follow with another return" meet, and
there is prospect of the Bay City Wheel
men taking hold of one to be held at the
Velodrome.
The return of the professional cracks
from their extended northern trip Will
tend to lIven things in that class. Ziegler
did not come ba ok with the others. and is
still nursing his Seattle bruises, He may
not ride again this year. The others are
in fine shape, and will all appear at the
Sacramento meet, and the others 20
follow.
The Capital City Wheelmen of Sacra-

their meet a week from tomorrow. Russ,
Cook kenEa, Mott and Wing are among
the prominent amateurs entered, besides
Hirsch, Leitrh, Payen, Peck and other

TODAY is the last day that entries may
be mailed to Sacramento to reach there
