consisting of George H. Stratton Char
". ". n L.
Vincent A. Dodd, Alameda, has taken
great care and pains with the details of

for riders and officials, and a large force of
marshals will keep the course clear. The

R. NJ. Welch of the National racing
board states that there will be no winter
circuit of Eastern riders here this year.
This is not surprising to those who are in
touch with the situation and confirms the
expression of opinion made in THE CALL
some weeks ago. A cycling writer on a
morning paper came out with what he
thought was a big story about that time
telling how Bald, Cooper, Gardiner and in
fact every Eastern rlde- of note whose
name he could think of was coming here
to race this winter. The CALL then pub
Iished an article showing the impractical
bility of such visit Tor the men, and that
there was little or no likelihood of their
coming. This is now confirmed by letter
received by Mr.. Welch of the racing board,
which states that the Morgan & Wright
team (Which is made up of eight of the
most prominent riders) will not come, and
that F. Ed Spooner, who managed the
California trip for the Eastern men last
fall, has decided not to bring any riders
West this fall. This is in line with what
The CALL informed its readers about six
weeks ago. Wells, Ziegler. Mcfarland
and Coulter, the Californians now on the
circuit, will probably come home, and
johnson and Michael Will probably stop
here on their way 10 Australia, but those
who expected to see Sanger, Bald. Cooper,
Butler, Gardiner, ct al, are destined to
disappointment.
The Wheelmen' Municipal League will
meet again next Wednesday evening.
Messrs. White, WeIch, Stratton, Swain.
Jerome and Hancock constitute the thea
ter party committee of the Associated
Clubs. They have arranged for the
wheelmen to have full swing at the
Tivoli Wednesday evening, October 81.
Lewis G. Hunter of the Olympic Club
Wheelmen has been placed in nomination
for secretary treasurer of the North Cali
fornia Division of the League of American
