DIAMOND TIRES SCORE
IN CHICAGO RELIABILITY
Apperson and White Cars Make 8
Strenuous Thousand-MiIe Rur
Without Puncture or Other
Tire Trouble

Coincident with the 1900 mile reliability con-
test OF the Chicago Motor club. held October
6. 7, and 9, there was a test OF tires which
may well be described of the gruelling va
riety. IT consisted of a series Of penalizations
against the different makes Of tires. these be-
ing computed on a basis of points per man
per minute of labor, whether Initiating, chang
ing inner tubes or castings. No difference In
penalty was imposed between punctures and
bloW-outs. the only criterion being time spent.
No additional penalties were imposed where
demountable rims or quick detachabes were
used. Any make of tire eligible for the tire
trophy had TO be represented by two complete
sets and the only makes represented ware
Diamond and Goodrich. six cars having Dia-
mond tires and three Goodrich.
The Diamond was the winner, having an av-
erage penalty of ia Joints against each tire.
or q total Of 274 points against the twenty-four
tires in competition. The Goodrich tire had
ar average penalty OF 25. or a total Of 800
against the twleve tires In competition.
Particular attention Is called 70 the Diamond
tires fitted to a White and an Apperson car.

PHOENIX RACE IS
MUCH TALKED OF
ELM0RE CAR LEAVES THIS
MORNING FOR ARIZONA
LATHAM AND HlcELoW MAKE
TRIP IN REQ ROADSTER
TeIegrams from Shelters Party Ad-
wise No Change Of Starting Time
and Report Arizona
Roads Good

There is more talk about the pro-
posed race to Phoenix from Los An
geles than any other event that is to
take place In local motordom.
Bert Latham and G. H. Bigelow have
reached Phoenix safely in the REQ
Roadster, having arrived there Friday
afternoon. Two kilograms have been
received from them by Leon t. Shelter,
whose Tobasco /, a Kisselkar roadster,
has been entered in the race.
In one of the kilograms sent by
Latham he advises that the starting
time be kept the same as at first sug-
gested, and that would allow of the
cars having daylight for the worst part
of the course, which he says is between
Banning and Dos Palms. His report
confirms that of F. c. Fenner and
George Adair, who made the trip as Tar
as Palm Springs last week.
In many places the lava formation
has been blown about on the desert
until the pieces that were originally
sharp and broken from larger ones have
become round as shot. The pebbles
vary In size from that of a pea to
marble and give no traction for the
wheels as the particles roll out from
under and leave the wheels to spin in
the same place.
According to Latham's telegram the
road is good from EhrenberS to
Phoenix and the trip across the desert
is easy.
Bigelow and Latham will start back
today and will follow the same course
which has been made official by the
Maricopa Automobile club. The route
as laid out by the club will be through
Banning, Beaumont, Indio, Palm
Springs, Mecca, Dos Palms, Chucka-
walla Springs, Blythe ranch, Ehren-
rf1 1ff e
Harrisburg and Buckeye to Phoenix.
Smith Will Drive "BuIIdoe"
The party met with a hearty recep-
ton In Phoenix and reports consider
able enthusiasm over the proposed race.
A. J. Smith and George Dake Will
leave with the Elmore car, The Buli-
dog, this morning at 8 o'clock to go
over the course. Smith has taken a
stock Elmore model A, which Is 35-
horse power touring car, and stripped
the tonneau from it, putting a gasoline
tank In its place, which gives an extra
supply and also supplies the weight
necessary for traction with the rear
wheels.
A whistle has been placed on the car
to warn traffic and Will doubtless make
those who are encountered on the road
think for a moment that a train is
coming down the road.
F. G. Fenner OF the White garage
has repeated his intention of entering
IL the Locomobile goes in or some
other car of that class, but reiterates
that he will not go in competition with
the Kisselkar and the Elmore with no
others.
An extra tank has been placed on
Black Bess directly over the two
cylinder cylindrical ones on the rear of
the car. 1t can be utilized to carry an
extra supply of water and it's addition
Ia taken as an indication of Fenner's s
belief that the Locomobile will go in.
AS r. j. Leavitt will enter if 1t is
possible for him to get back from
Seattle in time the probability of a
four-sided contest with side bet of
$1,000 between two of the entrants seem
very probable at the present time.

RYUS ACCEPTS
BET OF RUESS
DRIVER OF WHITE STEAMER
POSTS $3.50 FORFEIT
Acceptor of Challenge Wishes the
Race to Badly to Be Run Within
Ten Days, but Challenger
Cannot Do So

H. D. Ryus has called the bet made
by w. Ruess for a race to Baldy be-
tween the White steamer and Pope
Hartford and has posted his check for
$500 as forfeit with James j. jeffTfe5,
who also holds the money posted by
Ruess for a like amount.
To show his good faith Ruess posted
forfeit of $3.50 with Jeffries that he
would race for the Fenner trophy and
would make side bet of $1,000. Ryus
has now posted his forfeit money and
wants to race within ten days.
As Ruess has no cars as yet that he
would use In a race, and besides has
his hands full In getting his new
garage in order, he declares it impos-
sible to race within the time specified
by Ryus.
"This talking about a race to be run
in a year from now" said Ryus. when
seems to be just a little too much In
advance. We are going to be there
with the White steamer when the time
comes for the annual race, but II Ruess
wants a race we will give it to him
right now and settle all the talk that
he is making.
"Our money IS up and it is now up
to him to come through. We will put
up the other $3.50 the minute he notifies
race at once to stop this premature
talking"
Il want to race for the Fenner tro-
ply at the regular annual race" said
Ruess, land have no intention of rae
ing within ten days, as that was not
my intention at all when l posted the
money and offered to make the bet.
What 1 wanted to show was that 1t
was not mere talk when / said that l
believed the Pope Hartford could trim
the White over the course up North
Badly"
Several of the dealers have INDUCED
in a lot of talk while looking for free
advertising, and l did not want to be
placed in that class"
Ryus has won three times over the
same course with the White steamer
and in every case the gasoline car
competing has had trouble. The first
year the REQ lost a part of the tire
rim and was out of it in the SOledad,
miles from the finish
A year ago A. J. Smith turned turtle
with his Elmore and came near losing
his life. September 20 last Shelter
entered a Kisselkar and Latham had
trouble with carbureter from which
a valve became lost on the road, and he
could not get good results frof his car.
Ruess wishes to race with only the
driver in the car and no mechanfcian,
as he says that then it will put it up
to the car more. 81 can drive a Pope
Hartford by myself" said Ruess, land
would like to have the other fellow
try it the same way"

MoToRlST WINS SUIT FOR
DAMAGES AGAINST FARMER

SALEM, Ore, Oct. pa verdict for
damages that upsets all the tradi-
tional experiences of the automobilist
in the rural districts has been decided
by the courts of this county.
In this instance it was the motor en-
thusiast who was damaged, and the
farmer who was mulcted, the case, 1t
is said, establishing precedent.
Last summer M. Benjamin was driv-
ing his automobile near Gervais. His
headlights were lighted as warning
to drivers and pedestrians. G. w.
Cuttsford, a farmer was driving along
the road when Benjamin saw him and
pulled his automobile to one side Of
the road to let the farmer and his
spirited horses pass. Cuttsford be-
came confused and turned his horses
into the machine with disastrous re-
suits to the machine.
Benjamin sued for $940 s.nd was
awarded $400 damages.

PIERCE TRANSMISSION
HAS BFEN CHANGED
sELEcTivE TYPE REPLACES FOR
MER PROGRESSIVE STYLE
Greater Skill of Average Drivers
Makes Change Advisable--PIaoes
Pierce on Par with High
est Types
UJEza

Heretofore Pierce-Arrow cars have been
equipped with thrse-speed progressive trans-
mission with the gear shifting lever under tho
steering wheel. Now. however. all five Pierce
Arrow models will have four forward speeds,
and the selective type OF transmission, while
the gear shifting lever will be at the side and
will work In an II double slot. Several reasons
have been responsible for the retention of tho
former type of transmission and gear shifting
lever after the seiective type had been proven
a success Among the more potent of these
was the fact that It has been the belief OF the
George N. Pierce company that the progressive
system with the lever under the steering
wheel is the simplest and most convenient
style for the man not thoroughly up in motor
ing In other words the Pierce company held
that In former years the general motoring pub
lie had not advanced In its knowledge OF
motor car conditions to point where the Sc
Iectve type of gearing would prove more SER
viceable than the progressive.
The equipment of all new models of Pierce
Arrows with the selective type of transmission
is equivalent to an announcement on the part
OF this pioneer concern that the motoring
public has now gained a knowledge OF motor
ing and driving to an extent that justifes the
change, and this changes places the Pierce
Arrow cars a mechanical par with the best
scientific practice
