ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. April 2T.-Walter

days meeting of the Atlantic City Automo-
bile Club on the Ventnor beach yesterday.
With ten thousand spectators cheering him
Christie piloted his direct drive machine
past the wire scarcely two feet ahead of the
Vanderbilt cup winner, driven by Guy
Vaughn. Neither car reached record speed,
Christie's time being 40 2-5 seconds and the
other a mere trifie more.
The meeting of these two was In the race

heat Roberts passed billiard and Rob-
inson. In the second heat Christie man.
aged to lead. both making such good time
however. as to push the other competitors
out of the race. In the final Christie held
a lead of over length until within a few
yards of the wire. and the finish was so
close that Hiliiard passed Christie just after
the finish gun had been fired.
The crowd. made smaller than Wednesday
by the cold wind that swept from the west
and should have assisted the drivers In
their unsuccessful reach for records, was
again enthused to the cheering point when
the intrepid Mrs. Joan Newton Cuneo
landed a winner in the first class of the
day. Another woman driver. Mrs. HI. Err

COOLEY FELT
LIKE A HERO

An amusing story on old Dick" Cooley IS
told by Davy Jones OF the Detroits.
Il never saw a crowd laugh SO hard as 1t
did in Chicago one day while Dick was do
ing one of his famous sprints round the dia
mond for Boston, says Jones. . Dick was
the first man up in the game and he hit the
first ball pitched on a line out toward my
field. l sprinted for all L had in me, going
back and off to the side, and, as luck would
have it, just got the bali in one hand
"At the time Cooley was busy turning
first base. He gave a glance, saw / was
still on the rum hadn't had time to slow
down--and dug for second, thinking GER
tainly that the ball was past me. Well,
saw the joke and 1 kept running, too.
Cooley, turning second base, saw me,
far out in the field, throw the ball to an
infielder who was obviously going to relay
1t in Poor Dick passed third and dug for
the plate like a wild man. He hit the dirt
at the finish. making an excellent slide and
just beating the ball.
And how the crowd did yell. Cooley
thought at first they were applauding him
for his grand drive. great sprint and noble
slide. but some one put him next to what
the din meant, and he was grouchy at me
for a week.

the top of the stadium. O'Connor brought
a big green streamer with gold harp
to be flung to the breeze when the Irishmen
were victorious. The case will be decided
by the international committee and II will
or the union jack will fly when Ceit
scores.

The varsity lads tied the score In their half

the run was dIsallowed because there was
not ample time to finish the inning and
give the middies their chance at bat.
