TEN AMERICAN CARS ENTERED
MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED
IN THE VANDERBILT CUP RACE.

NEW YORK. May 16.-The advance
that American manufacturers have made
IN the production of automobiles can
scarcely be better illustrated than in the
Vanderbilt cup competition that will be
held next fall Hitherto the American
entry has been small and comparatively
insignificant compared with the foreign
cars. This year there will be presented
the unusual spectacle of an American
entry of ten cars in the actual race and
possibly twice as many for the elimna
ton trial. Twelve cars are assured al
ready, and actual entry will be made the
instant the entry blanks are sent out by
the commission. Those that have sig
nified their intention Of racing are two
Locomotives, two Thomases. two Apper-
sons, two Acmes. two Pennsylvania and
two American cars to be entered by John
II. Tyson. The latter was supposed to
intend entering Isotta Fraschini cars. but
according to those who know his plans
his intention is to have an American firm
build the racers.
There will be no dearth OF foreign inter-
est. 1t was feared at first that the re-
striction Of the Grand Prix cars to 100
milimeters bore and the opportunity at
forded in the Vanderbilt cup race TO build
larger engines this side would lead
the foreign manufacturers to stay out OF
the American race. Assurances received
from the other side indicate the contrary
1t is understood that a number of Grand
PIX cars are to be entered in the Van
derbllt cup race, the foreigners trusting
to the greater speed of their engines to
equallZe the greater cylinder area OF the
possible American contestants, accom-
panied by the difficulty of securing a
satisfactory balance with the huge bore
and the added chance of the engine
breaking down under the severe strain.
France reports that the cup commission
can get as many entries in France as
it desires. Hotchkiss and another Eng
fish firm are spoken of certain en-
trants. and it is said Edge is likely to
start. The Italians will compete in a race
and Belgium are said to contemplate an
entry. The outlook for an exceptionally
interesting contest is excellent.
The large number of American en-
trants indicates clearly the new conf
dence in the American product. In spite
of the longer experience of The foreign
manufacturers in the production of speed,
American manufacturers believe they can
turn out as good racers as Europe pro-
duces. They propose TO back this opinion
with test.
The question OF a course for the race
keenly interests every one. Although
there is said to be chance that military
protection may be secured in New York
and the race held on Long Island, no one
has very great hopes that this can be
done. The bid Of Connecticut Tor the race
has not developed very enthusiastically.
1t looks very much though Savannah
would get the prize. This means race
in November. a month later than is usual
for the cup race. The Georgians are pre-
pared to build seven miles of road. and
are prepared to spend $4,000 on the
project. There is good part of the
course already prepared.

Department Ball PLAYERS.

The Departmental League season Is not
yet two weeks advanced and yet six
games have had to be postponed on ac-
count of bad weather. If rain continues
to break up the games in this whole
sale fashion, the season will probably
be finished in August some time instead
of July %. or games will have to be
played Saturdays
The spectators at several Of the games
have been very numerous. but on other
occasions not so large. The league has
denced at couple of the games the past
week. Toward the fourth inning it be-
gan to drizzle and few persons tmme-
diately made tracks for shelter. but on
the other hand there were great many
who braved the downpour and held close
to their positions back Of the ropes.
The season Is too young to predict
the pennant winner, as all of the teams
have shown good FORM The fact that
some Of the teams have not broken into
they have played poor ball The winners
each time have had to put forth their
best efforts until the last man was out be-
fore they we're certain of victory.
Give Richmond of Commerce and Labor
Is pitching with great ability this season
He has pitched in three games and but
one runner has crossed the pan on him.
Teddy Mccarthy. the clever little
third Sacker OF Treasury, got four hits
in his first game, and In his second
he started with another clean one. 1t
seems that Mac wanted to make it six
straight bingles. for he tried to lay down
bunt while the fielders were all play
ing back for him. He failed in his at
tempt to fatten his batting average this
time up, as he hunted a fly right into
the hands Of the pitcher.
Doc" Dougherty, who came into proni-
hence in amateur baseball with the Nor
ris Peters and Commissioners teams. has
been corralled by the Interstate Com
merce management, but has not been
made eligible yet. His time expires in
a few days, and the doctor" will be at
the short field for the rest of the season.
Billy Kane. known to every amateur
in the city. and who played with George
town University several seasons ago, will
also don an Interstate uniform soon. He
will cover second and captain the team.
He knows the game from A to L..
1t is unfortunate that a game has been
forfeited. because Of wrangle between
player and umpire. 1t isn't the kind of
ball that one likes to witness.
Hurdle, who plays right field for Com
merce and Labor, was not heard of until
the Navy game. In this battle he was
the leading feature and he has won for
himself permanent berth on the Laborite
list.
