MOTOR CARS WILL
RACE TO PHOENIX
FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY
MILES OVER ROADS
KISSELKAR AND WHITE HAVE
BEEN ENTERED
Contest viii Be Most Unique in the
Motoring World-Deep Desert
Sand viii Be Encoun-
tered
BY FREDERIC PABST

A four hundred and fifty mile road
race from Los Angeles to Phoenix has
been announced for November 8.
The representatives of two cars have
already expressed their intention of
entering, and a $500 entrance fee Tor
each will be posted tomorrow.
The race is so scheduled that it will
be finished at the time of the Territor-
ial fair at Phoenix, and the finishing
point will be at the fair grounds,
where the winner will be presented
with large silver cup.
The original intention was to offer
cup for the best road record between
the two cities, but a request from Los
Angeles caused a changing of the plan,
and now the motorists are invited to
make a race of 1T.
Up to date the Mt. Baldy run has
occupied the position of the most
unique motor car race in the world.
but if this contest is successfully
pulled off the palm will go to the
Phoenix-Los Angeles event. The dis
tance is about four hundred and fifty
miles and will take the cars over every
kind of road. 1t will be a severe test
on machines and drivers.
The first cars named for the race
were Leon T. Shelters Kisselkar and
F. C. Fenner's White, the machines
which met in the recent Baldy race,
won by White.
InlS Will 1mmeQldIely cause an III
terest in the race. The talk of the
hundred-mile dash to the top of Baldy
has not died out when along comes
this race, which will bring the two ma
chimes in conflict once more.
All details of the race are yet to be
decided. The route will probably be
by way of Beaumont, Palm Springs.
Indio, Mecca and thence across a long
strip of desert to Ehrenberg, where
the Colorado river will be crossed.
The cars will have elegant roads for
the first hundred miles. There will be
fast time made ssQlztayofs Los Angeles
to the crossing Of the first mountains,
but in the Indio-Palm Springs country
deep sand will be encountered and for
mile after mile the cars will be forced
to fight their way.
A more severe test for motor cars
could not be planned, as there will be
miles of smooth, level road, miles of
mountain travel and many more miles
OF desert sand. There will be many
obstacles to overcome and the drivers
who reach Phoenix will know they
have been in a contest.
The Kissel which has been entered
will be driven by Bert Latham.
Colonel Fenner may drive his White.
That Is his present intention.
The local representative for the race
is Manager Mitchell of the Hollenbeck
hotel.

The slogan of the Ormond meet for
1909 will be zone hundred miles per

will be contest for handsome trophy
In which the cars will be required to do
one hundred miles to the hour or get
no prize. The contest will attract quite
as much attention as the two mile a
minute race, and the entry list will
be a large one, for the honors will be
worth the while. The Automobile Club
of America, whose management of the
present meet was so satisfactory, will
again run the meet in 1902 and the
drivers who took part this year are
more than satisfied. c. M Hamilton of
the Isotta Import company promises
to be on hand with an Isotta made es-
pecially for the great one hundred mile
stunt. Mr. Hamilton will enter a con-
siderable racing team for the 1903 meet
and will go after the 80 mile blue rib
bon event also. In fac, the Isotta will
be an active contender for all honors
on track, hill, road and beach in
America for some time to come, and
Mr.. Hamilton promises to do all pos
sible to aid in making automobiling as
a sport a real sport.

A FEW WORDS AS TO- TIRES

The premature wearing of tires can some
times be traced to the fact that the axle

AS result of the crusade against steel stud

has turned out all-rubber non-skid tube.
For a 5430 mile run by z. W. Hill of Bridge

the same within two or three dollars. being

FoRDs OHIO RIVER
IN A RAMBLER CAR

An interesting story of the fording
of the Ohio river in an automobile has
come to Thomas B. Jeffery & Co.,
makers of the Rambler, from F. A.
Chapman, Wellsburg, w. Va
Chapman entered the river with his
Rambler at the famous Cox's ford near
Wellsburg at time when the Ohio
was at a low stage and drove directly
across to the Ohio shore. The water
was about two feet deep, but the sheet
steel pan protected all parts of the
mechanism, thus preventing its inter-
ference with the operation of the en-
gine.
The feat was not without danger, be-
cause in spite of the apparent shallow
ness, a slight misealculation as to
direction would have resulted in a
catastrophe.
The Rambler people have added this
performance to the list of unusual
things which the Rambles has accom-
plished.

MOTORISTS GET
THE LAST DEER
BUCK BROUGHT DOWN 35
MILES FROM CITY
TWO AUTOS TOOK HUNTERS TO
cALARAsAs COUNTRY
Men Well Known in Motoring Circles
Are Always on Hand Where
Game Is Plen-
tful

A buck that was probably the last OF
the season fell to party of Los Ange-
les motorists last week. 1t was brought
down in the Santa Monica mopntains
back of Calabasas Tuesday morning
after night drive in two automobiles.
The hunting party was made up of
nine men, including F. o. Nelson, Roy
Garland, Chas. Yaeger, Chas. Chees-
boro, Tom Dworff and DAILY Nash.
The party left Monday night in a
Mitchell and a Cadillac and drove over
the Cahuenga and Calabasas hills to
the foot of the mountains, where they
met Dworff and Nash. Leaving the
machines, they started out early in the
morning and were rewarded shortly
after with a fine buck At the time
they were bringing one down two 9TH
ers were standing not hundred yards
away. but they escaped.
The motorists attribute their sue
cess largely to Dworff and Nash. Both
are old hunters, who know every foot
of the ground back of Calabasas. They
can tell at a glance whether there has
been a deer near, and seem to know
the haunts of the elusive bucks.
The deer was killed within thirty-five
miles of Los Angeles.
This party has always found auto
mobiles of the greatest use in reach
ing the happy hunting grounds. They
are always chuggfng over the country
roads for the opening of the dove and
quail seasons, and many a pleasant
hunt they have in year. Nelson and
Garland have been to every section of
Southern California where game is
plentiful, and can tell just the best
places to find the birds.
Guy West Is another of the motorist
sportsmen who knows about every
thing worth knowing of hunting dis
tricts in the state.

following on the subject:
"In response to the expressed desires
of the Association of Licensed Auto

the Electric Vehicle company, as own
ers of the Selden patent, lost no time
in applying to the United States cir
cult court in Newark. N. j., for au-

'The petition which was granted on
Tuesday last set forth that the Olds

certain supplementary agreements
with the A. L. A. M, among which
was that the royalties under the patent
should be paid promptly. The license
itself also provides for prompt pay

the Olds motor works has not paid its
royalties under the patent for the
quarters ending January, April and
July; the amount due is not known, as
the Olds company has rendered no ac-
counting for the periods. The petition
further recited that on September

Santa Monica is getting wise.
At conference of the automobile
committee of the board of trade and
the police commission last week it was
decided to be more lenient in the future
with visiting motorists and 1t is prom
ised that in the future a motorist can
drive through that town at the reckless
speed of ten miles an hour without be-
ing pulled into court by a boy cop who
received so much for every arrest he
made.
In the future the motorcycle police
will be paid by the hour and the cases
of legal holdups win probably cease.
Santa Monica secured black eye with
the automobile public which was doing
the town much damage. Drivers were
arrested for making ordinary speed OH
almost deserted boulevards, and mat
ters finally became so bad signs were
posted in some of the garages and local
resorts warning motorists not to visit
Santa Monica.
Realizing the damage being done the
pretty beach city the board of trade
took up the matter and finally won
it's point.
Some of the thousands of cars which
now visit Venice during the week may
get up to Santa Monica occasionally.
