Baseball.

In our report last week of the game
at Lyndonville, Boyce was charged with
a wild throw in the first inning which
should have been charged to Reilly.
For the first time this season o game
of more than nine innings was played
on the field last Saturday when two
picked teams, one representing our regu.
lar nine, the other the old timers, bat
tied for the winning run for ten inn
ings.
The game WAS very close until in the
tenth inning the regulars touched Cou-
lombe for four runs making the final
score IL to y, neither side up to that
time being more than one tally ahead.
Hodsden umpired the game in man.
ner which gave general satisfaction. The
features were the pretty hits made by
Smith aud Stevens for the regulars and
by Coulombe and Msckay for the old
| timers.
A team from Orleans plays here the
coming Saturday and it is to he hoped
the townspeople will turn out and give
the boys generous encouragement.

ROYAL TOURIST
TAKES THE CUP
MAKES BURRiS HILL CLIMB IN
SO MINUTES 40 SECONDS
Cuts Into Racing Game with Deter
mnaton and the Car viii Be
Seen in Many Racing
Events

We told you so. The Royal Tourist
yesterday annexed the Burris trophy
a perpetual prize for the Burris hill
climb-and did it in a gait that must
have been a dizzy one for the course,
and the time it was made in.
AS stated in The Herald, the Royal
Tourist was tuned up and on Thursday
evening started for Redlands, the in
itial point for the starting on the run,
and yesterday morning at an early
hour was headed for the climb of
$500 feet to the quarries of the Cali
fornia Marble company. This is one
Of the hardest trips that car can
make, and many wagers were laid that
the Tourist Royal could not make the
run at all, owing to her size and wheel
base. 1t will be recalled that The
Herald predicted this car would clip
down the, time and that it would set
the hour mark This was done with
in six-tenths of a minute, and the run
was not without incident.
The Royal was in charge of Al Ltv-
ingstone as driver, one of the fearless
drivers of the coast and his mechanl-
clan, McDonough, with Billy Mountain
on hand, looking after the car also. AS
the car ascended the steep grade, 1t
hit a large rock threw out McDon-
ough. and the wheel passed over his
legs. The nervy fellow got up, how
ever unhurt and, jumping back on his
seat, coolly remarked: Drive on,
never mind me, SO you win the race. ,
II would look as though the Royal
would retain the cup for some time,
with her time of 59:40, and it is doubt
full if any other car will go against
this record for a long time to come:
The course is a hard one for cars and
for drivers, and to beat this mark a
car would have to be driven hard
pace-too severe for an increase in
speed and too hard strain on the
driver and mechanician.
1t was generally conceded In motor
circles that the Royal deserved to win
this trophy, for the pluck and deter
mination of Mountain & Carrigan,
who are the agents for the Royal
Tourist, and especially for the nervy
work of Livingstone and his mechanl-
clan. both of whom are among the top
notchers in everything appertaining to
the automobile
The Royal may now be looked upon
as ready to enter any and all contests
and will be in the running at all stages
of the game. ,.,,
The little Columbia-the little car
with the big speed and endurance
opened the contest for the handsome
trophy, which it gallantly went after
and captured on the first attempt
loses nothing of the glory that at
tached to it's feat of breaking in the
course, for it set its own pace with no
mark set for it to lower.

Tertford tire department. L. L. Blake
of this city reports that he had Hart
ford on his front wheel for the last
three and a half years, on a model M
Cadillac, which had made 10000 miles,
and the tire had never been off the
wheel
Then the Los Angeles Oil and Re-
fining company state that they have
had two Hartford tires on the front
wheel of their car for the last seven
months, which has been used every
day, covering over 100 miles each day.
and have the same tires on yet, and
never experienced the least trouble
with them.
And there is on exhibition in the
store two tires worn on an excursion OF
a little over six thousand miles, from
Boston to San Francisco, and the tires
look as though they were good for
another six thousand miles at least
This would make 1t appear that it is
good for the user to wear Hartfords,
but not so good from a profit side of
the matter for the dealer.

OAKLAND PRIZE
IS A BEAUTY
LARGEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL
OF COAST TROPHIES
All Should Hope and Pray That Shet-
tiers Fast "Jack Rabbit" May
Bring 1t to Los
Angeles

The largest and most beautiful auto
mobile trophy ever raced for in Califor-
MIA is to be awarded to the winner of
the Portola day automobile road races,
to be held in Alameda county Saturday,
October %. The cup and pedestal stand
four feet high, the diameter at the top
being sixteen inches and the diameter
at the base twenty inches. The cover
of the cup is surmounted by winged
figure of Victory. At each of the four
sides where the cover rests upon the
cup is a winged automobile wheel, in
dicative of speed.
Just below the top of the cup are
four panels. Two Of the panels con-
tain landscape views Of Oakland, one
of a prominent building, the other the
inscription and the conditions of the
race Surrounding the panels and
spreading out over the shoulders are
oak leaves and branches. On the col
umns supporting the bowl is full
picture of the race course, with oak
land and its harbor showing in the dis
tance, with a racing automobile madly
dashing on to victory on the oppo-
site side is a view of one of Oakland's S
busy thoroughfares. The body of the
cup rests upon the pedestal, which is
also heavily decorated in oak leaves
and branches, in the center of which is
shown a racing automobile. At the
base of the cup in rustic lettering are
the words Oakland Cup"
The cup rests upon a pedestal of burl
redwood. Surrounding the pedestal in
solid silver are four panels, three of
which show the prominent business
buildings in Oakland; the .other con-
tanning the names Of committees. Be
tween each of the four panels, in bas
relief, is an oak tree standing out
boldly in the foreground.
The cup is one of the finest produc-
tions of the silversmith's art, and was
especially designed and manufactured
by Shreve. It is not only a credit to
the manufacturers, but to the citizens
of the city of Oakland, who have made
q great and successful effort in giving
the greatest automobile race ever held
on the Pacific coast.
