ST. LOU 13. Feb. 8. It was not sup-poaed.

that the question of Sunday racing would. cut much figure In the League of Amer- lean Wheelmen's annual election, but It apparent that thl the main. issue now. and that the presidential election, binge oa tbl question. Many of the Weatern slates are hot for division option in the matter, and they are apt to support the candidate for the presidency who wilt turn his forces toward that end.

"President Potter refuse to come out boldly for Sunday racing. It is beliSTed. howsvor. that Potter will make some move to corral the Sunday men. x.

The. Illinois delegates will net arrive untn tomorrow, so that what they will do. and Just what they want not knowto. It 1 certain that they do not want anything at the hands of the national assembly, but that they do desire something at the hands of the next president. II they can elect some one favor able to their enos.

Waat Gerlaea to Saeeee Mott. They want- Fred Oerlach of the Illinois Cycling club at chairman of the national ra- clng bean. They know they cannot have this If they support Potter, and they are ready to support some one else, perhaps Gideon. They are a unit for local option, however. If any reliance can be placed upon the claims of the Potteritee their man will be reelected president, and have several votes to spare.

Mr. Potter's managers have figured out that he is sure of 214 votes, and that 170 will be all that Is required. In addition to this he ts pretty sure of five votes from the I District of Columbia, but is not figuring on them. It must be borne la mind, however, that the opposition has not as yet put in an 'appearance te any great extent, and the figures may be changed somewhat by the other side. The Potterites are quartered at the Southern, but the bulk the New York division has sot arrived.

Delegates are now here' from New York. Maryland, Michigan. Missouri. Nebraska. Colorado Tenneasee, Minnesota.

N. Hlnes of Michigan. -For Treasurer F. J. Tattersall of New Jersey.

The question is what will Illinois do. The Massachusetts and other New England dele gations, beaded by Sterling Elliott, arrived tonight and are quartered at the Southern. It has been reported that Illinois had made a compact with Elliott to do anything to defeat Potter, but even this Mr. Elliott denies, I though he admits that Illinois feels that Potter should be defeated. He says, however.

that at present no plan of action has been ar-i ranged. He is positive that there is sufficient strength to defeat Potter, and says that many of the Pennsylvania delegates have long I knives out for the New York man. The order tonight Is to hold caucuses pretty much 'aU night. Dtwais Ulckwar Iasraveatcat. The national committee on highway lm- 'provement held a conference today with Out Darner of Milwaukee in the chair.

There was fa lot of trouble at the station over tickets, as Py Davis, who had the majority of the paste-i boards. left In the morning with the New England delegation, taking them with him. Davis 'will have to do a lot of squaring this morning srhen the Chtcagoans meet him at the Southern. I Chicago has gone to the convention determined to secure at least one member of the executive committee for the West.

She reasons that the lack of Interest In league matters tand the comparatively small membership ts dus to the fact that the great West has no repre-aentatlve on the national board.

Commissioner WUion believes that a rider In a bicycle road race sbould observe rules of decency In. ths matter of dress; his confreres an the West park board agree- with him and. the result that regulation requiring that the contestants la such affairs wear more clothing goes with every racing permit given by the board Cor the us of any portloat of the West park system. Ths commissioner went further by placing a premium oa decency by offsrlng a. prise of 100 to be given to a rider wearing a full suit of clothing who finishes among? the first batch, at a meeting of the West park board last night.

The Northwest Cycling association, the only applicant for the Fourth ef July, was award ed a permit to us the park system In the flaUa of ths Wheeling race to be held that The old fight between the Associated Cy cling clubs and the Cook County Cycling' as sociation broke out before the board. Both wanted the us of the park for Decoration day. Both demanded preference, and neither was willing to yield to the other. The Cook County association had stolen a march on the Associated Cycling clubs. It had secured a permit from the town authorities of Wheel ing for a start between the hours of 9:10 and 11 a.

m. By thus cutting out the Associated Cycling clubs from an early start at Wheeling. It was expected to get the light of way before the park commissioners. John Si man, the chairman of the racing board of the As sociated clubs, was ready to meet the mat ter, and announced to the commissioners that ths race of his organisation would start from the Deaplalnea bridge. Just outside the town of Wheeling, and the permit would In no wise interfere with his body running its race In the mocnlng hours.

J. P. Hally, president of the Cook county organization, was the first to address the board for lbs Decoration day permit. He called the attention of the board to the fact that last year his organization cad secured the permft. and It was afterward given to the Associated Cycling clubs.

He outSned the cause that gave rise to a dual orgaMsatlon la the weal crotlng field. He said the Associated body. Jealous of the fine appearance) of the First Regimamt club, bad refuse a. tt admls- stoo. and tt was compelled' to start the rival organisation.

Mr. Hally asserted that his or-gaaixation was new the sAnxagsr of the two. It was willing to defray all expense of policing and stands if given a permit. Mr. Srman said his body waa the strongest In the county, with 15.004 members.

It an noal road race was the greatest cycling event ts the world. Ttte twelfth annual race would ecltpae all previous efforts la the number of entries and prise. Commislsoner Wllsoa sldstrsxked the discussion for a few moments, and created some merriment by asking: "What Is ths difference In time between one who ride la a breechcloth and a rider who wears clothing O. M. Booth of the Northwest Cycling aaio- ciatlon said there waa a few seconds differ ence.

"I think It Is a difference to decency," dry ly remarked Commissioner Wilson, "and be fore we go any further I want to demand that these riders wear clothing. I do not want to see any more of last year's exhibitions oa ths park roads of men and boys with hardly any clothing on them. Riders ought to observe common decency In their appearance. The other commissioners agreed with him, and in the motion granting the racing privilege to the Northwest association it was provided that the race be subject to such regulations as the board should make respecting clothing to be worn by the riders. Commissioner WUson then made his offer ot a 1100 prise to the rider wearing a bicycle suit who should finish In ths front.

The Decoration day discussion wag again taken up. 81 man declaring that It would be Impossible for the clubs to run within a short Interval of each other. He said men la the first race would be straggling In for an hour and a half after ths first maa was over the tap. It was suggested that with a half hour's Interval the races might be run without any conflict. (Mr.

Hally suggested that the riders could wear different colored numbers, and there would be no danger of the spectators mistaking to which race they belonged. Mr. Slman asserted that the races should be run on in the afternoon, the other In ths morning. He said his organization expected to be given the permit for the morning, and as neither organisation would tak second place the board announced that It would take the matter under consideration, and there would be no further need of the attendance of the applicants. Definite action will probably be taken at the next meeting.

What strength It has developed during too year will be shows at th coming meeting, and to live It must gala, for the reforms which Its members) are committed to accomplish win require powerful influence. While th constitution of th association distinctly states that th organisation ta co-operate with th National aad American Trotting associations, aad to act rather as a eorralatlv than, a eroaUvg body, at th aam tim It purposes to regulate specific svlls which it held obtain under th direction of the two governing bodies. To accomplish this it must hav power, aad unless tt gained la strength during the past year, and sine th first meeting, wane It was difficult to got a man.

ta accept th presidency, th future of the aaaoclatloa is doubtful. F. J.

At the later meeting the temporary chairman wat unanimously elected Ho accepted th office conditionally, and when later his candidate for secretary. J.

Finally Thomas H. Gill, woo had repeatedly refused to accept the presidency at th Bret meeting, agreed, rather than see tb aesocla- tton fall after what ho considered such well conceived pinna, to bacons Its head. After the question of th principal offloer waa settled they elected ss vice president Jame Golden of Bedford. aad Will J.

Even then Utchmakr Thompson had to throw out oa class for want of sntrie aad the four entries expected la eech did not materialise, la fact, but on, th US-pound class, had mors than two entries. Th pro gram as arranged by Dr. Pin for th show Monday evening gave promise at good sport. Th best local talent In th city wa booked for cos testa.

Half of these did not put la aa appearance at all and th other halt were only Induced to doa the glove when they war guaranteed a loser's end. The matches were poor, but It was no bait ot Dr. Pin. He received the eatrte and assign ed the men to their reapectiv classes, but that was aa far as ba could go la th matter. It la evident that something Is radically wrcng with the yoteca and thee defect.

If defect they be. wtU be remedied before next Saturday's Before that Urn Dr. Pin aad William Hale Thompson will meet aad settle upon a number of rules for th guldaac of th fighters.
