AUTO RECORDS BROKEN
Time Between Los Angeles and
San Diego Lowered by
Two Cars

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 1o.-Twice this
morning a new automobile record for
the trip between Los Angeles and San
Diego was established. Twice the pre-
vious record for the run between the
two cities was shattered
When r. C. Hamlin drove UP in front
OF the Union building In a six cylinder
Franklin roadster, having made the run
from Los Angeles in 4 hours % min
utes. 1t was thought he had set a mark
that was likely to stand for some time
Less than 20 minutes later, however.
Bert Latham, driving a Kissel car ar
rived at the Brewster, after having
made the trip from Los Angeles in
hours and 16 " minutes.
Guy irwin Fred Reynolds and d. e.
Crane. having left Los Angeles at 5
o'clock to make a round trip He
started back Immediately at 3.52

Nelson Tells How the.
Cubs Beat Tigers

NJ ETROIT. Mich. Oct. 10.-The
worlds champion Cubs lived
q up to their great record
again today, when they
picked up, left hooked and tossed
down for the count the wonderful
Jennings Tigers, by n score of 10
to 6, In the opening game of the
series. The game was played In
n heavy dOwnpour of rain end was
viewed by $4,000 fans. The Cubs
showed better class at the bat, in
the field and ON the bases, and
besides exhibited n bundle of
gameness when 1T came to a pinch.
The Tigers got off to the good
In the opening round, but old
Chance and his band came right
back in the third round and evened
matters up some, and then some
more. Four runs came over ON
a double by Sheckard and a rain
of singles. 1t was really n shame
the way they hammered Southpaw
kiIlIan here. The tigers spared
hard for wind after this, and In
Hhe seventh and eighth they de-
livered several beautiful punches,
which netted them five /runs.
Chance tossed the sponge out to
Ruelbach in the seventh and
chased in big Overall He, how
ever, was being hard hit in the
eighth. when Miner Brown was
sent I'm. The miner stopped the
Tigers, and then the Windy City
ties turned ON Summers, who had
succeeded Killian, and simply
murdered him.
In the ninth the score stood 6
to I'm favor of the Tigers. Then
the finish came. the Cubs batting
around. Schultz, Chance, Stein
feIdt, Hoffman, Tinker and Killing
all had hit safely and five runs
came over. There were $4,000 per-
sons on hand. and indeed it was n
much detected band that stallxed
out of the park after the game. The
national commission, of course,
was on hand. The betting to-
night is 80 to / that the Cubs will
win the series.

MACDONOUGH STRING


Trainer H NJ. Mason reached Emery
vile yesterday from Ormonda1e stock
farm at Men1o Park with Middle and
10 yearlings by OsSary, Orsini and
Borgia. which, with Duke of Milan and
three yearlings to follow in the near
future, will comprise the racing string
that will carry the colorS OF w. OBJ.
Macdonough, breeder of the Futurity
winner Ormondale during the winter
meeting. Every horse in the string is
for sale with the exception of a year
ling half brother of Ormondale which
Mason regards as a $4,000 colt and
Macdonough farm after his racing DAYS
are over on account of the rare Or
mOnde-St. Simon cross In his blood
He is a grand looking bay by Orsini
out of Santa Bella and resembles his
i1lustrious half brother in many re-
spects. although he is put together on
finer lines and s.not SO gross and lum-
bering as the Futurity winner of 1905.
He is so well matured that he looks
more like year old than a year
ling. If he falls to develop into a
first class racehorse, Mason will be
sorely isappointed-and il must be ad-
horses. Middle and Duke Of Milan
have both benefited greatly by their
summers rest and have grown and
filled out materially since they were
retired last spring.
With the exception OF the half
brother to Ormondale, the pick of the
Ormondale yearlings will be sold at
public auction about November 23
