New Alliance.

The L. A. w. and A. A. o. have
signed new articles of alliance. The
officers of the Amateur Athletic Union
decided over a year ago that their
agreement with the league was decid-
edly one-sided, the cycling association
deriving benefits that were not mutual.
As a result of some small differences
the A. A. U. subsequently terminated
its alliance. This action was inter-
rreted by some as an open defiance to
the L. A. w, and trouble was anticl-
pated. The officers OF the two associa-
tions came together, however. and
new articles of alliance were outlined.
Howard e. Raymond. the ex-chairman
of the racing board. was appointed to
represent the league in the negotia-
tions. and he stated yesterday that new
articles satisfactory to both organiza-
lions had been signed. He says that
the new agreement differs very little
from the old articles, except that some
of the disputed points in relation to
suspended riders and blacklisted tracks
have been more clearly set forth.

ent Office, early this year, he was a
-esident Of Milwaukee, where he had
resided a dozen years or more. He
was regarded as a Western man in
every sense, and in League politics his
selection was considered a recognition
81 the West. A few weeks ago, how
ever. Mr.. Morrison resigned his posi-
ton with the Pabst Brewing company
to accept the advertising management
OF Scott & Bovine Of this city. This
necessitated his removal to New York,
and he is now member of the New
York state division.
/ Whether that fact will have any
bearing on his future career in the L.
a. w. Is an interesting question, re-
plete with perplexing conditions. AS
Mr.. Morrison is one of the leagues
brightest and brainiest men, as well as
one OF its most consistent and con-
scientious workers, it is to be hoped
that his change of base will not put a
I permanent stop to his ascendency. In
the natural course Of things, following
the ordinary rules of promotion. Mr..
~~NA A7CAA nave Bttu the
successor to Mr.. Potter as president
OF the league. This would have been
I the rational reward OF service and mer-
IL on the one hand and good thing for
I the West on the other. But, now that
/ Mr.. Morrison is member OF the same
division as the incumbent president,
| It is possible that certain considera-
tons may work change for the imme-
date future at least. Mr.. Potter may
or may not be candidate for re-elec-
ton next winter. Should he run again.
\ that would, of course, settle the ques-
I ton for 1898. Mr. Morrison would not
be on the ticket again for vice presi-
dent, as the two officers would not be
chosen from one division. In the event
that Mr.. Potter should not run again.
several conditions would undoubtedly
govern Mr.. Morrison's course. Up tc
the time Of his leaving Milwaukee Mr.
Morrison was known to place his al
legiance first with the West, and indi.
viduals next. Among the latter, it Is
fair to include himself. His stand in
the last campaign was manifestly or
those lines. That being the case, it In
reasonable to suppose that Mr.. Morri-
son would support any good man the
West might develop as candidate for
the presidency. He would have TO be
good man in order to obtain national
recognition. Now that Mr.. Morrison is
no longer 10 be classed as represen-
tative of the West, it might be difficult
TO find a man from that section on
whom the larger Eastern divisions
would agree as a candidate for presi-
dent. Then the selection would have
to be from the East, and in that event
there is no reason why Mr.. Morrison
should not be the candidate, unless the
possible jealousy of other Eastern di-
visions should prevent the election of
two successive presidents from the
same state division. The Office of
president of the League of American
Wheelmen is essentially honorary, and
is the goal of the ambition of every
real league worker who has the right
interest in the organization and its
field of labor. 1t is, or should be, the
reward for particular service, and

should be removed as far as possible
from mere political consideration. In
the meantime. Mr.. Morrison is con-
Quoting Mr.. Potter's Office in calm Sc
renity. with apparently no anxiety as
TO the future. He declines to discuss
the subject, so far as he is concerned
personally. except TO state that the
leagues best interest is his interest.
