With two exceptions representatives
have been selected from each of the
cycling organizations. of the city to
constitute the Associated Wheelmen."
The new members of the body are as
follows: T.. e. Low and c. F. Shan
ley. Laurel Cycle club; Archie Matheis
and James McIlrath, Century Road
club; W. P. Confar and J. E. Meyers,
League Of American Wheelmen; c. B.

cial cyclers: E. H. Payte and Samuel
Spindler, Capital City Cycle club, and
c. w. Copley, ST. Paul Cycle Path
associa ton.
The Associated Wheelmen is a COM
paratively new organization, but has
accomplished a great deal that has
been Of benefit to the cycle interests.
Last year a census of the bicycle rid
ers of the city was taken by the or
ganiZation, and it was largely instru-
mental in getting cycle path appro-
priations through the city council.
AS the association includes a repre-
sentation of all the wheeling interests
of the city, it has been able to make
its influence felt in politics. Still the
wheelmen have no desire to use the
strength of the allied organization for
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT but with a
view only to securing a recognition of
the wheelmen through desirable legis-
lation.
A. D. Smith was yesterday appointed
state Handicapped for the L. A w. by
Chief Consul Ovitt. Mr.. Smith held the
position last year to the satisfaction

Archie Matheis yesterday received
the set of photographs which were
promised to all who attended the Cen
fury club run to Monticello last fall.
The pictures will be distributed to
those who paid the so cents entrance
fee at the time. No record was made
of the names, however, and Mr. Math-
els asks that all who are eligible send
in their names and they will receive
the pictures.
The pictures are five in number, neat

Lake Pulaski; the second the start of
the century at the corner Of Park and
TWenty-eighth street, Minneapolis; the
third, the pump at Big lake; the fourth,

The racing element has already COM
menced to look around and size up the
situation. The greater number of the
circuit chasers are under the ban of the
l.. A. w. and declare that they will
not enter another L. A. W. race This,
however, does not apply locally, as most
OF the Minnesota riders were rein
stated late last season. Chief Consul
Ovitt stated yesterday that the L. A.
W. was anxious to get the racing ques-
ton off its hands, and avoid all the
sQuabbling among the circuit men,
When the situation became serious last
fall committee was appointed to look
around and see If there was not some
other reputable organization that could
take the racing question off its hands,
and at the same time protect the pub
lie. The committee reported that it
had been unable to accomplish any
thing, as no organization could be
found to take the matter I'D to the
satisfaction of all. The only recourse
Of the l.. A. w. is, Mr. Ovitt states,
to retain the racing feature and pro-
tect the public. Perhaps the most
prominent and important feature of the
organization has been Its crusade for
good roads, and a protection of the
wheelman's rights. The racing feature
does not add anything to the organize
ton, 1t Is claimed.

agrees to secure, he loses the mateh!a
1t will be an attraction worth seeing,l
for, while he can doubtless throw either
man, he will have to work hard and
keep working to throw them both
twice. There has been considerable
money bet on the result, which is a fair
Indication Of the uncertainty of the
outcome.
Since his arrival in America, Adali
has defeated almost every man Of note
In the country. He threw Jenkins with
ease and found Isadore, the Russian
champion, even more easy, throwing
the latter two straight falls. The first

cinnati, twice in an hour and forty min
utes. He doWned Pietro Delmas, the
Frenchman, four times in ninety min
utes At Detroit he threw John Com
stock, the Michigan giant, and John
Leon, champion of Canada, four times
In less than an hour and a half. At
Milwaukee, Feb. Is, Adali was matched
against three strong men, Tom Shields,
the Scotchman; Bert Scheller and Tom
Cannon. He threw Schields twice and
Scheller and Cannon each once in q lit
tie over an hour
The Turks first defeat was in Chi
cago, where he was matched to throw
Farmer Burns and Rooney, the Chicago
gripman, each twice in ninety minutes.
He threw Rooney twice and Burns once
In little less than an hour, but Burns
succeeded in standing off the Turk for
thirty-hve minutes, preventing him
from gaining the fourth fall necessary
to win the match. At st. Paul, Adali
was again unsuccessful in an attempt
to throw Mcleod twice in an hour
In the coming match, however, Adali
has given greater odds than ever be-
fore in agreeing to gain four falls in
ninety minutes, without rest between
bouts, and it is probable that he will
find Mcmillan and Mcintyre harder
game than any men he has met in a
match under similar conditions.
