Truce Talks Loom For National Bicycle Meet In City
L A W and the National Cycling Association edge toward a truce for the national meet to be held here unless either side backs down. The Boston 99 Meet Club likens the event to a sandwich with the ham left out. Henry E. Ducker of Charles River Park is said to favor the alliance. Elliott, the Chief Consul, doubts racing will draw crowds without concessions to the N C A. Foreign riders may skip Montreal next August without steady U S racing. Bourillon, France, allegedly uses cocaine pastilles and other speed aids before races, a claim met with cautious predictions. Stimulants beyond sugar are unknown here. A twelve hour smoker will run 7 p m to 7 a m in Mechanics Hall if available, with a continuous vaudeville program. Arthur Gardiner of Chicago is the first professional to register under N C A rules, Frank Kramer of Newark the first amateur.
