Nome Worker: About three new

The dredging industry in this coun-

to many failures which may gen

In selecting John NJ Chapman as
the successor to Floyd A. MacFar-
land as manager of the Nelodrome,
the owners of the Eastern circuit of
tracks-Inglis NJ. Uppercut and Frank
Million picked the best man for the
position. Chapman knows the game
thoroughly. The present success of
cycling in America is largely due to
his ideas. and it was the foundation
laid by him in 1911 and the two
years following that put the sport
on q firm basis in New York.
Chapman is a good leader and man
of ideas. and although he was at the
helm in 1913. when there was much
dissension in the ranks of cyclists,
he had at that time, and still has,
the confidence of the majority of
the riders.
