WITH THE WHEELMEN. I Clash of Two Big Clubs in New York
 Begins To-day.
 Worcester, June 22.-Charlie Porter, l the local rider, beat out Nat Butler 1 last night in the three-cornered fifteen mile motor paced race in which Benny | Munroe of Memphis was also an entry. | MunrOe's motor went wrong 1n the 1 third lap of the first start, and was l completely to the bad in the second start attempted. Referee Blaney or dered Porter and Butler to continue l the race. For four miles Butler dlu well, but soon after began to weaken. 1 The little Worcester lad Tapped his l larger opponent in the last lap, of the l fifth mile, and added two more to this l before the thirteenth mile was covered. Less than a wheels length separated Porter from Butler at the fnishtof the l last mile, giving the race to the former 1 by almost tWo-thirds of a mile in 1a
 minutes 15A seconds.
 New York, June 22.-On Wednesday | a cable was sent from here saying that l Taylor must return and fulfill his en- agreements or be suspended. This was serious work, for the N. c. A. is now 1 a member of the International Cyclists l union and if Taylor was suspended by I the N. o. A. he could not be permitted | to ride anywhere on the continent. It l was a bold stand for the N. e. A. to take, because Breyer is a power in Eu- Erope. The result of it all came sin 2. FEcablegEam 4toi5tl1e N.

 'C.4A. has compelled the champion to- return and that he will get here just | in time to ride in the opening meet of 1 the grand circuit at Philadelphia on July 6. After crossing the ocean and 1 being on shore day or two, it is hard | ly probable that the negro wonder will acquit himself creditably at the open | ing meet, even if he is not in the sulks | over his enforced return. Taylor has | been enjoying a series of successes on I the other side since he defeated Jac- quelin. He beat Huber and Arend at 1 Leipzig. Germany, Grogna at Antwerp and Momo at the same place.
 s54 asssS k4s6e l To-day the battle of the cycle, racing magnates will begin in earnest with 1 the opening of the Manhattan Beach I track under the management of WA. | 4.E I manager proposes to proceed on the l theory that big attractions are needed l to draw, crowd in the greater city. | He. expects to hang up purses so big I as to be irresistible to the racing men,. l The opening card has on it six well balanced events, but the one of chief | interest is the open paced race. On | this hinges the issue between the Man. l haitian Beach track and that a Madf- I son Square. Garden, which will open on | Monday night under the management l of J. c. Kennedy, formerly a partner I of Brady, but rival since Brady sued I him and his colleague, F. T. Powers, l for money taken in at the six-day race l in the Garden and won the suit. The | circuit of five tracks at Boston. Proyi- l dence, New York, Philadelphia and l Pittsburg, with seven star pace follow
 CTS, signed not to compete with one an l other on any other track, was a deal
 on. which Kennedy got in Madison | Square Garden to the exclusion of l Manhattan Beach. Whatever may be l the inside history of the deal, Brady
 seems to have taken it as hostile
 move and he proposes to fight it out
 on his own line of holding paced races 1 open to all for big stakes. As the rac- | ing men, professionals, are tout for the
 stuff,'' it is calculated that tactics of l this kind might be effective. The men
 signed to ride on the fve-track circuit
 mentioned include Nelson, Stinson, Me 1 Farland, Champion and three other
 crack cyclers. Brady's plan to have
 paced races open to all is in line with l a Parisian custom that has not proved
 popular here, but which causes great l excitement on the other side. Man l ager Brady styles the opposition at the | Garden as "trust' and has issued the | following statement: 'I have contracts with Harry Bikes and Jimmy Michael I for their services exclusively in Great CT New York, and they cannot mount a bike this summer at any other place but Manhattan Beach. I also have contract with Johnnie Nelson, calling for him to start certain number of times at the Beach, so you see the cy- cle trust will have their hands full in- terfering with my plans. 1t is on rec ord that a good race can draw more
 money at the Beach than at all of the tracks named in the trust put together. I propose to have races there every Wednesday night, and will offer better
 purses than ever have been hung up before in the cycle game. If the trust
 managers think they have the best riders under control I will match Jimmy Michael and Harry Bikes against any two they choose for a $5.-
 GOO or $10000 side bet, best two out of
 three races, at any distance. I do not
 include Johnnie Nelson in this def, as
 he is under Wgitten contract to me to
 appear at the track. Harry Bikes is
 recovering from his recent fall and
 will make his first metropolitan ap-
 pearance at Manhattan Beach on July in on fn h
