ed the worlds 100 mile record to 1
hour minute and 40 2-5 seconds.
Next to the Stanley steamer, the zoe
horsepower Darracd made the best
showing in the meet. It scored a kilo-
metre In 10 2-5 seconds and mile In
30 8-5 seconds, which is the best rec
ord made by a gasoline car and dam
gerously near the steamers time.
A few years ago It was contended
by the prophets that as Americans are
a buggy riding nation, the runabout
would be ultimately the typical Ameri-
can automobile. Since then there has
been furor over big touring cars, i'm
ported and domestic. This, however,
has not caused CONSERVATION among
the prophets who contend that I'm a
country where individual wealth Is so
bounteously distributed there will be
always large, though limited field for
the highest priced vehicles and they
point to the fact that the runabout
types, though perhaps now less notice.
able on the road because less lonely,
have increased in numbers in equal
proportion.
The course Of events has led to a
change in the prediction, however,
whereby the medium powered car of
about 20-horse power is now classed
with the runabout as the prevailing
American types of the future. For
these classes the field is held to be un-
limited. The plans for this years out
put by the makers and the agency
orders seems to substantiate these
views.

MAY INVESTIGATE CHARGES
National Trottlng Association May
Take cognizance of Accusations
Against Smathers
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Characterizing
the Memphis gold cup case as the most
deplorable turf scandal he had ever
known and calculated to work untold
injury to harness racing interests
David Bonnar yesterday declared to
MAJOR 2. F. Johnson, president of the
National Trotting association, that he
deemed 1t the duty of that organiza-
tfon to investigate at once the charges
made against e. E. Smathers and
either mete out swift punishment to the
conspirators or brand the accusations
as false If found to be untrue.
Speaking with all the Vehemence at
his command the former vice president
OF the National Trotting association
added:
AS the guardian of harness racing.
the National Trotting association owes
1t to the sport to take cognizance of
the case without waiting for trial in
the civil courts, year or two hence.
which will punish nobody and perhaps
decide nothing except the legal title to
the cup.
In my opinion, Mr.. President, the
Importance Of the case demands a spe-
cial meeting of the board of review and
l hope you will call one as soon as the
parties to the case are ready to be
heard"
so far as l can judge of the case
from reading the newspapers, do not
see anything in 1t which requires the
decision Of either the courts or the
board of review" replied Major john
son. "The only evidence that has been
disclosed thus far is from two men
who are by their own confessions dis
credited.
Under the rule of the National as
sociation," continued Major Johnson,
every member and every one who
makes an entry in race agrees to sub
NIT all disputes arising out of races to
the judgment of this association and 1
am rather surprised that the Memphis
men have taken the case to the courts"

U. S. c. AND HIGH SCHOOL.
TO MEET ON TRACK
UNIVERSITY AND OCCIDENTAL
FAIL TO AGREE
Academies VIII Put on Strong Team
and Lively Contest Is Anticipated.
Dissatisfaction Manifested IT COL
lege

The track teams of the Los Angeles
high school and the University of
Southern California will meet WASH
ington's birthday for the first inter-
cinder event of the season.
The trouble between Pomona and
Occidental is doubtless responsible for
the arrangement made by U. s. c. and
the academies. The university had
hoped for meet with Occidental on
the holiday, but the Highanders have
waived all contests until the Chaplin
trouble has been settled one way or
another.
U. s. c. claims to be on neutral
ground but is anxious to do something
In the way of track work before base
ball season rolls around
In view of not coming to terms with
Occidental the Methodists are now pre-
pairing for battle with the high school
boys. The event should not be with
out interest because of the fact that
collegians do not occupy the entire
center Of the stage.
The local academic institution boasts
many fast men and strong. Among
the most promising are Donnell,
Youngs, Goodwin and Smith.
General dissatisfaction is expressed
at the turn which the collegiate ath-
letic situation has again assumed and
wonder is rampant that some settle
ment cannot be arrived at whereby the
petty squabbling and chickering's that
nave for so long been factor of ath-
letic life in Southern California may be
obliterated, in a measure at least.
The academic track meet held at
Prager park several years ago was one
OF the most successful outdoor events
in the history of Southern California
school life, and repetition Of the same
would in way be a pleasurable res
plte from the quarrels Of the colleges.

Special to The Herald.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 13.-Man-
ager James w. Coffroth has decided
that he will not take the trip to Lon
don that he had in mind for some days
but will stay in San Francisco and
attend to future fights.
1t Is now assured that the Neil-Tenny
match will be pulled off at Mechanics
pavilion under the management of
Coffroth. 1t was not known previous
to this announcement whether the bat
tie between the two bantams would be
run by the associated club, with Coff-
roth as the guiding spirit, or whether
Morris Levy, who made the match,
would bring 1t off at Woodwards.
1t would appear now that all is peace
among the members of the flight

Of affairs pugilistic for the present
year.
Neil ana Tenny are hard at work at
their training camps to get ready for
what is predicted to be a furious bat
tie, as there is a grudge to settle. as

says the champion has developed a
much harder punch than he ever
showed before.

REVISING TRoTTING RULES
Committee Suggests Many Changes to
Biennial Congress for Inn
proving Sport


NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The rules
committee of the National Trotting as
ISOLATION was in session here all day
yesterday, and when It makes it's report
to the biennial congress tomorrow
there will, it is said, be several changes
which will be of undoubted advantage
to the light harness horse interests.
The committee, with the exception of
one member, Horace Wilson of Lexing-
ton. KY, is new this year. Among the
members are William Russell Allen of
st. Louis, chairman; j. M. Thrall of
Allentown, Pa; j. M. Johnson of Cal
ais. N. c.; w. H. Carter Of Richmond.
Colonel Hough of Baltimore.
A new rule, which was, 1t is said, ia
vorably considered and which the N
T. A. has sanctioned, was the crea tion
of board of stewards in circuits made
up of not less than five tracks and not
more than twelve, who shall constitute
a governing body for the circuit by
which they are named, acting Jointly
for the tracks and the parent associa-
ton.
The stewards will be appointed by
the National Trotting associa ton and
their decisions shall be binding until
the close of racing on the circuit for
which they act The stewards will
act as an intermediary between the
tracks and board of review in cases
where offenses are committed against
said tracks.
Instead of appealing to the board OF
review, which may not meet for a long
time owners, drivers, trainers and
others who may be subjected to pun
ishment may appeal to the board of
stewards for a ruling.
Their decision, however, will not be
absolutely binding, for the case can
still be taken to the board of review
and the decision of the stewards may
be overruled.
The associations in the respective
circuits will submit names for stewards
to the National Trotting association
and from these a board Of five will be
appointed.
Another matter which the rules COM
mittee will ask the congress to adopt
will be the licensing of starting judges.
The work of many Of these officials
heretofore has been so unsatisfa ctory
and detrimental to sport that the Off
GERS of the N. T. A. are Of the opinion
that If starters are licensed and thus
placed under direct supervision of the
governing Organization. a good deal of
corruption perpetrated during the
progress of racing will be obliterated.
None but competent men will be ap-
pointed and it is believed that a meri-
torious performance at one track will
enable that starter to officiate at a
number of tracks by request of the
management.
