teeship of New Jersey Club.

East Orange, n. j., Jan. l (SpeciaD.-
". Give Crosby, OF this city. has resigned
as q trustee OF the New Jersey Automobile
and Motor Club, claiming that politics has
invaded it's management and that he is In
a hopeless minority in the control or af-
fairs
He has written a letter Of resignation eX-
planning the reasons for his action in de-
tail, among the chief OF which was meet
Ing on December 2S at which discussion Of
important matters was smothered and ac-
ton 10 which he was opposed was showed
through by the majority. lie decries a
publicity board, which he says the club
has established, and through which false IN
formation is disseminated.
He asserts that the club, along with other
clubs of tho state, has deliberately misrep-
resented the legislative desires of sutoists,
and he criticises the club itself for refusing
TO cooperate with other organizations 10
get the right kind of amendments TO the
automobile laws.
He announces that he will retain his
membership in the club, for n member has
rights and privileges and trustee duties
and responsibilities. Inasmuch as the stu
alton in the club prevents him from dis
charging his responsibilities, but does not
deprive him OF his rights as member, he
is not prepared as yet TO withdraw entirely.

Lawn tennis players will have much to do
and say at the allday session OF the com
ing thirty first annual meeting of the United
States National Lawn Tennis Association
More important legislation than has come
before the delegates In many years is on
the programme. A. l.. Hoskins the secre-

two hundred clubs and organizations In tho

sentatives may arrive in season for the

As TO the plan for a lawn tennis dinner,
whether or not that will be held on Satur-
day right as sort Of love feast" as DR..
Hawk put II in his recent suggestion, re-
mains 10 be decided. Anyway there Will be
an active business session from 10 8
y m There will then he a recess OF a
little over an hour, when the meeting will
be resumed, to continue to midnight. IT is
the first time I'm the history OF lawn tennis
that such a lengthy session has been in
dulged in.
The fact that the election Of officers fol-
lows Immediately after the Official and com
mittee reports leads followers Of the sport
in this city to predict that interest In the
coming meeting will he centred early This
is because of the suggestion incorporated
i'm ths report Of the ranking committee
L. F. Torrey jr., Miles s. Charlock and
Harry Torrance-that the members or the
all-powerful executive committee be elected
upon a rotating plan, and so do away with
a self-perpetuating body In control Of the
sport. The committee includes William A.

an endurance record OF the world.
He started at 10 o'clock on the morning
OF November 90. Ten days later the run
ner showed unmistakable signs OF fatigue
and was urged to quit. But perseverance
was Estoppeys long suit, and he hoped
along and got his second wind. His finish
this morning demonstrated his wonderful
endurance.
When he started around the twelve lap

uct. There will be an entire absence OF
what are generally termed freaks. and the

men. I was in hopes that some general

Quoted in a reasonably clean and altogether

Interesting address on "A Chronicle OF the

the spirit Of amateurism is in constant
danger from the insidious commercialism
that threatens it by making appear plaus-
ible and right the most nagrant forms of
lying and deceit" Commercialism Is
constant menace TO clean sport. while lying
and deceit are the greatest evils growing
out OF the more or less general ban against
summer baseball playing for money by
college men. The former. however, is a
condition and not theory which may be
rninirnized but. unfortunately. not wiped

the keen desire 20 win are uppermost. As 10
