AFTER RACING DATES.
Nctcs and. Virus on Live
Topic* of the Day.
Unless the recommendation by Governor
Masjiiee in his annual message to the l^sis
leture that a Jaw be passed to prevent oral
betting as an amendment to the preser.t
law against organized bookmaking Eervea
to cool the enthusiasm of the various
racing associations, the stewards of the
Jockey dub must shortly struggle with tho
vreblem of how to assign dates for the
meetings next Mason without conflict and
without friction, A year ?so nobody want
•d dates. until the Association of Breeders
:.th} Ownerb was organized for the purpose
<-f pus rant some of the racing associa
tions against loss in the running of certain
Bftaksa. Even then there were enough dates
*nd to spare. The reason did not open
•until ilsy 33, almost a month lator than
usual, and followers of the tport had to be
content with three or four days a week
until the meeting of the Knipire City
Jockey Club. In July, when James ButieV
teck the .bull by the horns and brought
racing back to a somewhat normal condi
tion.
Tfc?r» Is a decided change for the better
this y#ar. or ivas until the disquieting
message oj Governor Hushes, and it looks
now as if th« d-t**^ would not go around.
The Saratoga association -wants thn full
month of August, the Brooklyn Jockey
Club and the Coney Island Jockey Club
have mad© ambitious plans and will de
mand full recognition, th*» Westcbester
JUjcing Association is preparing an at
tractive programme and will ask for its
usual dates, while the Brighton Beach
Racing Association, which did not conduct
a meeting last year, is back in the fold. or.
rather, lias announced a strong programme
of Stakes to be decided at a meeting at
Brighton Beach. The Queens County
Jockey Club, which races at Aqueduct, and
the Metropolitan Jockey Club, with a track
at Jamaica, have not made their demands
public but it can be said that dates will be
applied for for at 1/rast one meeting. If
perchance Aqueduct anl Jamaica would
forego dates in the fall, and be satisfied to
hold spring meetings, which would be more
profitable than late in the season, the prob
lem would be easy of solution. It would be
possible to take care of Brighton Beach
«nd give Saratoga a full month, which. in
my opinion, is desirable, without conflict
Fnd without friction.
That the sport of racing has recovered to
* large extent from the effect of what al
most amounted to a knock-down blow by
the passage of the Agnew-Hart law in 1905
was clearly indicated last week in the clos
ing of a number of stakes which will bo
decided nest tear dp. at Sheepshead Bay.
Graveeend and Brighton Beach. The en
tries showed a marked increase in both
quality and quantity over a year ago, when
th« outlook was dark and gloomy. The
fit&soclations which struggled along last
reason, well content to accept a small loss,
in some cases, in order to keep the sport
*live. did their part by offering more at
tractive programmes, and well deserved the
whole-hearted response from horsemen ami
breeders. Tho best of the two-year-olds
will be raced In this country, and not
abroad, next season, while the older di
vifcien has been strengthened by the return
from England of such good if not great
hot is as Ballot. Prlscillian. Dinna Ken,
Helmet. Fair Play and others. This means
much better racing than a year ago and
a greater and more sustained interest on the
part of followers of the sport.
The question of paid stewards to serve
throughout the season came up for discus
ho:. among some racing men in the Wal
dorf last week. It is an old subject, which
has been thrashed out time and time again
and concerning which followers of the
i-rcrr can never scree. Racing lias been
professionalized to such an extent that it
is folly, perhaps, to cling so desperately to
the la&t remaining hold on sport for sport's
fake in the way of honorary stewards. It
lends a touch, however, that adds some
prestige, and for the time at least it would
seem better, in my opinion, not to make
any radical change.
There are some Etrong arguments in
favor of paid stewards which the Jockey
Club might do well to consider, not the
'east of which lies in the fact that under
th« present £3£tem there is a decided con-
Cict In the interpretation of some of the
rules c! racing, particularly the one refer
ring to disqualifications. This in itself
)«ad£ to much dissatisfaction during: the
season and should be avoided. There is an
other reason, however, which strikes me as
far more forcible, in vtC the authority of
the kenorary Etctst&ni begins and ends
with one particular lUMn'g and opens the
way to tharp practice on the part of un
scrupulous owners or trainers;.
It has not been unusual in the past for
*<-inf horses, to run a bad race on tho clos
ing days of one meeting and a surprisingly
good one m '.he early part of the next meet
ing-. The stewards of the first meeting
■would have no substantial reason, perhaps,
for questioning the poor performance until
it had been followed by a startling; reversal
of form, and by that time it would be too
late, inasmuch a- the authority of the
stewards of the In* meeting had ceased
»nd a new set was presiding, with jurisdic
tion only over races that were run at the
pucceedlng meeting. A remedy could b«
provided in the appointment of one paid
steward, who!-* authority would extend
from meeting to meeting, but who could be
restrained from a too constant stirring of
muddy waters by his associate?, who, as
now, could bo appointed as honorary stew
ards. This, it eccms to me, would be a
Jong ttep in the right direction looking to
a. more complete control of the sport.
At the TTv^tinr of the Maryland Jockey
Club fttPixnJico last fall a secretary to
the stewards was appointed, who served
In the capacity of steward when called on
and who was prepared a', all tiin«»3 to give
information required on the form of the
hordes sad details *.<'. i.. sport. Such an
office might well bo established here as a
rtep;»ir:s stone to one paid steward, with
full authority.
Th*» appointment of Frank J. Bryan as
reeretary to the hunts committee puts an
find, iio doubt, to any chance ho might
have had of being named as judtre to take
the place of the lat«» Clarence McDowell on
the Joclfpy Club circuit. Mr. Bryan would
liave. made an ideal judge, but it is more
t!:an like'.y that his ability as an organizer
ran le tHMd to even better advantage in
the newly created position. Tno amateur
fide of th« tport needs building up and
regulating, and the hunt club meetings hi
ili'i future are sure to fee run along more
approved lines with Mr. Bryan at the helm.
"In my opinion the appointment of a
espabie judge is cue of the most Important
question* the stewards of the Jockey Club
must settle in t! ■» near future. A:» Inex
perienced ::.au should not be considered
for a. mora^nt. The ta§ja» O placing the

believe that Frank J. Bryan is the logical

have reached a conclusion.
It strikes me that those who control the
destinies of football at Princeton have act
sd wisely In deciding that Captain Hart
must not play under the conditions that
exist, even :!t<'ui;,i it was done at a great
sacrifice and against strong undergraduate
pressure. As a result of an accident more
than three rears ago, as it appears. Hart
ha; cracked a cervical vertebra, and a Wow
directly on the weakened spot, according
to those who have obtained medical advice
In the matter, would be almost certain to
result in a tragvdy similar to that which
cost the life of a West Point cadet last
year. It is true that Hart has played in
many games since his origin;.! injury with
out suffering any further harm. But this
result has been achieved by the wearing of
a fantastic headpiece of leather and iron,
the propriety of which, even under a strict
construction of the niles, is open to grave
question, while its use cannot Iks defended
by any true sportsman. This headgear
Kives Hart a distinct advantage in playing
the frame, though it cannot be an ab
solute protection «nd safeguard against In-
Jury to himself. Princeton owes something:
to the parents who send their sons to the
university — some assurance that no delib
erate sacrifice or risk of sacrifice of life or
health thall be permitted. And Princeton
owes something to her athletic rivals. It
Is not fair to ask players on other teams to
enter a game hi which an opposing player,
through what would ordinarily be a trivial
mishap, may meet with his death. Such
accidents are bad enough, in all conscience,
when an earnest effort has been made to
eliminate the danger of their occurrence.
They would he a thousand times worse if
deliberately invited by a defiance ot the
most ordinary precautions.
Joseph E. "Widener said a few days ago
that his colors would not be represented
in the Grand National StecDlechase in Eng
land this year. He added, however, that
lie had ambitions in that direction, but had
made ud his mind not to shoot at tho moon
until he shoots with a good gun. It is hoped
that Mr. M'idener, who has been a strong
friend to 'cross-country racing, may get a
really good horse in the near future, in or
der that he may try a shot.
August Herrmann says the national com
mission is aeainst syndicate baseball. Of
rourse it is. Tf the "fans' thought other
wise the supreme court of baseball would,
soon lose any power it had for good. In
this case no assurances should be neces
sary.
Charley Murphy says: "Too much har
mony is not good for baseball." The pres
ident of the Chicago Cubs loves to talk and
has made a close study of the dictionary,
but he sometimes talks in riddles. What
3.c meant to say. no doubt, was: '"Too
much harmony operates against publicity."
Of course, Mr. Murphy knows that pub
licity is the life of baseball, as it is of pcil
tks and trade.
There is a vast difference between hard,
earnest play and rough, foul play. There
is a vast difference between checking, trip
ping and slashing. It appears, however, as
if the members of the Wanderers'. Hockey
Club have failed •to discover a difference
in the meanins of certain words, and until
they do hockey is bound to suffer. /

GIVE TROPHY TO E. R. THOMAS.
Memento of Paris Race Presented at
- Automobile Club Dinner.
At a dinner given late Saturday night at
the Automobile Club of America a trophy
was presented to K. U. Thomas, manu
facturer of the Thomas Flyer car. winner
of the New York to Paris race. The pres
entation^ as made by Harry Burchell for
"L*s Matin," of Paris, and "The New York
Times," givers of the trophy, which is
the largest of its kind in the world. It
stands six feet high and weighs i.6»
pounds. The materials used in its con
struction arc native products of the nations
which were represented by cars in tho
great endurance race. The pedestal is of
green Italian marble, embedded In which
are bronze plates depleting eventful eplßodes
of the race. One scene shows the start of
tho race and another the arrival of the
Thomas Flyer cars In Paris. A third shown
the cars which took part in the race and
the order In which they finished.
The sob-base of the trophy is of marble
from France. The boulder effect of this
portion of the trophy i- distinctly novel and
adds to its beauty. A great brooM globe
of the world forms the top of the trophy.
The route of the race is traced through the
various countries in silver wire.

OH THE GOLF LINK
MAKING PLANS EARLY
Baltusrol In Hold Open Tour
ney for Women.
All hough the Baltusrol Golf Club is not
In line for any championship for next sea
son, the officials of this well known New
Jersey organization hove already decided
upon an active campaign. One move under
consideration is to hold an open tourna
ment for women, the Idea being to have
the contest attract the best players in tho
Kast. No decision has as yet been reached
with regard to the date, but it is not un
likely that a week in the spring will meet
with the most favor.
Apropos of this, it is worthy of remem
bering that the Women's Metropolitan Golf
Association may decide to change the time
for holding its annual championship tour
nament from spring to fall, and should
this be done the Baltusrol open meet, prob
ably in May, would prove all the more
welcome. The women enjoy indulging in
the competitive side of the game in the
spring, but an early date has always had
its disadvantages as to weather.
No matter what tournament will be held
over its course, the Baltusrol Golf Club
will be in better condition than ever to
accommodate visitors. The new clubhouse
is one of the most attractive of Its kind
to be found anywhere in this part of tha
country, while the course, under skilful
treatment, continues to improve. Ihe wide
hazard guarding the home green was still
further altered during the fall, as from its
depths tons of sand were taken. So as not
to have the hazard too penalizing, part of
the excavation has been refilled. There is
a spring close at hand, and this has sug
gested a partial water hazard as well.
In dlscusfcing the approaching crisis be
tween the United States Golf Association
and the Western Golf Association, a prom
inent local amateur relieved his mind last
night somewhat as follows:
T fa,il to se<? how the breaking away from
the fold on the part of the disgruntled ones
In the West is bound to caute such a ca
lamity as has been forecasted. In fact, the
two sections of the country, moving along
independently of each other, might serve
as a stimulus for th.c sport and a blessing
in disguise. After a few years at most
the chances are that the difficulty would
work itself out by the wiser heads'on both
sides getting together and bringing about
a reunion.
Although an Eastern man, it seems to
me that those beyond the Alleghenies have
had more or less cause for complaint. I
believe the time has alfo arrived when the
United States Golf Association member
ship should consist of only one class, with
all nn.-mbers having the privilege of voting.
It may have been well enough in the old
days to confine the power to a select few
so-called associate clubs, but that is all
past now. Let every club have a vote.
Don't I think such a plan would -cause con
tusion at meetings and lead to endless
trouble? No, I fail to see why it should.
The annual meeting would probably be at
tended by about two hundred delegates,
possibly a few more or less, and, even ad
mitting that they held the proxies of an
other two hundred clubs, the voting prob
lem should not prove Buch a fearful'haz
ard. I believ<; this equal representation on
the part of all clubs in the Western Golf
Association has as much as anything t?lse
caused them to be a unit on this question
when it comes to national legislation.
A foreign scribe in discussing the subject
of golf supremacy states that not long ago
It was the regular order of things for a
championship to be won by an Englishman
or a Scotchman. Continuing; he says:
America was the first to throw off the
British yoke, and the present year has
been a remarkable development of strength
on the part of the native golfer. Only the
other day it was announced that the River
Plate open championship at Argentina had
been won by a homo. bred player, Itaoul
Castillo, described as one of the best end
dies at San Andres. So excellent a trolfei
as Munso Park, who has been inside the
prize : libts in the open in Great Britain
could, only finish sixth, twenty strokes be
hind the winner, and there were three na
tives in the first four, P. J. Asao, of I.on
don, being the one invader to seriously dis
pute the right of home rule.
This result does not necessarily mean
that the United Kingdom is In imminent*
danger of bdng overwhelmed on the links
by Argentina, but it is one of several in
cidents that demonstrate the ever increas
ing catholicity of the game. During 1309
l;rst time native successes such as that of
Castillo have been frequent. ; M. Francois
de Bell^t has won the French .champion
ship; Mrs. Bevan, a Maori, has gained the
New Zealand championship; E. Keller has
become the open champion of Canada and
C. Felstead has wrested the Australian
championship from the settlers in the Com
monwealth. These are signs' of the times;
who <-.'U! say that half a century hence the
United Kingdom will be Mill pre-eminent?
From time to time references are made
by writers to selected scores' of a more or
less exceptional nature, but. word comes
from the other side- of a performance on
the part of a well known member of the
Royal Aberdeen Club that has probably
placed all other efforts in tho shade. Ills
score for eighteen holes at the Balgowine
links was the marvellously low total of 48.
This included seven 2s, one 4 and ten S*.
The only 4 in the score was at the second
hole, where ho misted a chance for a 3.
He got within two feet of tho hole on hla
second, only to miss the put and perhaps
the chance of a lifetime was lost of doing
every hole ii? 2 or 3.

Seven Games Less Than ?n Last Year's List —
Southern Trip Planned.
Princeton. X. .T., Jan. 9.— The Princeton
baseball 1 team for the coming season will
play fewer games this spring than for sev
eral years, according to the schedule an
nounced to-day by tho manager, A. J.
Donavan, *10. The schedule calls for twen
ty-nine games, with one more in case of a
tic. as compared "with thirty-six games ami
one more in case of a tie, on last year's
schedule.
For the first time in several years the
Navy, Virginia University. Dartmouth,
Syracuse and I^ehigh are omitted from the
list of games to be played, while William?,
Trinity, Dickinson, Richmond State League,
Richmond College and the New York
Americans aro the names that appear for
the first time in several year?. The first
game to be played comes on the same data
as last season, but the Southern trip of
four days at this time is a departure which
will go into effect for the first time this

JAMESON SHOWS WAY.
Glencoe Captain, After Month's
' Rest, Wins Club Run.
A field of fifty-two starters, which was
by far the best" that has started in any
'cross-country, run hereabouts this season,
competed In the weekly four-mile run of
the Glencoe Athletic Club over its usual
course in Harlem yesterday.
Harry Jameson, the captain of the Glen
coe Club, showed the results of his
month's lay-off by winning the contest
after a stubborn fight with a dozen other
runners. Stewart Kennard. of the Xavier
Athletic Association, last week's winner.
finished second, while J. J. Williams, of
the New West Side Athletic Club, . was
third. '•• • : --•■:
After, allowing a. half dozen runnerc to
set a killing pace for half the route, Jame
son came forward and challenged the lead
ers and swung into the van. Haliey, Mo
reda, Kennard and Williams pushed the
Glencoe captain for a short distance, but
Jameson stood off the challenges well, and', .
sprinting to the tape, finished with a ten
yard lead over his. nearest rival.
There were many spirited tussles among
the remaining athletes, to the finish, which
proved almost as exciting as the fight for
first place. Harry Jensen, the Pastime
Marathon crack, . after being among the
leaders for more than half the race, found
the pace too hot and dropped back, finish

round of the rapid transit contest played
at the rooms of the Rice Chess Club yes
terday afternoon. L6on Rosen, the Pa
risian expert, was the successful opponent
of the brilliant Cuban in that round, and,
though the latter had established an ad
vantage by means of pretty chess, he waa
caught napping in a complicated position
under pressure of the time limit, play be
ing conducted at the rate of ten seconds
for each move.
Rosen thereupon went through the re
maining rounds and captured the first
prize.
The field of thirty-two players which
started was exceptionally strong. In the
semi-final round Rosen won from J. Ro
fcentha! in an irregular game, and J Mar
der defeated J. Tautitenhaus at the odds of
pawn and move. In the final round Mar?
der played tho white side of a Sicilian
against Rosen, gained the advantage of
the exchange, but was outplayed. Marder
was the winner of the second prize, and
Rosenthal and Taubenhaus divided the
third and fourth.

the public yesterday, there was much ac
•i- ■•;• in tfc«s Garden nevertheless. A rush
had 10 bo raado to open the exhibition on
time on Saturday night, and. as a result
-■■>-- cf the exhibitors could not giva the
finishing- touches to the booths where their
vi ares are being shown. T .;.- was attended;
to by them yesterday.
"When the crowd was let in on the cpenlns
night severs rof the car?, among them a
TVhlte steamer, ' •! not been brought into
the amphitheatre, but to prevent a blockade
they were not shipped into the buildln?
until yesterday.
The Sabbath, although nominally a day
of rest, was really what might be termed
a day of criticism. Hundreds of makers
• and dealers now in the city took occasion
to visit the show and inspect the many dif
ferent models, comparing one with the other
and reaching conclusions as to the relative
merits of this, that or the ether car or ac
cessory. Jlany took occasion to maki final
adjustments of their exhibit?, so that this
morning everything is in much better con
dition than it was on the opening night,
■which is not at all surprising considering
the fast work necessary on the openfas day.
The consensus of opinion . of those men
■who aro In a position to know Is that this
is a most remarkable show ; it contains no
end of excellent features in mechanical and j
body construction. The decorative scheme |
has received no small amount of praise, It
being conceded that the arrangements are
entirely in keeping with the exhibits. Here
tofore the decorations have invariably given ,
the Garden a dwarfed appearance, detract
ing somewhat from the excellence of the j
displays. The decorations this year, how- !
ever, seem to give the Garden more mag- j
nificent proportions, greater depth, greater !
width and greater height, and permit the ;
cars to stand out in broad relief.
Another thing which tends toward a mor* '
attractive display is that the makers as a ;
whole have confined themselves to showing ;
only one of their several models, and mak
ing: the best possible display. There is no j
overcrowding of the space?, permitting an
excellent opportunity for the inspection of
the splendid collection of motor vehicles.
Tho lighting of the 1 Garden this year 13
better than ever. In addition to the thou- >
sands of incandescent lamps that run along '
the girders, there are no less than twenty
eight flaming arc lights, each having: " a :
lighting capacity of 2.000 candle power,
making a total cf 56,000 candle power •
from those lights alone.
A great novelty at this show Is the Thorn- ]
as revolving chassis on the main floor of •
the Garden. By an ingenious contrivance I
the chassis of a Thomas Flyer has been ;
mounted on a shaft connected -with electric j
dynamos which revolves the chassis, dis- ,
playing to public view every part and par
cel of the same. The attention of the inter- ■
ested Is drawn to the different features of .
the same by dials which become Illuminated j
upon reaching a certain point.
While the nredominating colors of finlsn '
are black and dark blue, it is a noticeable '
fact that almost every exhibit contains ona
or more cars finished in battleship gray or
dust color.
As an indication of what may be expected
in tho near future, it is interesting to note
that among the line of accessories are many
driving chains for aeroplane motors. They j
are, perhaps, not particularly attractive to
the rank and file, but are Interesting to
the man who keens abreast of the times.
3 Fire Chief Croker visited the Garden yes
terday, and, in company with Colonel
George Pope and Secretary at L. Downes,
mad'! a complete circuit of tha building.
