it Deems that If u. little more of the spirit

It ought to lia possible In a game like
golf, that It played always by gentlemen,
and which to supposed at least to bo de

i-ertain broad and general regulations, and
allow technlcalltlea to be adjusted by

bv the ilii-ectota of the American Antonio
bile iKsociatlon a month ago to consider
the future policy '( the national organiza
tion on this important matter held I's firFt
m.-. ting lire with only two absentee.
The committee did not take the radical
step of abolishing track contesls. believing
that to n certain extent such event are
n.eiHsaiy, at the present time for the de
velopment of the industry, tint ptoposed
such changes to the sanction-giving power
that will inean a mut'-rlal reduction In the
number of such events, while at the same
time safeguarding them to the greatest
possible extent.
Mnxt Important of these changes arc that
no sanction nhall be granted for any track
meet except to n club or organization
ufflllated with the American Automobile
association: that such sppliention shall he
uccnnipnnled by a photograph of the track
turns and a certificate stating that every
detail of the track and grounds has been
(arefully exnmined. The -American Auto
mobile association will then appoint a
referee, who shall pass upon the fitness
not only of the track but of the competing
racers and driver. He will have power
to refuse drivers to compete who are
known as reckless drivers.
That n strong sentiment against track
racing exists throughout the country was
Indicated by the result of the dub vote
asked for on this question. President
llotchklsfi announced that of thirty-three
clubs .voting twenty-seven were against
the granting of any track sanctions. Three
were In favor of holding races under Cer
tain restrictions, while only three voted
for tock racing unreservedly. Three art
.hilonal (liihs sent the opinion of their
s. crotark-s against truck events. There Is
no doubt that the recommendations of the
committee will be adopted.
LONGBOAT NOT UP TO THE RUN
Indian HreHL Don n la an Attempt nt
l-'orty-Flvc Mllea.
NKW YORK. Nov. 9. 1 lie long distance
runners of the Metropolitan section of the
Amateur Athletic union have been dis
cussing the show Ing that Tom longboat,
the Indian runner of Canada, marie in bis
attempt to run the forty-five miles be
tween Hamilton and Toronto recently. To
tho minds of most of the local runners the
result proved that the red mun Is not to
be counted upon for a distance much In
excess of twenty-five miles, the length of
tho Boston Marathon race, which ha won,
for utter running thirty-one mile Long
bout collapsed. He was carried about a
nillo In the automobile which followed him,
and then got out to run again, only to
break down for the. second time when
within hulf a mile of the finish. Longboat
completed tho first eight and three-quarter
miles In fifty-six minutes and tho first
twenfy-tiigti. inrt three-quarter miles . In
three minutes less than four hours. This
wus as good M any time that has been
made for the distance under the same
conditions, with rough, billy roads, but it
appeals to mark tho Indian's limit.
Certainly It shows that he cannot be
classed with Albert Corey, the Chicago
runner, who. two weeks ago. ran tho WO
miles between Milwaukee and Chicago in
eighteen hours and thirty-three minutes.
Corey had p-iceiiiakera. it Is true, while
Longboat hud to run unusslnted, but that
does not alter the fact that the Cliicagxian
oppears to have the more endurance.
The prise for wliich Longboat ran was
a handsome silver cup offered by a Toronto
hotel keeper, whose intention it is to
present a similar cup to any one breaking
the Indian'! mark for the distance. The
attempt at the record is open to all ama
teurs, but a month's notice of any at
tempt must be given to the. trustees of the
rups ,and this body may refuse to sanc
tion any attempt upon their own authority.
BIO LEAGUERS IN MUCH DANGER
Forbidden to I'lay with roast Oet-
lairs. They Still Persist.
NEW YORK. Nov. 9. According to the
ukase of the supreme court of base ball.
Hal Chase, George Motlarty, Btrlcklett,
Sam Mertea and, Jimmy YYhalen now be
long to as daring a gang of outlaws as
ever rode in and shot up a law-abiding
and peace-loving diamond.
-'iiuse, luorianty et al. are picking up
winter spending money by playing star
rolea' on the diamonds of the California
Stale league, which Is a moonshine or
ganisation opposed to the lawful and re
spected Coast league. It glories In its out
lawry. Bo great was the howl from the
Coabt leaguers when the little gang Im
ported great slurs from the American and
Nutlonal leugues thut the National com
mission had to step In and show its
teeth.
An edict sent out of the office of Garry
Herrmann declares the California State
league an enemy to organized base ball and
says thut any big league player who helps
it along by participating in the games
will be fined SIM and stand In danger of
being blacklisted. The Imported landlta
went right ahead and now they are In a
bad fix.
Local base ball men say that Chase,
Moriarity and others have no right to en
gage in such a business aside from Its
being the act of outlaws. As they draw
Isrgu salaries from the big league club
It Is argued that they have no right to
stftn a second contract and take the
chances of being so injured that they can
not report for duty next spring.
