Morgan Believes the
Abandonment of Big
Auto Races is Bad

NEW YORK, oct. 25.-"The abandon
ment OF the two best known national
automobile speed contests, the gold cup
to most OF the followers OF automobile
racings' said W. J. Morgan. one OF the
pioneer promoters OF speed contests. re-
Gently Morgan, who Is now completely
retired from contest promotion work. IL
OF the opinion that the above contests
should not be allowed to die and that
Il was great mistake that active mis-
sionary work had not been done In suf-
ficient volume 10 make the running OF
the races possible.
THE statement made by the Officers OF
the Savannah Automobile club that au-
tomobile contests had degenerated into q
money-making proposition may or may
not be true said Morgan "It is quite
true that Indianapolis placed the sport
on purely commercial basis. Just as
the conductors OF successful horse races
have done for many years. There is no
particular disgrace IN money being made
In sport. provided the sport is clean and
entirely on the square. All sport is more
or less dependent on what II known az
gate receipts except IN the case OF, say.
an American cup race. where miliionaires
build the competing boats and then Il is
the pleasure craft that carry the crowds
and make the money.
Possibly the nearest'to complete anna
teuI1sm in automobile contests occurred
when l gave the Florida Beach races
under the auspices OF the Florida East
Coast Automobile association. Most OF the
prizes were donated by prominent motor,
lists and there were no gate receipts
charged because you could not charge
unless you fenced the entire beach in
besides II was federal property.
THE geratest amateur drivers OF tn,
day were down there. including W. X
Vanderbilt. jr. II. l.. Bowden. Boston
w, Gould Brokaw. Frank Croker, Georg,
w. Young and others. These amateuri
faded away before the onrush OF profes
siOhal factory drivers. as is always IN,
case where the professional Is pittet
against the amateur.
II believe that automobile racing car
be revived by again placing II on TN,
basis that Il occupied during the Florids
races and In this case there had bette
be strictly amateur division formeS
and some OF the large cups transferred
to that class for competition. The profes
slonRl or factory representative can. o
course. be IN the professional division

Wolgast Now Wants
to Match Abilities
With Willie Ritchie

NEW YORK. Oct 25.-Ad Wolgast is
once more on the trail OF Willie Ritchie.
Taking his recent victory over his old
foe, Battling Nelson, as an excuse the
Michigan Wildcat has come out with
another challenge in which he outdoes
Freddie Welsh in ranting about Ritchie's
matchmaking methods. The Milwaukee
Promoters have announced that they will
make Ritchie a big offer for a ten-round
bout which he cannot afford to pass up.
Wolgasts speed and endurance In his
bout with Nelson at Milwaukee were a
surprise to many who thought he was en-
tirely through as a fighter. The energy
with which Wolgast trained for the bout
was even more surprising. ana accounts
for his good showing. Wolgast hates the
grind of training. His laxness in pre-
pairing himself for his battles has al
ways been his greatest handicap But
his intense desire TO humble his old rival
aroused his ambition as nothing else
could do. Reports from his camp were
TO the effect that he was showing more
zest for his work than ever before.
Every morning he ran miles on the
road, something he had neglected 70 do
for previous bouts. In the gymnasium
he failed his sparring partners with an
earnestness entirely missing on other oe-
easions. Wolgast accounted for his en-
ergy by saying that he felt more like
his old self than at any time since his
operation for appendicitis. But the facs
that all his pride was aroused acted as
stimulant ana caused him to work
harder than he would have done had rs
opponent been any other than Nelson.
