the strength of the entire lower con-
struction. The frame is unusually
heavy, and has been trussed to give
additional strength, thus eliminating
the chances Of springing or breaking.
Another important feature is the steer
ing knuckle, placed over the axle, with
universal joints In all connections.
Charles Singer president of the
Singer Sewing Machine company, has
spared no expense to secure the brains
and the industry to carry out his plans.
o. Werner is the agent for the Palm
er-Singer cars for Southern California,
and with Frank Siefert, the noted driv-
er Of racing cars, has brought the
Palmers well into the foreground of
publicity by the plucky entries of his
cars in almost every event so far at
Ascot park.
Mr.. Werner, still determined to show
to the public that he has one of the
best automobiles in the country at his
hand, has ordered for Siefert big four
cylinder Palmer especially adapted to
racing in wheel base and power, and
when that machine arrives there Will
be the Palmer-S Singer in the foreground
of public attention.

At the same time the Herald man
could see that Barney just trembled
slightly as he made the break, for he
had been advised of what the Isotta
had done yesterday afternoon, and 1t
is not the opinion of this paper that
Mr.. Oldfield has any such car in the
Knox and that he can trim the Dago
on the race track with Harvey Herrick
at her Wheel This young star has
worked upon the car, knows her very
inwards now to the letter. and Barney
himself has no better, smoother, easier,
faster car than the reat Italian stock
car now in the hands of the Motor Car
Import company.
1t is stated that Barney is to return
here and make his word good If pos
sible to carry off every worlds record
on the circular track of Ascot park,
and 1t is to be hoped that the owners
of the Isotta will permit that hand
some and efficient piece of machinery
to go against the continual smashes
that Oldfeld takes at every machine
not Oldheld's.
The Isotta can beat that Knox car
hands down with the king himself at
the wheel. Come on, Fenner, and let
the public sees the splendid machine
you have trim the feathers from the
exultant and triumphing Barney Old
field. Let Los Angeles for once cap
ture some glory out of these automo-
bile contests and not let outsiders come
in here, ROB the larders and run off
with the turkey In the closets.

Auto King to Break One Mile Record

The Los Angeles Motor Racing asso-
citation has induced Barney Oldheld 10
return to Los Angeles after his north
ern engagement, and the automopIle
enthusiasts will have one more oppof-
tunity to see the king Of the track IN
action. January 9, a week from next
Sunday, will be the date.
An entire week will be spent In addl-
tional work on the track, and every
effort will be made to give Barney ms
coveted opportunity of reducing all rec
ords from one to twenty-five miles
A force of scrapers and rollers VIII take
the loose dirt from the turns ana re-
move the two or three bad bumps whlch
have developed during the recent race
meet.
Oldaeld will attempt to break the
worlds 25-mile record, which is now
held by De Palma in 22:59.3. Oldtleid
will also attempt to break the one-mlle
record, and considering the fact that
Barney drove a mile in 80 on the track
in its present condition, Oldheld hopes
to place the mark at 80 seconds, with
the improved condition of the track.
A. A. A. sanction No. 125 has been
secured by telegraph as Barney insists
that whatever records he makes shall
be official.

HANDSOME MACHINE
IS PALMER SINGER

The 1910 Palmer-S Singer demonstration
has arrived and is. indeed, a striking
car, having caused considerable COM
ment along the row. 1t is one of the
speediest cars ever brought to Los
Angeles, and looks the part. This
model is a six-cylinder, sixty-horse-
power, five passenger toy tonneau car,
with cylinders of 4Sx51a and cast in
pairs. The motor is one of the SIM
plest and most compact motors built,
being the latest production of an Ital-
ian designer who has designed many
of the most successful six-cylinder
motors. The accessibility of all parts
is an important feature. The dual sys-
tenn of ignition is used, with jump
spark and Bosch magnetic. The oiling
system Is both force feed and splash
The transmission is selective, with
four speeds forward and reverse, and
direct drive on third. 1t is geared 1 to
is on fourth. A multiple disk clutch,
running in oil, is used.

port and this city in the time of six
teen hours and forty-five minutes. and
this, be 1t recalled, included the time
of one hour that he was savagely
seized by the wild-eyed guardians OF
the peace in Santa Barbara and held
in abeyance for that time while some
good old Justice of the peace, who had
narrowly missed ever being noticed on
this good old earth, could be aroused
TO come down and hold the young
record breaker in bonds for his ap-
pearance later. Even this did not IN
clude all of his troubles in trying TO
smash the long held and coveted Los
Angeles-San Francisco record, for ne
made for the ditch with an obstreper-
Gus steering knuckle, and this delayed
him another forty-five minutes; but
with all these disasters Herrick made
his way into the City of Angels with
the record of 1915 we'll beaten by MS
own time of 1915, and from that date
to this his time stands unchallengeu
Yesterday afternoon The Herald man
dug up the Italian, and with young
Herrick at her wheel took bearings and
headed for Ocean Park, and thence Tor
the Palisade drive. determined to try
fout the handsome red machine which
has never had the opportunity to DEM

nipulate two wheeled vehicles, badged
and authorized to snatch speed-makers,
the big Italian reached the place of
safety from observation from these
two lynx eyes who hide behind houses
in vacant lots looking for "llve ones"
Arriving at the appointed and se-
selected spot, after a simple look at
her engines Herrick coolly took his
seat. while The Herald man held the
watch on the flying car to take aecu-
rately the time she would tear off the
mile. From the moment Herrick gave
the car the throttle the big machine
throbbed with the sensation of the
first opportunity she had had since
coming to the Pacific coast of trying
herself, what she could do, that the
car actually seemed to enter into the
spirit of the moment and with
ceaseless and steady cough of her en-
glnes she shot into the speedway at the
rate of sixty-five miles an hour. AS
she sped on the speedometer marked
up sixty-eight, then seventy, then
seventy-fve and as the stop-watch
of the observer clicked the passing

was tearing off the distance at the rate

twenty-three mark, and this in an up

Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-29

Returning to the starting point for
the third heat, a slight change was
made in her equipment when the start
was made for the trial of beating her
own mile over this mile course, and
like the wind she shot away, with an
automobile in her road which COM
PEELED her to swerve to the left for
passing point, but never Stacking her
speed the nervy and plucky young
driver of the Italian kept his foot on
the throttle and she swung by the
obstructive machine as though 1t had
been at anchor. The half mile post
showed :23 on the ticker, and when
she passed that post Herric,: leaned
over and said II believe she is run
ming on three cylinders"
Never for a moment did the car let
up in her terrific speed, however, and
when the watch was pressed for the
close of the mile she had made the
voyage in 40 1-5 seconds. Coming to
stop and raising the hood, the keen
hearing of Herrick displayed earlier in
the run that she was working but three
cylinders was proven by the fact that
one of the wires had become displaced
to the first cylinder, and hence she had
had the use of but three of the motive
powers which give her. the speed.
Well, 45 1-5 is traveling some for a
mile anywhere. Did you ever stop to
figure it out? When a machine gets
into the eighty -mile-an- hour class she
is going some, it may be believed, and
about as fast as the ordinary individual
wishes to run over ordinary roads.
That is not the only commendable
thing about this wonderful machine by
any means. No feather bed in the coun-
try is more comfortable than the Isotta-
Fraschini when tearing to atoms space
at the rate of eighty miles an hour
Not a particle of vibration. Not a
click or sound emanates from the en-
gines of this powerful machine, which
is guaranteed by the manufacturers to
make 100 miles an hour with ease.
With beautiful pulsations she whizzes
into the impeding air, animated APP
parently by the excitement of the oc-
casion, and relishing the work of the
hand guiding her.
And this is not all. Up the sleeve of

But with all the good work of Oldfield
In Los Angeles during the past week,
and amidst all OF the kind words that
have been said about his splendid per-
formances, there is something In view
for the king of the track to consider by
the time he gets through with his en-
gagements in the north.
Quietly sleeping In the gallery of
fame, without special attention being
raid to her has been resting a stock
car which has beer apparently neg
lected but not forgotten, at least by
The Herald. This ear is the magnifi-
cent stock car-the Isotta- E'raschini-
an italian built machine which had the
misfortune in the Phoenix race, almost
at the pole, to break steering knuckle.
The Herald remembered this ma
chine however, and witnessing the
time and method of winning with the
big Knox racing car in the hands of
Barney Oldheld. deemed it sufficient
that inasmuch as Oldfeld had author
lied the statement that "he would and
could beat any stock car in the state
of California, barring none, with his
big Knox" The Herald man found
that nervy youngster. Harvey Herrick,
had been busy on the big Italian racer
and mixed her up for fast machine.
Herrick, De it remembered. is the
young man who silently stole away
to San Francisco about a year ago
and sneaked out of that city with a
big car in the dead of night. pointed
his compass Los Angelesward and tore
away the record between the northern

self, and that with his big Knox car
he could beat any stock car in the state
of California.
In conversation with the now king
Of the race track just prior to his leav-
ing the city, Barney went another
notch and told the Herald man that
he would make a personal present OF
$3.50 to the driver who could beat him,
and as the remark was made young
and handsome Fred Shaw, who handles
the Knox when he is not in the dry
dock for repairs. turned from the ad-
Joining table and offered 5000 additional

would not have to pay the $3.50.
