BURRIS HILL CUP NOW
IN HOME OF ROYALTY
SCENES ON SENSATIONAL TRIP
IN HERALD TUESDAY
Probably Unequaled Course in Amer
lea for Cars to Go Against,
and Hardships Are
Severe

The victory of the Royal Tourist in
making the climb of Burrls hill can
scarcely be measured until the actual
scenes Of the trip are observed in the
work of the camera. Through the
courtesy Of Charles Fuller Gates of this
city The Herald has been rendered
the privilege of several Photographic
scenes taken by him ION the spot"
and which came too late to appear in
this edition of The Herald They will
be shown, however, on Tuesday morn
ing, and when they are seen they tell
their own story of what an automobile
can be sent against to perform and do
it,
Al Livingstone, who drove the car, is
known as one Of the most fearless
indeed, dare-devil-drivers on the
coast, and Livingstone says "a trip
over the Burris hill climb will take
the heart out of any man that drives
it. 1t must be a terrific affair when
Livingstone admits that it will make
him stare at it, for it is said of him
that there isn't a spot where he could
work the throttle of a car that he
would not take her, no matter what
happened to him.
The chances are that it will be many

the Royal Tourists mark of $40. The
cup is more than likely to remain the
property of the firm of Mountain &
Carrigan for a long time to come.
When the trip of the Royal is meas
ured up too much praise cannot be
given to nervy McDonough, who was
LiVingstone'S mechaniCian. Going up
the hill on a good speed, climbing over
rocks and boulders, McDonough was
thrown out and the irons of the car
caught his clothing and almost denuded
the poor fellow, and the wheels of
the immense car, weighing close to
2000 pounds, came within a hair of
passing over his face, but the plucky
and loyal mechanician arose, ran and
jumped onto his seat and said. to his
companion the pegging driver Living
stone, "Never mind me, keep on going
and win this race" This shows the
pitch to which human nature is i'm
PEELED in the ambition to see his car
win that develops in driver and his
aide.
The men are loud in their praises of
the generosity of the Burris Bros.
who are the owners of the California
Marble company and the donors of the
trophy that has caused so much con-
tention.

is stated that there are 1913 turns in
the short road, crossing the mountain
stream thirteen times and opening five
gates, and these must be opened and
closed by the men on the cars. The
Royal won the cup fairly and boldly
and is entitled to the utmost credit
for the splendid run. The car is back
in the show rooms of the garage of
Mountain & Carrigan and looks as
fine as when she first came from the
factory.
1t is understood that another local
car went to Redlands to try for it this
morning, but If it makes the same
showing that it did on recent event
at Ascot park it will be ludicrous in
the extreme. The five days notice re-
quired that the race is to be run would
debar it from any right to the cup if it
went UP in one minute instead of an
hour.

DRAWING TIGHT LINES
ON CHAUFFEUR CRAFTS
TOPR0TECT OWNERS EASTERN
GARAGE MEN ORGANIZE
Cut of "Free Gas" and All Commits
sions, and Shut Of Abuses
to Cars and Owners
Pocketbooks

Of the utmost Importance to owners
of cars is the organized effort now
being made by the principal garages
to correct the abuses to cars and
pocketbooks by incompetent and
grating chauffeurs.
1t has heretofore been an almost
hopeless task for the individual gar
age man to deal with the chauffeur
evil, for the reason that the chauf-
feurs have had the power of taking
cars where they wish, and the antag-
onism of that class meant bankrupt
cy for the garage owner. Hence many
many proprietors have had to shut
their eyes to Joy rides to ''rake-
offs" on gas, oil and supplies and the
willful creation Of repairs
This condition has become so no.
torious that concerted action was
deemed necessary. and within the
past two weeks the Philadelphia Car
age association has been organized
and embraces about so per cent of
the garages in Philadelphia.
An examination of the articles of
incorporation reveals some very inter-
esting rules. Among the bylaws ap-
pear the following:
A member (garage) found guilty of
paying a commission to a chauffeur
shall pay into the treasury the sum
of S25, and upon failure to pay this
fine promptly shall be reported to the
board of directors, and may be sus-
pended by them.
Each member shall, at the request
of an owner send the owner car
check sheet showing day by day the
time his car entered and left the gar
age during the preceding month.
Another interesting feature prom
ised is the employment bureau, where
registration of chauffeurs shall be
kept, and competent, honest, sober
and careful men supplied to owners
at a small fee. This bureau will soon
weed out from the ranks those men
whose actions imperil lives and prop
erty and the grafters. ANY owner
storing in member garage shall
have the privilege of examining the
records OF applicants for positions.

SIMPLEX IS
SWIFT AND POWERFUL
TWO-CYCLE COREY CONVINCED
HE HAS GREAT CAR
Pasadena's Mayor Purchases a Mag
nficent Machine and Hard Run
to Mountains Vindicates
His Judgment

Mayor Thomas Farley of Pasadena
is much pleased with his new Amer
ican Simplex touring car. Last week
an excellent opportunity was offered
to test the magnificent machine over
difficult roads, grades and a diversity
of obstacles known to motorists. The
mayor and his family ran to Arrow
head Hot Springs. 1t was one Of the
hottest days of the season and the
powerful two-cycle car stood the test
magnificently. Despite the broiling
sun and the upgrade work with a
heavy load, the machine ran as cool
as if speeding along a sea beach.
George Farley the mayors son. is a
finished chauffeur and understands the
mechanism of his car as few drivers
do. The young man had no difficulty
in running the American Simplex. and
almost from the moment he first took
the wheel he was master OF the ma
chine. Although the younger Farley
was not familiar with the tWo-cycle
principle when the American Simplex
was first shown him, he had no diff
Guilty in grasping the manner Of op-
Grafton. From that moment on it
would have been difficult for any one
to have convinced him that he wanted
a car with all the valves. cams, rods,
springs, rockers and other devices Of
the four-cycle cars.
Two-cycle Corey Is Pleased
Richard Corey, or "Two- Cycle Co
rey," to use the sobriquet his friends
have attached to him, is more than
ever pleased with the American Sim
plex cars.
1.-The principle is right, the material,
workmanship and finish are right.
There is no doubt we have the best
machine on the market. We are hav-
ing little difficulty in convincing pros
pective customers that they want one
of these cars with the engine which
gives such a smooth, continuous flow
of power.
1.-The idea of an explosion with every
revolution, a cooling charge after
each explosion and an unbroken con
tinuity OF power appeals strongly to
every one who is approached on the
subject Here is an engine in which
the fiyWheel does not have to pull the
piston up and down on an idle stroke.
Each stroke means an explosion in
the cylinder, and the result is an even
ness of power which makes even the
big six-cylinder machines, built on the
four cycle principle look like faulty
mechanism.
In regard to the fexibility of this
car I will say that it is little short of
marvellous. I have driven dozens Of
makes of cars but in none Of them
have seen anything TO compare with
+ 5 one. On the direct drive high
gear the car can be handled up to and
above sixty miles an hour and as low
as one and a half miles an hour At
three miles an hour the car moves
as smoothly as at any higher speed
This is all on the high gear Shift
ing gears is absolutely unnecessary on

COMING SEASON WILL SHOW
LARGER TIRES ON AUTOS
Forty-tWo Inch Wheels Shown to Be
Quite as Safe as Smaller and
Will Improve Wear

Two years ago a motor car fitted
with forty-inch wheels shod with pneu-
matte tires was viewed with consider
able suspicion by many Of the manu-
facturers and the great majority of
buyers. The wise ones hinted that
wheels could not be made strong
enough to withstand the strain of turn
ing corners at speeds common with
thirty -six-inch wheels. Notwithstand-
ing this criticism one concern has mar
keted during the present season
high-powered car with forty -two-inch
wheels and no trouble has resulted
from racking Of these wheels.
For next year one or two Of the lead
ing makers of the country have an
nounced the use of larger tires on their
big cars. One concern heretofore using
nothing larger than thirty-six-inch
sizes, specifies thirty-seven inches on
one model and thirty-eight inches on
another. Before the close of the sea-
son more announcements on equipping
with larger than thirty-six-lnch tires
will be made, and it is now safely as
sured that thirty-six inches can be no
longer considered the maximum tire
size, but that this limit has been raised
to forty if not forty-two inches.
Tire sizes are increased for two rea-
sons, namely, their improved riding
qualities and to reduce the ultimate
tire cost. Although the tire manufac-
turers united and announced mini
mum tire size for certain axle weights,
1t is a fact that in many cases cars
have gone greatly understood and as a
result many tire difficulties have arisen.
The Glidden tour offered a few specific
examples of this.
In one instance car weighing empty
3100 pounds was f1tted with thirty-four
by four-inch tires in rear and the car
was continually having tire troubles.
In contrast with this was another car
fitted with one-half-inch larger sizes
on the front wheels, and which tires
gave no trouble from start to finish.
From these and other examples which
can be given it is reasonably safe to
conclude that a great fraction of tire
trouble is due to overload; that is, the
car loaded with passengers is beyond
the safety factor of the tire Increas-
ing tire sizes will do much to overcome
this difficulty.-Motor Age.

Old Stage Horse Here

w. D. Tremain. who operates the
Pope Hartford stage line between
Needles and Bouse, was in the city
last week Tremain is so enthusiastic
over his Pope-Hartford in the desert
country that he is planning on taking
the Pope agency for that territory.
He has run his car $4,000 miles, over
all kinds of roads, and has never
missed a trip. There has never been
a delay or breakdown.
Tremain is one of the best desert
drivers in the country. He has made
the run to Phoenix and has twice
driven his car on the trip to Los An
geles. No desert road, no matter how
deep in sand or how full of rocks it
might be, can daunt Tremain and his
Hartford. He tackles the worst of
the roads and always comes up
smiling.

If it can win half of the games played on the road and all on It's own gymnasium, the chances would be fine. As none of the league games will be played in Birmingham until February, 1t is hoped that by the next game with the Athletic club, the team will be in first class shape.

Interesting bits of gossip are going the rounds. It is said that Tom Fisher will be Atlanta's manager in 191os Billy Smiths contract expires after the close of the ensuing season. Percy Whiting has bitterly denied this report, but 1t re- mains current just the same.
 Friends of Fisher, on the other hand, declare that he will not go to Atlanta, that he will manage Shreveport of the Texas league, or go to St. Louis.
 Mobile has issued statement that there will be no Sunday baseball in that city during the ensuing season, which, inas- much as playing baseball on Sunday is forbidden in Alabama, is an excellent de- termination.
 The fathers of the league are looking forward to the schedule meeting in Mobile next month. Judge Kavanaugh, Dr. Inge of Mobile and MT.
