The fight between the two organizations organiza-tions which is sure to result will not ho only local 1 11 Its aspect. The quarrel will c.s-iend to the two governing bodies, the N. C. A. and the F. A. M.. nnd It would be hard to predict what the result will be. In putting Whittlcr on In a motor-paced motor-paced event at the Salt Palace Friday night, the Salt Palace management had the backing of tho N. C. A. C. L. Berry. Salt Lake representative of the N. C. A., and 1 1, W. HeaKfon, manager of the Salt Palace track, both decline to admit the Jurisdiction of the F. A. M. over molor-p.'iced molor-p.'iced events. That tho fight will be continued by both sides Is evidenced by the announcement announce-ment of the Salt Palace management that a motor-paced race would bo featured at Its (rack next Tuesday night, and by the prompt suspension of F.

Rlshel, acting representative." representa-tive." The national phase of the fight between the X. C. A. and the F. A. M. is illustrated illus-trated by the following telegraphic copy of a letter sent Thursday by Dr. J. P. Thornley. chairman of the board of control con-trol of the F. A. M.. to C. P. Keslev, chairman of the board of control of the N. C. A.: Thornley 's Opinion. "After carefully looking over these articles ar-ticles of alliance between the N. C. A. and the F. A. M-, which you kindly furnished fur-nished me sonic months ago. I woidd like to say that the only definite statement and agreements In this alliance Is tho agreement to uphold each other's suspensions. sus-pensions. As 1 told you at that time, this was pr-rfectly satisfactory to me. and that I have no option In the matter. In any case, tho recent trouble in Salt L.ake City has developed a situation and condition con-dition of affairs which requires In my opinion considerable further adjustment and agreement between the N. C. A and the F. A. M. Those agreements should be in writing, full and definite, ana should have the approval of the presidents presi-dents of and the sanctions of both organized or-ganized bodies. I would like lo say right hero that personally I am In favor of reciprocity in the matter of exhibition riding and pacing for motorcycles and bicycles Indiscriminately either under your sanction or ours. Where there is any competition or exhibition under your . sanction with tho motorcycle alone or motorcycles pacing bicycles, sanctions should bo obtained from this organization also. In default of any dcllnlto writlen understanding on this point 1 shall require re-quire In the future that every motorcycle exhibition and motorcycle race, motor paced race and motor paced exhibition shall havo a sanction from this organization organi-zation before the motorcycle rider who thus competes or rides In exhibitions or competition without F. A. M. sanction automatically au-tomatically suspends himself under our rules. I shall therefore Insist on these provisions being carried out."
