AUTOMOBILING.

The action of the new racing board of the
American Automobile Association last week at
its first meeting has met with general apnro,al
IN automobile circles. No ruling was perbaps
more acceptable than that which provides that
hereafter the first five cars to finish IN the
American elimination trials for the Vanderbilt
Cup race Will represent this country for the blue
ribbon fixture.
Last year the cup commission had the
power TO use its discretion and select those cars
which In its opinion made the best showing.
irrespective Of where they finished This led 10
much dissatisfaction and unfavorable comment
as the committee used its power to throw out
Soihe cars and substitute others. Under the new,
ruie IL is fair field and no favor.
Inc change In the rule regarding the differ
ehuai gear was perhaps the easiest way out of
diinculty which has been the cause of much

The outdoor sporting season is fairly under
way and there will be plenty TO amuse and

be formally opened at Aqueduct to-day, to con-
unue without interruption until the midsummer
meeting at Saratoga The long fights for the
National and American league pennants have be-

week including the opening at the Polo Grounds
by the worlds championship Giants Friday.
The golfers VIII have their first taste OF open
tournament play at Lakewood on Thursday and
following days. and the lacrosse, lawn tennis
snd association football players Will find plenty

parnent at 1872 will also be continued, with the
promise OF many hard fought matches. The

tournament were the important happenings of

to lead TO unfavorable comment, as in the pres
ent case
All may have been perfectly fair and above
board, but the impression is strong with many
that the first race was only good warming up

meted out. Perhaps the end is not yet.

regatta last year. should make for good

sport be il said. the committee had the courage
of its convictions and meted out punishment
even at the expense. perhaps of creating fur
ther distrust in the minds of our English rowing
cousins and discourag ging other crews to try for
the Grand Challenge Cup.
1t is fortunate indeed, that the crew did not

THOROUGHBRED RACING.

August Belmont has taken another step look
ing % the Improvement Of the breed of thor
oughbred horses in this country by the pur-
chase OF the great English stallion Rock Sand
winner OF the triple crown abroad He will be
brought TO this country and placed at the head
OF the famous Nursery Stud in Kentucky from
where his sons and daughters will go forth to
earn him added lustre.
In the veins Of Rock Sand flows the best
blood in the English stud book and he was
ranked abroad as one of the greatest horses Of
the time The price paid big one. S125.-
600. which places him among the six highest
priced horses in the history Of the turf; but Mr
Belmont did not consider the cost IN his desire
20 improve the thoroughbred stock here, and the
American turf owes him a debt OF gratitude
Rock Sand is horse OF heroic proportions, and
from his pictures reminds one strikingly Of the
Leamington type Bred in the purple by Sain-
foin. himself Derby winner out OF Roouebrune

phenomenal success a racehorse He never

successful In the history OF the club. Here and
there word Of complaint heard, but on

LAWN TENNIS.

The selection os the American lawn tennis
team to represent this country in the inter-
national matches for the Dwight F. Davis Cup
in England next June has met with general ap-
proval 1t is cause for particular congratula-
ton that Holcombe Ward. who was uncertain
about going for a time has been able to arrange
his plans and accept a place the team. He
holds. with Beals c. Wright. the national
doubles title. and was the national champion in
singles in 1904. but lost to Wright in the chal-
lenge round at Newport last year.
Wright is now the ranking player of the
country. and a fast. consistent and heady player
while Kregh Collins, the Western champion
and Raymond D. Little. although hardly the
equal Of Wright and Ward. are masters of the
racquet and can be depended to do credit
to themselves and this country if their services
are required. Just which men will play for the
cup will not be decided until few days before
the match depending of course, on the form
they show in the preliminary practice and their
condition.
Wright and Ward would be the natural Sc
lection for the doubles, they have played to-
gether for several years and make an ideal team.
They know each others game thoroughly and
work together like one man. The showing that
Collins made at Newport however indi-
Gated that he is not surpassed by any doubles
player in the country, and with n little practice
he could easily take his place beside Wright or
Ward without making any appreciable differ
general condition of the playing strength of the
men is such to make the positions in both
singles and doubles interchangeable without
sacrificing the possibilities of winning
All things considered. the outlook is bright
for a successful quest this year and a bringing
back of the cup TO this country. The expert
ences of year ago will be valuable. and the
will know more fully the conditions that
they will be called on to face. Mistakes We're
made last year that reed not be repeated. and
IL will be remembered that even though the
men were stating off from many hard matches
prior TO the main struggle. they made a fight
against the Doherty brothers. two of the great
est opponents of the game developed.
