A. Brodbeck. j. Bcrryessa, j. a, Nc
Neil and J, B. Hume. The wholesale
transfer OF amateur riders, the account
of which has heretofore been published
In these columns affected thirty riders
now riding on the Chapman syndicate
of tracks in the east, III addition to the,
six local riders.
The notice 10 Mr. Hcagren came

General Shakeup.
The notification, In part, follows:
''Tho board of control meeting was
held last night Gully ID and, in addl-
ton to sustaining you III your rulings
regarding the competition of bicycle
riders on the new motordromc i'll your
city, there was a general shakeup IN
the amateur ranks, as you will see by
TedQlUp inc lUClOScu copy OIL lnc Wlu-
utes of the board meeting
''To help the promoters out OF any
dilemma that might be caused by this
uphcaval the professional class has
been divided into two sections, a and
b, and the new pros can ride In the
class B contingent until they demon
strate their speed qualifications for
class A. Promoters desiring TO put ons
class B races can make the money
prizes less than for class A, and L
would suggest that you determine
who among your professionals Is slow
enough to go into the class B bunch.
''1t was absolutely necessary to take
action on these money chasers,' who
have been notorious for years. or they
would have killed the amateur game
by keeping all the new amateurs out
OF the business, for it is no encourage
ment for new amateur to try con
clusions with such men as Magin,
Scheller, Wright, Passenger, Hume,
Diefenbacher, Berryessa and the 9TH
ers.
Championship Joke.
"Again, the amateur championships
that have been run here were Il joke
when considered as such. We got the
evidence complete against these men,
and ] fathered the motion to throw
out all the championships that had
been run here and run them all over
again.
'T don't sec how YOU can issue any
permits TO Samuelson TO go for records
on the new motordrome without the
consent Of the Salt Lake franchise
holder Samuelson may get gay with
his tongue, but If he wants to do any
more riding on n. G., A. tracks he had
better learn TO control 1T.
'It looks to me that in case SAM
uelson and Agraz ride at the motor
drome in defiance of your orders, the
men that do the pucemaking for them
will also come under the ban, as the
pacemakers are part and parcel OF
motor paced race 1t is not motor
cycle racing assisted by motooreychssts.
So YOU had better keep track of the
fellows who pace the outlaws as well
''On motion, the board voted to raise
the suspension placed on William f.
Palmer, who was let down for fighting
on the Eailsburg track, said Palmer
having written a letter OF apology te
the n. C. A. for his action and made
a promise to refrain from such conduct
in tbe future ~
