TO FIND THE
CHAMPION,

Cycle champions for several years
past have been so numerous that the
public and even the experts have been
puzzled as to whom to look upon as the
right man. Eddie Bald won his title
as champion by scoring the greatest
number of points in all circuit races.
although in championship and other
important races he has frequently been
among the also rams" Chairman AL
bert Mott OF the national racing board
has a plan by which he hopes to make
the title of champion harder to earn
and also to weed out many Of the IA
kris.
His plan is to determine the national
professional champion by points earned
in national championship races by COM
pelling all those who receive national
circuit dates to place at least one cham
pionship race on their programmes
each day of the meet. subject to his ap-
proval, to be run under the regular
championship rules, with $3.50 as the
first prize.
Each entrant In the race must fill out
a regular entry blank in such contests
before he will be allowed to start This
will do away with telegraphed or ver-
bal entries. as has been the practice Of
the riders In most cases heretofore.
Heats must be arranged so that not
more than five shall start in the final.
and the point scoring will be done as
follows: Winner. points; second man.
points: third. 3 points; fourth.
Q points; fifth, / point. In the cham
pionship races to be run at the annual
national l.. A. w. meet the winners will
score so points, seconds 40 points. thirds
30 points, fourths 20 points and fiftRs
10 points.
The national circuit will begin about
Nav IA and end not later than Oct. 10,
and the points scored by the compet-
itors for championship hdnors will be
made public each week In a bulletin to
be issued by Chairman Mott.
Excessive time limits will be barred.
and men. pacing in trial heats will not
be allowed in finals. as in the regular
races. Dead heats will be run over or
decided by lot, at the discretion OF the
officiating referee. All the amateur ma
tional championships will be decided at
the annual national meet. The winners
of the intermediate distances will be
eligible for the one mile. and the winner
OF that race will be declared the ma
tional amateur champion.
While the plan Is not yet complete. II
will be by the time the circuit opens.
and by it's use there can be no doubt
at the end of the season as to who the
real champion really Is. The riders are
in favor OF the plan, as each has an
equal show for first honors, thing
heretofore impossible.
