Now that ■.--•-•■• various clubs

niaaa the playing schedule, for the com

:! on. ■a that DBS came of baseball, and not
th«? politics of baseball, can come "'" Its
own. It is well. Kv«n the dyed-in-thc
wool "fans 1 have crown tired of what
Th« so-called "Biiagi ••■ hay« to pay. and
s « anxious to see the players slam the
«■ over the fence. It may be said in
r-assins that the. unmistakable show of in
ternal BUMa in the. National I^eapuo hi Ib
-trikinc contrast with the apparent har
mony in the American I/capue. Thomas J.
Lynch, the new president of the older or
ganization, will earn i—l fame as an cx
*cuti\A than he did as an umpire if he
can bring -ibout a businesslike administra
tion, once he gets fully ':■ touch with the
-onditior.s that exist. Tlv» magnitude of
his task was- fully appreciated by those
who waited ar.d waited in the corridors
of the Waldorf-Astoria last week for some
rl ing to happen- One man said in distinct
ly audible tor.es: "Does anybody envy Tom
Lynch his job. even at P/bN ■ year?" N*<
:-r>3y answered, and apparently nobody did.
The baseball "fans'* showed iwro than
usuaJ interest in the kindergarten fight of
'.h<* National I>apu«e owners. As a rule,
th* full sum of their craving is the chance
to m s. haid fill! I came, but the "Berry

their funnybon^s with a vengeance. Some
*re ■ _rf to laugh when others play the
clown. A pood laugh arts nobody, but

Walter Camp, Yale's athletic mentor, is
in favor of allowing doable the distance

to encourage open work In football. This
does not appear in the suggestions which

saying at a dinner In Philadelphia about a
week aco: 4 -.a«l
I believe that the solution lies in «>

Saver is sorely tempted to strike at *

that the dangers lie. I would also put a r
premium on outside running by aUowing
double the distance travelled.
I have the greatest confident, as a rule,

no closer student of the Bane, perhaps.
ha? ever lived, but doubling up the dis
tance gained on end runs would spoil the
game, in my opinion. Let a man strive for
what he can get. and be satisfied. Mr.
Camp's suggestion savors too much of a
premium for six pounds of tea.
■- The substitution of basketball for swim
mirg, water sport? and fly casting at the

MOTOR BO AT IN SWAT.
Exhibition in Garden Already
Meeting zvitti Success.
The motor" boat". show, which opened In
Madison Square Garden on Saturday, will
begin a- full weeks run In the big amphi
theatre this morning when the doors arc
thrown open at V> o'clock. Judging from
the large crowd that attended the exhibi
tion on the first day and the great interest
show& the show seems assured of success.
Several sales have already been reported,
which is looked upon as extremely gratify
ing by the exhibitors, when it is taken into
consideration that the show has not yet
enjoyed a full day's run. -
The attractions at the .exhibition are
many, and the interest shown by the gen
eral 'public in the different types of boats
points conclusively to the fact that th«
motor boat, whether for speed or pleasure,
ha* conic to stay.
The advantages of the marine gasolene
motor are many. The cost is less than
for steam engines, so that the first outlay
is much less than if a steam craft is want
ed The gasolene motor takes very little
room in a boat. It can be stowed under
the cabin or cockpit floor, where it can ac
complish Its object unseen. There are no
fir**; or boilers necessary to keep the motor
going, no fires to bank when the. motor
stops, and consequently no fuel is used
when the boat is at anchor. There is no
delay in starting, and the motor does not
take an hour or two to get power up and
does not need a licensed engineer to run It.
In a very small craft, such as a fisher
man's dory, it saves an immense amount
of work.
In a larger boat the gasolene motor Is
even more economical. It takes so little
room, even with the tank for the gasolene,
that a. 75-foot yacht driven by a gasolene
engine will have more accommodation on
board than a. 100-foot steam yacht A
steam yacht of that size will require a
crew of about seven or eight men. Four
at most will take care of the gasolene
yacht. There will be dust, dirt and h^at
from the steam; Hie gasolene motor is
clean and cool and. what is more impor
tant to the owner, better speed can he had
with a gasolene motor than with a steam
engine at a much less cost of running on
fuel consumption alone.
BOWLERS BKr MARKS.
High Averages Still Rule in
At hie fir League.
Record work marks the efforts of both
t^ams and individuals in the Athletic
Bowling League these days. Never before
In the history of this representative bowl
ing organization have averages been so
high. At present the Elizabeth Club en
joys first place In the race, with twenty-;
five games won and eleven lost, which is
three games each way better than Rose
ville and Jersey City, which are tied for
pocond pla<*c.
That leading positions do not always go
to teams with the b^st average- i: shown
by the fact that Roseville easily heads the
list, with the exceptional mark of 904.27.
while Jersey City's average is only 596.22.
So far as that goes. North End, which is
In next to last place, has practically the
same erase as Jersey City. The New
York Athletic Club is only a game behind
Roseville, and then comes Passaic.
Individually. Charlie Meyer, the Rose
ville anchor, is now at the head of the
average column, with the hitherto oi <■ :-■'■
of figures for this league of 135.14. Dwyer.
of Newark Bay, is next, with 194, and
tITMi follow Pierson. of Roseville. and
Sherwood, of New York, with 192.19 and
l !«:?.?. respectively. There are now twen
ty-nine with averages better than l^o. al
most twice as man;- as has been custom
ary -• past seasons.
This week's schedule cans for a. start
on Thursday night, when Elizabeth will
roll at Passaic. North End at Columbian
and Columbia at New York. On Friday
night Roseville ill go to Jersey City and
Newark Bay to Montclair.

GIANTS GET READY.
Eighteen More at Marlin and
"Fun" Starts To-day.
fßy Telegraph to Til Tribune.]
".-Marlin. : Tex.. Feb. Eighteen . am
bitioua -young and oldf.Giants swooped
down on Marlin this afternoon. The m en,
who arrived on a special tar from ; St.
.tibuis. were Mathewson,- Marquard. Buck,
Klawitter. Bell, Raymond and Parsons,
pitchers; Derbre, Sljaw, "Williams, Collins
and Eomniers, outfielders, and Wilson and
Curtis,, catchers. Accompanying- them were
Wilbur Robinson, onetime star of the Bal
timore.Orioles: Arlle Latham, the clown of
the diamond, and Ed McCall, the negro
trainer.
Manager McGraW missed his train art St.
"Louis and will not arrive here until to
morrow. He telegraphed Robinson to take
charge, and practice will begin at 0 o'clock
to-morrow morning. Robinson will have
to watch the manoeuvres from the bench,
however, as he sprained his ankle while
jumping from the train at Ilarrisburg.
P<rllTl.
Outside of Williams, the new outfielder,
who is a full blooded Oneiaa Indian.
"Bugs" Raymond attracted the most at
tention as he alighted from the train. In
fifteen minutes he had shaken hands with
everybody in the town. Several of his old
friends among the cowboys were at the
station to greet him. The people here have,
promised that they will not lead "Bugs"
into temptation. Williams is said to be a.
hard hitter, and his general bearing would
indicate si>eed on the bases.
It is evident from the men McGraw lias
selected that his plan is to strengthen the
outfield and the pitching staff at all costs.
All of the men he has signed for the out
field are hitters of reputation in the minor
leagues. Not any of the youngsters are in
fielders. .Spencer and Metz will both have
a try at first base. It is significant that
McGraw has signed no new catchers.
Curtis, who came to-day, has been with
the Giants in the spring for the last three
years, but has never had a real chance.
Now McGraw purposes to give him one.
MANY PAIRS ENTERED
Indoor Jmilv Tennis Fray to
Begin To-day.
[ndoor lawn tennis players were again
fortunate in the evenly balanced draw for
the national championship doubles, which
was made yesterday. Twenty-eight pairs
comprise the list of aspirants for the
honor which are now held by Theodore
Roosevelt Pell and Wylie C. Grant.
In the upper half the leading pairs are;
Miles S. Carlock and William B. Cragin,
jr.. of the Elizabeth Town and Country
Club, who for two years have, been run
ners up; Julio M. Steinacher and Royal P.
Bichey, and the regimental pair, composed
ol" Calhoun Cragin and Arthur S. Cragin.
The lower section attracts the greater
Interest because of the pair of C'alifor
nians, Carl R. Gardner and Gustave F.
Touchard. The two have formed a part
nership of the courts for the coming sea
son in the tournaments and champion
ships and the prediction is that they will
be prolific trophy winners. They are re
garded as practically sure to capture the
Indoor title. The Tale pair. F. M. Watrous
and Richard A. Holder,, Jr.; Wylie C. Grant
and Dr. William Rdsenbaum, and O. V.
Bostwick and William C. De Mille are the
other most formidable players in this half.
The draw was made. at the 7th Regi

Woman Plays on Board Used
by Chess Marvel.
Comparatively few chess boards are. now
in existence on which Paul Morphy. the re
markable Southern chess player, is known
to have played. One of these, the property
of Mrs. Harriet Worrall. of Brooklyn, and
on which she defeated the champion in. a
game at the odds of a rook, figured In the
simultaneous exhibition given by Albert B.
Hodges In the art room of the Brooklyn
Institute of Arts and Sciences in the
Academy of Music on Saturday night. Mrs.
Worrall was one of four women players
pitted against the expert, and, partnered by
Walter ETrere in a consultation game,
played an excellent game on the Morphy
relic. However, Hodges won that game
and seventeen others, losing only to L. D.
Rosowsky. of th<> Brooklyn Boys' High
School, and drawing with C. G. Nicholas,
of the Now York Chens Club.

WOMEN FIX DATES
FLAX EOVR TOURNEYS
W. M. G. A. Contest to Open
May I—Westerners1 — Westerners in Fold.
The : : Women's Metropolitan Golf Associa
tion has officially decided upon Hay £1 and
following days for Its annual championship
tournament, which will be held over the
links of the Montclair Golf Club. A glance
at the calendar shows this to be a happy
selection in that for once it does not clash
with the men's metropolitan meeting- Th«
fly in the ointment, however, la mat the
present choice on the part of the women
means a conflict with the New Jersey State
Golf Association's annual gathering, though
only for part of the week.
An active spring season lias been decided
upon by the energetic committee now in
charge of the Women's Metropolitan Golf
Association; additional proof being that
three one-day tournaments liav<. already
been planned. These one-day grathcrings,
open only to metropolitan women, will be
held at the EUchonmd County Country Club,
the Plainfield Country Club and the Green
wich Country Club.
Something new in women's metropolitan
circles will be attempted this year In the
way of an official handicap list. It will
serve as an aid to. clubs holding special
one. day or invitation tournaments and It
will also prove of assistance to the Eastern
body. The women's metropolitan list has
not been compiled as yet, but % it will prob
ably be ready by the end of the month or
early" in March.
There f? some uncertainty with regard
to the dates for the championship tourna
ment of the Woman's Eastern Golf Asso
ciation and the tri-city matches for th«
Gris-.-.im trophy. The course of the Hunt
ingdon Country t'lub will be the
scene of action for both events, v hlch ar<i
li^ld in conjunction, and .Monday and Tues
day. June 6 and 7. have been mentioned,
by the Women's Golf Association of Phil
adelphia, as satisfactory to that organiza
tion. An official of tbe metropolitan body
paid last night that this was not in ac
cordance -with the wishes of the players
around New Tork, and she believed tbe
Boston women would feel the same way.
The objection to the dyt^s mentioned Is
that the programme now calls for tho
Eastern championship to precede the team
matches, as in this way everybody gets s
chance to praotise over the course, and. in
cidentally, get in better condition for the
tri-city contests.
11l health has-: compelled Miss Louisa A.
Wf;i!s\ of Boston, to give up temporarily
her duties as secretary of the Eastern as
sociation, ai><l Miss Margaret Curtis has
been mined as li^r successor pro tern. The
Kastern tournament this year will consist
of Beventy-two holes of medal play, thirty
fix holes each day. This will be the first
time in the history of the organization
that seventy-two holes have been attempt
ed. Mrs- Wheeler, formerly Miss Mary
Adams-, is the title holder. An addition to
the metropolitan forces will be Mrs. Fowl
er, formerly Miss Mabel Jlie^in.-.
In view of the many belligerent and
warlike utterances that have from time to
time emanated from the pen of Crafts W.
TTi^gins. an article in the current number
of his publication, "The Golfers' Maga
zine," entitled "A Plea for Peace," will
come as a surprise for the average fol
lower of the game ISast and West. This
welcome February valentine will also
strengthen the position of those who have
all along insisted that Mr. irigghis has not
been trying to stir up an "insurrection."
Anyhow, his editorial in part is as fol
lows:
Now that th« golf atmosphere has been
cleared through the definite action of the
United States Golf Association It seems a
time titling and proper fur an analysis of
the situation as we now have it. Putting
aside ajiy opinions we may entertain as to
why such action on the part of the United
States Golf Association was taken or the
reason for such action on its part, we have
as an established fact, that action was taken
in a way to substantially improve the for
mer conditions and to make of the United
States Golf Association a much improved
body in that by its new and broader form
it Is possible of being a more nearly repre
sentative national governing body than it
ever ha-, been before
T think on th« whole that, we of th» Wet
have occasion to congratulate ourselves on
the notable victory won in New York.
While perhaps we may not have gained
everything for which we contended, still I
think we have secured all that we could
reasonably have hoped to get. It has also
been a moral victory of tarreaching im
portance—the "closer!"' door has been opened
wide and permanently.
The golf public has hoard so much of this
political discussion during the last few
years th-n T believe it now deserves and
should have a time of more peace and
quiet along th«>se lines. Then if such
changes cannot be worked as are necessary
to keep the West on a->> equality with the
expanded conditions, that is the time to
take th m up in a more forcible way, such
as was adopted by th" Western Golf Asso
ciation to secure concessions recently
granted.

TIMELY AUTO TOPIC
OLDFIELD TO DRfFK.
'ill Try for Record* at
Florida Speed Tourney.
Barney OldftWd. in the hi? Bam ->-- ?
car. i*' to race in th» Florida o*l - I
Paytonar beach speed tournament •>»»
March --. 23 and 24 Thi3 announcement
has been made by J<**!>e Froehllch, rnacast
lng director of the Benz Auto Import Com
pany. Oldfield will attempt to lower •'%
record of 2? 1-5 seconds for a mile, tr.ad*
by Marriott in a freak st-am-r on th*
famous sand course four year 3 ago. and.
judging from the time aaaa]a by — •-_,- •-,
the car on the Brookland3 track in Eng
land, there is every reason to believe that
Oldfi^ld will accomplish hi* pnrpog*.
According to Mr. Froehllch. {■'* concern
is not going to help Oldfleld in tan ex
pense of bringing the car to Florida or of
his stay there- The former says that £»
considers the beach course the fastest In
the world and the safest for at:toniottl^
racing. David I* Bruce-Brown, the ■will
known driver, will also go South and at
tempt to lower the record for three hun
dred m!!". 1 In a Benz car.
Simplification of the route symbols nt
the club was decided upon by the btire^n
of tours committee of the Automobile
Club of America at one of Its recent me«t
lngs, with the result that the hfero*rl:
representing "Bear right." "Bear left."
"Jog right and left." "Jog left and right."
"Cross bridge over railroad" and "Pas. 1 *
under railroad" hare been eliminated.
Where directions In route description r»
qulro the "Bear right". symbol, the "Cur*
right" symbol w ill be used; where dir«*«-
tion heretofore required the "Jog right ar.-i
left" symbol, the new description will
read, "Turn right and Immediately lefl "
Where "Through crossroads" ■wax ns»<i
the bow" description will read ' .S. O.,** for
straight on. The three grade cro3s:r.?
symbols heretofore used will now b3 uni
form, and where "Road crosses srldaai
over railroad" or "Passes under railroad."
the new route description will indicate
this fact with "Over" and "Under." fol
lowed by the railroad sign. The former
symbol indicating "Caution — Danger* was
a Maltese cross, but this has baa chans-l
to a triangle to avoid confusion with th*
"Cross trolley" symbol, and further •-»
make the symbol uniform with the plain
red triangles now placed on the Btatl
highways at danger points by the ?-'o-»
York State Highway Department.
This makes a very complete and dis
tinctive set of symbols for the club's ibbb]
descriptions, the use of which symbols en
ables the Incorporation of four times tlj*
number of routes in a single volume tiat
could be incorporated if no yymbols "*•:»
