NEWS OF THE WHEELMEN.
THERE MAY BE TROUBLE BETWEEN
THE CANADIANS AND l.. A. w.

Trouble 10 expected DeCWoen tho L. "'oAN
the Canadian wheelmon's Association. inc
race promoting clubs in British Columbia
threaten to withdraw from the c. w. A. and
with the Associated Cycling Clubs OF
California-tho American outlaw association
unless tho Canadian association recognizes the
organization on the coast. Whatever course
tho @. w. A. pursues, trouble IN almost sure to
result.
At the present time the L. A. w. and O. w. A.
arc bound to recognize the rulings OF each BY
reason Of an alliance. Tho League will under
no circumstances recognize the Independent
league on the coast, so that tho Canadian Asso-
citation must either stand by the L. A. w. and
lose strength In Its own territory or else with
draw from Its alliance with the League and
thus lose q powerful ally.
The Executive Committed of tho G. w. A. has
decided to hold a consultation with the l.. A. W..
representatives before coming to any decision
about the matter. Secretary Dorly of the Q. w.
A. has been selected to confer with Chairman
Mott of the L. A. ". Racing Board. The ad-
justment of the trouble signifies o great deal TO
tho independent organization on the coast IL
tho latter receives recognition at the hands OF
the C. w. A. at a sacrifice to the L. A. w. 1t will
have procured an entering wedge to recognition
by foreign racing associations throughout the
world.
American patrons Of bicycling have been
treated to special and match races this season,
with the result that interest In ordinary COM
petition events 10 on the decline. The pitting OF
foreign and American lonR-distanco men against
one another and arranging In INVITATION match con-
tests where all the crack sprint men will meet are
respo nsible for this change. Paced match races
are the most popular contests at present. The
leading riders relish the idea of special invita-

general feeling that the large meets will suffer in
the long run II too much attention 10 paid to
paced match races for big purses. A well-known
racing man ventured the opinion yesterday that
there 10 q disposition on the part OF some of the
principal promoters to sacrifice tho value of tho
purses in the open professional races In order to
provide q big purse for match pacing events.
Such practices. It is claimed. will DO harmful to
the racing interests.
The noted riders In Europe are reported to DO
earning large incomes this year. The important
races are divided up between six or eight pro-
fessionals, who secure tho lions share OF all tho
big purses. Match and long-distance racing 10
conceded TO be the moro remunerative pastime.
Linton is said TO have saved S25. 900 in the past
two years from the income he derived from
racing. The boom. professional racing has
