BIG CYCLE MEET
- -
Has Seen Arranged Per
Rome ’rack.
NOTED RIDERS COMING.
Mr. Roy West Has a Word to
Say,
Mr. West, of the West Cycle
..-Co., has just finished negotia
tions with Mr. Eli W i'isett, one
of the southern circuit riders,
which results in his getting most
of thebest bicycle riders iu the
south to come to Rome.
Those coming are :
Ami Elliott, who holds state
championship, Eli \\ insett, who
holds several records for long
distances, Frank Steinhemer of
Chicago, Zennis Fields, Brooks
Cline, Wiley Mangum, Paul
Baker, Ben Botenrider, Grant,
Edwards, and several others.
Messrs. Finley and Rather
will be pace makers. Brooks
Cline and Wiley Mangum have
both ridden on the Rome track
and no doubt the public will re
member them. This is only a
partial list of the men who are
coming.
A match race has been made
with Paul Baker, of Atlanta, and
Doc Wingfield, Rome, Ga. This
will be one of the most interest
ing parts of the meet. Young
Baker is one of the most promis
ing riders of the state, and
every local lover of the sport
knows “Doc” Wingfield. Each
race will have a time limit so
that the riders cannot “loaf”
should they want to.
All races will be paced by a
tandem, two teams coming
will do nothing else.
The date for the meet is Aug.
17th. and if possible Mr. West
will get them to ride again on
the 18th.
