AUTO BETWEEN CARS,
Charles Dillingham; Has Close Call.
He Jumps to Safety,

NEW YORK, September 2.-CharIes B.
Dillingham;, the theatrical manager, had a
narrow escape yesterday when his auto
mobile was smashed between two Broad
way cars at the 10th street corner Ac-
companied by his chauffeur George Theo-
bold. Mr.. Dillingham; was going east
through 10th street at fast clip. He made
long turn into Broadway and had started
south In the middle of the roadway when
two cars came along. one from the north
and the other from the south.
Both cars were jogging along at lively
rate, and Mr.. Dillingham;, who was steering
the machine, didn't have a chance to
swerve out Of the way. The automobile
was caught between the two cars and q
lingham made quick jump and got out of
the way before the crash came. His chauf-
feur went over the hood Of the machine and
slightly injured both hands.
After the accident Mr.. Dillingham; whfs-
pered to TheObold, stepped into q neigh
boring automobile and sped away When
the police of the West 3Oth street police
station came up Theobold said that he was
the owner OF the Automobile and had been
riding in 1t alone. The police later looked
up the police register and found that Mr.
Dillingham; was the owner, and, while
Theobold repeatedly denied that the the
accident, 1t was learned that he was.
The machine, a three-seated car, seventy
horse power and of foreign make, was
nothing but a mass of junk when the two
cars were finally backed away. The wreck
was dragged to the corner of 4Oth street
and Broadway, where 1t remained all day
and night, attracting hundreds of people.

The ammunition question evidently cut
big figure in the national team match
according to some of the rifle experts
who figure that the District team and the
teams representing the cavalry and In
fantry of the regular army should have
finished in better places than they did
These three teams used the regular gov
ernment ammunition, but nearly all of the
other competing teams used ammunition
of private manufacture. The shooting of
all of the leading teams was greatly i'm
proved over that Of last year, the Navy
team establishing new record, 170 points
over last year in the same match The
team from the District scored 285 points
over that of a year ago.
The downfall of the Ohio team, which
lost first place in the match, was a sur
prise to every one The experience of the
team members with the conditions of the
range was predicted to be winning card
in their favor. The team also lays its
defeat to the ammunition. Ohio scored
five misses at the 1,o0o-yard range.
