Frank Fuller Has Returned From the East - Entries for the Meet at Dixon. 

Frank W. Fuller of the Olympic Club Wheelmen, who attended the National Assembly of the League of American Wheelmen in company with the California delegates, R. M. Welch and F. H. Kerrigan, returned from the East yesterday. He was hearty in his confirmation of everything said by Mr. Welch in the interview with him published in THE CALL last Monday week. He said that no consideration whatever had been shown the Californians or the delegates from the other States who desired divisional option on Sunday racing. Mr. Fuller is very much in favor of the establishment of a Western league, and says California had better hurry up or it will lose the honor of having taken the initiative, as both Illinois and Louisiana are already taking steps in that direction.

Nothing will be done here, however, until the return of Chief Consul Kerrigan. He is expected the latter part of this week.

The following are the entries and heats for the big meet to be held at Dixon tomorrow. The riders left Santa Rosa yesterday and are now at Dixon, which is the second town on the State circuit. They will ride at Woodland next Saturday. The Dixon track is much better than the one at Santa Rosa, which insures a fine meet there. The entries are:

One mile scratch, professional - First heat - Fred Loughead, Canada; C. S. Wells, San Francisco; Max Morris, Texas; C. R. Coulter, Mansfield, Ohio; D. E. Whitman, Los Angeles; F. M. Byrne, San Francisco.

The spirit of road-racing is among the wheelmen, engendered no doubt by the great twenty-five-mile event of last Sunday. There will be two road events next Sunday, each at ten miles, held by the Imperial Cycling Club and the Olympic Club Wheelmen over the course from Fruitvale to Haywards.
