Woman Auto Driver
Applies for Entry
In 3OO-Mile Race
Contest Committee Will
Consider Eligibility of
of Mrs. CuneO.

NEW YORK, jan 12.-Those IN charge
Of the coming 8O0-mile automobile race
for stock touring cars viii Wrestle to-
day over the question whether women
are eligible to compete
There is one woman who has not only
the nerve, but the ability and necessary
experience for such a contest, and she
demands the right TO enter the race.
This is Mrs Joan Newton Cuneo. wife
Of Andrew CUneo, the New York bank
eT, who has already Inundated some
famous drivers of racing cars.
Many Oppose Female Entrants.
It IS probable that Mrs Cuneo's
eligibility will occupy most Of the time
of the committee. Many Of the COM
mittee are opposed on principle to al.
lowing q woman TO compete
This 30o-mile contest over Westminster
roads on April p will be no mere pas
time Stock cars can travel over nifty
miles an nOur and the danger 10 the
contestants viii be nearly as great as
in that nerVe-rackiug struggle called
the Vanderbilt race. Should Mrs. Cuneo
meet with a serious accident a wave
of horror would go through the COM
mUnlty, ard the committee woulc be
severely censured for permitting a Nom-
an to take part in the contest.
iias Experience.
That Mrs. CuneO has the necessary
skin in driving a car has been shown
in the past, when the promoters Of
races actually reque=-eu her to enter
in their events. Now. however. as the
stock car race will be a particularly
difficult one, there has been some ar
gUment over her entry, not because Il
was the desire Of the men TO bar women
out of the race, but because they did
not wish to appear To be allowing q
woman TO take great risks.

ary Scale.

NEW YORK, Jan. lS.-Joe Kelly. who
has succeeded Fred Tenney as manager
of the Boston National League team.
signed a novel contract with President
George B. Dovey. the Boston magnate
in The office of II. c. Pulliam, president
Of the National League, in the st.
James building, at New York Saturday.

to d two years contract, calling for
large salary, the amount of which was
not stated. and also 5tipulating that
Kelly is to receive d certain additional
bonus for each place ,he Boston team
finishes above the fifth notch.
Will Have Full Swing.
In a word. if Kelly can land the Bean
eaters in third place, for instance, he
may receive 5000 extra, or $1,000 for
each position above the stipulated rat
ing. II was also a condition OF the
contract that Kelly should have full
charge Of the team, with absolute power
TO discipline, release. trade, or sign all

1t is understood that the contract
signed by Kelly also calls for about
5000 for one season.
Kelly insisted that the contract should
be signed in the presence OF PulIiam. for
the reason that the latter used his In
hucnce TO secure the management OF

RoAsTs THE PREACHERS
Rev. "Billyr Sunday Calls Them "Stiffs
and Salary Quacks."

PITTSBURG. PA, June 1.-THE Rev.
"Billy" Sunday, the evangelist, who Is
a former baseball player delivered an
address to the Presbyterian ministers
of Pittsburg to-day. His words caused
CONSERVATION among the preachers.
some Of whom left the First Presbyte-
rlan Church, their dignity stung. Most
OF them. however, remained to the
end.
The evangelist spoke on "Why Some
Ministers Fail" He said that many or
the ministers of the present day We're
fudge eating mollycoddles." who are
continually springing bum bull con on
their congregations. Few ministers of
to-day, he asserted. are anything but
'stiffs and salary quacks, willing to
accept social distinctions" and many OF
them are Candidates for the funny
house"
Continuing the Rev. 'Billy" said:
Some of you ministers are controls
ed by riches and not by the Bible.
Many of you are grafters, pure and
.simple. You know this, too. There
are some of you preaching to-day that
should be carrying the hod. What we
do want is to tear down the seminaries
and stand the professors on their heads
in mud puddles.
"Seminary and its teachings are of
no more use to preaching than cranes
legs are to q setting hen. I am not
an osteopath. i am a. surgeon, and my
line is to cut out the abscess In the
side of the church,"
