STRANG RETURNS TO HIS
FIRST LOVE, THE IS0TTA
Wonderful Run Made by the Famous
Driver in Founders Day Race
in Philadelphia

Louis Strangs return to his first love,
the Isotta car, was watched with a
great deal of interest by those who at
tended the big 200-mile Founder day
race at Philadelphia October 8. Strang
started in seventeenth position and by
the eighteenth lap had worked into
third place in the race, and stayed there
until the twentieth lap, when he was
unfortunate enough to blow out rear
shoe and some miles from his tire sta
ton. He had driven a most careful
race and had not stopped once for oil
or gasoline. AS the tire equipment on
his machine consisted of the regular
eight-lug road rim he and his me-
chanic were forced to make the change
unaided, and the change took consider
ably more time than it would have had
with the six-lug racing rims. This
caused the other higher powered cars in
the race to gain on him, and by the
time that the few more laps that re-
mained had elapsed Strang in the short
time allowed him was unable to get
back into better than fifth place
Strang will undoubtedly be seen in the
Vanderbilt cup race at the helm of an
Isotta car

M0N0GRAM'S WONDERFUL
RECORD AT OAKLAND RACES
Fifteen Cars Entered, and of These
Fourteen Used Monogram, and Won
All Three Races with Pope

Among the wonderful things that oc-
CURED yesterday at the Portola races
at Oakland aside from the fact that
the Pope Hartford machine broke all
worlds records, clipping down the time
of the fastest Vanderbilt cup race speed
events. was the fact that Monogram
oils fed fourteen out of the entire flf-
teen cars that were entered. When it
comes down to real brass tacks, there
is but one thing for consumer to do
when he wants the car to perform ser .
vice for him, is to get the best and
no better evidence can ever be offered
of just what oils will do when they are
the oils of quality. than the Monogram
performance of yesterday. The drivers
of these fast cars are permitted to Sc
lect their own oils and gasoline, etc,
and when it is considered that four
teen of them, practically, selected Mon
ogram, the consumer has the best
judgment of the fastest drivers in the
world on the best cars on earth.
The Pope Hartford were not more

PREPARING FOR
ASCOT RACES
SIX CARS ARE ENTERED FOR
FIRST BIG MEET
Track Being Put in Perfect Condition
and Meet VIII Be Among Best
Ever Held on Pacific
Coast

with six cars already entered for
tober 80 and 81. and half dozen more
of the fast ones strong possible en-
tries, Walter Hempel viii offer one of
the classiest race meets ever held in
the west.
The fields in the different events will
be fast and evenly matched.
Up to the present time the question
of entries has been an uncertainty, but
with six of the fastest being stripped
and made ready for all the events. from
the one mile speed trials to the fifty
and one hundred mile races, a pro-
gram of much merit is a certainty.
Work is progressing on the track and
Manager Hempel announces that 1t
win be in shape for preliminary prac-
tice Tuesday of this week. The track
will not be really finished until later,
but it will be In such shape that trial
runs will do little harm.
Entry blanks are in for the Royal
Tourist American, Knox, Palmer Sin
ger and Corbin. These are all fast,
capable of better than mile minute
are the Kissel Six or Apperson Jack
rabbit. In addition to these there are
q number of other cars which are not
so fast. This will make a grand race
A speedy car will be the Corbin.
Frank Free may drive, but if he comes
to handle the wheel of the Knox racer,
another man, who has had much ex-
perience, will take the car. e. A. Huene
expects wonders from this little strip
ped stock car as It has showed over
seventy miles an hour and is certain
to be contender in all the events.
The car has been oyerhauled since its
last appearance and will be tuned to
the minute when it appears at Ascot
In several local runs and at the Santa
Ana races the big Royal Tourist has
shown what speed it is capable of,
and Mountain & Carrigan have right
to be enthusiastic over the prospects
of this big car making cleanup. 1t
is a fast racer and will be driven by
that nervy driver AL Livingston.
The racy looking American has never
been prominent on the local track, but
on the road it has shown wonderful
speed and in the east the speed of the
American is respected
The Knox is said to be one of the
fastest cars which has ever appeared
on the coast, and with that star, Frank
Free, at the wheel. it will be more
than a factor.
Hempel promises perfect course,
In one respect these races will be the
most interesting the public has ever
been asked to watch. The inside fence
has been removed opposite the grand
stand and the ditch bordered over. All
tire and repair controls will be just
opposite the stand and all work will
l. ~, F,,n safxr ~ tho TORS
The controls will be fenced in and wa
ter will be piped to every control. Only
workers will be permitted inside and
for the first time we'll managed and
orderly meet will be conducted.
The American Automobile association
has granted a sanction for the event.
During the past week Hempel has
received letters from many eastern rae
ing men asking for dates on the coast
and indications point to a larger array
of eastern stars than have ever be-
fore visited the coast

Demon De Roster Offers to Come Here
for Race Against Any Rider in
World for Five Hun
dred Dollars

Tho recpening of the Coliseum has
been postponed until November on
account of the eastern riders not being
able to arrive before then. The man
ager had intended to let the Los An
geles Motorcycle club run a race meet
on the Coliseum track on October "a,
but on learning that the club was un-
eble to secure entries for the profess
sional races Manager Kreamer re-
quested them to call the race meet off
for the present and offered to give
them a later date instead, which they
consented to do. Kreamer says he
does not wish to have any race meet
ings held at the Coliseum unless they
are of the very best with every race
a full number of entries. He also
wishes. to make this reopening the real
opening of the track. as he is sparing
no expense to have the very best rid
ers of the country to compete in these
races. At the present time there are
more of the big seven horse power
racing machines here than ever were
together before.
Demon De Roster has offered to
come from New York to Los Angeles
to race against any rider in the world
for a purse of $780, winner take all
Oingenfelder preferred). This looks
as though he is as confident as ever
of his ability to win. The manage
ment has accepted this offer and ex-
poets to arrange the match with him
and Lingenfelder who Is at present
in San Francisco and from whom they
expect a reply in day or two rms
should prove a most interesting event,
as these demons of the motorcycle
have only met twice on equally pow
cred machines: once at Indianapolis in
the ten-mile professional champion
ship race which Lingenfelder won, and
the other time in Springfield, Mass
in the five-mle national championship
race. where De Roster was victorious.
Both having a victory to his credit,
this meeting will decide which one is
the real national professional cham
pion of 1909. De Roster is expected to
arrive in this city some time this week.
Jack Prince, the famous track
builder and builder of the now world
renowned Los Angeles Coliseum, VIII
return to this city some time during
the coming week and is expected to
have a number of new riders with him.

LETTER FROM COLORADO.

Yampa, Colorado, Oct. 23d, 1909.
Friend Henry:
mote what you say about hunting
big game. l Just wish bunch of
you fellows could be here to bag a
buck or a grizzly. Deer are plenty,
other large game are numeous. 1t
would not be difficult to get into a
mix-up with bruin. A few days ago
one hunting party brought into town
the carcases of five large bear, the
result of weeks hunt. What would
you think Of one man killing nineteen
deer in two days on a "trail'' or
runway and not over two miles from
his home? The law permits the TAX
ing of but one deer but l have reas-
ons to believe that many 'ranchers''
las farmers are called here) have
enough venison hung up to furnish
them with meat all winter. Farmers
do not kill for sport but for the
meat. Game wardens do not trouble
the farmers. It isn't safe to do SO.
When l have a little more time
will, II you wish, give you short ac-
count of hunting trip 1 took in
the "hills.''
l wish you could make up party
of fellows and get out here early
next fall, say in September. II you
could induce DR.. Harry Bradley, How
ard Ram, NJ. F. Leroy, Burt Clark,
,Phin Button. and we'll / could men
ton at least one hundred other good
fellows, to come out and rough 1t.
a few weeks will promise to have
a bear located and give them all an
opportunity to shake hands with
his bearship. And IL some of, the
fellows Just would come, and we stir
up bruin, reserve the privilege of
wagering everything might have in
my pockets, and my hat too, that
Ram would lead the bunch into camp
and be, SO. far ahead that he would
have plenty of time to have the
camp outfit packed ready for a start
right back to Iowa. "WeY and the
bear would have some fun, anyway.
Mr.. F. and Teddy arrived home
o. K and found US all well.
Yours etc.
