheelmen's meet at Cen
q rat iAr 1.Jo
full, financially, and the club netted tidy
sum for Its treasury. The prizes have all
been distributed and the meet was very
satisfactory in every particular.
The Summer Cub is the latest addition
to the ranks of the organized cyclers. A
party of wheel enthusiasts banded to-
gether last Monday evening at IL Van Ness
avenue. Short runs into the country will
be feature OF the club. The following
officers were chosen: o. 7. Green. presi-
dent; J. Basch, secretary and treasurer:
Joseph Kragan, captain; 6. Hensley, first
lieutenant; Ed FLYNN, second lieutenant;
l.. G. Ratio, color-bearer.
The members are all native sons and
very appropriately have chosen our State
insignia, the California poppy, as their
emblem. The membership is now sixteen
and is limited TO twenty-five. June 10 is
set for their initial outing. On that date
the club will journey to Santa Cruz, and
will be the guests of the Pilot Wheelmen
OF that city during the carnival week.
Several of the riders will take part in the
parade, with the expectation of carving
away some Of the honors for decorated
wheels. Others are entered in the races
and seem confident of winning laurels.
The organization will soon make applica-
ton for membership in the Associated
Cycling Clubs.
All Communications should be addressed
to AID MONTGOMERY street I Rasch sacra
tary.
The California Associated Cycling Clubs
will hold its regular bi-monthly meeting
tonight at the rooms of the Reliance CLUB
Wheelmen, San Pablo avenue and Seven
teenth street, Oakland. Five important
amendments to the bylaws, presented for
first reading at the last meeting, will be
considered.
The first is that in future all relay teams
must be composed solely of men qualify
ing under class A of the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen racing rules. This would
effectually shut out all imported class B
racing talent, making the race more of a
home affair, and would place the contest
on a much more even basis.
Another amendment, offered by G. P.
Wetmore, is that no change shall be made
in any of the rules governing the relay
race from those in operation at the time of
the first relay, except by the unanimous
consent of ali the delegates present at any
meeting, notice Of such proposed change
being first sent to each delegate at least
thirty days prior to final action on same.
Mr.. Wetmore's idea evidently is that as
the relay race is for the same trophy each
year the rules which originally governed
the contest should prevail until the result
of teams being composed of both classes.
An endeayOr will be made to amend
