NEW YORK, October S.-Whether
Barney oldfeld will ever attempt to
come back has been the subject OF
much discussion ever since the Ia
nous racing driver was disbarrea ny
the contest board Of the A. A. a. a
wear ago. Oldheld's suspension was
enacted because of his match race at
Brighton Beach with Jack Johnson,
the champion pugilist of the world
In Detroit recently the erstwhile
speed king unhesitatingiy voiced MS
sentiments in regard to the automo-
bile racing situation.
II am through with racing for
ever" is the way Barney expressed
himself. and in tones that could leave
no doubt that he meant what he said.
Automobile racing. in my opinion.
Is on it's last legs. and the possibility
of il ever recovering is ott of the
question. Now. the only excuse l can
offer for the present condition and
the lack OF interest on the part of
, the manufacturers who at one time
were heart and soul In its support
is the very fact that to-day the game
is in the hands of few shrewd
schemers and promoters, who have
commerciaiized the sport to such an
extent that the racing followers who
put up ROOu money Id see d race keA
in return nothing more or less than
hippodrome.
Automobile racing to-day is only
a travelling show or circus, playing
in one town to ?day and another town
tomorrow and applying exactly the
same method as vaudeville or theat-
rical managers in booking season
for their various enterprises and stars.
In the face Of such tactics, how can
the public get an even break for its
money
1T is a certainty that car OF 200
horsepOwer cannot compete with a

lost when hatsmen cant find their

ii they want to. and I'd like to see
the powers that be compel them TO-
DO you know that there's q de-
mand all over the country for the
starting of games earlier in the day ?
Really, I believe the time il near at
hand when the big league games will
begin as early as 2 o'clock, Just like
the matinees in theatres. In the West
3 o'clock is the popular starting time
now and there are more people at
the games than when they began an
hour later. BY calling play at 3
o'clock. or an hour earlier. persons in
out of town cities would be able to
see the big teams play and then have
fine enough to get home to supper.
Under those circumstances darkness
would never interfere, and If a game
should run into extra innings 1t could
be played to a finish.
There's just another Improvement
/ think can be made. The fans want
lively coaching, not rowdy kicking but
ginger and excitement, Some bali
players never say word and appear
to be merely machines. Others who
talk and hustle always catch the favor
OF the fans. Take jennings, for in
stance. While he isn't n player he
keeps his men on the jump by his
lively coaching. l know for a fact
that fans in all the American League
cities go out tn see the Detroits play
because they know that Jennings will

the games are becoming too slow
and he blames the players In dis
cussing this fault the noted diamond
Judge said yesterday;
Put ginger into any public amuse-
ment and you'll attract and delight
patrons who pay their money at the
box office. A lively act in vaude-
vile or a snappy play will crowd a
theatre any time. A scientific, swiftly
moving boxer will command big money
at boxing club because people will
pay more to see him spar than a
clumsy slugger. Baseball is the same.
Speedy playing Is essential toward
keeping up the interest II the games
are allowed to drag the fans grow
tired and lose interest
i've always maintained that be-
tween innings the players going to
and from the benches should be made
to hurry. 1t looks better than to
see them SLOUGH To their positions,
stopping on the way to borrow chew
or to discuss an error maybe. When
the games were played SO rapidly that
there was cry in some quarters that
there was too much hurry and hustle.
Games were frequently played in one
hour and fifteen minutes and / really
believe II majority of the fans were
satisfied. But in recent years the
players themselves have adopted
slothful methods with the result that
the games are again too long.
"Much time Is wasted by the bat
teries. The spit ball pitchers consume
most of 1t by moistening their fingers
and preparing To take aim. Then
