sion question just It present, but de
termination 10 written on bicycle face
and when the proper time arrives there
is going to be a move that will wax
fup the eastern L. A.W. concern as i
never was awakened before.
| There is not much doing towards the
bicycle races on the last Sunday in this
month and the people would hardly
| know that . race was on top for thai
date. The track management had bet
ter get . move on and stir up some
interest on the matter:
Road racing promises to be more
popular this season than ever before in
ranted by tho preparasions being made
In the east for more and bigger races
than were ever planned before. Two
new handicaps of twenty-fve miles each
in addition to the famous 1rvington-
Millburn will make q trio Of big events
hard to match. These will take place
within radius of thirty miles of great
There will be numerous other import
ant road contests in that vicinity, the
entire schedule overshadowing any
proposed in other sections of the coun-
try.
Road racing in El Paso would be
popular, but the only rosd over which
a race could be run is SO rough that q
rider going at . full rate of speed would
only hit the earth in high places and
As high places occur about every three
iron constitution to stand the trip,-not
taking the wheel into consideration.
Some good advice on how to clean a
chain is - follows: Procure Q can
about an inch wider than the diameter
of the chain when coiled up. Get
piece of galvanized wire cloth, with
{ or inch mesh, and have it cut into
circular form about one inoh wider
than the diameters of the can. Make
q number of cuts half an inch deep
down, making 9 continuous shoulder,
and set it in the can, thus making a
raised false bottom. Coil up the chain
on it and pour in benzine till 1t il
covered to the depth of half an inch.
In joouple Of minutes, agitate the
chain by pushing it from side to side of
the can. Then let it stand quietly for
and grease have settled to the bottom
when you can lift your chain perfectly
clean OF the clear benzine above the
wire. Pinch tho edge of the can to
tUrm q spout, so you may, if economi-
,ally minded, pour off the clear BEN |
line to be used again;

With the affairs of the league for years.
Racing has always attracted Mr.. Mott
nd next to Mr.. Gideon, the retiring
hartman, he 10 probably one of the
,est informed men on the details of the
port in this country. Baltimore is
DOTS home and that city Is regarded
g q very good location for one holding
he important position to which Presi-
emit Potter has seen ft to appoint
i'm.
Frank p. Prial, the well-known cy-
ling critic Of New York, says there is
very Indication that the coming sea-
on will see still greater increase in
be number of women riders. Women
rho began riding last season are as en-
husiastic to begin to ride again as

A bicycle dealer may be . very good
