APPERSON AGENT MAY
RACE ANY GAS CAR
White Manager Cuts Loose Any Strings
on Jack Rabbit and Says His
Money Against Any
other Car

Interest grows apace as the time ap-
proaehes for the Ba1dy run Of tomorrow
morning. Chanslor & Lyon, who are
the official Stockholders, yesterday
called up the White Motor Car com
pany and advised General Manager
Cummings Of the White company that
the $500 placed the day previous as q
wager on the White against the Apper-
son was not deemed binding by Mr..
Shelter, who claimed that he was not
bound to enter the Apperson but could
enter any car he saw fit in the race,
and the Stockholders so advised
Cummings.
TIis did not seem to bother the
White manager in the least, for let
ter was at once addressed to Chanslor
& Lyon which is given below, the con-
tents of which speak for themselves:
Los Angeles, Ctl., Sept. II, 1909.
Chanslor & Lyon, 945 So. Main ST.
City.
GentIemen-Regarding our converse
ton over the telephone this morning as
to my placing the $500 on the Whlte
Steamer against the Apperson l desire
to state that I want to bet this money
on the White Steamer and am perfect
ly willing that Mr.. Shelter have the
privilege of entering any gasoline car
he desires, whether it is the Apperson
or any other, if he thinks any other
car would have a better chance than
the Apperson against the White.
1 am so firmly of the belief that the
White Steamer will defeat any type of
gas car on the Badly course that do
not care what kind of a car he enters.
I have the utmost confidence in the
White Steamer, and whether or not Mr..
Shelter desires to substitute another
car for the Apperson it makes no differ
ence to me, so let it be understood that
the $500 is on the White Steamer
against any automobile Mr.. Shelter
cares to enter.
Thanking you for your kindness in
this matter L beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
WHITE MOTOR CAR CO.

stearns Are Coming

For the first time in many moons the
face of genial C. C. Slaughter is
wreathed in smiles. The cause is the
receipt of a telegram from the Stearns
factory at Cleveland saying that they
will comply with Slaughter's order 20
ship a carload of his order for cars by
express. This carload will cost over
one thousand dollars express charges
alone, but when it comes to an exhibit
ton of nerve in business and the desire
to accommodate the many waiting pat
rons for the new Stearns, expense is
not considered by Slaughter. The car
load will be shipped September 20.
which will make the car due in Los
