Track Riders to Suggest REFORM. to the or

Track Riders TO Suggest Reform. 70 the or
nctrls OF the L.. 4. w,
The leading racing men, suffering from what
they deem the disadvantages OF some OF tho OK
istInR rules OF the l.. A. W, have hit upon tho
idea of recommending some reforms to the Of
fcinls of the League which they feel, IL adopted,
will be directly beneficial TO the promotion OF
cycle racing. AT n recent meeting the following
resolutions were adopted:
1. That race meet promoters shall not pick out
pacenakers for heats who shall be eligible to qualify
for n nnal. should a p%acomnker 10 put in he shall
be paid for such pacing. and shall pull out at the
roe-quarterm pole, and does not qualify for mis-
heat. Those who win positions at tho finish only
shall qualify for ANAL.
2. In case no pacemaker IA put in. all heats should
be run. each contestant to show up In tho lead and
SGT pace. ANY contestant who goes to the front slow.
ing down the others should Ge disqualified. Tho nrst
nifty feet from start not to count as pacing. No time
limit on heats. All changes to bo made before tho
thrcc.quarter. mile polo Is reached.
3. In placing men in heats q number shall he put
into u box for each contestant added, aud these mum
bers shall be drawn. from nve TO seven In each heat.
and tho men shall start In heats according to their
positions as drawn In heats,
4. It is suggested that from four to seven men start
In heats, according To size Of track, one man to
qualify in each heat, and second man In fastest heat
for nnal heat.
A general reconstruction OF the rules is OK
pcctcd for 1898, and riders are convinced that
alterations in the existing rules can better be
made by acting upon the suggestions of riders
than solely upon the views OF tho race meet
officials. 1t is conceded that tho resolutions Of
the racing men will receive strong considera-
tion by the l.. A. w.
