put the deal through at his request.
This as as sure as the sun, any other
statement to the contrary notwith-

C
Cycling conditions in New York
will take on q new angle. The six
day race, the big affair of the winter,
will be conducted by Mr.. Powers,
and it will be run under the Cycle
Racing Association name and ac-
cording to the N. c. A. rules. Mr..
| Million will not be interested in this
venture, for the simple reason that
it Is an almost certain loser Mr.
Uppercu, realizing this fact, didn't
insist on Mr.. Million going into the
proposition. After this years race
however, Mr.. Million will have a
share of the big grind. Other six
day races will be run, of course, in
other cities, and there is some talk
of holding a short-hour six day race
in Newark. Mr.. Uppercu, who is
delighted with the turn of affairs, is
anxious, 1t is said, to build an audi
forum in this city, in which to hold
indoor cycle races and other sports
Mr.. Million, it is also said, isn't
ayerse to the proposition. 1t would
mean racing all the year around, in
door IN the winter and outdoor in
the summer and this, it is believed,
would hold the riders together.
@
The racing men on both sides of
the street are in doubt as to how to
view the situation, but both-just
Ike cyclists-claim victory. The
Motordrome outlaws" declared they
mad the battle won and would have
won IL Uppercu held out until the
New York six-day race. The Velo-
drome "stickers" scout such an idea
and say that there wasn't a chance
In the world for the "outlaWs" to
win. On top of all this discussion
comes the announcements of meet
ings OF the riders at both tracks.
Frank L. Kramer, the president of
the American Racing Cyclists
Union, which name has also been APP
propriated by the outlaws" called
at the Evening Star office this morn
ing. He is noted for his diplomacy
and he was very careful about what
he said. He did say, though, that
some of the boys felt rather ANNOYED
over the consolidation, but he was
sure that some action would be
taken at the meeting today. He would
not say what the N. c. A. riders
would do in the case of the Motor
HF0n1a In l..
that while he wasn't for a too severe
punishment, he believed every one
of the men who quit the organization
should be fined good round sum.
c.
OF all the riders at the Velodrome.
Kramer is the most lenient, The
others are out for revenge, good and
plenty. One prominent man in the
game declared
we won't take back a single one
OF the boys who quit us when the
trouble came. Why should we? They
did all they could to beat us and
drive us out of business. Now that
we have won, we are going to deal
out the proper punishment. 1t is the
plan or the boys to suspend every
man who has competed at the Motor
drome for six months and to tax a
heavy fine on them besides. IL the
promoters interfere there will be an
other break and another war and
there will be another rack in town.
with the Big Six among those pres
emit"
c.
On the other side of the street af-
FAIRS are in more confused state.
The riders at the Motordrome claim
victory and say they will do all
the debating of terms of peace, and
IL there are to be any suspensions or
any fines levied they are the ones
who will mete out the punishment.
They are sincere in their declarations
and they are hot under the collar
because Mr.. Uppercu didn't continue
the war.
@
SO there you are. The new fight is
likely to be more serious than the
old one. The riders have a battle on
among themselves and they have
battles on with the promoters. The
Velodrome boys,--especially the big
Six" who stuck to the ship and real
ly won the fight for the Velodrome-
are sore because Messrs Million and
Chapman didn't let them in on the
deal. The Motordrome riders are the
real peeved guys, though, for they
are in a defensive position and the
clouds look dark for them. 1t is said
that the outlaws have no need to
worry, as Mr., uppercu has promised
that he will satisfy every man who
rode for him.
c.
Much light will be placed on the
situation as a result of the meetings
today, The important session will be
the one at the Velodrome, as the ac-
ton of the riders at that track will
mean what the riders at the Motor
drome will have to do to again get
in good standing. From an inside
source it was learned today that
suggestion would be made that the
outlaws be set down for one
month, and each fined 500, 1t is
all up to the N. c. A. riders who,
having an organization of their own,
their Ndecision shall be final. 1t was
also said that the amount of the fines
paid would be divided equally among
those who remained staunch and
true, instead of being raced for, as
has sometimes been the case in sim
liar instances.
C
Jackie Clark, who for some time
had some doubt whether to remain
with the Velodrome or to go across
the street with the Motordrome, is
said to be highly incensed over the
fact that Floyd mcfarland is to
manage the Velodrome track. Ac-
