Deutscher Sport advocates that Germany should follow suit on the ground, that, us it has become imperative to raise the minimum weight in Austria-Hungary, a similar move is needed in Oeriuany. "the small Hungarian joe keys leing considerably lighter than the bigger and more powerful German riders." It is interesting to note.
