Australians have been wondering why there has been such a delay in the appearance oa the Sydney tracks of Cecil Walker, who is regarded in America and Europe as one of the finest professional wheelmen living. It was due to the Australian’s modesty. When he came back to Sydney he asked such terms from the tin gods of professional cycling that, their hair turned white in a single night. After weeks of bargaining, Cecil one day produced a ticket for San Francisco, and the entrepreneurs capitulated. He is now booked up for the Velodrome circuit, and will probably give local riders something to think about. All the same there should be some fur flying if Fatty Lamb and Hubert Opperman come into competition with him at a future date
