WILL BE GREAT EVENT.
Automobile Race Meet at Readville
May Produce New Records.

Boston, Aug 3U.-JudginC from the ar
rancements, the feature attractions book
ed and the great interest taken by the
local dealers in entering cars in the
many events scheduled, the automobile
race meet to be held at the Readvile
track on Labor day, under the auspices
Of tie Bay Stat Automobile Association
viii excel anything ever seen at this
track before and bids fair to surpass
anything ever reid on a circular track
in tits country up to date.
The bringing together OF two such
race kings as Christie and Marriott, both
world famed drivers, reflects great credit
upon the committee. and their reward
will be a large crowd OF the day of the
races. Christie, the man who made Il
name for himself on the seward coast
of Florida, on the Vanderbilt course on
Lon Island and on the nlanv tracks
throughout the coutry, really needs no
Introduction, for his provinces as a race
drivcr is laudcd and respected both in
this country and abroad. With his Won
derful front wheel drive, which has
time and time again whiZZed over the
ground at the rate Of ninety niles an
hour, he will attempt TO break the five
mile circular track records. Such a trial
would ha worth going miles to see, and
it is safe 10 say that not many enthusi-
asts within a 2g0-nIile radius OF Boston
will miss seeing this great driver at
tempt To smash 4 few records.
Not satisfied with giving the people
a chance TO see this great king, the race
committee went one step farther in their
determination TO get the best in the
country. They secured Fred Marriott and
his Stanley racer. the holder of the one
mile and five-mile worlds records, he
having accomplished the mile on Ornlond
Beach in January, 1905, in 2S1s seconds.
Last winter at Onnond this same driver
was determined to lower the mile record
to y seconds but was seriously injured in
a trial. This driver will be seen at his
best at Readrille next Monday and the
match between him and Baldwin of Prov
idence, each racing Vanderbilt cars, the
best two odt of three heats for one mile,
should be a decided feature. Both men
will use the same cars with Which they
did duty at Ormond last winter, and
which We're so evenly matched that there
was hardly two-fifths of a second differ
ence in their relative speed at tue five
mile mark. BALDWIN IS by no means I'M
known a race driver, in fact, in the
steamer class he is considered second
only to Marriott as driver. The rivalry
between these two men is keen. however,
and one can rest assured that the race
will be for blood.

GIRL HEROES
Rescue Prominent Amateur Swimmer
From Downing.

Atlantic City, Aug. GOV. Z. DEM,
one of the best swimmers along the
coast, owes his ltfa to the bravery of
Miss Marguerite .5i.ll and Miss Cert
rude O'Sullivan,. two pretty Plttsburg
girls, who faced death in a roaring surf
to drag the young man from the waves
after he had been seized with cramps.
A crowd Of thousand spectators saw
the thrilling fight from the beach and
board walk.
Diehl ana the two girls were bathing,
when he decided to take IL long swim
beyond the heavy breakers. When the
young man haI swan out to sea and
turned to come back ne was suddenly
gripped by cramp and sank before he
could call for help
The girls saw him go down, and, al
though their lacl; of swimming ability
had kept them from going out with
him, both plunged into the deep water
and padded to where Diehl was just
rising to the surface.
BY this time spectators had realized
the danger Of the three and lifeguarGs
with boats reached the spot while the
girls were still supporting the half
drowned man. Both young women made
light of their bravery when they reach
ed shore, but were compelled to walk
line of men and women. who insisted on
shaking hands and congratulating them
on their pluck.

Much Interest I'm Bouts
Scheduled For Labor DaY.

There is considerable interest in the
Paplle-Sullivan fight, to be held at
Lawrence Labor day, and though the
betting favors Sullivan, the Westerner
will not lack for supporters.
The contest will be held in Glen For
est. and is for Il rounds to a decision.
The appearance Of the muck talked of
Papke in the Eas- is an event of inter-
est to followers of the game. He stanGs
D feet inches tall, weighs in condition
19i pounds, and although only 90 years
of age he has peen in the ring for over
two years. During that time he has
faced some of the best men in the
country and has never tasted defeat.
4 Papkc realizes he has a formidable
task in front of him to defeat Tommy
Sullivan. The rigorous training he has
done at Desmond Hill under the care
of George Byers has put the Westerner
into excellent physical condition, and
when he strips for action Monday after
noon he will present picture of physi-
cal perfection.
On the other hand. Sullivan realizes
that this gives him the chance he has
long looked for to establish his ability
as a first class boxer, and he has put in
three weeks at Northboro of hard,
faithful. conscientious work, until to-
day, it is safe to say he is in grand
shape, and able to go the full distance
at a fast clip.
The recent edict of the Philadelphia
authorities prohibiting rough house tao
tics in the SiN-round fights will cause
much gloom among the scrappers, who
rely on infghting to bring home the
money.
The announcement will be particular
ly hard on Tommy Murphy. the Harlem
scrapper, as this gent is at his best at
iniEhting, and the fact that the New
Yorker is billed to meet Fighting Dick
Hyland in two weeks is apt to cause a
little uneasiness among the Gothamites.
Hyland's long suit is fighting at long
range, and Min clean breaks.
The rOuSh hOu-. work has been quite
prominent in the bouts held at the
Quaker City recently. and the authori-
ties desire to take this action before
serious trouble results.
Maurice Savers, the Milwaukee light
weight, evidently doesn't like the cali

Harry ScrOggs, the clever BALTIMORE
lightweight, will hook up with Jack
Lowery in a ten-round bout at the

Little will have a chance to make or

Kid GARNER is looking for a match
