U. having control of the amateurs
the amateurs would not be a very
busy lot. They would have to race
when they did race, which would be
solomon dirt tracks and as sort of
filters in at the track and field ath-
letic meets. Having once quit the N.
c. A, of course, the N. C. A. would
not allow them to race on tracks I'M
soon tire of dirt track racing, and
very little racing at that.
@
Those who are agitating the con-
troll of amateur cyclists by the A. A.
U. are apparently not very wise as to
just what such a thing would mean.
AS far as the promoters are concerned
1t would mean a big saving for them,
for instead of amateurs the N. c. A.
would no doubt, designate a class
B rank. In this class would be all the
best boys who are riding as amateurs
at the present time and all the pros
who are not fast enough to make
good in their rank. IL creating such
a class the promoters would be able
to take care of all the professionals,
and they would put the money they
now give to the amateurs in races
for the class B pros. Then, too, there
could be a class c rank for riders
who did not care to race for money
and for which prizes could be
awarded.
But all this talk of the A. A. U.
butting in on the N. c. A. seems TO
eminate from the source of the usual
sorehead There are those who would
be tickled beyond measure to see
the N. C. A. out of business and to
see cycling in this city in the dumps.
In this, however, they are doomed to
disappointment, for the game is get
ting bigger and better than ever. As
far as the A. A. u. is concerned, Mr..
Sullivan and the other able men who
work SO hard to keep athletics in
order, have all the trouble on their
| hands they are able to take care of.
As hard fighter as is Mr.. Sullivan,
his is a peaceful life compared to that
| of Mr.. Kelsey. The runners and the
! jumpers and the shot-putters and
discus throwers may be difficult to
handle, but the real trouble comes
when cyclists are to be dealt with.
Most of the troubles with the anna
| teur athlete have to do with his
status, while with the cyclists there
4 is not only trouble over what he does
! with his prizes, but whet her he Won
| them 'as his own" on the track
| The amateur cyclist is really more
| bother than the professional, and II
the A. A. u. was ever to assume
jurisdiction over the simon-pures il
would take big load off the mind Of
the N. c. A. officials and the tracl
promoters as well.
G
The popularity of cycling as an in
door sport and as an added attraction
to athletic meets doesn't seem to have
met with the approval of some of thu
A. A. U. enthusiasts. The fact tina
the bicycle races on the fiat appeal
to interest the spectators and wiz
their applause doesn't suit the anti
cycling element at all. This was no
ticeable at the recent Tabs meet a
the local armory, when the bike race
in which there were only five entries
was enthusiastically received by tn
audience. Afterward, one of the A
A. U. boys, peeved at something, sal
he would protest the finish of the race

Rotterdam, Oct. 10.-"In view Of
tine great results achieved by the new
Herman guns a description OF the
8modern fort may be of interest" SAYS
the military critic Of the NieuWe Rot
terdamshe Courant He writes:
when it becomes necessary to for
stify a territory permanently, forts are
built at intervals of from to 6 kilo-
meters apart. These forts are combi-
.nations of earthworks and such build
sings and other structures as are need
ed. They are surrounded by deep
moats with steep sides, on the far side
8of which barbed wire entanglements
are laid. In modern forts al struc-
ftural walls are made Of concrete, this
applying 20 the turrets and barracks
salika. The number of guns in a fort
depends upon the system of defense
5of which the fort is a unit.
'Il case a fort is not supported y
FLANK works and is, therefore, a ua.t
in itself the effort is made to place
Jas many guns as possible, selecting
both large and small cadbre pieces.
Pin this manner a tort may be made
FIERY strong. Another method is not
ito place so many pieces in the fort
sitself but to depend upon the support
of artillery stationed in case of war
on neighboring points OF vantage.
The first system becomes tne cell
stral point of the defensive force which
8may operate with the fort as support.
according to the Belgian General
.Brialmont (well known military en-
sgineef) this method has the advan-
.tage of having AL pieces constantly n
readiness for action and surprises
are guarded against. But it has the
drawback of becoming easily the tar

my's heavy artillery. In case of bonn
bardment the enemy can make the

entire fort his target-Wthich usually
becames the practice. If one fails
to hit one thing. one hits another
For theoretical reasons (proven cor
rect by the lessons of this war; there
has long been held a prejudice against
this system of fertilization.
THE second method seems decided
lily better. Instead OF having a few sep

the enemy can make the objective OF
