Banner Season
For Racing on
Gotham Tracks
Enthusiasm of Large Crowds
at Jamaica Augurs Well
for Record-Breakiug Year
By W. J. Macbeth
Metropolitan racing will be n hip1
"go" this year. There is nc doubt of
it. The enthusiasm manifested the
first three days of the spring meeting
of the Metropolitan Jockey Club at :
Jamaica presages a banner season.
From now on the class at competition j
should be better. And, with the better- |
nient the sport';; following is bound to
improve.
There is nothing of which to com- j
plain over the patronage lo date. More
people attended Jamaica the last three i
days o:' the past week than ever be
fore visited the track in a like upan i
eince the good old day.; of open bet?
ting. Upward of 20,000 were on hand
for Thursday's opening. Fully 15,000 !
were out Saturday. The weather both
?Says was not only disngreeably cold,
but threatening in the extreme when
the race trail left the cit;
So far the Metropolitan Jockey Club
has been confronted with serious dif- :
fioulties. The Pimlico meeting, wh? r?
richer prize money was to be had, eon
flicted with the openini ; ri, y_ here.
Many of the more pr . in? tit stables
and the best runners in other -tables
remained ti I tho close of the .Maryland
season. Some remained ??^ a matter
of choice; others because it was im?
possible to secure shipping accommo- i
da) ions.
Realizing the existing difficulties the
public has accepted the local opening j
programmes with good grace. The difli- [
culties should adjust themselves speed- j
ily. Whether or not the Pimlico horses j
will be shipped direct to Belmont Park, I
which will open its gates to the public
Thursday afternoon, the fact remain ;
that henceforth there should be enough |
pood performers to round out the racing
programme 5 in much better fashion.
To date there have been far too few
distance races, as distance races now ;
L-o. For three days the cards have been
topheavy with sprint races for thor?
oughbreds ?.'7' various ages. As a mat?
ter of ?'. ct of late years the American !
turf ha. ized too much in sprint?
ing. It would be a good idea to get'
back to the. competitions over a dis- |
lance. The Jockey Club made a move
in that direction last year. It should
? . I thi . h? me is carried out at all ;
the local tracks this season.
It is to be honed also that the stew?
ards of the Metropolitan track will .see
lit to ke? i the sport ?lean and honest.!
A good start has been made in this
direction. The game can be made just .
S3 big this season as the stewards cure j
to make it. Fearlessness in adminis?
tration, with short shrift for all of- j
fenders, should be the slogan.
The patrol judge, who promptly re?
ported Oleaster's foul on Flying Orb
in the third race Saturday, which re
sulted in prompt disqualification of the
offender, showed the proper spirit. In- :
itiative pays. The big holiday crowd
openly approved, because even Oleas
ter's supporters saw the foul and were
pleased to note that the officials had
the interests of the general public at '?
heart.
Improvement in the quality and
quantity of the racing fields is prom- i
.sed in to-day's entries for Jamaica, |
though, unfortunately, all save one of j
the events will be of the sprint variety.
The feature will be the fourth race,
the Newtown Stakes of $2,000, for three- |
year-olds and upward, at six furlongs.

Officers of U. S. N. L. T. A.
Issue a Warning Bulletin
Clubs, Players and Sport- !
ii?g Goods Houses No?
tified of Stand Taken
By Fred Hawthorne
Following reports from the "other
side" that the United States National ;
Lawn Tennis Association will prob-!
ably join 1 bo International Lawn
Tennis Federation this year, it becomes |
apparent that we must establish a
standard of amateurism that will stand
unchallenged before the world.
That steps ??re being taken in this
direction by President George Town
send Adee and his fellow officers of
the U. S. N. L. T. A. is indicated by
the action of the amateur rule commit?
tee, which is sending out to-day n bulle?
tin to all clubs in the association,
players known to bo employed by
sporting goods firms and to the firms
themselves.
Briefly, this bulletin summarizes the |
decisions of the governing body as to;
what rule of conduct is required of an |
amateur in tennis; how the rules shall
be interpreted and enforced, with gen?
eral remarks as to the increasing ten- j
? I f ri c y o\' players to overstep the boun
daries of real amateurism.
Three Points Emphasized
Here are the three things that ar:
amateur must and must not do. that1
the committee ?ays particular stress
upon :
"Any club or association which
pays directly or indirectly the ex?
penses, board or lodging of any
tennis player must send a detailed
memorandum of such expenditures
to Edwin F. Torrey, secretary of the '
United States National Lawn Tennis
Association, for the information of
the executive committee.
"Any player engaged in the sport?
ing goods business must send to
Secretary Torrey by June 1 in each i
year a statement covering his tennis
activities for the previous year, I
along these lines: Number of tourna- i
ments entered and time absent from !
business for such play; extent to ;
which the player has to do with !
sporting goods as compared with
other lines of goods handled for h?3 I
firm.
"Any player p'urposing to enter the
sporting goods business must before j
doing so send Secretary Torrey a !
statement of the .details of the pro- ;
posed employment."
In a letter sent to the sporting goods j
firms the committee states that it be- I
Heves that much of the popularity en-:
joyed by lawn tennis is due to its ?
recognized standing as an amateur ?
sport, and that the danger of breaking :
down these standards by the increasing :
tendency to employ prominent tennis !
players must be stopped. Any sugges?
tions from the firms will be welcome.
The clubs arc asked to supply the
committee with full details as to tho
payment of travelling expenses, board
and lodging to visiting players, and
this is done for the especial purpose of
determining whether nny players are
making a living out of the game in
such a manner.
As regards the individual players, '.
the committee's questionnaire will not
bear results until after December 1,
1910, since it has been decided to base
the reports on the players' conduct this j
season. On this point the committee's ?
letter to the players says: "The execu?
tive committee feels that, inasmuch as ?
1918 was a war year, during which '
every effort was made to raise money
for war purposes, it would not be fair i
to use that year as a basis of these re
ports."
President Adee in making public the
committee's action declared that it was ?
the duty of the association to develop j
the game of lawn tennis, to maintain
its amateur standards and ideals on the ?
highest plane and to enforce the rules
of the association, for which purposes
the amateur rule committee was ap?
pointed to take charge of this phase
of the game.
"The committee believes," said Mr. j
Adee, "that certain abuses have begun
to creep into tennis in this country I
and that these abuses, though small in j
themselves, are contagious, and if un- j
checked will tarnish this finest and
cleanest of sports. The feeling on the
part of some players that it is their
right to make a living out of tennis is
unquestionably growing. Tho number j
of players entering the sporting gootls |
business is increasing and there seems
to be an increasing tendency to disre?
gard the amateur rule of the associa?
tion. The committee is convinced that
for the future welfare of the game the
policy decided upon two years ago of
rigidly enforcing the amateur rule
should be carried out in order to pre?
serve the ideal of lawn tennis -'Sport
for sport's sake' -which has always ob?
tained in the past, and thus keep the
fair name of the association forever
clean and above reproach."
This is as it should be. If we are
to become a member of tho intorna
tiot.al federation it is well that we
come in with clean hands. Let It bo
said that our amateurs are second to
nono in all that-the ^vord "amateurism"
implies. Nothing less should satisfy
Two tournaments, the Quaker
Ridge championships in ?ingles and
doubles, on the courts of the New
Kochelle Tennis Club, and the annual
Essex County title tourney, on the
Essex County .Country Club's courttj,
at West Orange, N. J., will begin this
afternoon. No lints of entries have
been given out, but the success of the
llarlern Tennis Club's event last week
; seems sufficient assurance that both
i will draw many of the leading players
. from the metropolitan district.
Crescent A. C. Nine Wins
The Crescent Athletic Club won an
exciting game from Manhattan College
on the former's baseball field in Brook?
lyn yesterday by a score of 5 to 4. In
the sixth, the clubmen scored nil their
? live runs on four hits, two pusses and
two error?, Manhattan just failed to
'i even matters by scoring three runs in
the ninth. Robertson, the college
pitcher, passed eleven men during the
first five inning?, but escaped being
scored on. Turnuro struck out ten
Manhattan batters.

B1NGHAMTON, N. Y., May 18.?
Seven thousand fans saw the first Sun?
day baseball game of the year here
this afternoon and, incidentally, the
first home defeat of the season for
Frank Schulte's Cobblers.
Shea was in rare form and had the
Cobblers eating out of his hands at all
stages of the game. McCabc pitched
well at times, but he was wild in the
pinches and in the sixth inning his
support cracked. Newark won by 4
to 0.

Tom Hern?n Stars
in Yorkville Meet
Tom Hern?n, a newcomer, was the
largest point scorer in the monthly
games of tho Yorkville Catholic Club
?It the Queensboro Park playgrounds
yesterday. After winning the seventy
iive-yard handicap dash and running
high jump, he finished second in the
two-mile handicap run. Tom Lock
hardt, the track captain, also scored in
three contests.

From Bry Brothers; Her
and Crowley Are Victors
Long drawn out sets featured the
? play yesterday in the annual doubles
of the Harlem Tennis Club tourney.
The longest match was the one in
which E. Desnces and C. Schmidt van
quished Louis Bry and Edward Bry,
brothers, by a score of 7?9, 6?3,
15 13. In the third sot tho men bat- !
tied .-?long so fiercely that matters'
j went to deuce often before Desnoes
and Schmidt managed to launch a sus- :
tained attack that carried them to vie-;
tory.
However, Desnpes and Schmidt were ]
i eliminated from the tourney when they
fac? ?1 Alexander Her and Leon Crow?
ley in a third round match. The pre?
vious hard match played by Desnoes
and Schmidt had weakened them. Her
and Crowley showed good teamwork
throughout, Hartman contributing more
| than his share in collecting points. The
| score was ii _. 6 -. A similar score
I gave Her and Crowley :i victory over

Plasterers' Chief Here,
Seeks to Settle Strike
Threatens to Spread Trouble
to Other Cities Unless
Dispute Ends
Edward J. McGivem, international
president of the Plasterers' Union, ar?
rived in New York yesterday to take
charge of a strike of plasterers against
members of the Building Trades Em?
ployers' Association of New York.
About 1,200 men are now out in this
city. To-morrow the international
executive board of the union will meet
here to consider declaring a strike
against members of the association
throughout the country.
The New York strike began on April
1 on the refusal of the employers' as?
sociation to concede a rate of $7.50 a
day and the right of the union to dis?
cipline members who may be found
guilty of violating union rules. The
association offers $7.20 a day, effective <
June 1, but denies the right of the'
union to discipline members who may
be employed as foremen or in other
i xccutive capacities.
"We hope to settle the dispute with?
out declaring a strike on the jobs of
the New York contractors throughout
the country," said Mr. McGivem, "but
if we can't?well th'at it what the ex?
ecutive board is coming here for."
The strike develops the fact that the
Hotel Pennsylvania is yet unfinished.
Three iloors are unplastered, according
to Peter Cook, vice-president of the
union.
"The employers have been trying
for weeks to get men to work on this
building," said Mr. Cook. ,-To date they |
have obtained four."

Catholic Chaplains
Honored at Dinner
Catholic chaplains who served with
tho American forces abroad during the
war were guests of honor at a dinner
given by the St. Catherine Welfare
Association, at the Hotel Commodore \
last r.iglit. Nearly 500 persons at- !
tended. The speakers were Monsignor
.lohn P. Chidwick, Assistant District
Attorney Alexander J. Ilorke, the Rev.
P. E. lloey, J. A. C. Clarke and John
J. Byrne.
Monsignor Chidwick expressed the
lie lief that tho work of the Catholic
chaplains in the war ha ??overcome
former misunderstandings of their
faith. Miss Sarah MePike presided and
at her left was Mrs. Joyce Kilmer,
widow of one of the heroes of the
165th Regiment, who died in the
Argonne.
Among tho clergymen guests in ad?
dition to the chaplains were: Arch?
bishop Patrick J. Hayes, Monsignor

Transcontinental automobile touring
promises to be more brisk this year
than at any timo in the past five sea?
sons, according to the American Auto?
mobile Association, which arrives at
this point of view on nccount of the
numbers of inquiries being receivod
about routes for long trips. It is rec?
ommended that no such trips be at?
tempted until about the middle of June,
because, before that time, the prairie
roads will not have dried out thor?
oughly.
An electric passenger car will start
to-morrow to attempt to better the
record for cars of this sort between
New York and Atlantic City. Tho
standard for the 123% miles is six
hours, made two years ago by a Baker
R & L car, the same marque with
which to-morrow's attempt on the
record will be made. Tho car will be
driven by De Peyster Stagg and rec?
ords will be kept by Herbert Mould,
representing the Electric Vehicle As?
sociation of America. They will attend
the afternoon session to-morrow of the
convention of tho National Electric
Light Association at Atlantic City.
Reports of an intended combination
of largo automobile companies that
named Nash Motors among others to
be absorbed have impelled Charles W.
Nash to make this statement: "The
reports of a consolidation in tho motor
ear industry that includes the Na.".h
Motors Company aro not founded on
facts. There is no possibility of the
Nash Motors Company becoming a sub?
sidiary of any other company in tho
motor car industry.
"Like all other great industries, tho
automobile business is narrowing down
to a ?survival of the fittest. Day after
day there are mergers reported. I
have no criticism of this tendency, hut
I would like to have it definitely un?
derstood that nothing could induce tho
Nash Motors Company to enter into a
merger. Should it becomo advisable
or expedient, we would go into the field
for other plants, but in that event the
resulting expansion would be under tho
control of the Nash Motors Company."
The new car that Benjamin Briscoo
is interested in will bo built in France,
of American design, and mainly of
American parts.
Lon R. Smith has resigned as sales
manager of the Buda Company, of
Harvey, III., to become general sales
and advertising manager of the Mid?
west Engine Company, of Indianapolis.
He atart3 on his new job June 1.
E. S. Partridge, president of E. S.
Patridge & Co., representing the
Liberty and Owen Magnotic cars, has
just returned from a four-day trip
through Connecticut, accompanied by
Walter A. Ramsay, manager of tho
wholesale department. They learned
from the dealers interviewed that
there is a largo unfilled demand for
tho cars and that buying conditions
ere still brisk throughout tho terri?
tory.
?Labor Party
To Be Fought
By A. F. of L.
?Members Belong to Trade
Unions as Workers, Vote
as American Citizens,
Executive Council Argues
? Right to Drink Demanded
Annual Report, Now Nearly
Ready, Will Insist on Re?
turn of Beer and Wines
The executive council of the Ameri?
can Federation of Labor, which was in
session at the Hotel Continental all
last week preparing: for the annual con?
vention in Atlantic City June 9, prob?
ably will conclude its sessions this aft?
ernoon. Few matters remained to be
disposed of yesterday. Secretary
Frank Morrison is hopeful that the
annual report will be in the hands of
the printers in a few days.
The report will deal with more mat?
ters of a controversial nature than any
in recent years. Among matters it will
cover, in addition to the usual num?
ber of jurisdictional disputes between
subsidiary unions, are the peace
treaty, prohibition, health insurance,
the proposed labor party and the plan
of the radicals to reform the federa?
tion by substituting twelve industrial
unions for the 112 trade unions now
making up the membership.
It also is expected that the Mooney
ease and the annual controversy over
the United Hebrew Trades of this city
will also come up before the conven?
tion, as well as the matter of the White
Rats, the organization of vaudeville
actors which for years has been a bone
of contention.
The report of the council, it is un?
derstood, will declare against compul?
sory health insurance. The position is
taken that as now planned it provides
for a governmental supervision and
control of the workers, which from a
union standpoint is not desirable, and
that it interferes with tho personal
liberty of the individual and the unions
in matters that should be freo from
government supervision. With the
braod principle of health insurance
there is no quarrel.
On prohibition the council will take
the position that the right of the
worker to his beer must not bo inter?
fered with. No brief is held for the
distillers or for hard liquors, but the
argument for light wines and beers is
sustained.
In line with the historical position of
tho federation in opposing labor's par?
ticipation in politics as a labor party
the council will take strong grounds
against the proposed American labor
party to be formed on the lines of the
British Labor party. It is the conten?
tion of the council that the American
; workman belongs to a trade union as a
! worker, but goes to the polls as an
i American citizen, and that the forma
; tion of a labor party is neither desir
| able from the standpoint of unionism
nor the welfare cf the body politic.
By maintaining a stand aloof from
all parties, but in a position to compel
recognition from both, labor, it is
contended, will be better able to ob?
tain recognition of its demands than
by tho formation of an independent
party.
On this matter it is expected that
the so-called radicals will line up solid?
ly, as they will on the proposal of the
?Seattle Trades and Labor Council to
reconstruct tho federation on indus?
trial rather that, on trade lines, and
on the proposal of the Mooney Defence
League for a general strike to force
the freedom o? Thomas J. Mooney and
Warren Billings.
On the Seattle plan the council is a
! unit in opposition. So far as it will
? refer to Mooney it is anticipated that
! it will refuse to approve the general
| strike proposition, at the same time re
i iterating its belief that Mooney and
Billings are In all honesty entitled to
another trial. Tho question of the in?
nocence or guilt of either man is not
expected to ligure in this, tho council
standing on the record as showing
unfairness and error.
The convention will open on June 9
and last two weeks. As in other years
it is expected some contests may be
waged on national officers. None is
looked for against the reelection of Mr.
Gompers as president, nor is it ex?
pected that Frank Morrison, the sec?
retary, who in other years has been a
centre of attack, will have a fight this
year.
