A RlsErnnt violation or the Racing Laws.
The action Of the LA w Racing Board in refus-
ing to give sanctions to the Now Jersey A. @.
for race meets until the organization complies
with the League rules has excited comment
among local wheelmen. President Sullivan OF
the New Jersey Club informed THE SUN reprter
yesterday that the action OF the L. A. w. 10 due
to an unintentional disregard on the clubs part
for the racing regulations, and that the error
will be rectihed at once. 1t appears that tho
League demands that the referee OF all bicycle
races held under its auspices must forward to tho
Chairman of the board n report OF the races at
which no oficiates. such report to contain a list
Of starters and results Of finishes. This rule IL
maintained In order to enable the Racing Board
TO keep q close watch over all racing mon. The
referee Of the bicycle races at the recent New
Jersey A. G. games omitted to file such n report
to Chairman Mott. Tho result Is that the club
has been placed on the suspension list. Presf-
dent Sullivan says that he has received a com
munication from Chairman Mott In relation TO
the matter and that the necessary report will
be fixed up and forwarded in the course of q few
days. Mott says that when this Ii received the
suspension will be removed.

men as ono of tho most remarkable distance
riders In the world. In all his match races he
has shown wonderful speed, and 1t seems i'm
possible to get any pacenakers on any sort Of q
machine who can run away from him. Michael
Is q quiet, unassuming little fellow, but when
training Is earnestly fond OF hard work, and
keeps his pacemakers constantly at work. 1t is
