MAY HAVE TO
CHANGE COURSE OF
BR|ARCL|FF RACE
Muddy Roads Likely to Neces-
state Cutting Distance
to Eight Laps.

NEW YORK, April 21.-Eight of the
candidates for the Briarcliff trophy
were out on the curse during day
break practise hours today-Vaughan,
Oldfeld nd Leland, of the Stearns
team; Poole, Isotta; Watson. Simplex;
Robertson. Panhard; Campbell, Allen
Kingston and Murphy, Maja.
Hundreds of visiting cars had gone
over the course yesterday digging deep
ruts and cutting up the surface. Mud
prevails over one-third of the route, and
there was no attempt at speeding. IL
continuous dry weather does not pre-
vail between now and Friday, the day
of the race, the car that can finish the
1926 mile run within the time limit OF
s hours 10 minutes will be a good one,
indeed. The reduction of the length oil
the race from ten to eight laps would
now seem to be a necessity. There Will
be a control of the half-mlle run
through Mount Kisco. This Will con-
sumo / hour 40 minutes for but i've
miles ofIthe race, and leave but 3 hours
So minutes for a 320-mile run, which
will compel an average of forty-eight
miles per hour, an utter impossibility.
1t is beyond reason to ask drivers to
cover 800 miles over such a course in 8
hours d minutes, or to make men drive
continuously at top speed for half a day
over a route of the rough and DANGER
Gus character of the Briarcliff circuit.
No days racing in the history of the
snort ever has presented the muscle ana
nerve-racking strain that even a drive
of $50 miles will demand, over roads in
their present condition.

But the other day when Burns's man

Father of Baseball.
Yesterday there passed away tho
man who first fathered the national
game of baseball, Henry Chadwick.
How many of our baseball fans know
anything of his "Grand old mai in
Americas cleanest sport" He was the
Y INCEST brother of the late Sir Edwin
Chadwick, that well-known sanitary
philosopher of England. and was born
in England "a years ago. His inspira-
ton to organize the game came to him
while travelling rough Hoboken in
1887, and he played the game himself.
He was an eminent journalist, a low
able old fellow, and until he died never
lost his love for the game. He has
gone. but the memory of Henry Chad
wick will live as long as the national
game.
