President Dobbins, in discussing the
situation, said:
II am greatly pleased with The out
look, and thoroughly believe that
Wilkesbarre and Pittston would make
financially successful additions to the
league. Wilkesbarre and vicinity GER
tainly have enough lovers of the game
to support two teams, particularly as

that of the New York State team.

message Of good will from Mayor Nc
Clellan to Mayor Busse, of Chicago, the
start of the longest cross-country relay
"a rel held was made this morning
from City Hall Park.
Nearly 1000 youngsters, ranging in
age from Is to 20 years, will make up
the team which will convey Gotham's

of the association between the two
cities.
The message will be encased IN q sill
yer tube. which will be passed from
n boy to another at the end of each
relay. The y~oungster who receives the
message will run up Broadway half a
mile and deliver it to another, who
will travel a similar distance with it.
At that point another eager. fieet-foot-
ed youth will be awaiting him. In this
way the race will continue day and
night until Chicago Is reached.
The boys will be accompanied by au-
tomobiles n each runner separately
timed. In the automobile will also be
a relief runner. or substitute, who will
take up the run in case the really man

At HAVANA, CUBA
New Orleans Horsemen Have
Project to Establish Big
Racing Plants.

LEXINGTON, KY, July 15.-John s.
Wallace, former manager of City Park
Race track, at New Orleans. Is here
and announces that he will probably
open a race track in Panama or Ha-
vana this year. After city Park rack
closed a few weeks go. and the anti
racing laws passed, Wallace went to
Mexico to look over prospects for the
establishment of a track in that coun-
try.
He found that purses and conditions
generally there we're smore favorable to
Spanish horses than American. and the
attitude OF the people convinced him
that American racing would not be
popular. He then went to Cuba and
Panama. where he found conditions so
vastly different that he will probably
establish a track in n of these sec
lions before the end of the year.

the tourists into the city. A large crowd
had gathered at the Hotel Walton n
cheered the drivers as they drove up.
The Gyroscope car had it's trouble, as
usual. yesterday, and was laid UP along
the road several times. 1t seems to be
difficult to keep the engine properly
oiled and to keep it cool. The machine
reached Philadelphia late.
Mondays tire troubles were repeated
yesterday and several machines were
delayed as a result of this difficulty.
The S%tudebaker war car, carrying
men, had three blow-outs
and the press men, despairing of get
ting into Philadelphia at a seasonable
hour. left the car and came in by train.
Cars Nos. 81. %, 10S. "a, Is, 26. 16, 10 and

or less Importance.
No. 10 Thomas was delayed on the
route by slight engine trouble. Moline
No. 102, entered for the Hover trophy,
which ann into Harrisburg late on
Monday, was reported as having a
cracked cylinder. If this is true, the
chances are that the car will have to
withdraw from the contest.
The tourists were the guests of the
Quaker City Motor Club at a smoker
last evening in Horticultural Hall. The
guests were welcomed by Mayor Rey-
burn and the club officials. Several
prominent men addressed he tourists.
Charles J.. Glidden made a speech as
usual.

HARRY LEWIS AND

Six Round Bout Fastest Ever

Z BANGOR, Me-, July 1S:-After six Of
the fastest rounds ever boxed in Maine.
the bout between Harry Lewis and

clared by the Maine ring followers to
be a draw. The go vas all too short,
but was full of fireworks from start to
finish. 1t was spectacular enough to
please the most exacting.
In the second Lewis showed to adj
vantage and had Russell In a bad way.
He poured wicked blows to every tell
ing spot and Russell was groggy. Only
the sound of the gong saved a knock
out.
Russell came back strong In the
third, and had the better of the re-
naming rounds. He showed the fast
est and cleverest work ever seen in q
Maine ring, and had Lewis guessing.
Had the bout lasted a few more rounds
Russell would probably have scored a
win. Both boxers We're In good condi-
ton and took their punishment well.
