jjj. which wui told In The Bu.v j cstertlny, lin cro
ak atod a sonsatlon In tho bnselinll world and has I
M attlrTed up tho cranks on tho other sldo of tho
Qfr!, bridge. Ebbcts, It U said, has gathered to-
wl .' nether enough capital to control 80 per cent, of
I (ho stock of tho club, and has already bought out
the tuuch-tslkcd-of minority stockholders, in
cluding Henry J. ltobtnson, George Chauncey,
and others, who became tdentlflcd with Brook
lyn baseball affairs when John M. Ward organ
tied the I'layon' Leaguo Club in 1800, with
headquarters at Eastern Park. Tho consolida
tion of the National Leaguo Club owned by
Byrne, Doylo. and Aboil with the I'laycrs
tieajruo Club in 1801 was a serious mistake for
Uio former elcmont. At Washington Vark
Sryne, Doyle, and Abcll mado plenty uf money,
but-at Eastern Park they lost. Tho withdrawal
of "Joseph Tloylo loft Byrne and Abell In tho ma.'
Jority nt Eastern Park, and later Byrno sold
somo of his stock to Abcll. Tho latter then
JK' oWTtcd'about .10 per cent, of tho stock, and with
;ffc Hyrne's, remaining Interests ho wielded not less
v& thin 09 per coot, of tho whole Issue, which was
i p? tnado on a $250,000 basis. Tho minority stock-
f fl - holders, who were jointly interested in the Kings
Si' County elovatcd road and tho Itldgowooa Land
v Company, on whose property Eastern Park is
f located, soon tired of making good the losses and
S8l wero satisfied to rocclro nn annual rental for
flS. tho ball grounds, which, of necosalty, was paid
'Iff " Abelh as there was nobody elso to do it. In
ljp ' 1806 the club lost $11,000, and Abell was forced
Ew to make it good or five up tho franchise. In 1807
v tho club dropped $1 l.OOOJmore, and that was tho
(fist, last straw. As tho losses had increased with each
WS, season since tho club went to Eastern Park
ff,4 Aboil decided to call a halt. Ho said to The
tBi Bun-representative not two weeks ago that ho
jj would not put up any moro money and wanted
Mf to get out of baseball. Ho also said thnt ho had
Sf! sunk nearly 9100,000 in tho Brooklyn Club and
Icould'seo no way of getting nny uf It back.
Abell has been game to tho backbono through
all of tho club's vicissitudes, but the Illness of
'. President Byrno, upon whom Abcll has always
depended, Is a serious blow to him, and ho has
felt" moro Ilko washing his bunds of tho wliolo
business than ever before. Alieil wnsllioroforo
surprised Iho other day when Ebbcts, uho bas
i, acted as seerutnty and treasurer of tne club for
many year, inlurniod him that he hud raised
.T money ciiutmh to buy out tho minority stock-
fcwp holders. Abu I was so delighted at tho enter-
1S& prhtoof his jo,in;t frlcml tluil liciuimrdintcly ln-
tjav FormodClmrlpylli.il ho could get tho balance of
HS? the utml; held b; .. hell ut a reasonably low flg-
Eflp tire, fn fact, the iirt'-o was so fair that Kbbeta
ES& secured nn option until Feb. 1, when, in all prob-
HA ability, hj will buy It. ...
13 Tho Illness of I'riMldtnl Ilyrno has brought
Si tho deal to a crisis' mo o than -mythlng else. An
?J' ho cannot ret over fmui this slcknc villi which
Sj holasuOcrlni.", MiniuliiiiKimil tube none quickly
5' to pull tho attaint of tnu club out ol the mire.
ff ' A. largo sllco of tho Eastern Park rent b.ul not
?8p, been paid, and the salaries of various club em-
& ployccs wero in arrears. Kbbets, it is be-
;? loved, has raised tho coin, anil everything will
&ij bo paid off in full. As Hie club is now practi
se colly In Kbbcts's bands, ho will assume tho
&S dutios left by Ilyrno. In a word, be will bo
SB elected President nnd gcnornl innnngcr, Ri
ft: though William Uornlo will continue to handle
v'j tho team. Barulo and Kbbets havo always been
K,' warm frlonds. nd they will undoubtedly
M? work in harmony. Eobets i a hustler, but
2 his capabilities wero somewhat held In check.
i lie' has mado a reputation for htiutclf as tho
' flnost schedule maker in the business, nnd on
many occasions President Young lim, been
compelled to ask his assl'tiinre. With bull
players ind tho magnates Kbbets has nlvrnys
been popular, whllo ho has an army of fricndi
alnong tho cranks. Ho will undoubtedly mora
the club away from Eastern Park. If ho van se
cure anoihcr suitable location which ho has in
Tiow. nnd will also play Hundnv tin!), both at
homo and abroad, unl ss nil signs Tail. As
far as tho team Is concerned, it will receive a
thorough overhauling. .hbbets and Iliirnie
Will have a confcienco to-tluy, and will dcvnlo
to make soyeral important inoes. Abell is
well pleased over the turn of affairs. He s.iM
i yesterday that ho named a pi ico for hli stock
'" that was away below his former llgurcs. as he
knew of no butter man than Kbbets in whom to
trust Brooklyn's baeoball affairs. Even should
Kbbets decide not ta buy Abel1'! stock, tho
latter would probnoly assist him materially
In bolstering up tho club, which, if properly
' handled and n ninnint? team can be set urea,
will prove a bonanza. Il if said on good author
', ity that Ebbcts paid about 25,000 to get the
minority stockholders out, or nt tho rat of
k !usthan U3Mi cents on tho dollar. It will take
t more than that, bovrover, to buy out Abcll.
Those who saw tho JIlchaol-Tnyloro rnce In
S&j tho' Garden on Saturday night were disap-
Kv pointed. Thty had been fed to bellevo by press
3 . notices with liaring headlines that Michael was
"(.'' In poor condition while tho Frenchman was a
& wonder and would w in. It was with outs, oken
S? feelings, then, that they viewed Tuyloro's tle-
ih" feat, which was apparent to all nftor ho had
Vt , ridden one mile. The moment Michael passed
it'- him, which created great enthusiasm, tho ci owd
f began to reflect, nnd before ten miles bad been
T finished, there wero expressions of disgust on
, all sides. Tho spectators, who had couio to tho
F Oarden with tho Idea that Tayloro would win,
said they had been hoodwinked, because they
f could not bco how any Intelligent persons could
iffls hftTO ' predicted a victory for Tayloro on his
ME form.- In his practice on the track in private,
M$" Taylore showed that he knew comparatively
m, little' about chunglng pace, which is tho vital
JtJ", point upon which all of Michael's lctorlcs have
S& depended. And yet tho Frenchman was
W "touted" as a sure winner, because Michael was
! "stale." Before tho race Shnfcr, who Is Mich-
sel's manager, said that tho littlo fellow was In
'Jfli good condition and implied thnt tho stories
S?t about his being stale had simply been circulated
J6j to' attract the crowd. There w ero 7,000 per-
2& sons 'present and it cost $1 to get in nnd stand
jfUt upj Michael and Ids manager got nearly half
Mr of tho gross receipts. Tayloro h friends nnd
jpi& handlers had considerable fault to ilnd with tho
m referee. A. D. Wuito of the L. A. W. Htato
Itaclng Board. They claimed sovcral fouls,
?& which were not allowed, and tho rcferco was
Y,f blamed by them liecttuso ho did not sco the al-
ist legednbUBCs. Wnlte did not occupy a position
& from which he could seo tho entire track, but
jail stood on the floor opnolte tho Twenty-sixth
x& street side, where he could only see thnt short
tj'j, strip from one curvo to tho other. Kvcn when
Taylore s handlers claimed that Michael's !nc-
Ing machines wero interfering purposely with
tho, Frenchman on the other sldo of the track
tho referco mado no effort to get to a point
','.' where ho could watch tho performances nt nil
dm tho riders during the ontirc running of euch lap.
Sj'B Tbcro was no place provided for him by tho
Mc niapagers, neither was thero a prominent place
fiff for the newspaper writers, who wanted to sco
iij. the entire race. Tho press inclosuro was about
I twenty feet long and contained probably ten
,A; chairs. It was situated on the floor of tho
W Harden opposite Ite starting line, and whs so
'M' hemmed In by the crowd that nothing could bo

ffi. from a neighboring city to see the light, and who
g was said to bo on authority, I found htm in

" I was greatly disuupolnted," said Sam to Trie

meeting was cut down to ten rounds because
tho Mayor refused to grant n permit to tho club.
It was a good exhibition, honctor, nnd Daly
mado a great showing. Had it lasted ton rounds
moro Daly would surely have scorod a knock

aark" McCarthy Another Change In Utiles.
With tho biennial congress of lho National
Trotting Association scheduled for next month
at tho Murray Hill Hotel, horsemen aro can
vassing the outlook for needed chnngos In tho
rules of harness racing, particularly tho propo
sition to bar hopples and to strongthen
the rulo against laying up heats. As
noted In The Rcn last week tho Ken
tu6ky Trotting Horsa Brooders' Association
has petitioned tho approaching Congress to
tnko action on thejo' matters, and tho indica
tions are that a determined effort will be mado
to amend the oxlstlng rules. The sontlments of
the Kentucky horsemen found expression in tho
following resolutions, introduced by Major
Henry Clay McDowell, former President of tho
association, and ono of the oldest and most
prominent brooders In tho bluo grass country:
iJesolrcif, fly the How J of Directors of tho Ken
tucky Trotting llorac Breeders' Association that the
iio of hopplea on hones In racing la dangorous to tha
life and limb of every driver and horse participating
Ihcrjlu: that It mars the enjoyment of the publlo
witnessing such races, and that It worka great Injus
tice to those who race horses without hopplea,
forcing them to place their lives and property In
jeopardy without any compensating advantage what
ever. We therefore respeotfully rtqueit the National and
American trotting associations to pus a ruls prohib
iting the use of hopplea In races over the tracks of
their respective members, attaching a special penalty
of auch severity for Its violation as will Insure full
obedience from each track ao governed.
Retolvtd, That the rules now In foroe against tha
practice of laying up heats are Ineffectual, and that
aa a tar against fraud and tba Indefinite lengthening
of races, they form no protection. Tho experience of
all practical horsemen bas ahown that there Is but
one rulo that will effectually provide tha safeguard
desired, and that la to shorten tho distance.
Wo therefor - respectfully request tho National and
American Trotting Associations to pass a rule fixing
the distance In races of mile heata between six or
less horses at thirty yards i between aeven and twelve
horses at fifty yords, and between thirteen or more
horses at seventy yards, and to affix a special penalty
for the violation of this rula by tracks In membership
with said associations of such severity aa will Insure
its strict observance.
This action of tho Kentucky horsemen is of
moro than ordinary Importance, owing to tho
fact that Major P, P. Johnston, the Presldont
of the Breeders' Association, is also tho Presi
dent of tho National Trotting Association, and
by vlrtuo of tho latter offico will appoint tho
members of the Commltteo on Rules at the
forthcoming congress.
Although hopples were virtually unknown
appliances In harness raclnga few years ago, the
use of tho straps to forco horses that are not
natural trotters and pacers to go tho gait has
lately becomoBO common that It is not an un
usual thing to see a majority of tho horses In a
pacing raco rigged out with "two sets of har
ness." A few coses wore reported last year
whero every starter wore the straps. Probably
soven-elghths of tho horses that rcqulro them
ar pacers. Hopples havo caused many serious
accidents since they came into general use, for
if drawn at all tight they are pretty certain to
trip the horso that wears them If ho happens to
muko a break. New York race-goers saw four
horses, sulkies, and drivers piled up in a heap
on the Fleetwood track during tho Grand Cir
cuit meeting two or threo years ago when El
Itiml was thrown In this way, Ed Goers. M,
E. McHcnry, Harney Dcmarest, and many other
prominent drivers consider tbn appllnnces so
dangerous that they will not drive horses thus
rigged. Demurest, who has drivon trotters for
twenty-flvo years, said yestcrdoy to Tun Sus
reporter:
"Tho Kentucky peoplo ore right nbout bar
ring tho hopples, but 1 don't expect to seo tho
National Association do anything nt tbo con
gross next month. The organization is run oy
tho track managers, und most of them will
be opposed to lho rule, because it would
cut down the number of entries, espe
cially In pacing races. I bcllove marly all
drivers nnd a majority of owners aro
in favor of barring tho straps. Of courso
(icrsons who go to the races are in favor of It, too
mt tbo owners, drivers, and racegoers won't
have nny mora to say up there nt tho Murray
Hill Hotel next month than they had last
month at the meeting of the Board of lto
view. I haven't driven a horse in hopples
slmo I got thrown out nnd hurt at Com
bination Park Inst year. It Is dangerous enough
to drive In a raco against other horses thut wear
them, and I have pulled back more Ihun once
this year for fear of an accident when trailing a
horsutbnthud them on. No trainer ought to
be- compelled to risk his lifo by driving In a raco
w hero hopples are used."
"How much fa falling off would there be In
entry lists if hopples w ero barred I" asked tbo
reporter.
"That is a hard question to answer." was tbo
reply. "But the falling off wouldn't amount
to anything in trotting races, nnd
wouldn't be very great with the
pacers. A largo majority of the horses
that wear hopples could bu tnug'it to go with
out them. It might tsko longer to cdurnto
some of the pacers to go that way, but every
trainer knows it could be dono In most canrs.
I havo seen trainers who used tho slraps from
forco of habit never tried to got a pacer going
without 'em."
" What Is your opinion of tho Kentucky prop
osition to shorten tbo dlstnnco lo thirty yards I"
"Whats that!" exclaimed Demurest, who
had not read Major McDowell's resolutions.
" Why, nobody would race horses under such a
rulo as that. Suppose you mado a brotkt
Whero would you be! Outsldo the flag, Ilko
enough, and your money burned up.
Oh, no. That won't do. If the Na
tional Association wants to stop laying
up heats there's just one way to do it.
Hang every man that mokes a bet on n heat and
every bookmaker who chalks up tho oddc. As
longns tho rules aro so thnt k driver can bot
against his horso for the heat and lose the heat
without losing the race, you will sen plenty
of llicin laying up heats nnd robbing the
public. I bollevo this business of betting on
beats hns done moro to drivo good men away
from tho trotting tracks than all other
causes combined. Another thing. If a driver
botson his horse to win a heat, ho Isof ten tempted
to kill his chances for tho rice right thero In
that hcut in order to snvo his bet on the Iicat.
Somebody gets in front of him, or ho makes a
bri- ik, maybe, and then ho hns to drive the Ufa
out of his horse to win. Then they bent him
back In tho other beats nnd the owner bw oars bo
pulled the raco. Liko enough it's the owner's
monoy on the heat Hint the driver kills his horso
to win. and then the judresand tho newspapers
get after tho driver because he doesn't win tho
race. I somutiines lay up a heat, but I nover
plavmy horses that way, nnd don't bellevo it
oiu:bt to bn permitted."
W, II, McCarthy, better known as "Knap
sack." who drovo Littlo Brown Jug nnd Hope
ful ncnrlj twenty years ago. has this to say
about tba KcntucKv r solutions:
"Tho hopples ought to go. They're danger
ous nnd n bod thing for overybody. Three
quarters of theliorMjsthatwe.tr them could bo
trained to go without them, and us for those
that couldn't, what nro they good for.nnyhowl
Hoppled borepi ain't worth n dollar to drive on
the road, and iioIhvIv would want to breed to a
stallion that couldn't go fast without I no straps.
It scciiih to mo there h something In the rules or
hy-hiwH of thu National Association nbout lm
proilug tho breed of horses. I wonder If thoy
think hopples 111 help to do it J I don't.
" When the Kentucky peoplo talk about mov
thcdhtiiiiie Hag up to thirty anlK. 1 think they
re all wiling. It wouldn't suit anybody that I
lm In til, of. In the first nlaro a man wouldn't
ciilii hfilioreu nt it meeting whero thnt rulo
was us il ii lie could help It. One break, might

limes hoik, you know. It wouldn't

wouldn't i i-t ns many entries, nnd I know Ihe
men who lei would kfok If any such rule was

and licslui's it would open the osslest way In the
world foe inlnvcr to lose a raun or a heat If ho
wiitiioiin, One littlo break would do tho busl-nts-
,-t cry lime."
" What remedy would you suggest In place of

Winnings at 1-liawnesV
In the play for a bl-weckly cup at the Wash
ington Golf Clnb, to run through noveral weeks,
lho scoring Is dono. by points. The winner re
ceives three, the second player two, whllo one
goes to tho third man. Owing to various clr
cumstancos only ono member played for tho cap
on a scheduled day, and thero It eonsldcrnblo
discussion regarding tho number of points ho
should rocclvo. Tho cnptalnot tbo club gavo
six points to tho pin) er, reasoning that as ho
was certainly first he was entitled to tho
points for that losltlon, and, as thero
was no competition for second or third
placo, tho points also foil to htm. To
bear out bis decision, the captain notes:
"As tho prl7cs awarded consist of points to tho
number of six, the ono player enters tor a pro
portion of threo points, or he mar got first, soc
ond, or third. He may cloct to say that he won
third placo or second place; therefore, If the
playor does elect to tnko third place, thero
being no better scoro than his, tho first nnd
second place points must naturally fall Into his
winnings ami swell his total to six." Tho Cap
tain's decision and reasonings aro disputed by
the other winners In tho scries, who failed to
play on tbo day specified, Thoy hold that tho
lono man should not scoro moro than throo
points.
In most competitions conductod on the
point system on the links in tho metropolitan
district, to avoid an lssuo such as that which
confronts the Washington Golf Club, thero is
always a clause In tho conditions stipulating
the proportion of points to ba scored in case of
a walkover. Undoubtedly, whero tho condi
tions are not definite, the Cantain nnd the
Greens Commltteo have a wide latitude. The
point raised is not covered by the rules of the
U. 8. G. A., and the dissenting players might
confer a tncdt on golfers generally by
exercising their right of appeal to the
Executlvo Commltteo of that organization.
Undoubtedly, tho player who hns tho " sand"
to piny In tho scries on a dny too dlsagrccnblo
for tbo other members, deserves a reward, but
many think It Is nn oxccsslvo award to permit
him to "sweep the board." In an open com
petition a player may hardly elect to start only
to be second or third lo tho exclusion of first
place. Under tbo circumstances, to rocoivo the
lull number of points duo to tbo winner, when
the first place has beon gained without compe
tition, seems to bo the highest possible award.

Bright Onttook Tor a Successful Year at Co
lombia Ualverattr.
With tho return of tho studontsof Columbia
University from tbo holidays to-day tho rowing
season will onco more bogln. Tho candidates
will report in tho afternoon to Uapt. Longacre,
nnd active preparations for training will bo
commenced. Thero will ba more men to pick
hor crews from this year than ever before, inas
much as they will havo moro time to dovoto to
tho rowing by not having to waste It travelling
to and fro In tho cars. There Is, however, one
obstaelo which Bttll remains to bo overcome,
n moly, tho question as to who will coach.
Everything has been done to try to Induce J.
A. B. CowTcb to again assume control, but ho
has refused, owing to tho pressure of prlvnto
business. Ills methods wero w oil thought of. Ho
developed a long and powerful stroke, very sim
ilar to that of tbo Columbia crew that won in
England in 1878, but in ono year a fair test with
men accustomed to n different .stroko could not
bo accomplished. His crews.wbllo not victorious
last year, mado a creditable sbowlu . Thore Is a
strong sentiment among the majority of under
graduates and anumberof graduates In favorof
Wnlter Pcet.who formerly had charge of Colum
bia's rowing. But It Is doubtful whether ho
could devote the nocessary time. His methods,
while differing somewhat from those of Conies,
have their goon points. He coached Columbia's
'86 nnd '1)5 crews, both of which were victorious.
If there Is a possibility of gottlng Pcet, 11 is
likely ho may Deselected. Columbia has always
been opposed to professional coaching, and for
Ibis reason she has not considered engaging
any outsider to take tho crew s In hand.
No list of the1 candidates for tbo crews has
been mado up. Of last yenr's men thero are
tlvo In the university, but of these only four
have exnrcssed Intentions of coming out again.
They aro Longacre. Shattuck, Lewis, and Mao
Kay, Putnnm, the fifth one. Is In the law
school, and will not row. Besides theso tbero
nro Elmer nnd Mnchen, who were substitutes
on tbo 'varsity in '07, and nbout tlvo or six
Sromistng men from last year's freshman boat,
ddte. another of '!7's 'vorslty substitutes, has
been elected mnnagor for this year. As tho new
gymnasium, which la to be one of tho best In
tbo world. Is not qulto finished, nrrangements
havo been made for tho crows to begin the pre
liminary training olsonhcre. A large room hns
been fitted up in the basement of Schcrmerhorn
Hall. A set of chest-weight machines nnd eight
new rowing machines have been put iu, and
shower baths erected. This is a great Improve
ment on the cramped spneo the crews hnvo been
compelled to uso during tho past three years In
the little stablo on Fifty-first stroct.
The rowing hereafter Is to bo run by the boat
club. The only bearing it has on tho Athletic
Union Is that to engngo in contests with out
siders it must receive tho union's sanction. The
flnnncial condition of rowing nt tho university,
while not so encournging as it might bo. Is far
hotter than ever before at this time of tho year.
Thero is not one cent of debt stnrlng the man
agers In the face, and everything subscribed
from now on will go directly to the support of
the '08 crew. The expenses for tbo coming year
will also ho lighter, inasmuch as there are more
boats in tho bouse. Then the dues of tbo boat
club will go to the support of rowing. With
everything npposrlng so bright for Columbia as
the men aro about to start work, something
unusual, tho outlook for a successful year Is
very promising.

rirat Viee-Prraldent on Ihe Potter Ticket.
An Informal discussion of business matters re
lating to tha welfare of tho L. A, W. was held
hero yesterday betwoon President Pottor, Chair
man Mott of the Racing Board, and Chief Con
sul Jenkins of tho Now York State division.
Mott, who was present at the recent meeting of
tho Pennsylvania and Maryland division ofllcors
whon Messrs. Potter, Keenan, Klrckcr, and
Mcrgentbnler wero Indorsed, explained In detail
the result of that mcoting and tho senti
ment of the big divisions, whloh Is over
whelmingly for tho reelection of Potter as
President. It was unofllclnlly announced on
Saturday that Mott's visit was in rotation to tbo
investigation in progress about tbo short track
in the Madison Square Garden. The presence of
A. D. Walte, a member of tho National Ilaclng
Board, and Walter Wilson, tho Buffalo member
of the State Ilaclng Board, who was officially
identified with tho recent six-day raco In tho
Garden, strengthened this belief. The latter
was ono of tho notable absentees at the meeting
held In this city on Deo. 25 to Investigate the
charges against tho American Cyclo Association.
A member of tho L. A. W. ventured tho opinion
that it was expected the investigation would
result tn tho imposition of a censure upon
Charles Ashlnger, tho track builder, and tho
suspension of tho race promoters for several
months from tha privilege of holding tourna
monts during a season that sneh a suspension
will not Interfere with their racing dates.
Since the announcement was made that the
Potter ticket will consist of LB. Pottor, New
York, for President; T. J. Koenan, Jr., Pitts
burg, First Vice-President; C. F. Klrokcr, Pater
son, Second Vice-President, and A. T. Mergen
thaler, Ohio, Treasurer, tbo Western wheelmen
here protested. The distribution of tho ofllcos
of I'resident and tho two Vice-Presidents to
throo divisions situated closoly togothor has
relived tho cry that the Leaguo Is governed
solely by Eastern men, whllo tha Western mem
bers receive scant recognition. It Is tho custom
to give a position on tbo Exicutive Committee
to the Western section. Outsldo of the four
leading olllces, tbo Chairman of thu Ilaclng
Board comes next In point of prominence. To
glvo this olllco to a Western m mbcr might
nppcaso the anger of tbo oters thore,
but It is understood thnt Potter's re-election
mentis the reappointment of Albert Mott of
Baltimore. A genuine feeling of resentment
has arhcii In the West over tho fact that not
ono of their mon has been named for tho threo
leading offices on tho Potter ticket, nnd a strong
effort will likely bu made to develop a formidable
candidate for Vice-President. Douglas Hobort
of St. Louis, a well-known wheelman, le am
bitious to botomo First Vtce-Presidtnt. A mem
ber or the Leaguo who has been identified with
tbo progress of tbo organization slnte its early
history criticised tno present situation ycslor
duy as follows:
''It seems evldont that there Is a disposition
to cast aside all customs in lho L. A. W. this
year and count the Western wheelmen ns being
inel giblo lor any of the big oilkos. The Eastern
divisions nro stronger numerically, but such a
stop Is calculated to provoke dissension in an
organization that should stand as one in all Its
divisions. In somo places in tbo West tbo
League membership is small In comparison to
the cycling copulation, nnd it may be that the
object of overlooking thut soction in selecting
tbo ofllcors Is In tha sonso ot a rebuke lor the
Indifferent work of tho W. stern divisions in
building up their memberships. Of courso, tho
reelection of President Potter is assured,
but it is by no means positive that
Keenan and Kireker can bo elected ns First and
Second Vice-Presidents respectively. Potter,
through his strong advocacy of good roads and
bis long work In tho Intercom of thoL. A. W
has n national following. With Keenan and
Klrckcr it is different. Their supporters arc
confined to their respective divisions, and the
election of Pottcrdoes not signify that his entire
ticket will go through. The Western wheelmen,
unless they are content to figure ns n very small
part In tho Leaguo, must develop a strong can
didate, Connolly of Illinois, for instance, nnd
get enough votes to alict him. Ho is ono of tho
nblcst men in tho L. A. W and 1 havo no doubt
but that he could glvo to Keenan or Kriekcr a
groat hustlo for office. It stems 111 advised to
ignore tho Wist, and no member of the Leaguo
should understand that act better than Presi
dent Potter. Such a move breeds opposition,
arouses factional differencis, and will icsultln
the consummation or deals for the support of
various moasuros In exchango for votes, nnd the
result will bo that sOmo of the host laid plans
outlined for the good oi tho League will bo de
feated tht ough the lack of harmony. Tha award
of the national meet to Indianapolis is In no
senso a recompense to tho West for tho loss of
olllce."
President Sklnkle of tho Century Road Clab
of America bas decided lo roslgn, owing to the
pressure of other business. Among lho men
mentioned as hi successor are Daniel W. Adco
of Brooklyn and Andrew O. McGnrrett of East
Orange. Both aro officially identified with the
organization and fully qualified to serve as
President.
