The annual meeting of the Newark Bowl
ing League wifi be held probably on Mon
day. September 16. at which the campaign
for the season of 1903 will be mapped out.
To date,n 10 suggestion has been made as
to any change in the makeup of the league
but, 1t is understood. that the Bay View
whee1men will again apply for member
ship. having had a walkover in the Subur-
ban League for the last three years.
Arrangements for the Masonic Leagues
ive-man bowling tournament were made
at a meeting last night at Montgomery

ton being Ophir Lodge. The others which

Der 16 to September 49, Games will be
rolled every night of the week except Sat-
urdays, Sundays and holidays.
The final match Of the Fraternal League
will be rolled tonight on the Central al
leys. the Junior Order team meeting the
Foresters. The Pythians have already won
luO CllhIlpiOHSHlp Inc JuiilbE OluVi tCdhi
would have to win two out of three games
tonight to land second prize. Two de-
feats would tie the team with the Masons.
According to a member of the Roseville
A. A., the personnel of the r. A. AS atii-
letic club team will not be changed this
season. There will be no changes In the
makeup of Roseville's, Newark and SUI
burban League teams, but they will not
be made known until the captaIns have
been selected.
A five-man. club tournament will be
started on the alleys Of the Roseville A.
A. on October 1. Each team will be cap
tanned by a member of the Athletic League
quintet.

five-man house tournament to be rolled
on the Iroquois alleys. The competition
will not likely be started before October.
Billy Cashau Is no longer connected

single handed.

TEAM RACE ABANDONED.
Twenty-four.Hour Contest will Be for
Single Cars Only.

An important change was made in the
plans of the Morris Park Motordrome
Club Yesterday morning. After thorough
canvass of the situation with regard to the
team race for t~wenty-four hours. which
had been planned for tomorrow and Satur-
day. it was found that few manufacturers
or agents had two cars available for use
in this race. It, therefore, was decided by
the racing committee of the club that the
team race would be abandoned and in it's
place would be run a single car contest
similar to that recently run at Brighton
Beach, Several entries were received for
this race. among them being a Frayer-Mil-
Ter. two De Dietrich cars, a Matheson. a
Packard and a Renault. while others sig
nihed their intention of making entries to-
day.
1t seems probable that the twenty-four-
hour race will bring forth from. twelve to
fifteen starters. and an exciting contest
closely fought, undoubtedly will result.
The Hotehkiss racer, which was driven by
Elliot F. Shepard in the Vanderbilt Cup
race. will be piloted by George Robertson.
Maurice Bernin will drive the 60-horse-
power Renault racer on both lays against
Chevroletis mile record of SO is seconds.
He also will drive a new Renault car In
the twenty-four hour race. which will
start at s o'clock tomorrow night. This
car is similar to the one used by w. K.
Vanderbilt, jr.
The evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1907-1908, 1907-09-05

Entries are being received slowly for
the twenty four hour race at Morris Park
on Friday and Saturday. Dealers who en-
tered cars m the recent Brighton Beach
farce are fighting exceedingly shy of all
similar propositions. In order to allay any
suspicion that the $1,000 prize money will
not be distributed, the management OF the
Morris Park races has offered to deposit
that sum in advance with some responsible
officer of the American Automobile Asso-
citation, from which organization the Morris
Park promoters hold a sanction. 1t seems
a shame that adequate punishment cannot
be meted out at present TO those re-
sponsible for the Withholding of the prizes
due in the Brighton Beach event, one or
two more experiences of this sort, and It
will be impossible to obtain entries for an
automobile event other than one run solely
by a responsible club. AS it is, there are
many prominent motorists in New York
who favor granting sanctions for race
meets to none but clubs. Why motor rae
ing association and the like. which exist
simply to make what they can from the
racing game, should receive the same
consideration as clubs at the hands of the
governing body that deals out sanctions is
hard to sef.

The automobile club of Portland, Ore,
has put itself into a rather peculiar posi-
ton by demanding tina all professional
chauffeurs be required to pass a rigid ex-
animation personally in the presence of a
board of examiners before they are
granted licenses, but that the State
go along as now granting licenses
to private owners of cars. There
is something delightfully."- e~gotistlc in
this proposition. If the paid driver
smashes a car. It is all wrcng, but the
likes withou having to demonstrate to the
State that he is capable of manipulating
his machine. The automobile laws are not
made either for or against automobile own
ers. or should not be. and while 1t Is de-
sirable that owners OF cars be protected
as far as possible against unknowingly
EMPLOYING unskilled or reckless drivers.
still this is a matter for the individual
motorist to attend to, not for the State to
mainain an expensive department to suit
the motorist employing a driver or me-
chanic. There is growing among motorists,
especially those of much experience who
drive high-powered cars. the feeling that
a personal examination may be the soiu-
ton of much that is now wrong in the
automobile LAWS. but if the paid chauffeur
should be examined. then the car owner
and driver should be likewise In this
state the motor vehicle law is at fault Of
this point as on so many others. a. b.
LeMassena. local representative Of the
DEPARTMENT of Motor Vehicle Registration
and Regulation. said recently that his in
structions from Trenton were to the effect
that anyone willing to go on oath that he
Is qualified to operate a car should be
granted a license.
