Oct. 15. Many of the followers of motor sports In this city are not of the same opinion as the Glidden Trophy Commission, who at its recent meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria, New York, commended the A. A. A.

touring committee for the efficient manner in which the tour was conducted. They say that there is considerable room for improvement in the management of next year's tour, and unless the committee takes advantage of the opportunity there will not be as many entrants as there were this year. The Glidden tour, as Is well known, has always been advertised as a pleasure, tour, but it is declared that the contestants this year, outside a few favored ones, did not have a very enjoyable trip. There is not mucl pleasure, they say. In riding through rough country all day accumulating a good appetite and a desire for a good night's sleep, only to find at the end of the day that you are obliged to appease your hunger with unappetizing food Oct.

15 Jeff Con-- an English featherweight, fought Charley Lucas, a New York lad, yesterday afternoon on a west ide pier and battered him up in a fifteen -round fight. It was at 3 o'clock when the meeting was to take place. We all met in a bum saloon over on 8th Avanue, spmewhere near 37th Street, and. waited for- the mitt artists. There was a restaurant upstairs.

a man with re grogans was the chef and-ho was as as a one-armed paper hanger with the hives. The crowd that waited was hungry and the red whiskered gent kept tossing ham and eggs into the pan so fast that you couldn't count the orders. Ovrr In a corner where the mud and an hark had accumulated as thick as a mattress, they had pitched the ring. Some of the crowd sat upon a little houte built there; others had boxes and some stood inside the little ring. Jeff O'Connell with a bunch of refined looking gentlemen, entered first.

Jeff haa a little pug nose, blue eyesjjtr.d a pretty shape. In a few minutes Lucas, who looks like a blank hand man, entered with his Sharkey-llke build and sat. (a a big upholstered -chair. They had -no stools, so each man grabbed a big chair. It was to be fifteen rounds, break clean, and the winner was to have Kid -Mtirphy as his next opponent.

Kid was Introduced, unfilled, said hello to some of the fellows and beat it back to the crowd, White Sox, 0-2-1 (Altrock and Cubs, 1-7-1 Sullivan).

"I went out into the Junipers with another fellow a year or two ago and came near never coming back, we went with a team up in Virginia, and I was playing under the names of 'Jones' or I forget which. I was pitching and the fellow who went with me was catching.

"A big Jasper came up to bat and the catcher sung out to me. "Hit him in the head." I sent up a teaser around bij neck and the next one was a high one close in. He ducked his head into it and it came near knocking the life out of him. He went to first and another one came up. "Give it to this one in the same howled the catcher.

"I did not want to hit the fellow, but the third ball I threw landed in the batter neck. He. too, took a base. The third man came up with a bat in his hand, and stopping outside the batter's Imx, warned me if I hit him he would get me with the bat. I believed him, too, and gave him four wide ones.

"Pretty soon, with the score tied, I landed on the pitcher for a home rin. and when I came across the plate the umpire yelled. 'You're out. ye cut second I had not cut the base at all and was i razy mad. The umpire said something back and 1 soaked him for fair.

He fell with his nose bleeding and stalled. I think, pretending that he was worse hurt than he really was. First thinjr I knew the crowd was after rne and I was doing a Duffy act down a cornfield nearby. The constable finally got me and they soaked me $25 for slugging the umpire. They threatened to shoot roe and cut up generally.

"Tiiey can poke all the fun they want to at these currant-bush league games, but the city don know what they are. The fellow whose name I was using went out to a town nearby to play a day or two later and before the game started the mavor walked out on the field and up to the fellow. 'We know all about he said; "we heard about your doings, and if you crook a finger in this town well fill your dirty hide so full of lead that they could use you for an anchor for a river barge." "They would have done that very trick, and the poor Innocent ballplayer was so cowed and afraid that he didn even dare to call that umpire a dog or a bonehead during the whole game. He even wanted to fight me for using his name when he got back to town. "It's all right to laugh at these bushers at long range, but ther are like a Montana cow all right when you are on horseback, but once they are after you It's to the trees or a long, swift run atid a dive into the river." BY HOTSPUR and rest your weary limbs on a hard cot located in some tent or barn.

The motorists who went on the Glidden trip were well supplied with money and willing to pay for comfortable sleeping quarters and palatable food. yet. they say. they were unable to obtain it. One factory agent- in particular is very severe In his denunciation of the treatment he received.

He started on the trip, but left after a few days when' be several of the tourists were repeatedly getting the best of the fare, while he was paying the same money and getting, to say the least, very mediocre accommodations. Another year the methods of scoring and timing the contestants will have to be remedied, and a set of regulations established that shall remain in use all through the trip. As has been stated, the trophy will remain In the possession- of the Buffalo Automobile Club, not because Percy Pierce made any better record than the other contestants who finished with a perfect score, but because the club happened to have the cup in its possession. The other perfect score men will have to be satisfied with the silver 13 Ballplayer of the day. The favorite and three other horses, were left flatfooted at the post and the race was won by an outsider In the betting.

The instant the result was known there was a wild cry of rage and the mob made a rus'a for the betting ring. The bookmakers fled In terror, while their cash boxes were emptied in a twinkling and the cashiers beaten down. Thtn a rush was made for the automobile stand and cars were stripped of tneir gasoline, which was thrown on the building and fired. From the grand stand and clubhouse a throng of women fled to their automc-mobiles, and soon the Bols de Boulogne was filled with fleeing autos. The rioters swermed over the place, beating back firemen and gendarmes, and were about to attack the clubhouse and stables, when a regiment of troops arrived.

Then, after a fierce battle, tne rioters were driven back and tne re maining buildings saved. WITH THE BOWLERS. Following is the results of the last roll of the Notch Bowii NOTCH A.

(Special Telegram to The Enquirer.) CHICAGO, Oct. 15. The Chicago American League baseball players are the champions of the world, for yesterday, before a crowd of 19,000 baseball fans, they won the game, the fourth out of six played, and captured 75 per cent, of the money given the players, as well as the dia mond badges emblematic of the world's championship. The scene after the Americans were declared victors has seldom if ever been noted on a baseball, diamond, for despite the fact that t-he Cubs were the favorites with the big" crowd present the excellent playing of the Americans compelled the fans to give them cheer after cheer and as they broke on the grounds they lifted winners and losers on their shoulders and carried them about the grounds.

President Murphy of the Nationals. from his box, arose and gave the winners great praise in a neat little speech, ending by calling for three cheers for his rivals. They were given with a will. Tonight most of the players are re cuperating from the great Dlayiner ordeal and are getting a little of the fun out of life that has been denied them for several months past. The score of the last and winning game is as follows: AMERICANS.

Time 1:55. Umpires O'Loughlin and Johnstone, FOOTBALL. Oakdales Won. The Oakdale football team defeated the Rochester A. C.

at Columbia Park yesterday, by a score of 40 to 0. The visit-ore were outclassed and put up a poor de- xense. juven tne new rules reauiring ten yards for three downs did not save them. They evidently underestimated the strength of the local team, which has shown great improvement since last Sunday. The changes in the team, placing Lents at tackle and the danne McCann at center and with the star of all football players.

Shea, behind the line the team was faster and stronger than ever. The work of Shea in yesterday's contest was brilliant. He sprinted around the end twice for touchdowns, once for forty and once for fifty yards and used the straight arm lor mterrerence, clearing his opponents as they approached him. His side partner, Maier, was also a star in the game. He did most of the punting.

Capt. Wallace with Burke and Tewksbury made some long runs on double passes and the plucky little end put up nls usual game on defense. Lentz and Ackerman at tackles were good ground gainers and Kiants on defense. Hughes at quarterback ran the team bet ter than a ween ago and fullback Clifford played well. The game was open and there was plenty of punting.

O'Connell who wears a swell left began to comb the features of Lucas and soon had him covered with blood The latter was much shorter than the Briton and tossed a looser right around as though he didn't care what it hit.

Jeff fed him rights and lefts until his opponent's nose began to resemble the beak worn by Cyrano de Bergerac, and kept pelting. It went along this way until the sixth and then O'Connell stung his man with right in the pit of. the stomach. Lucas folded up, his knees bent but he hold on. He was covered with blood but stuck the round out by following' the advice of Belladonna Plaster and har-triner on.

Again in the twelfth he made Joe Grim look like a sickly child. He took by actual count 10 on the beezer, 16 on the Jaw, 14 on the ear, 7 in the front and 12 on the ribs. He was as hard to down as a big pill and only fell once from weakness. not a punch. On with the fight.

The last three rounds were slaughter. Lucas reeled around the ring, blood dripping from his mouth and nose and he was taking the licking of his life. O'Connell did not rest a minute, but belted him from side to side as though he was a bag, and in the last round whaled him to a standstill. It is doubtful whether Lucas could have gone three minutes more. He was a sight as he left the ring but O'Connell hadn't a mark.

must take Into consideration that but two of these games were played In Buffalo, while twice that number were played in the Ohio city. There Is no question but Buffalo lays away over Columbus as a. baseball city, but even with the fans here nil but crazy over the showing made by the Bisons, it would be asking almost tco much to expect them to go out in the rainy, marrow-chilling weather which was on here at the time the games were scheduled. It was even worse in Columbus. There is.

of course, an advantage in a team playing on its own grounds, and it was going just a bit too far to expect the Bisons, who plainly showed that they outclassed their American League rivals, to play three times as many games in Columbus as they would or did play in the Bisons' home city. The offer of ia $1,000 side bet was the only legitimate way for the clubs to show their worth, and at the same time take a chance of winning or losing on the series. But at that a commission should harlle the game. Players, like prize flgnters, are all right to play ball or to box, but when it comes down to business dealing, most of them have heads about the size of a peanut. Young Friedel After Eddie Kelly.

JOHN FRIEDEL. the wll-known foot runner and a brother of the featherweight boxer Kid Friedel, who has boxed so many times in amateur contests in Buffalo and who cleaned them all up at the Coast last year, called at The Enquirer office this morning and said: "I know that Eddie Kelly is a good; boxer, a clever boy and he deserves every bit of credit that Is coming to htrn as a Buffalo but Eddie does not have to go to New York to get opponents, as my brother Is here 5 JJ'e'Sh' and can in my opinion defeat him any time that they get together. At any rate I am willing to make a match with him at 118 to 122 pounds ringside, which I understand Is Kelly's weight and if necessary will put up a side bet. My brother won the amateor championship in Buffalo, Fort Erie and other places several times and in he championships in 'Frisco did likewise. He is anxious to meet Kelly and as soon as the latter's match Is over with OToole.

win or lose, I will be after him to make a match with my brother." Arrangements have all but been made to put on these two boys at a private show to be held in a few weeks If the match can be made between the -two Buffalo featherweights. hahagerTbarrow buysjii hotel And the Toronto Baseball Club May, Play Under a New Leader Next Year. Toronto, Oct. 15. The Torontoi Baseball club is likely to play tinder a new man ager next season.

While nothing has been. aone in matter. Manager Barrow this week closed a deal wtiereby he will become the owner and proprietor of the Windsor Hotel, comer of Church and Richmond streets, and the deal has passed the License Commissioners subject to the usual ten days advertising. In all likelihood Mr. Barrow will find his "hotel all he can handle.

jPresident McCfeff rey of the Toronto rlub, when seen this uornmg, stated that his company had not consllrri ih. mat- ter at all, and he did not know how they would feel on the matter, nor had he bim- guns uiio me question. Meanwhile Mr. Barrow will et his hotel, and it. is safe to predict that the Toronto bad! club will have a new mana- iur ue season.

How Sebring balked and preferred outlaw company to playing with a championship team Is history and it is a certainty the player Is more regret ful of his misdeeds than either the Chicago public or club is. For a time it looked as If Cincinnati had the better of the trade, the net results of which were Steinfeldt in exchange for Weimer, but results talk, and results have proved It at least an even DreaK. Steinfeldt has stopped the gap at third base splendidly and led the team in hitting, while Weimer has been the mainstay of the Cincinnati pitching staff. Both clubs are more than satisfied. The next step in the campaign was the December trade, whereby Chicago gave Brooklyn four men in exchange for Jimmy Sheckard.

This deal raised a storm of protest from the west sld-ers for everyone of the Chicago quartetteCasey, McCarthy, Maloney and Brlggs had hosts of friends out there. But with its other deals made Chicago had no place for any of the three fielders, and was well stocked. with better pitchers than Buttons. Itr reality, the deal was Maloney. for Scheckard, and events have shown the wisdom of Manager Chance's choice, for Sheckard has made the Jans forget Maloney.

The catching department was next to receive attention, and was at almost the same time as the Sheckard deal, by the exchange of O-Neil. a hardworking catcher, and Pfeffer. a promising, but inexperienced pitcher, for Pat Moran. of the Boston team. Moran, J1 an inferior club, had been overlooked by everyone except Chance.

CHICAGO'S campaign for the National League pennant a-nd the right to battle for the championship began consid erably over a year ago, and more than six months before the playing schedule called for the start of the championship race; indeed, weeks be fore the finish of the season of 1905, says the Chicago Tribune. From the time President Murphy se cured an option on the Chicago National League Club, which was months before the actual transfer was made, he began planning the campaign of 1906 with Frank 1 Chance, who already had been marked as permanent manager of the team by his success in handling the players during Frank Selee's sickness. The problem of building up the strong team which was their legacy from Messrs. Hart and Selee into a pennant winner was a large one, but it was not complex.

It was difficult but fairly simple. All that was necessary to do was to put together a team vhich could beat out the New York Giants, who had made a runaway race of for two seasons. The strength or the Giants practically was a known quantity, and that was amost the-only element in the problem. Pittsburg had to be reckoned with as an outsider, dui no other club in the National League promised to show championship caliber. To beat tnose uiants, meraore, was the mountain the embryonic president and manager set out to climb away back In August of last year.

How well they have succeeded every one knows now, and, looking backward, the task seems easier than it was. Looking over the material in his team of 1905. which finished a good third. Manager Chance put his fingers on the weak spots in a Jiffy. More strength was needed on third base and in the A stronger substitute than John O'Neil was needed behind the bat in case of injury or sickness to Kllng.

The rest of the team was of the right caliber, and particularly strong In pitchers. There was a large quantity of fair material to use In the way of barter and exchange. Steinfeldt Strengthened Team. The first step was to deal with Cincinnati whereby Chicago gave the Reds a crack left handed pitcher in Jake Weimer in exchange for Harry Steinfeldt and Jimmy Sebring. By this one stroke of the pen it was expected to strengthen both third base and the out- HOW THE CUBS WON THE HAG ONCE again are the American League ballplayers the champion of the world at the national game.

Yesterday before a crowd of nearly 20,000 people they defeated the Cubs which were held "at prohibitive odds before the playing season opened and took the series. After the contest was ended the crowd surged about the players of both teams and cheered them to the echo. President Murphy from his box called for? three cheers for the winners, although he Is the owner of the losing team. He paid a neat compliment to the players and he in turn with his Cubs was also given a great hand. The result of the series proves conclusively that the American League as a whole is a much stronger organization than Its National- League rivals, for 'the Cubs- ran away with the pennant in that league and made a world's record in games won while the Sox bad the hardest battle ever known in a big league to win from lte rivals.

The- Sox appeared to outplay the Cubs in the series in every way, and outbattei them especially about 10 to 1. By- the way, the admirers of Mr. Hearst in this State can and do take the winning of the Chicago "White Sox as a good omen for them. The Cubs, as were overwhelming favorites In the betting, as good as 3 to 1 being offered against the Americans. That did not stop the-latter team from winning, however.

It Is said although no one has men any of the money as yet --that the tame odds are being offered -gainst Mr. Hearst In the coming election, for Governor In this State. But luv matter what the odds, and the big-er ti- better. It looks as if Mr. Hearst i as su'e winner, as sure as the Americans -vere as wlnntrs over the Cubs, i By All Means a Commission.

It is-doubtful whether there will be any post-season games next year be- tween the winners of the American Association and Eeastern League for the Class A minor leagues championship, owing to the unsatisfactory ending of the series this fall between Columbus and Buffalo. The two clubs, rtprepcntlng.tho association and East-trn League respectively, had agreed to )' a series of seven games for the games were played it one being a tie and the other a victory for the Bisons. The two teams then went to Columbus, where the Bisons again won a game mul cold and rain prevented a con-tlMunnee of the series for three days. Then rnme a Columbus victory, and Bi the Sunday following. October 7th, was played, each team whirling a That made it 3 to 2 In Buffalo's favor.

The Euffalo players left for home after the double-header, claiming that It would not t.av them to remain, as it was too cold for people to turn Out to witness ball games. Tl'y ignored the agreement to plav out. the seven games, but when the Columbus maiagcment threatened to keen the Buffalo team's share of the receipts JiTT Buffalo captain came back -with a challenge to play for $1,000 a side, the winner to take nil. The play was all right in a way, h-it there should have been no neees-xitv of playing for $1,000 a Bide after having agreed a series ot seven games for the championship. The affair seems to have been la the mils 'of the players, and made a mes of The people would have preferred to see the teams fight it out and have a champion team, no matter which won.

but there being no money in sight the players refused to play. If such series of games are arranged i-i the future and there Is no rcajort whv they should not be arran-d then the officials of the leagues Interested should take hold and handle the e-Hmf. the same as the national com pn-eion handles the world's championship series between the major league clubs.

In the second round, Lewis got inside of Willie Fitzgerald's guard, and, sending down his risrht. hit Fitzgerald on the danger spot. The punch was delivered so quickly that even those in the immediate vicinity of the ringside scarcely knew what was coming off. Willie went down for the limit, and showed no particular Inclination to get up. Getting up.

Fit was visibly groggy, and t-as compelled to stall a bit. Lewis, however, seeing his advantage, was after fm- Aa soon as Fit assumed a standing position, Lewis walked into him. Again Fits went to the floor. By this time Lewis was carried away with, excitement and when Young Erne tried to throw water on his back. Lewis, forgetting himself, essayed to kick through the ropes in the direction of Erne's chops.

This was entirely out of but before Fit still groggy, had a chance to get up, the bout was stopped by the officials. In a Class ii i i-w jiwu uui greenwoods for Ortniir 23d ot Board. of Supervisor, I Address chaUengeinS LuTfceyT A aer. No. EarL Place, ctty.
