The Olympic Club will bhanquet their team at a downtown rotisserie Saturday evening. Charley Wells, the popular Bay City professional, has gone East to try an- other season on the circuit.

OAKLAND, May 17.—The Acme Wheel- men met to-night and decided to send the following protest to the association: W. L. Loos, Chairman Road Racing Com- mittee, C. A. C. C.—Dear Sir: The Acme Club wheelmen desire to protest against the winners of the 100-mile relay race for the Leavitt and Bill cup on the lith instant for the following reasons: First—Only three of the four starters left with a package, the Garden City representa- tives having none. The missing packet was ready for delivery, but the person having same in hand did not make proper effort to deliver it to the proper party. Second—After the three riders, who were rid- ing_ together near the Six-Mile Hill, fell and started away again, a Garden City rider was in possession of the Acme packet, by no au- thority and much to the disadvantage of the Acme rider, who was compelled to start off without same, and upon returning in a few minutes to renew his search for it he passed the Garden City rider, who did not attempt to deliver the package to its owner. By the time our rider got on the road again all Acme chances in the race had been lost Notwithstanding the fact that the rules gov- erning the race do not permit pacemaking, this particular rule was grossly ignored, and tandems paced the riders of the Olympi¢ and Garden City wheelmen throughout the race, and even to within 100 yards of the end of the race by the relays. (Signed.) W, CROSSMAN, OR, . W. AUSTIN, Racing Committee of the Acme Club. The opinfon was freely expressed that the association is not giving this side of the bay a square deal. It was said that the Reliance Club of Oakland and Rec- reation Club of Alameda had been disci- plined for infringement of rules, and that the Olympic and Garden City should also be made to obey or suffer the conse- quences. One member said that If the protest does not produce the result desired by the Acme Club that the club will chal- lenge the winners over the same course, and will put up a cup now in its posses- sion and valued at $150. — Have Buried the Hatchet.
