FOUR CIRCUITS FOR TRIALS.
American Vanderbilt Cup Entrants to Have

After having announced last week that
the American elimination trials were to be
the same distnoe as the contest for the Van
derbilt cup itself. the cup commission made
radical change in its plans last night at .
meeting at the Automobile Club Of America.
The meeting was called to draw lots to
determine the order OF starting for the twelve
cars which have been entered for the race
and 70 give the entrants an opportunity to
nominate the drivers OF their cars. The
change In the distance OF the trials was made
SO as to cause as little inconvenience as pos
sible to the people who make daily use OF the
no ads included in the cup course.
The folio wing formal announcement was
"Reco gnizing that two long races coming
30 close together might cause considerable
mission decided that the elimination event
for the American cars would consist, Of only
four circuits OF the course. ll3n miles, and

to work harder than pu silists. The public does
not realize this. but II Is 80. A fighter no

they were as sour as vinegar. and
we had been keeping our eyes open for
sugar to sweeten them. But how -
