E astern Enthusiasts
Are Buying Many
Big Runabouts
BY r. r. I'Hor11r,edieu

The automobile enthusiasts have
been spending their time during the
interim of quiet resulting from the
rainfall figuring out how many motor
cars there are in the different cities as
compared with the population Taking
the population Of the United States as
basis, there are 566 persons to every
machine California-especially San
Francisco-has an enviable record This
State has one car for every 173 persons
and the city has one car to every 1873
persons. New York has one car to
every 21o persons and Chicago has one
car to every 377 persons.
f. P. Brinegar of the Pioneer Auto
mobile Company, who has just returned
from the Eastern shows. is enthusiastic
over the automobile outlook He said
yesterday that the Fasteners were
turning their attention this year to
runabouts-not runabouts as they are
known on this coast, but the high
power and high-priced cars. More of
these cars were exhibited this season
than ever before and the sales were
large. Brinegar believes the '.runabout
fever will strike this coast.

they visited after spending several
weeks in the East While away they
called at number of the principal ac-
/ cessory factories, and they brought
back many novelties In the way OF
samples Of the latest in automobile
clothing and sundries. Moore in speak
ing of what he saw while away. said:
The greatest invention that came
under my notice was a dynamo that is
run by the fywheel and which re-
charges the batteries. This Invention
makes il possible always to have
electric lights on the cars. IL is a sim
pie device and one that is going to
revolutionize the storage battery prob

when the cars are far from the charg-

VANDERBILT CUP RACE OFF.
Definite Announcement by Acting
Chairman of Commission.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 27.-Efforts to hold the
Vanderbilt cup race this year have been
abandoned. Announcement of this fact
was made today by A. R. Pardington, act
ing chairman of the cup commission, and
F. P. Elliott, secretary. Their statement is
as follows:
There will be no contest for the William
K. Vanderbilt, Jr., cup during the year
19O7-at least in the United States. This
announcement. reluctantly made by the
commission, follows an attempt to promote
the race covering several months
1.-THE unfavorable attitude of the governor
OF the state Of New York with regard to
the proposed use of the militia to guard the
course: the failure Of the New Jersey state
senate to convene in special session owing
to deadlock; the great distance which the
foreigners would be obliged to travel in
the event of accepting the very cordial in
vitation of the governor of California and
the lack Of assurance from Missouri due to
the absence Of Gov. Folk from the state.
that the guard of the state could be used
make necessary the above announcement.
1.-The donor of the cup, Mr.. William X.
Vanderbilt, Jr., and the chairman of the
commission, Mr.. ]. D. Thompson, have been
in correspondence with the acting chairman
by cable. and 1t has been deemed wise, in
view of the delays and the foregoing con-
ditons, to defer the holding of the race In
this country this year.

| FANS CONDEMN ELBERFELD
HIS SUSPENSION APPROVED IN
NEW YORK.
Will Stay on the Bench Until He Re-
covers From His "Grouch" and
Agrees to Play Ball.


NEW YORK, July 27.-The suspension Of
Shortstop Elberfeld was the subject of
much discussion In base ball circles today
and the decisive action Of President Farrell
met witmgeneral commentator. Mr.. Farrell
said he will support Griffith in every move
he may make. and has given his manager a
freer hand than ever in handling the play
ers
The reason for Elberfelds crouch is still
as much of a mystery as ever. Doubtless
the disgruntled players suspension will be
lifted whenever he goes to Manager Griffith
and tells him he will go in and play his
game There are many fans who favor the
sale Or exchange of Elberfeld and the Sc
curing of some well-seasoned and strong
player like Altizer of the Westinghouse
Conroy is needed in the outfield, for Hickey
has not made shining success as guar
dian of left field. Keller may be out for
another week. as his injured finger is slow
In healing.
In talking today about the Elberfed sus-
pension Manager Griffith minced no words
in expressing his thoughts.
~ wont have any man on my, club who
isn't trying" said the determined little
manager. And I know that Elberfeld
wasn't trying. 1 don't know what he is
sulking about, but he has sulked for sew
eral days and I won't stand for it. That's
ball club. and 1 am going to run it my
way.
"Elberfeld's suspension fs indefinite When
he comes around to his senses and shows
desire to go in and help l will put him
back at short. Until that time he will be
off without pay"
I will back Griffith up in any step that
he may take to straighten out things"
said Farrell. And you can make 1t just as
strong as you like. Griffith has a free hand.
ana Will back him up no matter how Sc
we're the measures are he adopts. I could
see myself that Elberfeld was sulking. and
l stand by Griffith in everything he has
done. We will stand for mistakes on the
part of ball players without a murmur. but
when they do not put their hearts In the
game we 90 not want them"
None OF the ball players seems to know
what Is the nature of Elberfeld's crouch
and he will not say. At any rate he will
not be seen at short for several days, and
every day that he is out will cost him
something like SIS. If it comes down to
cases he might be sold
