BIG YEAR FOR AUTOS.
Coming Season to Be Most Successful
in History of Motoring

The year 1906 should be the banner one
Of automobile racing in the United States.
Before the Ormond-Daytona races next
year 1t is expected that all or nearly all
of the speed-frenzied owners Of surplus
thousands now in the auto racing game
will have either disposed Of the cars they
own and which proved more or less dis
appointing last month on the Florida beach
course, or will have made extensive altera-
tons which will result in greater speed.
1t is now generally admitted that the men
in control of this years racing at Ormond
and Daytona were not experts. That the
handling of races of such Importance was
beyond them is conceded by all who be-
came discouraged at the delays which oc-
CURED time and again.
The feeling of dissatisfaction which mani
Tested itself early, owing to the manner In
which the races were handled. or rather
were not handled, resulted in the organiZa-
ton of a new association to control racing
in Florida in the future. This asSociat ton
must be recognized by the American Auto
mobile Association before its races will be
sanctioned, but with men like III. M. Flag
Ter back of 1t this recognition should not
be long in forthcoming.
The new association has placed the man
agement of its races in the hands of w. J.
Morgan, Familiarity known as Senator"
whose long experience with the bicycle and
automobile racing game has given him the
ness basis and with general satisfaction.
In addition to running the 1906 races in
Florida, Senator Morgan will be general
manager of the new five-mile track to be
constructed next year near Barnegat Bay.
twelve miles south Of Lakewood, N. J.
This track, if 1t comes up to the hope of
the promoters, should be the fastest in the
world. 1t is proposed to build it of approx
imately triangular form. 100 feet wide, with
a mile straightaway, where the flyers can
go after mile records
Opposite the mile stretch a grand stand
with capacity for 10000 will be built On
the bay club house will be erected and a
landing provided where boats drawing not
more than eight feet Of water can land
passengers.
Good roads exist from both New York and
Philadelphia, and two railroads running
close to the site will probably build spurs
to take care of the passenger business.
A tract of land 1000 acres in extent has
been secured and an additional 1900 acres
will be leased to be used as a game pre-
serve for members OF the association, the
district being considered a fine one for
shooting. The fishing in the vicinity is also
said to be good, and ParLegat Bay fur
nishes an ideal plao 70 for auto-boat races.
If the present plans are carried out the
first speed carnival will be held during the
summer of 1906.

BASE BALL IN CUBA.
Crowds Excitable and the Umpire is
Supreme.

A ball player who has just returned from
Cuba says of the game as played there:
From ten to twelve thousand persons turn
out twice a week to see the games there.
The Cubans are eXcitable and pandemo-
MUM breaks loose whenever the rooters
have chance to exercise their lung power.
Their league Is composed of three clubs.
Havana. San Francisco and Almendares,
and about two games a week are played.
All the games are played in Havana, and
the grounds are larger than the Polo
Grounds. A hit that gets past fielder Is
good for a home run. One peculiar thing
is that the umpire has absolute control of
the situation. and not even the captain Is
allowed to raise a rumpus over close de-
cisfon. This is a good thing, for. as bet
ting Is done on every conceivable play,
there would be riots if kicking was allow
ed. Mounted police, well armed preserve
order on the field. The teams come on the
field with banners waving, and carrier pig
cons, with colored ribbons attached to their
legs, are released between innings. There
are some pretty shifty players among the
natives, but they do not, as rule, class
with the American ball tossers."

TRIPLE PLAYS RARE.
Harry o'Hagan's Memorable Feat at
Newark

A triple play is one Of the rare things
in base ball, because it requires cons
bination of circumstances which seld
occur. There must be at least two men
on the bases and no one out. Then the
next batter must hit the ball in a certain
way, Or the chance for a triple is lostA In
addition to this, the fielding must be Aer-
feet and fast. But two triple plays, ms de
by one man unassisted, have ever BEEN
recorded. One was the famous play of
Paul Hines way back in the early sos.
The other Is fresh in the mind, although
it was made in a minor league.
In 1901 Harry OHagan was playing
first base for Columbus, in the Western
association. Tin canned. he went east to
Newark, and the day after he donned a
New Jersey uniform he pulled off the
play that made him famous. With men
on first and second, and, of course, no.
body out, OHagan was playing close to
the bag, when the next batter hit liner
directly into his hands. The force of the
ball was enough to knock him back SO
that his foot touched the first sack, retir-
ing the runner, who was off the base.
O'Hagan, turning to throw to second, saw
that the runner there had started at the
crack Of the bat and was nearly to third.
So, instead of throwing the ball, he
sprinted to second base with it in his
hand. arriving in time to Put the third
man out on the play.
Last season the Kansas City club of the
American Association made two triple
plays in one game at Toledo.

GREAT PITCHING CORPS.
Newton Added to New York's Formi-
dable Twirling Crew.

doc" Newton, the well-known left
handed pitcher, has signed contract
with the New York Americans this year.
Newton has been pitching remarkable
ball on the Pacific coast ever since he left
Edward Hanlon's Brooklyn team. three
years ago. He is big. powerful fellow,
who likes plenty Of hard work. His speed
is his principal stock in trade, but he can
mix it up with an assortment OF curves
and slow boys that would make any box
man enyious Manager Griffith drafted
Newton from the Los Angeles Club, to-
gether with First Baseman Chase, and
the left-hander sent on his terms some
time ago. Newton will come east at once,
but Chase will not report until some time
later. In securing Newton, Manager Grif-
fifth has strengthened his already formi-
dable pitching corps in an unmistakable
manner. He has another promising left
handler in Pullman. with the veteran
right-handers ChesbrO, Ortiz and Powell
to fall back upon. and ClarksOn factor,
too, with Griffith himself ready to take
turn in the box now and then when Oc-
casion requires it. With such an array OF
pitching talent at his command, Griffith
can begin the American League season
with more confidence than ever before.
In fact, no major league ball team in the
country has such remarkable STAN OF
twirlerS Good pitchers make winning ball
teams. This has been demonstrated time
that reason Griffith has never let a chance
to secure a flrst-class pitcher go by. He
has picked up several youngsters and
will try them out in the south, always
having in mind that the stars Of the dia-
mond come from Obscurity.

Berea College Fined for Co. Education.

dispatch from Richmond, KY, saws:
Berea College was fined $1,000 in the state
circuit court yesterday for violation Of
the Day act. This is the law passed by the
general assembly Of Kentucky at its last
session prohibiting the so-education of
the white and colored races. While the
law is general in form, it was aimed di-
rectly at Berea College. which has for fifty
years conducted a school and college for
the education of all youths of good moral
character. When the law was passed the
college authorities at once declared their
intention to abide by it's provisions pend
ing a decision as to its constitutfonality.
In order to raise the question, a technical
violation of the act was committed, and
on such violation. by consent. the college.
as corporation, was indicted. The col
1ege demurred to the Indictment, and the
question Of constitutionality was thus
raised. Briefs were filed by both sides, and
yesterday Judge Benton overruled the de-
murrer and held the law constitutional.
The conviction and fine followed. as the
college made no defense as to the facts.
The case will go at once to the court OF
appeals of Kentucky, and should that court
uphold the decision rendered yesterday
and declare the law constitutional the
case will be taken to the Supreme Court
of the United States.
