On Tuesday Pons and Roeber will
endeayor TO settle the much mooted
question Of superiority at Greco Roman
wrestling. Both men have been train
ing for weeks and are said TO be in fine
fette. Pons Is much taller and heavier
than the American champion, and
many people think that these advan-
tages viii be sufficient to make him a
winner Roeber, however, has met and
defeated bigger men than himself and
may do so again.
In the bouts in which Pons has en-
gagged since he has been In this country
he has not displayed very marked abil-
ity. Unless Roeber has deteriorated
during the past two years his wonder
full agility and knowledge of wrestling
tactics should bring him out Of the con-
test a winner.

ANNUAL
MEETING


VA bers Of the League of American
w Wheelmen in particular are in
terested In the forthcoming annual
meeting of this association, at which
the election of officers Will take place.
Although the l.. A. w. has not one
half the membership Of a few years
ago and is not the power II once was In
cycling affairs, it is still an important
organization, with more potent in
iuence In the wheeling world than most
people imagine
1t seems to be pretty generally rec
ognIzed that the coming assembly viii
be the most Important OF recent years,
for upon the result Of the deliberations
may depend the very existence of the
league. One thing is certain; If no rad
zeal change be effected at the forth
coming conclave, the league Will con-
tInue to "dwindle away toward moth
ingness."

brief Is that the L. A, W. be reorgan-
lied 10 such an extent that II viii be
practically the nucleus Of new organ
ization. The league since it surrender
ed control of racing, has confined its
attention almost wholly to the matter
of good roads and side paths.
Under the new dispensation there
will be a great national good roads as
ISOLATION II is TO embrace In Its mem
barship wheelmen, Automobiles, farm
Iers, owners and drivers Of horses and
others who are interested in the good
roads movement The present organl-
cation Of the league will be followed in
the new body to the extent of having
state divisions and other subdivisions
which viii control the work done In
their own districts and band together
for mutual aid and protection.
This plan, It is expected, will be
brought In detail before the l.. A. W
legislators at the annual meeting this
month.
An interesting feature OF the assem-
bly, will be the election Of new presi-
dent Mr. Keenan, will not serve again.
and at least half dozen successors
have been suggested The man who at
present appears to have the strongest
following is George r. Bidwell OF New
York. but Mr.. Bidwell has on several
occasions declared that he is too busy
10 accept the Office.
Among the names mentioned is that
OF w. S. Earle OF Michigan While
those who profess to be familiar with
the inner politics OF the league declare
that he has no chance Of winning, there
are nevertheless certein significant
straws which seem TO point TO him as

Lovers OF boxing often express won

IL Is seldom that a football player,

There are exceptions, OF course. such
