GLASS A LEAGUES
WORRY MAGNATES
Baseball Pact to Break Up Sand
bagging Methods of Ameri-
can League.

Edward Hanon, in Chicago last week, was a
party to the signing of the class A league COM
bine to protect themselves from the present
rafting rules. He says he does not think
the national agreement will be broken, but sup
posing the American league still refuses to join
the National in righting this injustice, what
would then happen If break should come.
Every class A league club would aim to
strengthen its team; where would they look for
the material - asks Mr.. Hanlon.
Would it be In the smaller leagues which are
now open to them: No. 1t would be In the
ranks of the major leagues. They would pursue
the policy which TIE American league has pur-
sued and would offer to such players in the ma or
league they wish to salaries bigger than those
men now getting.
"A good business could be done in the contract
line after or two players had left ma ol
league club. Contracts with offers Of big salaries
would bring price from the player getting 1t. II
would he an awful big stick--a powerful lever
in securing the price he might demand from the
ma jor league club he was playing 1t would
be great thing for the ball players Of merit.
1T would. of course. disOrganize matters, bu
the class y leagues are now purely at the mercy
of the major leagues and do not own what they
have made and what they have. Their possession
of their property only lasts long it l:
not desired by the major leagues. When they dt
desire it, the class A leagues must stand ant

AUTOMOBILING

The Automobile club of France has taken
what may be considered its final action in re-
gard to the international road this year,
and as result the Bennett cup will take its
rightful place us the blue-ribbon event of the
year In auto = circles. The club has decided
to abandon the proposed Grand Pix de L'Auto-
gles toward making the Bennett race a sue
cess.
With this object in view. the eliminating
and valuable prizes probably will be offered
for the machines finishing in first, second and
third places. Originally thirty-eight cars We're
entered for the Bennett race, and with no
other big event to engage attention, it is likely
that all these will be entered for the trials.
They will thus take Importance nearly
equal to that Of the cup race itself
The French club, in deciding to hold the Grand
Prix next year. thought it best to give its
patronage to only one big road race in a sea
son. Just what effect this win have on the
Bennett cup event. in case, the prize Is again
won by a French car. is hard to foresee.

Senator Hale explained that the judi
ciary committee had held that no con
structive recess had existed and the
senate had accepted the report Of the
committee. The extraordinary and reg
ular sessions had merged, just as one
to succeed another, and he believed no
senator could claim that he had ex.
pended a dollar in travelling expenses

hoped the senate would approve the
action of the committee in striking out
the amendment. -

resentatives have already been paid one

they for trips they never took. The

What 1t Means.

In view of the talk about two mites.in
a minute, and the race on the program
of the OrmOnd-Daytona tournament,
which requires that speed before the
prize is awarded, it may be mentioned
that such a pace means one hundred
and seventy-six feet a second, or from
New York to Chicago in little over
eight hours, as against the fastest train
time of eighteen hours. Nevertheless,
it is not improbable that the speed will
be supplied on the wavewashed speed
way of sand, as at least dozen ears are
being built especially for the tOurna-
ment, with one hundred and twenty
miles an hour speed as the main object.
Last year the best mile was made by h.
L. Bowden with an eight-cylinder one
hundred and twenty horsepower Mer-
cedes that was overweight, so the record
could not be allowed. His time was
81 As seconds. Mr.. Bowden has now
