Speed was sacrificed to an extent little sus-
Dected BY the spectators In the Vanderbilt cup
race by the USE OF leather non skid tires by the
American as well a. the foreign cars owing to the
damn track and the very Threatening weather.
The best tires OF this type ever made arc none TOO
durable when run at high speed, and the tire trouble
on " agneTs last round which nearly cost him the
race was due to the use of tires OF the leather non
kidding type. James \. Braden OF the Diamond
Rubber Company, whose tires were used on all
the American ears, Is authority for the statement
that every driver In the race lost much time due
10 the changing Of non -skidding tires which In all
probability would not have been lost otherwise.
fns statement Is based on the reports OF men
stationed At every foreign and American tire con
troll, T'rAcyNa great burst OF speed on his nth
round, NIst after he had changed all his tires back
TO the regular type, Is evidence OF the superior
speed OF the plain rubber tire.
