Cycle Racing ITSELF.
The cycle game is now an old part
Of the sporting game. The discovery
of the human racer came when the
makers of wheels started to compete
In seeing which of them could make
the best machins The bicycle was put
to the same end by the makers as q
running horse is used by his owners
to make money. Races were made ana
the various makers of wheels engaged
the fastest bike sprinters they could
get. At first these sprlnters were sup
posed to be amateurs, and cups ana
other perishable things were put up as
prizes. The truth of the affair is-and
this is no news-the riders didn't care
rap for the alleged silver cups; II was
the money that they were after, and 1t
was the money they got, or else they
wouldn't race. Professionalism en-
tered Into the ranks of these early
riders. and with professionalism came
betting on the results, and with
gambling came crooked riding, and
with this came disruption Disruption
ended the game all over the land. This
is the short history of the cycle sprint
ing game ungarnished of all save the
hare facts.
VIII II Revive.
Will this bicycle game come backsto
where it stood originally? That's
question. It may be if the men running
these races off are careful in their
manner of conducting them. y ou know,
and we all know, that a see-saw race
today and another next week don
look good ON the face of things. Is
there any need of going deeper? Not
a bit of 1t. Take any sport, as l nave
already said, and permit it to take on
a suspicious cloak and you have killed
the game. You may fool some of the
people some of the time. as that dear
old Abe Lincoln once said but you can
bet your bottom dollar that no one can
fool everybody all the time. There Is
somebody going to get wise, and when
he does comes an explosion, and the
sport is given a setback.
IT Is the History of Sport.
Years ago the sprinter had a good
thing to himself. Fleet-footed men
were a star attraction at one time.
The man who could turn a hundred
Yards inside of IL seconds could go to
