SUPERVISORS MAY CANCEL
 PERMIT FOR AUTO RACES

New York, October 2.-The board of su- pervisors of Nassau county, Long Island. will hold a special meeting tomorrow to consider the advisability of cancelling the permit for the grand prize automobile race, scheduled to be held over the Van derbilt cup course on October 15. Not withstanding yesterdays list of four dead and more than 20 injured, incident to the Vanderbilt cup race, A. R. Pardington, general manager of the Long Island Mo- tor parkway, is authority for the state- ment that nothing but official interference shall stop the grand prize.
 Special drivers booked to participate in the event have demanded more adequate policing of the course and tonight Will liam Pickens, manager of Barney Old field, gave out the following message which he says Oldfeld sent from Chi cago:
 "Withdraw my entry from grand prize race unless course be guarded completely by troops I am unwilling to risk my neck and car.'
 Oldfield follows with a severe arraign- ment of the management of the Wander bilt race, whom he says spent nothing to safeguard drivers and spectators
 The foregoing from Oldfield is some what cryptic, however in that it was said in New York tonight that he had not been entered for the grand prize. It was at first understood that he would drive a Benz car, but the Benz man agement is said to have decided on Hem cry and Hearne as their drivers.
 Although several members of the Mas var oo,,ntv hoard of supervisors are un- decided whether to attribute yesterday fatalities to policing or carelessness or spectators, c. c. Painter of Oyster Bay, a member of the board who will offer a motion to cancel the permit, said In a statement tonight;

''The killing and maiming at the au- tomobile race seems to indicate the end of that kind of sport on the highways I am much mistaken. The thing has gone far enough. Shall we wait for a wholesale killing before taking action?
 Tt is my opinion that the license for the race of two weeks hence should be revoked and another of it's kind never issued again.
 Any move to cancel the race will be bitterly fought by many residents of Nassau county, outside of those directly interested in the cup race. Automobiles have made money for the county in many ways and the races have always been favored by those who derive a benefit By those 1t Is argued that yesterday 5 casualty list. even though exceptionally large, was not so startling in view of the fact that within few hours something like 100000 or 100000 persons congregated In an area seething with autmobiles on and off the course. Coming and going mostly from New York city this great army moved about 30 miles at dawn and dusk respectively. It Is pointed out that it is doubtful if this could be done any where with less accident and injury.
 No more deaths of those injured had occurred up to tonight, but the condi- tion of four persons Is critical. These are: Thomas Miller, a spectator, who was struck by the Pope Hartford car; Charles Grommucci, the chauffeur injured in an early morning smash; Henry Hagen dorn, a spectator, who was struck by Dawsos car, and Mrs. Ferdinand dZu- bia, whose husband was killed In crash en route to the course.
 Harold Stone, the young driver Of the Columbia car has gained strength, al though both his legs are broken, and will probably recover. Louis Chevrolet s broken arm is doing nicely.
 The race committee has taken charge of the bodies of Mechanicians Miller and Bacon. They will be held pending ad- vice from relatives

WOLGAST FAVORED
 TO DEFEAT WHITE

Chicago. October 1.-The first big wager on the forthcoming White-Wolgast battle, scheduled for Milwaukee October ', was placed by Krone and Message of this city for Joseph Woods, the well known western sportsman. Woods took the short end, laying $500 to $500, Wolgast. of course, being favorite. Numerous smaller wa gers have been recorded during the past few days, but this quotation can be ac- cepted as the prevailing odds. In some quarters it was thought that the Michi- gan wild cat would rule as short as to 1, but this is very doubtful
 On the face of it the match appears to be all that could be desired. In the first place, White, who recently gave Jack Redmond the trimming of his life. is apparently very willing lad and game to the core. Built along almost similar lines to those of Wolgast, who is a glutton for work, Frankie impressed me as a championship possibility. True, the lad is trifie in the rough as yet, and might have profted imueaspreably bv another battle or two with near top notchers, but on the other hand a chance ,at the champion is always desirable, even though 1t will be no decision affair. Tn his battle with Redmond, who has all along been considered a very fair lad, especially in view of the fact that he held Wolgast to a draw, in the latter s last important battle, while showing startling improvement. Taking line through both battles-that of Wolgast vs Redmond and White vs. Redmond, I am led to remark that White made decidedly <,o better showing. White, the possessor of a wallop in either hand was on tor of his man at all stages, and although n,,nished very severely at times for his boring-in tactics, would not be denied and literally battered Redmond to the floor in the closing rounds. Wolgast or the other hand may have been under wraps in the early stages of his mill while it is a fact that he fractured his left and fighting arm in the seventh round. finishing out the bout with ons hand. In White, Wolgast faces a gamer man than Redmond and one that will cccas sion him more trouble Redmond: forte Is walloping away at the head ant |ace of his opponent, while White i: strictly body puncher. On the face o it. 1t looks like battle from the tar of the gong.

Story of the Adoption of the Salary Limit
 Agreement MAGNATES ACTED
 ON OWN INITIATIVE Judge kavanaugh Was Not Permitted to Attend Meeting-Birmingh gham Fined $500 in Wilhelm Case.
 Developments Expected
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS

When Herbert Juul, pitcher of the Montgomery Baseball club, presented charges of salary limit violation against that club. Judge Kavanaugh, acting on authority of the constitution of the Southern league. notified the proper of fcials of the Montgomery club that un- less fine of S1250 was paid by Octo- Der the franchise of that city would be declared forfeited. And he followed this announcement by another to the effect that in case the franchise was forfeited a meeting of the board of di- rectors would be called for the purpose of passing on the charges of Juul and the action of the president
 From some quarters severe criticism has been directed against President Kavanaugh in regard to his action in the case. President B. B. Joseph of Montgomery has been quoted as sta ting that the president was acting arbitra- rily, and has charged that Kavanaugh was making a "grandstand" play. He has followed these remarks by state ment that he will not vote for Kava- naugh for reelection to the presidency as if this would deter any honest man in ruling according to the dictates of his conscience. And various writers of sporting news throughout the south have criticised and waxed facetious.
 And yet President Kavanaugh could not have acted otherwise had he desired to do so-could not have acted other wise and discharged the duty imposed upon him by the various presidents of the league.

 In speaking of the affair Mcfarland admitted to me that he knew he could not do the weight.

 Asked if he would go on and fight the welterweights, where he most assuredly belongs, he shrugged his shoulders like one who didn't care to take a chance with a fellow of his size. Some, of course. call 1t by more common name cowardice.

These lists were signed by the presi- dent, by the manager and by member of the board of directors of each club
 It was not so in 1909 or in 1908. Then every club resorted to subterfuges. No one observed the limit or cared to.
 And in this connection one Is remind ed of the time when Birmingham was "jacked" up before the president in the Wilhelm Aase. R. H. Baugh, president of the local club, immediately rushed to headquarters to answer the charge of having violated the salary limit agree ment. He pleaded guilty and asked Judge Kavanaugh to act without talk ing the matter before the board of di- rectors. And the fine was reduced to $500 and paid.
 At that time Judge Kavanaugh stated that he knew the violation was merely technical, but that ne was compelled to act in accordance with the constitution. He was firm and did impose heav< fne-but not as heavy as if Birmingham had fought the proposition.
 This occurred, too, when every one openly violated the limit But proof was furnished only against Birming- ham. and there was nothing for the president to do but to carry out the law

WITH KAVANAUGH ABSENT
 SALARY LIMIT WAS ADOPTED

As is remembered, in the season of 1909 and in preceding seasons, the sal ary limit of the Southern league was regarded with the sacredness with which a good Irishman observes the Chinese new year. The salary limit. In other words, was a farce.
 The directors and presidents of the league reached a determination among themselves to fix a new limit, and to make it so binding that no one would dare to violate the agreement.
 And here is an interesting feature in this connection. The magnates desired to discuss this question freely and to refer to the fact that every man had violated the old agreement and that every man knew 1t. And they did not want to discuss these matters before Judge Kavanaugh-not because the judge didn't know of the wh olesale vio- lations, but because no charges had been preferred and no proof was in evidence And there was still another reason why the magnates wished Judge Kavanaugh to remain without the doors. They wanted to adopt an agree ment, to pledge themselves to observe it, and to carry it to Judge Kavanaugh, without him having expressed an opin- ion concerning any of its sections, say ing:
 Here is our agreement. Enforce 1t equally to all, without fear or favor"
 One of the leaders in this plan was J. w. Heisman of Atlanta. Another was F. E. Kuhn of Nashville. MT. Jo- seph of Montgomery was also heartily in favor of the plan.
 Therefore, when Juul preferred charges against Montgomery to the ef- feet that that club had violated this agreement which the leaders had adopt ed while the president was with out there was nothing for Kavanaugh to do but enforce the constitution-do as he had been directed by those at the head of the various clubs of the league. Therefore the writer cannot see where in Judge Kavanaugh is playing to the galleries. or why this criticism.

WILL HEIsMANa RUN
 FOR KAVANAUGH'S JOBs

Some believe that either in the spe- call meeting of directors or in the league meeting in Birmingham October 24 things of sensational nature will occur.
 It is indicated that charges will be preferred against other clubs of the league. It Is stated that one or more clubs have revised their salary liSts during the season. and that certain players, according to the figures, were paid more in the spring than in August and September.
 And it is stated, too, that a fight will he made against the reelection of Pres ident Kayanaugh. It is even stated that J. w. Heisman of Atlanta will be the candidate chosen to oppose him.
 As to whether or not this Is true, one cannot determine SO far in advance or the time of the meeting. At any rate, 1t is probable that the Juul case will result in a broader limit as con- cerns salary as well as the number of players that each club may carry next season.
 And if that is true the Juul case will have resulted in good.

THE WILHELM CASE
 COST BARONs $500

The salary limit was drawn up by the presidents on their own initiative, and it was so arranged that in filing the monthly reports with the president of the leag,ie three members of each club would be compelled to make affi- davit that the list was a correct one, and that no subterfuges of any nature whatsoever were being resorted to in the knowledge of those who signed.

WILL PROBABLY
 BE DECLARED FORFEITED

The time limit expires today Presi- dent Joseph of Montgomery has stated positively that he will not pay the fine imposed on Montgomery. Judge Kava- naugh, therefore, 1t Is a practical cer- tainty, will declare the Montgomery franchise forfeited-although this &C., ton might not be taken until tomor- row.
 Then special meeting of the direc- tors will be called and the president will put the case before that governing body He will have done his duty and removed from his sh houlders the weight of responsibility. The directors will either uphold the president in his action or will vindicate Montgomery.
 The defense of Montgomery is that ex-President Chambers paid Juul $25 over and above the amouDt stipulated in Juul's contract: that the contract was a private one, and that in no wise did it concern the Montgomery club.
 President Kavanaugh, in answering this argument refers to the constitu- tion, which states that the salary limit, or the spirit of the salary limit agree ment, shall not be violated by mem Der of any club-or by anyone. This section of the constitution was adopted without President Kavanaugh being present He had nothing to do with it and 1t Is not even known whether or not he approves of that section. He was simply informed that the agree ment had been drawn up and that he was expected to enforce 1t.
 President Joseph has not made the defense that the arrangement between MT. Chambers and Pitcher Juul was unknown to him. But 1t seems that fl he does state before the directors that the arrangement was unknown to him and unknown to Manager Greminger and to all others actively interested in the Montgomery club, then 1t, seems that the directors, in spite of the lit
