Almost a score of the, best bicycle riders in the world are training there daily, getting ready for the season of racing which IPloyd Macl'arland will conduct, beginning with the opening meeting on Memorial day. May 30. A bicycle rider does not confine his training to riding a bicyclo any more than doea a .fighter devote all his time to work with, the gloves. Clarke, Law-son. Law-son. Goullot and tho other atars have their own trainera, their own system of training, and each has. his own idoas in rogard to tho best way to get into condition. Iver Iiawson is training harder right now than any fighter ever trained tor battle. He rides on an average of twenty miles each day on the saucer track to get his muselos hardened for the season's grind. But at that Law-son Law-son does not beliovo that riding is the best form of training for a cycle racer, lie is a dovoto of boxing. A set of boxing gloves is always a wart of Lawson's training oquipment and he nover overlooks au opportunity to use them. Any time a boxer shows ud Lawson begs him to don the gloves for a workout. Whon Micro are no professionals about ho talks some of the other riders or some of the trainers train-ers into having a friendly sotto. Paddv Hehix is another rider who believes be-lieves that boxing is ono of the bet forms of training for a cycle Tacer. Ho and Lawson usually box from six to ten rounds every day and they put up a nrettv even bouL Both havo a good knowlcdgo of tho finer points of the pamo and their contests aro always carefully watched by most of tho other DeoDle at tho track.' Jackio Clarke also has his own ideas about training;, Jackio-'thinks that xid-inT xid-inT and skipping tho rope are the best methods of getting into condition. After Af-ter ridine anywhere from twenty to thirtv mileB on tho saucer lie will skip thft rone for more than half an hour without taking an3r rest.
