Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-11-29

Thomas, Adee and Van Dyke, repre-
senting the Century Road Club Asso-
citation; Frank l.. Kramer, represent
ing the American Racing Cyclists
Union; Harold Dibblee, representing
the Empire City Wheelmen, and
troll. Beat that bunch and secure a
franchise for the asking. Among the
other business transacted was the APP
pointment of committee consisting
of President Adee, Vice. President
Million and Chairman Kelsey, of the
Board of Control, to take charge of
the revision of the constitution and
bylaws and report at the next an
nual meeting; the changing of the
date of the annual meeting to the
last Tuesday in April of each year,
and the election of Mr. Million as
delegate to the annual meeting of the
Union Cycliste Internationale to be
held in Paris in February, with full
powers to act in behalf of the Ma
tional Cycling Association. 1t was
also voted that the N. C. A. make ap-
plication for the worlds champion
ships for 1914, and that the chairman
of the Board of Control make request
of the various national organizations
comprising the u. C. l. for their sup
port in obtaining the meet. Messrs.
Dibblee and Kelsey were appointed a
special committee to confer with
Chairman Sullivan, of the Pacific
Panama athletic committee, con-
corning cycle racing events that will
be held during the period of the
worlds fair at San Francisco in 1915.
C
The most interesting piece of infor-
nation in the whole story is the fact
that the u. s. "A. may again secure
the worlds championships. If so, Mr..
Million says. he will give Newark one
of the biggest events in it's history.
He will bring over here, he told me,
all the best men in Europe, and Man
ager MacFarland has a plan in mind
to run a series of three meets a week
for three straight weeks If the Velo-
drome promoters are awarded the
championships. That's the kind of
news the patrons of the game like to
read.

Money talksl'' is the way Percy
Woodruff greets you il you happen
to suggest that Young Weinert is in
for beating when he meets Battling
Lavinsky at Bill Browns Gym In New
York next Tuesday night. Yes. Man
ager Percy is throwing out his chest
and proclaiming his confidence in
Weinert from the housetops. OF
course, IL the worst comes to the
worst, and Weinert is given his
quietus, perhaps Mr.. Woodruff won't
be so cocly; but | have yet to hear
a squeal or a squawk out of the same
Percy no matter how things turned
out He must be given credit for being
a game sport, and in my experience
game sports are not as numerous
around here as they used to be.

Yes, money talks" and Manager
Woodruff has already bet $500 with
Silent Dam Morgan on the outcome
of the match. AS everybody knows,
Morgan Is supposed to be the King
Solomon of the boxing game. He has
a string of fighters a mile long and he
sometimes discovers that one MEM
Der of his staff is matched against
another member.
Go to It," Morgan will say, and
afterward he will collect his manage
rial percentage from both ends. That
is simply considered high finance.
AS Morgan, the high financier, is bet
ting $500 on Lavinsky-and I am hold
ing the money-naturally one would
at least surmise that SILENT Dan"
hasn't any the worst of it at the start.
But Woodruff's friends say that
Percy is making a big mistake and
some of them walk right up and tell
