Objection is made by wheelmen In various SEQ
lions to the new articles Of alliance now In force
between the L. A. w. and the A. A. U. Excep-
tion is taken by members OF the L. A. W. to the
fact that the new alliance grants cyclers. MEM
bers Of A.. A. U. clubs, the privilege Of racing
outside the 1oo.mile limit without n permit
from the l.. A. w. Granting this concession to
A. A.. U. riders alone 10 regarded as an unjust
discrimination, and League riders feel that the
new agreement IL calculated 10 work to the adj
vantage OF the Union and to the disadvantage
of the l.. A. W.. The L. A. w. officials. in
Guiding Chairman Mott Of the Racing Board
and Howard r. Raymond, who represented tho
League In drawing up the new agreement, ex-
press confidence that the new alliance Is m
equitable afiliatlon and will work satisfactorily.
Secretary Sullivan OF the A.. A. U. stated TO THE
Sun reporter yesterday that he has studied the
new alliance very closely and fails TO see how
the l.. A. w. In any way accords any special
privileges to A. A. U. riders. He argues
that the union Is entitled TO every considera-
tion from the L. A. w. that is accorded to the
intercollegiate Association. md he feels that
the new agreement Is a just one. c. c. Hughes
OF this city, who aided President Nc
MILAN Of the A. A. U. In drafting the
new alliance, was interviewed by TnE suN re-
porter yesterday in relation to the sentiment
that the alliance was entirely one-sided. He
classified the objections made to the new agree
ment as worthless. and assumed that they did
not come from the officials of tho League. He
pointed out that the fact Of two organizations
controlling different branches OF sport, with tho
one object of controlling each branch properly,
marks the suggestion of one association aiming
to secure any advantage over the other as
ridiculous. Speaking Of the alleged advan-
tage that A. A. u. riders will have In racing
outside of the 1oo.mile limit, he said
that as few athletic clubs maintain bicycle
teams at the present time, he does not see how
such a concession, II 1t is so accepted. is going to
work TO the disad vantage OF l.. A. W. members
The alliance was drafted with the idea that the
| Union and the League will be brought closer to-
gether in the future, and the members Of
both associations protected for their mu:
