Mr. Pulliani was so worked up over the ques- tion yesterday that he forced the issue by nak- a long statement in reply to the one made by P.

T.

NEW-YORK DAISY TUESDAY, AXI A DANIELS IN RARE FORM SHOWS SPEED IX TASK, New Records Not Allowed at Opening of Public Bath. Charles IE. Daniels, the world's champion swimmer, gathered in more honors last night at the opening of the new public bath at 23d street and Avenue A.

The New York Athletic Club crack competed in the 50-yard, and the 1100-yard handicaps, and although he was unplaced in the former and only got second in the other he swam record time. Unfortunately, however, the marks made by cannot be accepted as records, for the reason that the requirements were not complied with. In order for a record to count the three timers must be directly at the finish, and this was not the case last night. As a matter of fact, Daniels in his first trial heat of the 59-yard did 24 3-5 seconds, which beats his old mark of 25 i-S seconds, with one turn, made at St. Louis.

In the 3W-yanl he swam the distance in 2 mm Rnd seconds. This necessitated right turns. His accepted record for the distance is minutes and 151-5 seconds, made in a tank with seven turns. There were six trial heats and two semifinals in the fifty-yard handicap, and it needed only a glance at the allowances to show that Daniels was ashed to do too much. It was in the second heat that the champion swam in record time.

His wonderful crawl stroke all but caught C. Hallstem. who had eight seconds handicap. In his semi-final heat Daniels was unplaced. G.

South, a New York Athletic Club man. won the final heat. In his trial heat of the 200-yard handicap Daniels swam a magnificent race, overtaking man after man ami just catching Ray Mulvey, of the Bath Beach Swimming Association, who had twenty-four seconds, in the last few strokes. The final heat resulted in another great race, but Daniels failed to overtake J. H.

Rellly. of the Weal Side T. M. C. A.

Reilly had fourteen seconds handicap, hut he beat Daniels by only a few feet. The lattery tlnm in the final was not so fast as in the trial heat. That almost invincible water polo team of the New York Athletic Club again demonstrated its rfarn hv defeating an all-New Torit combination. Two halves were played, and from ihe time Reid the Brat goal for his side th" points followed in rapid The final score was io iroais to 0 In favor of New York There was a big crowo 1 present. In fact, spectators were so numerous that for a time it was next to Impossible for the swimmers tn get near the tank.

Finally one of the contestants who managed to squeeze through flopped into the water with splash that gave good many a free shower. After that the visitors were more respectful when the swimmers asked for "gangway." The usual delays attending opening nights kept things back, and the first heat of the 100-yard novice was not started until 9 o'clock. The tank is sixty-eight feet tons, with' a depth of eight feet at one end and six feet at the other. Considerable amuaement tfsuiteii the rft'oi's of the contestanta In tilting contest spectator remarked, with more truth than poetry, "Them things is hard to stay on" "Sure, thej Ottght to fail companion.

The Morningside men had the advantage of playing on their home court, but the first ten minutes Dartmouth held Columbia down to a score of one point. Then the New Hampshire team went to pieces for a few minutes, and when it recovered Columbia had made ten paints and gained a safe lead. The half ended with the score 12 to 2 in favor of Columbia. The second half Dartmouth played better, but could make only a slight gain. The game was remarkably clean, the only man who indulged in rough tactics being Schildmiller.

the Dartmouth left guard, who was constantly in trouble with Melitzer and had ten fouls called on him. Dartmouth got only live free tries for goal on account of fouls, but Brady was able to make only one count. KiendKcaged three out of fifteen tries for Columbia. The game opened with the ball passing rapidly up and down the with neither side able to score. Finally the Columbia captain, made try.

Columbia began to play a quick passing game, and the half ended with tie sca.e to 2 In favor of Hie home, team.

The second half was faster and rougher than the first period, but poor shooting kept both from scoring. although they had plenty of chances. Brady, a Dartmouth forward, about the middle of the half, got the ball on a pass from Burns and made a pretty basket from the centre of the field, but the goal was not allowed, as Burns had received the l.all from Lang out of and it was brought back ard given to Coruasi. the Columbia right guard Melltz.r got the ball from Cerussi and scored from under the basket.

TIMELY AUTO TOPICS. WANT DRIVERS LICENSED. Foreigners Eligible to Handle Cars in Races at Savannah. Edward Traphagan. secretary, of the Society of Automobile Engineers, whose headquarters are In the Arcade Building, at No.

1947 Broadway, laumd a statement yesterday advocating the passage of a bill in the State legislature making it compulsory for a chauffuer to secure a license to drive a car. He said: "Most of our members are master mechanics, and scores of them are old locomotive engineers of experience. It Is. our earnest desire to secure the passage of a bill in the state legislature making it absolutely necessary for a chauffuer to cure, a state license. As it is now.

oarers and amateur chauffeurs (stoters) who cannot even handle a monkey wrench, may send their names, ail and a small fee to Albany and receive in return badge bearing a number. bricklayers helper or a cobbler's apprentice may thus Secure a number and have their names 1 although he or they never have, ridden in a motor car or automobile of any sort or make. They need knew nothing of the. mechanism of a machine. They need undergo no examination.

They need not even as hi Albany to register but run "write from their bajMShsp cr slaughterhouse, and provided the fee is inclosed, in application, 1,, and behold: they are. duly automobile motor car is the most and dangerous vehicle on the road. It is as bad. in inexperienced hands, as the Juggernaut Nero days, It is these novices who maim and kill chauffeur should be a mechanic, just as is the locomotive engineer. He should be able to take apart and put together his machine as correctly does the watchmaker a The average novice has to telephone or telegraph for a repairer whenever his machine goes wrong.

The racing rules governing the Savannah Mock car contest, to be held near Savannah. on March IS and 19. admit foreign as well as American drivers, despite the report that foreign drivers would be barred. -I cannot understand how such a report eovM have gained credence," -aid Frank G. Webb a member of racing board of the American Automobile Association, "except, because these tentative rules were, thought to haw been approved by the racing and technical boards of the American Automobile Association.

"To place such a barrier in the rules governing the Savannah contest, especially in vt3V of the fact that the races include only stock would he a fatal mistake, just as the writer in a morning newspaper says in criticising the supposed The truth of the matter Is that tentative rules were made last Wednesday, in which one article reads. cars entered in this contest shall ha BBOBnad by drivers and mechanicians who are citizens of the United States." This clause was striken rut. "The rules as adopted by the racing and technical boards of the American Automobile Association to govern the Savannah contest will be ready for publication to-morrow, superseding the tentative rules which caused the misunderstanding. A new automobile measure, generally known as the uniform motor vehicle bill, will be introduced at Albany shortly. The essential features of this bill are based on the present motor vehicle law, passed on May 3.

with new provisions as to speed and a departure in the way of an annual registration fee based on a sliding scale, probably according to weight, the total from which will go toward th- maintenance of the state highways. The so-called uniform motor vehicle hill is the one drafted by CSiarles Thaddeus Terry, of the lcglslathe board of the American Automobile Association. It has been before the pittilic some time, bring featured in the American Automobile Association yearbook and otherwise brought to the attention of motorists. This bill has been carefully drawn.
