MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March S.-Minne-
sofa bicycle riders are talking of seeding
from the League of American Wheelmen,
and. in connection with the states of North
and South Dakota, form an independent
league, for the control of cycling racing
In the northwest. Circular letters have
been sent to every wheelman of note in
the section interested in the proposed
movement. and the responses Indicate that
the sentiment in favor of throwing off the
league control Is general among the racing
contingent. The men who are at the head
of the movement are all members Of the
league, and are prominent in racing circles
in the northwest.
The plan proposed contemplates the
formation of a league somewhat similar
to the League of American Wheelmen and
which will work along the same lines as
that organization. The principal difference
between the two bodies will be that the new
league will admit professionals on the same
terms as amateurs, and will also issue
sanctions for Sunday racing whenever de-
sired. The lines between the amateurs and
professionals will be drawn as closely in
the new league as in the old one, and care
will be taken to keep the sport as clean as
1t has ever been under League of American
Wheelmen control.
