New Orleans, February 1S.-(Special)- The champions are here! Lewis 6trang, the road-racing driver winner of the Sa- vannah, Briarcliff and Lowell road races, only driver who ever won three great road races In succession, favorite or the New Orleans automobilist, is here, ready for the big speed carnival which starts next Saturday afternoon.
 Not only did Strang arrive from the north, but Ralph DePalma, the champion track driver, also got in from Chicago, where he took in the auto show. This pair of world beaters are two of the most wonderful drivers known to the automo- bile game. Strang surpasses DePalma in road racing while the Italian has put 1t over the American at the circular track game, breaking Strangs wonderful circu- lar track mile record of :51 3-5 a few weeks ago, putting the mark down to :5l flat.
 The rivalry which exists between the two is great, each of them being em- ployed by Italian concerns. Strang drives the Isotta, the unbeaten road car, while DePalma pilots the Fiat Cyclone, which seems to be invincible on the track for which 1t is especially constructed. De- Palma holds all track records up to five miles with the wonderful machine, and is going to make desperate attempt here to get everything up to 50 miles with 1t. Strang has fitted his Isotta up for track work, and it will be given its first work over the treacherous turns of an oval on Saturday. The wise ones of the game have already awarded the 100-mile event to Strang, even over the great George Robertson, the winner of the Vanderbilt cup race and the A-hour record holder.
 Strang and DePalma shook hands for

HIGH SCHOOL WINS
 FROM OWENTON BOYS

Yesterday afternoon the High school and Owenton college played as snappy game of basketball as one cares to see. The High school started the game with its usual snap and vim, and before Owenton knew what had happened Thomas had points. Owenton then took brace, Lam bert shooting a long goal. However, the High school recovered quickly and Streit shot a long goal which was followed by Strange shooting a quick down.
 The first half ended with the score + to in favor of the High school. Owen ton rushed the school in the first part of the second half and came within 3 points of tying the score. But this was the closest that they got, the school boys doing excellent work. l.. Strange, at guard, held his man down excellently. while A. Thomas was effective in keep ing the ball down at the High school end of the floor.

Harris started the scoring for the Athletic club juniors. but a beautiful shot by Jennings tied the score. From this time on the game was fast and the splendid work of the guards prevented many shots. In a few minutes beautiful goal from the edge of the court by Hamilton was followed by

 The trip which Mobile begins Tues day will decide the rub In case Mobile follows the example of every other Southern league team and loses every game off her floor, the Birmingham Athletic club will win the champion ship. If Mobile wins two games on the trip she will cinch the champion ship for herself If Mobile defeats the Birmingham A. c. and loses to all other teams, there will be a tie between all four teams. If Mobile wins only one game and Is defeated by the Birming- ham A. C., then the tie will be between Birmingham and Mobile. This last seems the most likely.
