League Aannnates-Rurther Conference ON
the California outlaw ouestion 20 ne teia
at 1suFalo-Potnts on acnrs snd Bearings.
Presldent Orr Of the Canadian Wheelmen's
Association desired to have q long conference
with President Potter last Monday and came to
the city Saturday for that purpose. Inc plans
or Mr. Potter. however, precluded any meeting
on Monday, 80 they had a one-hour session on
Saturday. 1t was the frst time they had met,
but inside Of i've minutes they arrived
at an understanding regarding the complicated
situation involving the relations OF the c. w. A.
with tho California outlaws OF the League. The
O. w. A. could not possibly recognize the seceders
from tho League and preserve its friendly rola-
tons with the latter, unless the Ia A.
w. sacrificed It's dignity. 1t would be
equally stultifying for the League to re-
insta.o those under suspension on the Pacific
coast at the demand Of the c. w A. stu the
c. w. A. needs the American riders TO make It's
meets successful. At present 1t cannot permit
them to compete, because Of their being under
suspension by the League. and the agreement
between the two bodies is that the suspensions
of each organization shall DO honorod by the
other. AT an early date Mr.. Potter will confer
with a committee from the c. W. A. at Buffalo.
and q plan may be agreed upon. Tho riders
wanted by the G. w. A. are men living way north
OF the California race tracks and mon not active
in the G. A. g. O.. although members Of it. In
view of this It is probable that some arrange.
