Autonlobilinq

Walter Christie had another acct
dent Monday while practising on the
Vanderbilt cup course, and his no.
horsepower racing car is so badly
smashed up that it cannot be repaired
in time for the elimination trials next
Saturday. Yesterday morning he had
trouble with the steering gear of his
car and ran off the road. He struck
telegraph pole. slightly damaging his
car.
He had worked most of last night
on his famous racing car and had it
in shape for practice. On his first
round Of the course, while running at
the sharp turn half mile north OF
krus's corner, Christie lost control
OF his car, DASHED across the ditch
and crashed into a telegraph pole.
Both the driver and his mechanician
Louis Stand were thrown out, but SUI
fered no injuries except few scratch
es and bruises.
The car was badly damaged, the
front axel being broken. and the mot
or which is placed at the front of the
car, transversely and driving direct
on the axel, was also damaged, and
the frame was broken. 1t will be i'm
possible to repair Christie's car by
next Saturday. A report states that
Christie was steering with one hand
when the accident occurred. He said
after the accident that he would strip
one of his front drive touring models
and use it in the elimination trials.
Phenomenal time was made in prac-
tice today by George Robinson driv-
ing the 90-horsepower Apperson. 1t
was the first time that Robinson had
the racing car out, and he was clock
ed on his second round in 20 minutes.
This is the fastest round made yet,
and is an average of better than sixty
miles an hour-remarkably fast for
the course. Robinson's first round
was timed in "a minutes.
Other fast rounds were: Tracy,
Locomobile, IS minutes: Lyle. Pope
Toledo, 81 minutes; John Haynes,
Haynes, 40 minutes; Beldon. Prayer
Miner. 40 minutes. and Lee Prayer
and Lawell. Frayer-Millers, each Al

EGG PLANTS
GRATED ON
TOMATOES
Special to The Evening Times.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2O.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, since knocking the
props out from under the meat in
dustry and thus boosting the diet of
the vegetarians, has suddenly been
confronted with the unsolicited oppor-
tunity of having his permanent fame
assured. This is promised by his
name being given to a new tomato,
which has just been produced by
vegetarian and enthusiastic admirer
of the presidents stand on the pack
ing question. Consequently it is
expected that the Roosevelt" tomato
will soon be as popular on tables as
the Burbank" potato.
From the little town of Dearborn,
Mich, comes the latest compliment to
the president. David Boyer has sent
to the president a basket of the largest
and finest tomatoes that ever made
their way into the white house.
Accompanying the vegetables was a
note, in which Mr.. Boyer confided that,
although the vegetables he was send
ing might properly be called a tomato,
as it more nearly resembles that than
any other vegetable, the secret of the
rare vegetable lay in the fact that it
was a product of tomato grated
on an egg plant. Mr.. Boyer did not
state what his exact object was in
making this peculiar graft, but APP
parently he had confidence that the
president would find them a palatable
dish.
II wish you would give them trial."
wrote MIR. Boyer to the president,
land If you find them good, desire to
have them called the Roosevelt to-
matoes. Hoping that you may try
them and let me know how they
are, remain,
Yours very truly,
"DAVID BEYER,"
The basket of egg plant tomatoes
was forwarded from the white house
to Oyster Bay.

Thrilling
ADVENTURES
EXPERIENCED

Thrilling adventures are being ex-
perienced by the surveyors engaged in
marking the boundary line on the
coast of the Gulf of Alaska. about two
hundred miles above Sitka, according
to reports to the Coast and Goodetic
survey. Frederick Morse, chief of the
party at Yakutat, has informed the
survey that three Of the four SUBJ
parties under his charge will finish
their work by the end of this month,
but that the party working in the
Alsek valley Is experiencing unusual
difficulties and the men are often in
peril of their lives. They are making
an effort to get to the SUBMITS of the
peaks between the Alsek valley and
the fiat country west of the river to
complete their surveys. The only
method of reaching this country is by
water from the coast through the
canyon of the Alsek valley. Mr.. Morse
reports that in July party, led by
Mr.. Blackwelier, started through the
canyon and had got past the worst
place when suddenly half a mountain
Slid down upon them and their canoe
"oo ShuAou, Tie party narrowly eS-
Gaping with their lives. With their
provisions all gone, the party had a
hard time getting back to the coast.
Another attempt was made in Au-
gust when Mr.. Brabazon and six men
started through the canyon in canoe.
Mr.. Brabazon, attempting to dodge the
sliding hill which had given his pre-
decessor SO much trouble, risked pad
ding his canoe into close proximity
to two discharging glaciers on the OPP
posite bank. He had passed the glaci-
ers safely when current seized the
canoe and drifted 1t directly under the
sliding hill, where it lodged. While
the men were attempting to free the
boat rock weighing several tons
came laundering down toward them.
Luckily for the men the rock. when
only few feet above, met an obstruc-
ton and split in two, so that the frag-
ments fell on either side of the boat.
The surveyors are trusting to get
through eventually with the aid of
Indians who are familiar with the op-
erations of the glaciers and can tell
when they are likely to be dangerous.

Football

Head Coach Bob Torrey was disap-
pointed when the candidates for this
years Pennsylvania football team re-
ported upon Franklin field yesterday
afternoon to begin work for the com

Work Fighting Odd Fires

Like wise man he curbed his cur
iosity and did not look up, with the
pleasant result that he was very little
injured. On emerging from beneath
the greasy current, however, he look
ed very much like a living waxwork.
When at last we had the fire in hand
there was almost quarter of an acre
of grease several feet thick on the
spot where factory had so recently
stood. This was probably the biggest
grease spot" the world has ever seen.
Last spring we were called out to
fire which had started in big meat
market, and there We were met by
an enemy in the shape of-ammonia.
1t seemed that all the refrigerators
in the market were kept cold by one
ammonia plant, the fluid being deliv-
cred through an inch pipe which was
connected with the immense main sup
pl ytank. The pipe had not been used
for some time, and on the day of the
fire an employee in one of the butchers
shops turned the handle of the air
pipes, which started the ammonia
through the tube, and. without waiting
to see the result, went back to his
store.
INC oAAAoAAd pOuIcu IuIOu6u Tie
unused tube so fast that it froze and
broke. Then when this was discov-
cred the fumes had so impregnated
the air that it was impossible to get
near the stopcock and turn it off.
Time and time again different men
made rushes for the stopcock, but
were unable to reach it.
Meantime the fumes had spread
through the entire market and drove
the tenants of the different shops into
the street, and as the ammonia rose
in the air it enveloped the market in
mist like smoke. Then a hurry call
was sent for us, and when we arrived
we tried to get at the tank, but we're
unable to stand the fumes.
Failing in this. we ran out several
lines of hose and pumped half doz-
en- streams of water over the ammonia
plant, and under cover of this arch of
water we crawled on hands and knees
and thus managed to turn off the STOP
cock. But it was fully an hour before
1t was possible to enter the building.
When we came to reckon the damage
we found that only the livestock had
suffered. Five thousand chickens had
succumbed to the fumes. seventeen
turtles, nine hundred pigeons and
about five hundred crabs.

Baseball

THE tale of Three men in Boat"
might be the title OF story written
by Messrs. O'Dea. Treadway and
Schurch. the baseball players who are
now on their way to take rp claims
near the Canadian border.
Holding down claims is a rather
novel occupation for baseball players
during the winter months. but it is
one that is likely to prove popular if
the Duluth players make success of
it.
The first stage of their journey was
a trip by boat to Beaver Bay. and it
proved disastrous. Owing to the Sc
we're strom they We're unable to leave
the vessel at Beaver Bay, and had to
go on to Port Arthur.
Fagin tells the narrowing expert
ence in letter to the sporting editor
OF the Herald received this morning.
We had everything ready to get
OFF and can tell you it would have
been welcome relief, not that any
one was sick. except Tread. but he was
sick enough for the whole bunch, but
the constant pounding and rolling was
wearing a little on us. But there was
w OS Ao iSlAOi III lLdl Hc NlIlu
had changed and was blowing right
off shore and. as they would have to
take us off in a small boat they were
afraid to tackle it. so they passed that
place of Beaver Bay like pay train
does a tramp. Tread said that he
couldn't get any sicker than he was
and he would just as soon take a
chance that way as to stay where he
was. but they wouldn't listen to him.
Then he wanted to walk across that
mile of tumbling water. but We talked
him out of that. Coming into Port Ar
thur we struck reef and Schurch, the
Human Truck Horse" got into a
small boat and dragged it off with the
help of two other similar animals
which We're on board.
This morning Treadway put in his
first appearance on deck and told
those who didn't see him that he had
had an elegant time. but to see him
one would think he had been to a
funeral or some such jolly affair.
Capt. O'Dea has been the life of our
party. Duluth Herald.

1t is not the flames alone we dread,
said a fireman of twenty years SER
vice to the writer recently, for in
many cases danger comes from other
sources quite as alarming. The fall
ing walls, the collapse of floors, the
explosion of unknown substances, etc.,
are as much to be dreaded as the
flames themselves, while at times we
are met with enemies unusual and
venemous which add interest and eX-
element to the life of fire fighter.
The other day. for instance. we were
called out to one of the queerest fires
have ever attended. 1t occurred in
siX-story building, and took a regi-
ment of firemen, with quarter mile of
apparatus, to get it under. 1t was re-
markable from the fact that, though
the flames were neither spectacular
nor dangerous, there were showers of
molten syrup. which, falling like rain,
threatened every moment to pre-
serve" us in way hardly to our 'lik-
ing. The building was sweets fac
tory, and the stock being stored on
every floor, the stuff quickly melted
and the molten sugar became very
real danger. Several firemen were
scalded and some men had their faces
badly burned. The final flames which
arose were startlingly beautiful. They
contained every color of the rainbow,
and the sight was one shall never
forget.
Then few months ago we had to
fight a strenuous fire which broke out
in waxworks factory. There were
between three and four hundred life
sized figures in the place, and when
we arrived the flames had taken such a
firm hold that it was impossible to
save any Of the valuable "lives." Be-
sides the figures there were tons Of
wax and other inflammable materials
stored away, and very soon perfect
Geluge of grease began to fall.
The fire and birthstone" of olden
days could not have been worse, and
it was so continuous that you would
have thought every ounce of grease
the world ever contained had been
gathered together to make that catar-
act of boiling fat. One man only was
injured, however. about a hundred
weight of stuff falling upon him. For
tunately his helmet protected him, for
as soon as the greasy substance struck
his headgear it glanced off like rain
on pagoda and only few drops
found their mark.

Bowling

The tour of the All-American Bowl
Ing Trio throughout the United States,
Mexico and Canada, announced some
time ago to begin October /, has been
postponed until later date, accord
ing to letter received from Sam
Karpf.
Although large number of applica-
tions for dates were received from
prominent bowling centers, majority
OF the bowlers and bowling alley pro-
prietors expressed themselves that bet
ter results could be obtained if the
trip was taken later in the season.
The reason given was that a visit
from the trio at this time. or even two
months hence, would seriously inter-
fere with the tournament plans and
the bOwlers and also likely to en-
danger the opportunities of a majority
of the bOwlers toward trip to the
national convention and tournament of
the American Bowling congress, which
is to be held at st. Louis during the
month of February, 1907. Karpf has
acquiesced to the wishes of the bowl
ers and will, therefore, not arrange to
start on the proposed tour until early
in March.
