Eah of the 20 Autos Begins Practice
on the Dangerous Course.

New York, Oct. 14.-Practice for
the Vanderbilt cup race on October
"a around the 25 mile course began
this morning, when a number of the
drivers who will compete in the
classic automobile race of this year,
sent their cars whirling around the
hair pin" turns and along the
smooth stretches of the course for the
first real work outs in preparation for
the race. The parkway will be a busy
scene from now until after the race,
and by the end of the week each of
the 20 machines entered for the cup
will be making the turns of the
course.
Practically all of the drivers are
making preparations for the trials.
Tracy. Chevrolet, RyalI. Basic and
Bourque have taken their quarters
along the course. Leon Pouget will
drive the entry of Harry Payne Whit
ney and Herbert Lyle will guide the
big car belonging to c. ". Brokaw.
Starter Wagner has notified the
drivers that they will be allowed to
run their cars over the entire course
at top speed in the hours intervening
between daylight and o'clock. At
ter that time they can run over the
parkway section of the circuit at rea-
sonable speed throughout the day.
But on the other sections of the
course. the drivers must not exceed

it a permanent organization in the
state and nation.
So far as known the report that Sem
ator Albert Beveridge was, sick is
rnistake-at least, Beveridge isn't very
sick ]. N. Dolley wired the national
committee asking whether the Indiana
statesman would be able to fill his KAN
sas dates, and received no reply, which
he takes to mean that Beveridge viii
be on hand.
According to the schedule so far pre-
pared Senator Beveridge will leave Lin
coin, Neb., Thursday night, reaching
Salina Friday morning at o'clock. He
will speak one hour there and Will leave
over the Union Pacific for Mcpherson
at 9 o'clock He will make ten min
ute speech at Mcpherson leaving there
at 10 o'clock over the Rock Island for
Hutchinson. At Hutchinson he will
speak for one hour. He will leave
Hutchinson over the Missouri Pacific
for Wichita, speaking there for Is min
utes. 1t is possible that the Wichita
speech will be the last made in Kan
sas Friday. He will go south from
there over the Rock Island into Okla
homa. Speeches may be made at Wei
lington and Caldwell The first Okla
homa speech will be made at Enid.
Senator Beverage will spend Satur-
day and Sunday in Oklahoma, returning
to Kansas through the southeastern
part of the state Monday morning. He
will make a number of speeches be-
tween the state line and Kansas City
but the schedule for this return trip
has not been worked out.
