NEW YORK, Dec. THE Melbourne
Australia, correspondent of the American,
Wheelmen cabled that paper TODAY that
the great Australian wheel race. the bI,,e
ribbon event of the year, was won Nv
Chrisp, of Tasmania, the dark horse road
rider. This is the race that Zimmeo-noa,,
had intended to ride in but at the last
moment he was scratched. 1t is given as
the reason that his demands were eyo,-hi1
tant and the committee refused to con
cede to them. His entry had been sent
in and accepted for this event blIt he
wanted bonus besides, which was re-
fused. This move, it is said has made
the American very unpopular among the
Australians. @-o
