Bicycle Bulletin
New York, March 19.-Chairman Cid
cons weekly bulletin, just issued, contains
. number of important rulings. E. G. Bald
Of Buffalo JIG suspended from all tracks
pending investigation on the charges
shat he sold prizes. Chairman Gideon says
active steps will be taken to prevent anna
tour riders from violating the rules in their
class. He insists that Southern and North
ern California must be regarded as two
distinct states by the L. A. w. and the
racing board, and an amateur resident of
either division cannot compete outside the
boundary of his division at distance of
over 100 miles from his home. He claims
that the greatest abuses of the leagues
rules and the boards confidence are COM
mitted by these men, who obtain their eX-
penses and other concessions, and yet
seek to remain amateurs.
such men do great injury to those who
ere yet amateurs perforce and who are
struggling to develop themselves with their
own resources. Amateurism, he says, is
the nursery of racing, and when one SO de-
velops as the command the assistance of
the trade he belongs to professionalism,
and there he will be transferred by the
board under the general provisions which
authorizes 1t to act.
Sanction granted: July 4, Prince Wells,

Winzet, j. F. Staver, Portland; w. w. H.
Patton and Burton S. Parker. Los Angeles,
