FRENCH DRIVERS
ARE LIMBERING UP
Fast and Furious ,Chauffeurs Will
Contest in Elimination Race
for Vanderbilt Cup.
Journal Special Service.

New York, Aug. 27.-Gustaye Callois and
Hubert LIE Blon, the French racing automobile
drivers, who arrived in this country on Satur-
day, are now in Buffalo experimenting the work
on the 115horsepower racers which they are to
drive in the elimination trials for the Wander
bilt cup race. Callois has been in America sew
eral times and was here shortly after the Van
derbilt race last year. LIE Blon is on his maiden
trip to this country.
Both men know the automobile as a child
does its B C's. Indeed, 1t is said that at
times when going at highest speed Callois will
talk to his machine, causing it to go
faster. He entered the sport cyclist when
he was IS years Of age, thirteen years ago,
| and proved to be one of the fastest sprinters
| in France. Owing to the objection of allowing
him to because of his youth, Callois
| sumed the name, De Geurre Soilac, which is
his own spelled backwards.
Bicycles did not prove fast enough for Cal
lois, and he turned his attention to motoring.
| Last year he finished second to Thery in the
and in the final finished fourth to Thery, who
won the event.
| lie Blon is 81 years old, and for five years
held all the worlds records for steam cars
made by the Serpoilet He has been promi-
nent In automobile circles for the last ten
years. In four big LIE Blons wife has
| acted his mechanic. He declares she is the
| best mechanic he ever had, and said he regrets
| that he did not bring her with him.
! Montague Roberts is a home product. He is
an expert chauffeur and has record for reck-
! less disregard for his life when racing a
machine. At that. he is careful driver. and
it is expected that he will be able to hold his
own with the foreigners.

however, he turned 1t over to the proper author
tiles and his throw will be allowed. "a,

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Aug. 27.-John McGraw, manager
Of the New York champions of the National
declared war on President Pulliam Of the old
league, and Pulliam will have the fight of
his life to retain his seat at the head Of the
league If he stands for another election.
McGraw now wants to blame the league execu-
tive for the loss Of the pennant this year and
threatens to carry his into the civil courts,
but really the plan of campaign mapped out by
McGraw and Owner John T. Brush Of the giants,
expert ball men declare, is to place
executive at the head of the league for the
coming year. Reports have been coming, thick
and fast that Pulliam intended to retire from
the head of the league next year and that he
had bought into the Philadelphia club It is
more than possible that his plan is to retain
his office and allow the Philadelphia club to be
run by others.
The only opposition last year to the cleo
ton Of Pulliam to the presidency of the Ma
tional league came from Brush and Hermann.
The opposition then was not so. energetic as it
will be the coming year, for Brush, while in
Chicago with the giants last week, kept NUT
tering threa ts- under his breath at Pulliam for
keeping McGraw out Of the game, and McGraw
| will see to it that the anger Of Brush will not
cool off between this and the annual meeting
Of the league. Brush will not come out in the
open to fight Pulliam for reelection very likely
but will put up some. candidate whose popular
| ity cannot be overcome by the old executive.
| and this is likely to Pulliam to refuse to
| let his name go before the league again.

JEFF QUITS FARM

San Francisco, Aug. 2.-When Jim Jeferies
returns from his hunting trip to Oregon he will
become resident Of the burned district and
will engage in business here. The champion
has decided to locate at Pine and Polk streets
and open a place which will be fitted up IN
style worthy Of the high standing of the pro-
prietor in the pugilistic community.
Jeffries loves his farm, but he figures there
is more money in San Francisco than there is
in the outskirts, of Los Angeles and he has per-
suaded himself that the product of Kentucky
will bring in returns much greater than any
alfalfa crop that could be grown on his ranch.
He has arranged for the erection of a building
which will bear the name Of Jeffries, and when
the champion returns he will complete the Work.
