relief from the drastic measures enacted by the last legislature will be forthcom- ing from the beginning of the sport next year.
 August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey club, says racing is a serious sport, involving vast breeding interests, and people will realize it is necessary. It Is entitled to recognition with the rest of the sports, and here MT. Belmont delivered the strongest statement he has made on the subject since hostile legis- lation crippled the sport. He said: q believe in the future of racing. Further persecution will be unpopular"
 President R. T. Wilson, Jr., of the Sar- atoga Racing association has no doubt about the continuance of the sport next season. He has shown his optimism by the purchase of a number of yearlings from John E. Madden at fancy figure for development next year. He also was a bidder at the recent auction sales of horses in training at Saratoga. He also has announced the closing of several val uable stakes to be run next season.
 John E. Madden, the successful breeder and developer of champion thorough breds, is certain that New Workers will see more racing in the state next year.
 "The people should have what they want" says Madden, land anybody who saw the big crowd and the enthusiasm at last Wednesdays futurity at Saratoga can't deny that the public wants racing. When a crowd of 1000 or more will take the trouble and pay the extra expense of a trip from New York to see a single race, when others will come from nearby sections and even a special excursion Is run from Canada, no one can deny the sport is popular"
 John G. Cavenagh is another direct ly concerned in racing who Is sure that racing will be continued next season Cavanagh sees more than a ray of hope in several cases which are yet to be thrashed out in the courts.
 Just why some one of the various as- sociations didn't have the nerve to test the directors liability feature, of the new laws aimed at racing isn't known. The Jockey club believes it adopted wise plan in shutting down before September i, just to show that racing under the drastic laws was impossible. The of ficials evidently hope to show that laws which cripple legalized institution like racing will not stand in court.
 The announcement that James Rowe will train for Herman B. Duryea in Eng land next year has received with regret by turfmen in this country. Rowe is ex- tremely popular here and has an army of friends in all sections who hate to see him go. But he will not be lonely on the other side, as Jack Joyner. a lifelong friend, is in charge of the Whitney stable there. Rowe and Joyner are among the best trainers ever licensed in ! this country. It has been rumored for several days that s. c. Hildreth. if there

AMERICAN APPLES
 TICKLE ENGLISH

Washington. September 1S.-Ameri- can apples tempt the English buyer. In proof of this statement Albert WI Swalm, American consul at Southamp- ton, reports that a shipment of apples from the Wenatchee section of the state of Washington commanded a higher price than any other American apples ever offered in the open English market, much of the shipment being sold at from 8 to 12 cents a pound ano eagerly taken at that price. The secret of success, he says, Is for the American
 shipper to send good fruit, well packed and keep out of an auction where q commission may control prices.

GREAT RIVALS TO MEET
 ON ATLANTA AUTO TRACK

But they couldn't keep it up. They cut circles around the black machine, but while they stopped to tinker a bit the Rainer kept on plugging
 Theoretically it was Robertson's race.
 His Fiat was the fastest car. It was ptiful to see him pass the Rainier. It seemed a shame that they were in the same race-the hare and the tortoise.
 When Robertson had lead of six miles in the race he took things easy saving his engine and his tires And then chain broke. Robertson tore his hair, swore, danced up and down and finally effected a repair. But before he had done so the Rainier had crawled up| from nowhere to the lead Then fol- lowed the most desperate chase of speed way history. The second that Robertson got back in his car he threw it wide open and it roared through the gathering twi- light, with flames playing around the ex- heust And it turned 20 miles in 1547, beating the American record. But ir| couldn't beat the Rainier Without al falter or a stop in the 200 miles this black car had gone on to it's victory.
 The advertising and the publicity andl the prestige that the Rainier gained outI of this race, not to mention the posses-I sion of the City of Atlanta cup and $1000I in cash. has opened the eyes of automo-l bile row. And bunch of the best carsI in America will compete for it in the fall The race Is open to cars of piston dis-| placement of 451 to 600 cubic inches, and| this means that it will attract many of the highest grade machines made in thisI country or imported.
 The other big fixture which was rum last fall and which will be run again this| fall Is the Coca-Cola trophy. This race| Is for cars of displacement of 30l toI 450 cubic inches, and is more contest for medium powered and medium priced cars than its big brother, the City of Atlanta trophy event.
 Last year this Coca-Cola trophy was' won in wonderful style by Louis Chevroa let, the daring Franco-Swiss, after race in which accidents played their part.
 Nine cars started.
 Chevrolet got away in front. closely followed by Tom Kiucaid, in a National. broken magneto shaft removed the Ma tional from the running. Then Chevrolet had a little trouble His car caught fireI and burned fiercely for awhile. But. sol great had been his lead that he was able to stop, put out the blaze and get away again, still in the lead. At the' 167th mile one car threatened the Buick driver and that was Stillman's Marmon. l And just as this combination entered the 16sth mile a tire blew out, the Marmon went over an embankment and landed I unhurt From that time on it was easy racing for the Buick. At the finish the | car was 3S minutes ahead of the Ameri- | can record.
 This year the Coca-Cola trophy should attract larger field than the City of Atlanta event even. It is open to cars of a popular size and it is a rich event for machines of the SO1-450 classification. The distance this year will be 1Co instead of 200 miles.

DR.. Wiley said he believed the
earth was slowly cooling. and that
the people of the distant future must
freeze, though he declared for a
million years at least" humanity
would not suffer from lack of food or

Wiley, the winds will serve as fuel.
From my knowledge of the laws
of electricity" he said, "and from
practical experiments already be
ing made, | prophesy that the cur

agents of destruction to man. will
yet be harDessed for his benefit.
''ln the future the air will fur

Efforts or Union Labor

For the purpose or having Con-

of sailors on warships while the
ships are at a navy yard, Congress
man Il. l.. Maynard will present a
bill to the present Congress otter
the Christmas holidays.
Labor unions have been complain
ing for some time on account of en-
listed men of the navy doing repair
work on warships which they claim
should be dune by outside meehan-
les.
Mr.. Maynard said that there is no
objection to the bluejackets doing
the work when the ships are at sea
Or when they are not at a yard, but
that when the ships come up to the
navy yards then it is the province of
civilian forces to perform such work
may be necessary, and that he
d not think they should be cut out
of this work by the employment of
the enlisted men.
