AUToMoBILLNG.

The meeting OF the racing board Of the Amer
ican Automobile Association to-day promises to
be an important one This board also acts as
the Vanderbilt Cup commission and in all prob
ability some changes are likely to be made in
the conditions of that race, which is the blue
ribbon fixture Of the season in automobile cir
cles. The protest from the Automobile Club OF
Great Britain and Ireland, in the matter Of the
records made on the Florida Beach last winter
must also be considered. although. as already
indicated in The Tribune. nothing can be done
beyond putting further safeguards about racing
so that there can be no evasion of the strict let
ter of the rules in the future The officials Of
the Florida meet may have been remiss in not
carefully examining every car to see that it full
filed all the requirements of the conditions but
the persons who had a protest to make were
also remss in not filing the same. as provided
under the rules instead of waiting until this late
day. There Is absolutely no excuse for not be-
ing familiar with all the rules If one is 70 take
part in a competition and it only causes i'll feel
ing to rake up old scores that cannot be rec
titled.
It is gratifying to note that the Automobile
Club Of America has offered $1,000 to the Ameri-
can Automobile Association to aid in the work
Of placing signs along the highways for the
benefit of tourists All the main roads should
be marked at intervals. not only with direction
signs. but with signs indicating dangerous cross
ings or grades or sharp turns where it is nee
essary TO reduce the speed. Many accidents
could thus be averted Much has already been
done along this line, and it is hoped that the
good work viii be carried along its COM
pletion.
1t is not easy to forecast what will come of
the many automobile bills which have been in
trOduced at Albany this year. 1t begins to look
as If there would be legislation along this
line, and that the old law would hold over for
another year. This is the opinion of a number
of autOmObsts who have made a closer study
OF the situation. There are others who are con-
fdent that the Stanley bill will be reported with
some amendments. and that il will be passed by
both houses and signed by the Governor. There
is urgent need for some law that can and will
be enforced, and It seems pity that the warning
factions cannot get together and agree on a
compromise measure that would accomplish the
desired purpose.

there is remarkable absence OF junior eight cared

SPORTING COMMENT.
Nezcs and ViezcS on Current Topics,
amateur and Professional.

There viii be plenty to amuse and entertain in
sporting circles this week. with the opening or
the professional league baseball season and the
big International billiard match as the star at
fractions Previous to the opening of the league
season on Thursday there will be number OF
exhibition games in which the one to-day be-
tween the Giants and Providence viii arouse
more than usual interest. All the college teams
have two or more games scheduled also. while
those interested in golf lacrosse and association
football will have no cause for complaint. In
point of fact the outdoor season will be fairly
started and. fhe long closed season is over. The
most important happening last week was the
winning OF the national court tennis champion
ship by Jay Gould This young player, who is
still in his teens, well deserved the honors He
not only beat Charles r. Sands. the old title
holder in straight sets, but did so in way TO
leave no question of his skill at one of the most
difficult of all games. The opening of the local
baseball season and the selection of the lawn
tennis team to represent this country In the in
ternational matches for the Dwight F. Davis
Cup were other matters of interest

rHoRorGHRRFD RACING.

One week from to-day the bugle will call the
horses to the post for the first race at Aqueduct
and the opening of the local racing season. 1t is
not long TO wait. Never before has the outlook
been so bright for a successful meeting at the
Queens County Jockey Clubs track, and with
bright warm day the inclosure will be all too
small to accommodate the crowd which will turn
out to see the Carter Handicap and five other
races decided. The course is even now in condi-
ton Tor racing and the final touches viii be
added this week The sport at Bennings last
week was quite up TO the average Of what could
be expected so early in the year. The horses are
lacking IN class, and condition rather than speed
has played an important part in winning. For
all this. form has been fairly we'll sustained and
the favorites have earned their share or the
spoils. There were one or two reversals that
aroused some talk and gave the stewards some
thing TO think about, but they were not Of a kind
to cause more than passing comment. L was
gratifying however. TO notice that the stewards
were wide awake and disposed to ask questions
when things did not go TO their enire satisfac-
AGion. It is earnest Of what can be looked Ior
all through the season. A certain amount OF ac-
Civity IN the stewards stand is for the best. 1t
satisfies those who are ever ready 10 cry FRAUD.
when the horses do not always run ike the ma
chimes that some seem to think they are. There
- q happy medium between star cnttIlDeI IIletn-
DDS and blatant publicity, which the stewards
would do well TO effect. The constant airing or
petty scandals is not wholesome, and those who
control the destinies of racing show wisdom in
working as quietly as possible in unearthing
them This does not preclude, however. wide
awake and watchful air, which inspires conf
dence among racegOerS. while serving as moral
force to these who might be disposed 10 take
some unfair advantage IL the impression grew
that the stewards were in any way lax. It has
been proved time and time again in the last few
years that the stewards We're ever watchful and
working with the single purpose TO keep the
sport clean and above reproach. The trouble IS
that certain persons do not seem to appreciate
this, and that IS the reason why a little more
activity would accomplish much

BILLIARDS.

Willie Hoppe has made many friends by set
Ting his grievances with the billiard company
and agreeing to play in the big international
tournament which begins to-day. He would
have lost many friends II he had held to his orig
inal decision and refused to take part, for Whlle
he may ehave had just grounds for complaint
billiard lovers are not concerned with his private
business but are deeply interested in what
promises to be the greatest billiard tournament
ever played in this or any other country. Some
thing would have been lacking If Hoppe the
worlds champion had been sulkng at his home
while the best masters Of the cue and balls
were fighting for the title at 49, Nothlng
that could have been written and SAID Woulo
have convinced the rank and file that he pre-
ferred to rest on his laurelS rather than take q
chance of them being snatched away. All the
world loves a good sportsman, and the youhs
champion could i'll afford to lose the respect OF
a single person at the beginning OF his career
Fortunately the tempest in the teapot, as II
proved. has cleared. and Hoppe Will go INTO
the tournament with the best wishes OF those
who only a few days ago were disposed to
criticize him in no favorable terms. He has
no easy task before him to win the coveted title,
as in Louis Cure. the French expert; George
Sutton, Jake Schaefer and George F. Slosson he
star and Cutler, who while apparently out
classed cannot be despised. Hoppe is the ia
vorite. and his followers have an abiding faith
in his ability to win, for they recognize in him
all the marks Of the great player and finished
