REAL CLASS SHOWN IN CONTEST
FOR LEON T. SHELTER TROPHY

four cars. The time OF the Stoddard
for eighty-four miles was l hour, 30
minutes and "a seconds, with the
Chalmers but 5S seconds behind and
the Buick a close third.
The fact that no entry had been
obliged to withdraw at the finish OF
the first half of the race was appre-
ciated by the crowd. and, responding
to the cheers, Seifert and Dingley be-
gan to draw away from the other
contestants At the end of the fifteenth
lap the cars were running consistently
and not single car had left the course
for repairs.
Complaint of Foul
Unofficial complaint was made IN
the fourteenth lap that the Regal had
fouled the Cadillac, and little later
a second complaint was lodged against
the Regal. Referee Garbut stopped
the Regal car, and after warning the
driver against crowding the other cars
allowed it to continue in the race.
At 1876 miles the Stoddard-Dayton
was but twenty-four seconds ahead of
the Chalmers-Detroit.
A slight mishap to the Stoddard in
the seventeenth lap gave the Chal-
mers the long awaited chance, and at
the end of the lap the Chalmers was
leading by l minute and 43 seconds.
In the next lap Things Degdn TO nap
pen. The Cadillac stopped for gaso-
line the Studebaker retired from the
race. and the chances Of the Buick
were lessened by the throwing of a
tire at the Soldiers home turn.
The Chalmers began to increase the
lead over sthe Stoddard and in the
last few laps the cars tore around
the course at terrific speed.
The Durocar, which had been per-
forming consistently, lost all chance
for honors by the breaking of a crank
shaft.
The last three laps were uneventful,
and the Detroit finished
anead in the time of 8 hours, So min
utes and 40 seconds.
Stoddard Was Second
The Stoddard was second; time, 8
hours. a. minutes, As seconds. Buick
car finished third in the time of 3
hours, 40 minutes and 80 seconds, and
the Maxwell was fourth in the time Of
3 hours, SO minutes and 95 seconds.
The light car race was a fine eXhi-
bition of the proper way of handling
autos, and the Chalmers-DetrOit justly
earned its claim to the Shelter trophy

A T 8 o'clock the cars were started on
Ii their long journey, the Apperson
"A being the first to leave the mark,
and it eventually proved that it was
never headed. Seifert who was driving
the stoddard, was late in getting away
from the mark, and the Apperson OBJ
tanned lead of 100 feet.
The other cars were sent away at
minute intervals, but the Chalmers-De-
troit did not show at the starting point
until the other cars had been given
the signal by Starter Shelter, and, as
a result. was handicapped by the start,
losing nearly six minutes and getting
away with the Chadwick
The Apperson was the first car to
make lap, the time being minutes
: 2-5 seconds. The Lozier made the
first lap in fast time, and passed the
Sudebaker Rambler and Premier the
Franklin being the second car to reg
lister a lap to its credit.
The Chalmers-Detroit set rapid
pace and tried to make up the time lost

driver, smoked a cigar as he circled
about the course.
The first accident reported was that
of the Stoddard- Dayton, which went off
the road at the Nevada avenue turn,
ripping off a tire and breaking the oil
connection. The damage was quickly
repaired and the car was soon on its
way again.
At the eighth lap the Lozier eased
up and like a flash the Stearns passed
into the lead, which marked the be-
ginning of a struggle that was con-
tinued until the end of the race.
Hanshue was carefully nursing his
car along the course and allowed the
Stearns to enjoy the first position for
short while, although, with the
time limit figured, the Apperson was
the virtual leader. At the tenth lap
the Rambler coasted down the stretch
and stopped at the paddock, and vet
eran Harvey did not bring his machine
on the course again.
In the meantime the Apperson, with a
fresh burst of speed, passed the Stearns
and again became the pacemaker. The
Thomas stopped for water in what
seemed to be the fatal tenth, and did
not enter the race again.
The Columbia had retired from the
race in the fourth lap which made
three cars out of commission before
the race was half over.
At the 100-mile mark the Apperson
was leading, with the time / hour, "a
minutes and 19 seconds; the Stearns
second, l minute and q seconds be-
hind.
The Chadwick Six was just begin
ming to take a prominent part in the
contest and nosed into second position.
The fourteenth lap produced clever
piece of jockeying by Hanshue, and,
in a wild burst of speed, he passed
the Stearns in front of the grand
stands.
The betting fraternity got busy when
it was known that the Apperson had
averaged over sixty miles an hour for
the first 100, as even money had been
offered before the race that no better
speed than fifty-five miles an hour
would be averaged.
At this point the race resolved into

DICK FERRIS COMES TO
RESCUE OF THIRSTY MEN
IN DUSTY PRESS STAND

When the race was hottest yesterday
afternoon the reporters in the press
box, tired and bedraggled from the long
hours of service, the timers on the
verge of collapse in the judges stand,
genial Dick Ferris came to the rescue.
Dick did not present cup to the press
men or the timers, but something that
could be served in cups.
A large bag was brought into the
press box, ana with CHEEKY "Go to it,
boys" Ferris walked away.
The "boys" went to it, and found a
nice assortment Of bottled deooction
OF Santa Monica brew that was inspir-
ing as well as refreshing
If any errors We're made after that
in the score, the blame should be placed
on Dick Ferris, but it was unanimous

at the start, and succeeded in passing
the LOcomobile.
The interest of the crowd soon
swayed from the lead of the Apperson
and was given to the contest between
the Stearns and the Locomobile. At
the end of the third lap, the Lozier led
the Stearns by 50 As seconds.
One Close Contest
For the first SO miles the Studebaker
and the Rambler had pretty contest,
being separated at the end Of the half
century mark by only 30 feet.
The Lozier quickly shot into the lime
light and the crowd began to realize
that a record breaking stunt was be-
ing enacted when it was announced
that Tetzleff had sent the LoZier
around the course, a distance slightly
over eight miles, in the remarkable
time of minutes so seconds.
At the end of the eighth lap the
Chalmers Detroit, which seemed partic-
ularly unfortunate, left the race with a
broken frame. The Columbia at this
time was going steadily, and Stone, the

sumed by the house today, further

and 20 per cent ad valOrem and that
mica cut or trimmed mica plates and

being reduced. -.7 ---,
A vigorous fight was waged on an
amendment increasing the duty on
round iron or steel wire smaller than
number 16 gauge from ~ to IA of a
cent a pound. 1t was claimed the pro-
posed increase was an outrage on the
, farmer.

ing the duty on round iron and steel
wire. smaller than No. 16, was voted
down 1856 to 146 and in it's stead there
was adopted q substitute presented by

ENOCH ON TRIAL.
Charged With Robbing Mrs. C. e.
Jewell of Her Purse.

Harve Enochs. the negro "bad
man" who has been concerned in
many cutting and shooting scrapes, in
the last of which he was the victim,
is on trial this afternoon upon the
charge of robbery. He is held on the
suspicion of having snatched purse
from Mrs. G. E. Jewell last winter.
One of the witnesses in this case is
Buss Cross, a negro who has been
"wintering" at Kansas City's popular
health resort, the workhouse. His
time is not out, but the Kansas City
authorities have kindly loaned him to
Shawnee county as a witness in this
case. Deputy Sheriff Ward brought
Cross from Kansas City last night, and
will take him back tonight if the
court is through with him. The Off
GERS suspect that Cross professed a
knowledge of the purse-snatching as
ruse to get away from Kansas City,
but it did not work out as he desired.

OH SAVE UP PLEASE.
State House officials About to Chal-
lenge Newspaper Men to Play Ball.

Now comes the state house gang
and talk of issuing a def to the news
paper men in the form of a challenge
to play a baseball game. 1t would
seem that the state house outfit, like
the Bourbons, learn nothing from ex-
perience. Some years ago they were
beaten on the diamond by former big
league stars now engaged in the news
paper business in Topeka, and yet
want to try again. Joe Longshore,
the new OIL inspector, and Charlie
Martin, the new adjutant general, the
latter a ball player, are behind the
plan to engage the newspaper men on
the diamond. It goes without saying
that this challenge will be eagerly ac-
cepted and the sure defeat for the
state house gang rubbed In the next
day in the papers.

Washington, April 8.-Great Britain
