AUTOMOBILE CLUB GAINS
RAPIDLY IN MEMBERSHIP
Many Join Because of Interest in the
Betterment of the Public
Roads.


The membership of the Automobile
Club Of California is increasing by
leaps and bounds. On January IL there
were 225 members on the roll, while
on the 1st of this month the club had
$50 members. BY no means all Of
these are owners of automobiles many
of them having joined the club from
sympathy with the work it is doing for
the betterment of the roads.
The recent annual dinner Of the club
served the valuable purpose of bring
ing the Supervisors of San Francisco
of Santa Clara and Santa Cruz coun-
ties and other public officials into pleas
ant contact with the officers and lead
ing members of the Automobile Club.
AS a result Of the meeting the chances
of getting the mountain road from San
Jose to Santa Cruz opened to motor
lists have frightened greatly. The only
serious opponent to the arrangement is
one Of the Santa Clara County Super
visors, who is acting according to the
wishes of the people he represents. 1t
is probable, however, that the offer of
the club to make some repairs on the
part of the road will bring an amicable
arrangement much nearer. The most
energetic worker to this end has been
c. C. Moore, one of the members of the
executive committee of the Automobile
Club. He has taken Supervisors out
in his motor car and has shown them
that the automobile is not the danger
Gus machine it is often supposed to
be and that the automobilist is a man
and a brother who cherishes no mur-
derous instincts, but is an admirer of
pretty country roads and fine scenery.

Racing Measure in the Senate.

SACRAMENTO, March 3.-A fight
will be started by Assemblyman Espey
tomorrow to secure some action on
the part of the Senate Committee on
Public Morals on his -poolselling
bill. which has already passed the
lower house. 1t is asserted that an ef-
fort is being made to kill the bill in
the Senate Committee. A spirited fight
is probable when the effort is made to
recall the bill from committee. Lukens
OF Alameda and Hahn Of Los Angeles
will make the fight to recall the meas
ure. Leavitt of Alameda will lead the
fight against such action.

Three New Marks Are Es-
tablished in the Academ-

LICK BOYS ARE BEST
Carry Off the Highest Hon
ors With the PoIytech-
mics i'll the Second. Place

The swimmers Of the Academic Ath-
letic League held their annual cham
piOnships in the Olympic Club tank
last night before a large number OF
spectators. The main floor and both
balconies of the clubhouse were
crowded to their capacity by the stu
dents OF the various schools and by
their fair friends.
Three new academic records were es-
tablished, one being broken twice dur
ing the evening. George Bromley u
Lick School covered the 100 Yards in
1:09. The former record of 1:O9 Is was
held by w. F. C. Bainfield. j. Laine of
Lowell won the first heat of the quar-
ter mile in 1906. The former record of
1:15 20 was held by j. Walker In the
second heat Fl. Mckenzie of PQlytech-
mic reduced the record TO 7.02.
In the 22O-yaTd race George Bromley
of Lick won in 3:OS1z. The former rec
ord was 3:1S 3-5. and was held BY w. E.
c. Bainfield.
The greatest interest centered in the
220-yard race. as in this the Lick
School secured lead which ultimately
gave it the championship.
The swimmers representing the Lick
School scored total of Il points: Poly
technic. II; Wilmerding s: Lowell. 9.

clever exhibition of swimming. In one
part he initiated a novice and could
not quite reach the rail. A friendly
bystander gave him a helping hand
and was dragged into the tank fully
clothed. There seemed danger Of a
personal encounter for a moment. and
then the spectators saw II vas Alex

MACNATES WILL
TALK BUSINESS
Clark Griffith and 1Tip"
O'Neill Meet President
Bert in Council To-Day

Two important figures in the world
of baseball, Clark Griffith. manager
of the famous New York Highlanders,
and Tip O'Neill, president Of the West
ern League, will arrive in this city to-
President Bert of the Pacific Coast
League in regard to certain drafting
privileges. The big Eastern magnates
are not yet satisfied with the situation
and have sent Griffith and ONeill here
to look after the matter.
The class to which the Pacific Coast
League belongs is still in doubt. At
the recent meet of the baseball powers
1t was placed in the AA class, with the
Eastern and American Association
layouts. The coast magnates are not
yet satisfied with the situation and
would like to see the drafting price
higher and also see their league placed
in class by itself or next to the major
bodies.
Griffith and O'Neill will probably
confer with President Bert to-day re-
garding the matter and some change
or agreement may be reached on the
much disputed drafting question Uncle
Henry Harris said last night he knew
nothing of the mission Of the delegates
nor was he invited to attend any con-
ference.
While here Griffith will probably do
some missionary work in Los Angeles
and he may escort Chase and Newton
back with him. These men he drafted
some months ago, but Morley objected
and the matter Is not entirely patched
up. Griffith will have quiet talk with
the southern magnate and will try to
persuade him to part with his stars.

RALSION BILL
IS IN DOUBT
Delegation of Sports From
This City Leaves Capital
DoWnhearted and Gloomy
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, March 3.-The lob
by that came from the bay to oppose
the anti-prize fight bill has faded
about the measure 1t is said Harry
Corbett and Eddie Graney, who led the
delegation Of sports, counseled their re-
turn to-day, as there were some in the
bunch whose presence would tend more
to the passage Of such measure than
to it's defeat. The last ones on the
scene were James Edward Britt and
his father, James E. Britt ST., who has
come into prominence through his pa
rental position. They stayed over sim
ply to watch the grinding of the wheels
of legislation as interested citizens,
they said.
The favor in which the bill was held
yesterday by the San Francisco dele
cation seems to have disappeared to-
day and opposition of a pronounced
order has taken Its place. The San
Francisco Assemblymen are tonight
ready to beat the bill.
It Is the Amerige bill that will be
voted on by the Assembly. It had been
read the third time and was ready for
final passage when the Ralston bill
Wd5 pdSSta ny tHo Oendte ana Will be
substituted for the latter.
Amerige can call the bill UP when
ever he wishes to under a special rule
giving each member the right in turn
to call up one bill from any part of the
file each day. He seems to be in no
hurry. and has the advantage of being
able to muster the friends of the
measure on the day he is to can it.
Those who are interested in beating it
are paying close attention to duty.
fearing Amerige will have it put on
final passage at a time when some of
them are absent. 1t is likely the bill
will be called up tomorrow afternoon
by its author and the final vote taken.

Its supporters are mostly among the
interior members, and they do not go
home on Saturdays.
II have enough votes now to carry
the BILL" said Amerige tonight, land
I am only counting on one from San
Francisco, though I should be pleased
to have all the gentlemen from the
bay vote for it, There were three or
four votes half pledged to the meas
ure that are against it since the lobby
came up, but have a clear majority
left ] think the measure has gained
some support through the coming of
the fight promoters, as we'll as losing
some. There are at least forty five
votes for it now"
The opposition expresses the same
confidence that the bill will be defeat
ed. All are waiting for the final test.

For a colt with his reputation the
