WORLD CYCLING
According to Bennie Clare, the English racing cyclist, who has justsreturned to Australia, the Tour de France is likely to be held and will clash with the Tour of Germany. When the world's controlling body, the Union Cycliste Internationale, directed the attention of the German authorities to the fact that the Tour of Germany had been fixed for the same time as the old-established French race, they arrogantly replied that no French rider would be competing, and they intended to proceed with their own event. It seems hardly likely that Italian or other neutral cyclists will take part.
