Baltimore, April 7.-Chairman Albert |
Mott OF the L. A. w. racing board has |
made an important ruling in connection |
with road racing, which virtually brings |
that class Of cyclists under the con-
troll OF the l.. A. W., which now has an
agreement with the Century Road club |
looking to the better management of the |
sport. The ruling was brought out
by road race which the Clifton wheel |
men of this city had proposed to hold
on Easter Monday. Among the entries
were six professionals, a man under su
pension for two years, and score Of
amateurs. Upon seeing the list Mr.
Mott wrote to the club, saying that the |
suspended man and the professionals
must be excluded, or else the amateurs
would incur. the penalty provided for
racing against professionals. This
same ruling, Mr.. Mott declares, will
hold good in connection with all road
races. and will have the effect OF here
after dividing such contests into pro-
fessional and amateur events.
