TWO BIDS MADE FOR
VANDERBILT CUP RACE.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.--William *.
Vanderbilt, jr., attended the meeting
OF the Racing Board of the American
Automobile Association yesterday at
437 Fifth avenue, and, although the fact
was not stated in Secretary Elliott's
official announcement, it was learned
that Mr.. Vanderbilt took a strong hand
in favor of holding the Vanderbilt Quo
race somewhere in the United States
this year. About three months g the
announcement was made that this big
event would be held in 1908. Nothing
definite had been heard about it since,
but decided progress was made at yes
terday's meeting.
Two important propositions were sub
mitted to the board, one from the Auto
mobile Club of st. Louis and the other
from the Savannah Automobile Club,
both asking that the race be held in
their respective localities. In each case
the promise is made that military pro-
lection will be accorded by the STATE
authorities to guard the course dur
ing the contest, and, as this is a matter
that the American Automobile Asso-
citation Racing Board deems of the
greatest necessity for the success as
well as SdltlS VI tit no Pf~N
petition. there is a very strong prob
ability that the race may be held out
side of New York territory.
The excellent course that has beeh
provided in Savannah for the stock car
vents next month is q great point IN
favor of thai city. The authorities
have granted the use of the militia for
the two days racing on March IL and
10. The savannah autoists have also
promised TO secure a course that VIII
be fully as long as the former Wander
bilt cflp courses on Long Island, using
a par of the eighteen-mile course over
which the stock car events will be run
next month, in addition to adjacent
roads that will require but little work
to put In excellent speed condition.
The hope that the international event
may be held on the Long Island Motor
Parkway. however. has not been
tirely abandoned. Actual work viii
begin upon the parkway early in the
spring, but 1t is feared that a sufficient
length will not be completed for the
race. and in that case it will be neces
sary to utilize a section of the county
roads.

FRIDAY TO DISCUSS LAWS,

Another meeting of the New Jersey
Automobile Trade Association has been
called for Friday morning at Electric
Park.
The meeting has been called for the
purpose of deciding what course the
automobile dealers of the State will
take in regard to the proposed amend
ments to the automobile law, presented
recently to the Legislature by Senator
Frelinghuysen. Last Monday the
Trade Association held a similar meet
ing at the clubhouse of the New Jer-
sey Automobile Motor Club. and
voted to do everything in their power
TO change certain parts of the mend
ment proposed by Senator Frelinghuy-
sen which had to do directly with the
licensing of auto agents. That anne

to the substitution of a clause perfectly
satisfactory to the dealers. At the
meeting Friday the dealers will decide
whether they are satisfied to allow the
amendment to become a law as 1t now
stands.
After the discussion the dealers will
be the guests Of the New Jersey Auto
mobile Trade Association at luncheon,

81 TIGERS START
BASEBALL PRACTISE.

PRINCETON, Feb. 25.-Thirty-one
men responded TO the call for base
ball candidates yesterday afternoon and
were divided into two squads for prac-
tise in the Gag at the varsity field
house. Captain Harlan was the only
player of last years team present with
the exception of Drewes. He gave the
men work at picking up grounders and
throwing, more to get a line on the ma
terial than for actual practise.
Phillips and Dawson are out for
Cooney's place, and of the two Dawson
seems the more likely man. Hamil
was the only candidate for first base.
For the field there was abundant ma
terial. There will be only one place
vacant in the field this year. Captain
Harlan will play left and Warwick, who
played two years ago, Will play one If
the two remaining positions. Dutch"
Myer, the coach, was not in town. The
work was carried on entirely by Cap
tain Harlan and Manager Gansler.

COMMISSIONS REPORT
SHOWS 0 OF SPORT

present discussion over the ASneW-
Hart bills now before h Legislature
is contained in a letter which Is pub
lished with the report of the State Rae
ing Commission, n which was sent TO
George A. Davis, chairman of the judi
ciary committee of the Senate, in re-
Spouse to a request from Mr.. Davis
for the views of the commission on the
d%esirabillty of the legislation proposed.
The opinion of the members OF the COM
mission is summoned up as follows:
"First-The racing statute of 1896 has
in our opinion, justified the promises of
Its promoters, and its administration
has remedied many abuses and has
brought about great improvement in
the character of racing in this State.
"~Second-In our opinion the enact
ment of the proposed amendments
would be O serious damage to racing
and would probably terminate racing
within a short time.
"Third-The contention that the same
penalty must be provided for betting at
a race course on a race there taking
place as provided for maintaining pool
| rooms is not sound. There are scores
| of statutes in this State, making a diff
ferent penalty for the same act wher
done in different places. Such distinc-
ton in PENALTY has been repeatedly
| sustained by the courts, and Is reason
| able and proper.
"Fourth-The present statute, in our
opinion, is a reasonable and proper
statute of regulation in respect of a
problem of more or less difficulty, and
we believe IL to be wiser legislation
than would be a statute of absolute
prohibition, under all the circum-
| stances
'oThe commission, therefore, believes
that the law as 1t stands effectually
and properly carries u the purposes
for which it was enacted and recom-
mends that no further Legislation in the
premises is necessary or desirable at
this time.
81 am authorized to state that the
foregoing is the unanimous opinion of
this commission.

LOCAL BALL PLAYERS
SIGN WITH EAST0N.
Manager Sutton Gets Contracts
of Zimmerman and
HAYES.

Manager Larry Sutton. OF this city,
who is managing the Easton team OF
the Atlantic League, yesterday received
the signed contracts of his two New
ark recruits, Zimmerman and. Hayes,
the former an infeider and the latter
a pitcher.
Local fans who have watched the
work of the youngsters say they are
sure 70 make good in fast company, as
their work with the semi professionals
in and around Newark gave every in
dication of promise. Both are said TO
be natural ball players.
Zimmerman, as IN infielder, Is said to
be one OF the best in this section of the
| State. He is fast on his feet and ham
| dies ground balls with grace and ease.
AS q hitter he shines. About three
years ago he made his debut with the
Clifton Orange team. of the Lacka-
wanna League. He was easily the star
third sacker of the league. Since then
he has improved and few players can
lay the balls down to him n get
away with them. AT the bat he shapes
up like a natural hitter. He is right
handed and makes the pitcher work al
the time. He hits the ball solid and Ia
q good eye. Zimmerman is sure tc
make good. He is about p years OF
age.
Kid Hayes is a pitcher. Though not
so well known in local baseball circles
as Zimmerman, he is said to ave the
ear marks Of a conner. He played with
the st. Benedicts' Baseball Club last
year. He has a no hit no run game to
his credit. Hayes is cool in the box.
He has wide curves and a high, fast
ball that keeps the batters away from
tho plate. Manager Sutton feels sure
that his new recruit will stand the test.

ALBANY. Feb. l25.-The annual re-
port of the State Racing Commission
was handed down in both branches of
the Legislature last night. 1t sum-
marizes the season of 1907 by saying
that it exceeded that of n previous
year in point of attendance, in the
matter of taxes paid for the benefit of
the agricultural societies and in the
amount of the money distributed to
horsemen.
The 5 per cent. tax paid by the rae
ing associations under the law for the
year 1907 was $246, 429.16. This amount
was made up as follows:
| Coney Island Jockey Club. $4,000. 36
BROOKLYN Jockey Club........ 41,S12.23
Brighton Beach Racing Assn 40,623.73
IWestchester Racing ASSN. ~32,Ss9.36

Saratoga Racing Association. 1~7,S76.9S
Empire City Trotting Club.... 12,4Sb.4S
buffalo Racing Association, 7,426.b2
United Hunts Association. -. 2S0.07
Total ....... .$246, 429.1 6
This tax has increased from the sum
of S27, 22O.27 in 1S95-the first year of the
| operation of the presnt racing law
10 the sum of $246, 429.16 In 1907. The
largest tax paid in any preceding year
was $201, 053.7 II. The total amount OF
this tax which has been paid under the
present racing statutes is $1,740,692.S7.
The amount of moneys distributed by
the racing associations as purses and
premiums TO the winners of the races
contested for in 1907 exceeds by nearly
5000, 900 the figures of any previous year,
amounting to 2,645, 900 in all. Ten years
& the amount of these prizes and
premiums was 1890, 900. The compassion
