NOTES OF THE WHEEL
MATTERS OF INTEREST TIC Dew
OTEES OF THE BICYCLE.


In the endeavor to instil new inter
est in the amateur branch Of the sport
the N. c. A. has made liberal rules
which permit amateurs to travel un-
limited distances to race meets and
allows them to have their expenses
paid by their clubs and to have pad
trainers Already this broadening Of
the amateur has had the effect of ere
ating distinctive amateur class in the
east which approaches closely to the
lines OF the old Glass B amateur with
out the same advertising features. In
this division are found such speedy
and prominent young men as Kramer.
Hausman. Collett. Ruiz. Lake, Scho-
field. Wahrenberger, Bedell, Nye and
others. who viii travel the New York
state circuit and perhaps the grand
circuit almost as regularly as the pro-
fessional riders themselves, competing
in all the best amateur races and win
ming national regulations. With such
constant training and practice they
will become almost as fast as their
companions who ride for cash prizes
Competition among them and the local
amateurs who ride with them at the
various meets viii be as keen as among
the pros. and sometimes. as was the
case at Manhattan Beach. these ANA
teurs will be the star performers a.
a meet.
Racing enthusiasts throughout the
country hope for and anticipate with
pleasure a return OF the amateur club
rivalry which lent such keen interest
to cycle racing in the early eos, and
are heralding as a significant sign the
large entry lists In the amateur events
in the North Atlantic and New Eng
land states. claiming that never before
were there so many amateur racing
men.

he was allowed to win a couple Of az

Stud went into the house and brought
