The first shipment includes the 35-45

town car with Rothschild landaulet
body. Another shipment is expected
shortly, in which a 5000 horse power
six-cylinder car will be included.
Mr.. Leavitt is very enthusiastic in
speaking of the merits of the Renault,
"the car guaranteed for life" He
made a very careful study of every
phase and part of the car during his
recent trip east before finally taking
the agency, and is certain that he has
a winner.
'"While the Renault is foreign car
said Mr.. Leavitt yesterday, lit should
be remembered that in addition to its
own peculiar merits 1t is constructed
especially to meet the requirements of
American roads and will meet every
test of this kind. Then. too, we have
a factory branch in San Francisco, and
a large stock of spare parts will be
kept constantly on hand here in Les

report Lowe gives the official time of

leaves the time Of the Jack Rabbit

GREAT DISPLAY OF CLASSY

lsotta and Renault Will Be New
Machines for Public to See
in Mile-a.Minute
Cats

The second OF the seasons track
meets has been announced for Ascot
park, November 20 and 81. and from
present indications the entry list will
comprise the fastest as well as the
classiest motor cars which have ever
competed on a California track.
The last series of races, while they
were interesting, fell short in that the
same cars competed in the different
events. This has been remedied by
Manager Walter Hempel for the
forthcoming meet. and the program
offered is one of the most attractive
from a spectators standpoint which
could be arranged.
On the opening day there will be a
ten-mile free-for-all open to any
motor car. This event will bring out
such speedy cars as the Issota Fran
chinni, the Renault, the Corbin, the
Palmer Singer and possibly the speedy
six-cylinder Comet which has shown
over eighty miles an hour on the
road.
The second event will be twenty-five

agement for Opening Day of Six
Months Season of Fast
Racing

Even money is being waged on the
Samuelson-De Roster $500 match race
at the Coliseum motorcycle track this
afternoon, where week ago De Roster
was a hot two to one favorite. This
change in the betting is due to the
remarkable change in form that has
occurred in Samuelson since his last
appearance on the track and from the
work he has been doing the past two
days on his preparation for the match
race this afternoon.
Put IL down in your book that l am
going to beat De Roster, and beat him
I'm such a manner that there is no
doubt left in the minds of the public, :"
is the way that the Salt Lake race
fiend expressed himself yesterday after
noon after the two hard days of prac-
tice on the Coliseum saucer.
Samuelson arrived in the city late
Thursday afternoon, but was at the
track early Friday morning and has
practically camped there ever since.
He has come on to Los Angeles with
but one idea I'm view-to defeat De
Rosier-and If he fails he will be worse
disappointed than will be Jim Jeffries
II he fails to slip over a knockout to
johnson when they meet next spring.
To defeat De Roster means a fortune
for Samuelson. To lose means another
iOiB wait lOI " 81 " AA' Up
Tather than meet defeat II is moral
certainty that he will risk life itself to
take away De Rosters honors, while.
on the other hand. for De Roster to be
defeated means the loss Of all that he
has contended for at risk of life and
limb for over three years So. with
so much at stake between the two
men, ii is a certainty that, so far as
the public is concerned, n wheel
duel will be fought that win possess
more intensity of struggle than is wit
messed in the ordinary commonplaces
of human contest.
Samuelson is fit for the struggle.
He has been on a track nearly every
day for the past four months. racing

Lake at least once a week since he
left this city at the close of last

raw recruit. he returns a seasoned vet

against him in this afternoons contest
would look to he a risk of money and
an exercise of the rankest kind Of
judgment.
The match is for $500 put up by the
management, winner to take all. TO be
decided by the best two out OF three
heats of ten miles each.
LinGenfelder, the Alhambra profess
sional, who scared De Roster out Of
the game last spring. ill be at the
track this afternoon to challenge the
winner, and this fact alone will add an
intensity to the racing situation which
will induce many fans to turn out to
watch the opening of what promises
TO be the greatest struggle on the sau-
Ger track ever witnessed on any
course in this country.
Wild Bill" Ruess has been selected
as the referee for the afternoons races.

times around the circuit, and there
viii. be three classes. Glass A will be
for cars costing 1851 to $125O. The
next class will be for cars costing
S1251 to $4,000, and the third class Will
be for SPOOL to $4,000 cars. This Will
give the machines of every class
chance to compete in their own classes.
All classes will start together but IN
awarding the prizes the finishes IN the
different classes will be considered. The
longest event of the day will be fifty
mile free-for-all open to any motor car.
The first prize is a challenge trophy
and S25 in cash each week until June
l. to be defended not oftener than once
a month.
This event is practically filled before
the entry blanks have reached the
hands of the contestants. Already
Hempel has received assurances
that the Isotta Franchinni racer which
arrived last week will contest. rms
is a car with a wonderful record and
bids fair to endanger some of Barney
OldfielPs Southern California records.
Frank Free is being talked of as a
driver for this car.
r. 7. Leavitt has declared his in
tention of entering a Renault, ana
when Ieavitt enters anything 1t means
the dust will fly. He has won or been
a prominent factor in everything ne
has ever entered. and this race
nromises to be no exception. 1t Is
rumored that Basle will pilot the
Renault.
THE big Palmer Singer six which
made such a creditable showing at the
last meet will be in again, and this
time with that we'll known driver
Frank Siefert at the wheel. Q. Werner
has closed with Siefert to take charge
of the car, and this means that some
miehtv fast time will be made If the
8. is beaten. Siefert Is an eX-
nerienced racing man and will take as
MANY chances as the next man. He
is fine mechanic and is one or the
hest men in the country for tuning up
car for racing. Werner made g
valuable acquisition when he annexed
Siefert.
Billy Carlson will again be behind
the wheel of his car. HIS car maze
a good showing at Ascot and Carlson
won a great following by his plucky
driving. He bids fair to be one of the
most popular drivers on the track. III
is reported that his driving won a
hacker who is willing to wager any
amount on the boy.
Leon Shelter has practically stated
he will enter a car, and the Comet six
is mile-a-minute car promised, and
the Pennsylvania and Buick are al
most sure to start.
This means racing which will be
sensational in the extreme.
Sunday there will be one big event,
10O-mile free-for-all. open to any
motor car. In this event there will
be most of the cars named above and
possibly several more.
The Lee Motor Car company has
taken one of it's 1910 roadsters, and
the body will be removed this week
and a racing body placed on it. This
car will be entered in the 150-mile race,

Goodyear's Big Contract

The w. d. Newerf Rubber company,
agent for Goodyear tires, has received
news that the General Motors COM
pany, manufacturers of the Buick au-
tomobiles, and also of the Oldsmobile,
Oakland and Welch automobiles, and
Reliance truck, have given the Good
year Tire and Rubber company 1910
contract for tire equipment. This deal
is of no small magnitude, as the CEN
eral Motors company manufactures
thousands of cars. That this gigantic
organization should have selected
Goodyear tires as part of its equip
nent speaks very well indeed for this
popular tire.
This. in connection with the fact that
