AUTO RAGING RULES

Just after the meeting OF the new auto
mobile racing board will no doubt be
given out to the public the bulletin OF
the conditions and date OF closing of the
entries for the trials for the American
team in the Vanderbilt cup race The
composition of the new board and the as

who win places on the team in the trial
race will be given them win have much
to do with the number OF the entries

DONLlN SINCERE IN THREAT

That Mike Donlin was not bluffing when
he said he had determined TO leave the
New York baseball team was evidenced
yesterday at Williamsport when Manager
James Sebring. OF the local tri-state club
gave out facts regarding negotiations
which were opened when Donlin had trou-
BILE with McGraw I'm Memphis. Donlin
asked Sebring for an offer for himself and
Gilbert, and Sebring said $500 month for
Donlin and $500 for Gilbert. Donlin wired
his acceptance and asked when he and
Gilbert were to report and where Last
night Donlin telegraphed that he would
remain with the Giants.
