N1HEN the Atlanta Motordrome
wv is thrown open Saturday night
for another evening of racing
by electric light, the now historic duel
between Jock Mcneil and his J. A. p.
motor and TEX" Richards and his
Indian will be resumed. They had
another tilt last night before a really
brilliant audience that CirCled the
quarter mile track four deep, but 1t
wasn't conclusive.
Jocks motor which seems to be as
delicate as it is fast. threw a charley
boss in the final heat of the Georgia
Sweepstakes, and Richards rOmped
home a winner.
In the Motordrome Purse Mcneil
was forced to ride on a borrowed ma
chine. Saturday night ne and Rich

to determine the best man at the
track.
Richards a Big Winner.
Richards swept it clean Tuesday
night in series of races that kept
the nerves of a huge audience attn
gle and stirred their enthusiasm to a
pitch that has not been reached here
in the memory Of the modern speed
fan
In the Sweepstakes he won a quail
flying heat from Renel and Shields
In the finals he met Renel. Lockner
and Mcneil and won by a Comforta o

contest In the Motordome Purse
Mcneil Con a borrowed maChine) and
Lockner thrashed it out with Rich
ards, and though they pressed him
close and made him ride the four
miles i'm 2:04 20, they could not over
haul him.
In the special match race Renel de-
feated Harry Glenn, who in turn beat
Luther. This race created vast en-
thusiasm
Real Society Affair.
Altogether, the meet was a grand
success and established motordrome
racing in Atlanta on the firmest sort
of basis. The very highest class of
amusement lovers patronized the at
fair, and there hasn't been such a
gathering of automobiles since Speed
way days as was packed in around
the motordrome Tuesday night.
Night racing is amazingly spectac-
ular. The lights, the music the hum

wind as the drivers tear by. the bril-

II is not within the scope of this
article to attempt any advice to cap
tains of professional teams; every
body tells them what they ought and
ought not to do Mainly / am writ
ing for the benefit Of say, newly
elected captains Of amateur teams
that are without the services of a
coach. Outside of college teams, such
mines often have an inexperienced
manager as well. and therefore the
captain can look for no help In the
proper discharge of his duties from
his manager.
Should Be Capable Player.
In the first place. the captain OF
any team should be a good ball player
for in sense. he sets the pace in
the games and his players will nat
urally pattern after him in many
ways
The captain should have sufficient
age and playing experience to give
dignity to the position. so that his
directions and advice 10 his players
viii not be taken lightly.
He should also be a man of good
nerve to insure that he viii not easily

only general Instructions can here
be outlined. but there are enough
of these which plenty of captains

these they could not have proceeded
The rights of the riparian owners
could not have been cut off by the

law gave to the United States govern

line and the bulkhead, giving them
the rights they had in law. and re-
cognizing those rights If this con-
sent had not been given, if this Act
was not passed, this bulkhead could

Mr. Ward traced what he said was
the course of the bulkhead law in
1901. saying it had been endorsed by
City Council, and after it had been
pending in Council for two weeks the
bill was introduced in the Legislature
and unanimously passed both branch

that the bill was ventilated and con-

Senator Reinhardt asked Mr.. Grant
land if City Council in 1901 endorsed
this Bulkhead Law Mr.. Grantland
replied that he did not know, and it
didn't seem to him It had anything to
do with the present situation any
way
"The present Council endorses it,
said Mr. Grantland. THE only ques-
ton now is to get back to the State
what belongs to it, We hope the Leg
islature will do what is right"
Herbert H. Ward of the Whining
ton Terminal Company, was given the
privilege of the floor.
Il give entire credit to Mr.. Grant
land in being sincere, said Mr.. Ward.
But he is mistaken in every fact and
In every principle of law on which he
bases his conclusions. In the first
place he is mistaken as to the Will
mington Terminal Company having
anything to do with the passage of
this law. 1t did not come into exis-
tence until a year or so after the pas
sage of this act"
Mr.. Ward then read a list of the
names of owners of land along the
Delaware River front prior to the
time the Wilmington Terminal Com
pany was organized. Mr. Ward said
he knew the facts under which the
bulkhead law was passed and he
wanted to give them In 1901, he
said, the United States government
made up its mind it would be wise to
build a bulkhead along the Delaware
River from Edge Moor to the mouth
Of the Christiana river to assist in
keeping the channel clear. The gov
eminent had to consider two factors
Mr.. Ward said. The factors were the
owners of the riverfront land and the
Legislature. Without the consent OF
both, it couldn't be done.
"They took two steps and, I pre-
sumo, the Government knew what II
was about" continued Mr.. Ward. cone

the mouth of ShellpOt and Mud creeks
where they flow into the Delaware.
"Tho private owners have done
everything that has been done so far
as any citizen of Wilmington has
done anything to the bulkhead.' saio
Mr.. Ward mo later than the winter
before last a letter was shown and
produced at a public meeting where
In the United States government ex-
pressly stated they hoped for the CO.
/ operation of private owners in build
ing the hulShead. The statement has
been made so many times that tho
work was stopped because It would
benefit private owners that many
people believe t. but IL isn't true"
Mr.. Ward took up the contention
made by Mr. Grantland that the land
between Cherry Island and the pro-
posed bulkhead belongs TO the State.
Mr. Ward said the State can control
navigation over the water, can regu-
late fishing and serve criminal pro-
cesses, but that is all He said he
lhad studied this question for years
and was perfectly satisfied that the
rights Of the riparian owners would
have to be protected by this act be-
fore Il could have been passed. The
repeater, he contended. would take
laway a property right which the own
ers had and which the law recog-
nizes.
81 say they have no legal right and
! say they have no moral right TO do
so" said Mr. Ward.
He explained that the Cherry Island
Marsh Association for one hundred
years have spent on river banks $780,
600, more money than the entire prop
erty would bring il put up at auction
Pany time in the past twenty-five years.
"The city has not spent a dollar 20
keep up these banks said Mr., Wrd
'and the putting up of the banks has
kept the city free from tidewator The
city owes much TO the land owners
but the landowners owe nothing To
the city"
Mr. Ward said the land OF the
Terminal Company was exempted be-
cause it is marsh land

Mr.. Ward. "This land was bought

Mr. Grantland
