While base ball never does ter than fair there, assoclation foot ball booms. While nowhere else in America does cycle racing flourish, Nowark has for years and years sup- ported a first-class racetrack and has made .a milllonaire of Its .astute owner.

Furthermore, we haven't any of what the British call gentleman ama- teurs. There s not in America today a single amateur motor car racing man who owns and drives his car solely for the excitement of doing so and with no regard for cash returns. We hang up fat purses for profes. slonels to do our racing for us while We take our thrills expensively but comfortably and safely from a vant- age point in a luxurious grandstand. From the very beginning of the gotor era, England has maintained at Brookland a perfectly appointed motordrome . where racing is done largely by sportemen driving their own cars solely for the glory of win- ning. John Shillington Prince, him- self an Englishman and the first pro- fessional cycle champion of America, now proposes to build an up-to-date motordrome at Port Newark and tempt once more to popularise teur motor car racing in the The experiment will be an Interesti and also an expensive one.
