The Racing Board of the League of Ame-
| rican Wheemen is encountering some queer
| situations in these days. Owing to the de-
sertions from its ranks to those of the ~
c. A., II has been forced to suspend from
track privileges not only tho best known
riders. but number of men who have been
prominent in League circles for years
These are individuals who at one time or
another. have ottiCiated on outlawed tracks
or races. At the same time. most of th,m
have continued their membrr4Liu in the
organization and have been doing as able

prevent the man. who is at the head Of the
ONO DIVISION. and has been closely assocat-

from being on the tracks in his own dis
trict. and will bar him at the National
meet to be held at Boston next week
Inc Racing Board appears to be doing its
full share toward divorcng racing from
the other interests of the League. There Ia
considerable discussion OF a plan to have a
separate organization formed by l.. A. w
men to control racing in such way as TO
relieve the national body from any implica-
