BUFFALO WINS
Fla. N. 1871 MEET
Struggle Lively, With indianapolis
the Leading Rival, But Hoosiers
Lost at End.

BUFFALO, April 19.-Buffalo wins
the 1911 meet of the Federation OF
American Motorcyclists.
This was the announcement of Fred
l. Willis OF Indianapolis, president OF
the F. A. NJ. today. following a vote
by the members OF the f. A. NJ board
OF directors. Interest In the outcome
OF tie vote has been keen, because OF
the active campaign waged by Buffalo
and indianapolis. Springfield. Mass.
got into the contest at the last min
ute and made a strong bid for the
meet, guaranteeing $4,000 for enter
tainment indianapolis offered a SINH
lar fund and Buffalo was also ready
with big entertainment fund
Having won their fight, the big mo-
torcyclists event of the year will be
staged in Buffalo undoubtedly during
the week beginning Sunday, July 2.
The Fourth of July falls on Tuesday
and Ii was the idea OF the Buffalo
motorcyclists 10 have a double endur-
ance run, starting simultaneously
from New York and Chicago, the rid.
ers 10 enter Buffalo on the Fourth OF
July. This added TO other events and
the patriotic celebration would make
Buffalo hum for one day at least.
There Is at this time talk OF new
board track in Buffalo with Jack
Prince as the builder.

AUTO RAGING IS
WARMLY At Tackled
Ben Briscoe, President Of T. S. Mo-
tors, Hands Package to Sport,
As Run at Present.

That the welfare of the automobile
motor car racing. is the statement
made by Benjamin Briscoe, president
or the United States Motor Co. While
admitting that racing has served well
in making for better cars and in add
ing TO the prestige OF motoring, Mr..
Briscoe believes that purpose has
been fully served and the industry in
now In a position where II is injured
rather than benefited by the speeding
OF motor cars with the attending dan
gers TO human life.
In the early days." said Mr. Bris-
coe, when abnormal tests were neces-
sary TO bring out the weak points OF
cars and where Ii was desired to at
tract attention TO the motor car as a
vehicle of transportation and general
utility, speed contests were beneficial,
and we, like the others, supported IL.
Racing has had its inning, however,
and the practical perfection OF auto
mobiles and the standing OF the auto
mobile industry are such that speed
contests are no longer required. While
IL appears that lives inevitably must
be sacrificed to the onward march OF
civilization, IL seems barbarism to
further risk human life in competition
which no longer serves useful pur.
pose.
In nearly every case, a big race
meet leaves an aftermath OF speed
mania. Spectators who own automo-
biles seem buoyed into the belief that
they too must drive fast and the speed
wave sweeps the country.
Stock car contests, as conducted
today, are jokes. An entrant In stock
car events who depends upon stock
car-the same car that is delivered 10
a purchaser-has as much chance oil
winning a race as the Lusitania has
OF crossing the Atlantic in twenty-four
hours
The cars that win these so-called
stock car races are usually doctored
Special cars are built, special motors
are Installed and In the majority OF
cases, the only way a racing car re-
sembles a stock car is in the fact that
il has four wheels and a steering gear.
The time has come for the auto
mobile industry TO stop pandering 10
cheap notoriety and transforming. In
it's solving of the transportation prob
lem, il deserves 10 be considered along
with the food. steel and clothing In
dustries and II is our duty to see that
II gains and holds that position.

Red Ames is after the strike

straight defeat Of the st. Louis
Browns, after two-vlctory start,
leads unkind critics to assert that

the Boston Nationals, said his
team was headed for third place.

Speaking of the Athletics, II is
noticeable that several of the members
of the worlds champions have gone
back in their play this year. No less
a person than Connie Mack ascribes
this condition TO the fact that they
are bridegrooms. In the list are IN
cluded Collins, Barry and Coombs,
All three OF these stars were married
shortly after the worlds series.
II is a well-known fact in baseball
that bridegrooms usually follow their
weddings with bad seasons. They
seem to transfer their feelings OF re,
sponsibility from the baseball field to
their newly-made homes. They are
always late at practice, in a hurry TO
get away from the park and center
their attention in the stand, rather
than on their opponents on the field.
Ii Is also nticeable that Connie was
himself married since the worlds
series. He Is said TO have been badly
outgeneralled by Hal Chase, In the
New York series, and has been ac-
cused of losing interest in the game.
Connie has ordered that ali the
Athletics wives be left at home on
the trip which begins today. He is
setting his men an example.
