CORBIN AGAIN
PROVES FAST
WITH FREE AT HELM WINS 3
EVENTS AT ASCOT
Five Miles, Ten Miles and Fifty Miles
Come Easy to Game Driver and
a Consistent Car That
Makes Good

Another time the Corbin car has
demonstrated it's capacity for speed and
endurance. At Ascot park at the meet
held there Saturday afternoon this
favorite little car demonstrated its
wonderful capacity for the race track
and came in at the end of each event
in which she was a winner just as
fresh and cool as the moment she
started in the runs.
The little car was in the most per-
feet condition, and with Frank. Free at
the helm the little car never had
chance to lose Free is one of the
coolest, level headed drivers that ever
sat at the wheel of a car in the United
States. Time and again he has demon
strated his ability, and uses the most
consummate judgment. Free never
pays the slightest attention to what the
other cars are doing in the getaway.
His car never misses a shot from the
time he gives her the throttle until he
has taken his Roadway, and is well off
on the track He has another fine
quality that is indispensable to any
driver. He seems to size up his OPP
ponents to a nicely, and when the cars
have entered the stretch Free seems to
have the question solved as to where
he is to land on the track, and some
how or other gets there. Close obser-
walton of his running was taken yes
terday, and for fifty miles that Cor
bin never varied three inches from the
road and path he had laid out for him
self in every miles of the course. At
the end of the race, when he knew he
had the poor Winton bottled properly
he eased up on his car and took the
latter miles of the race with slowed
speed and led the race we'll in hand to
the end. Free is young man, strictly
sober and attentive to his business,
likes the driving game, and it is the
safest kind of a prediction that Frank
Free will yet be heard of on very fast
tracks in the United States, where vic
tories will count for fame as we'll as
coin.
The Corbin again demonstrated
thoroughly that it is wonderful car
under any conditions. This is the same
little car that turned turtle and made
three somersau lts back in the CODE
race, and again turned from the course
at another race, was righted. and al
though not just the same as though
nothing had happened to her, resumed
her run and finished tenth in an en-
trance of twenty-four cars. The man
ner in which the little Corbin made
such supposedly classy and big cars as
the Winton look as though they had no
business in the race was the reason Tor
the loudest kind of applause from the
fine audience in the grandstand. The
Corbin, too, is but a $1,000 car, fully
equipped, and is about half the size and
cost of the bigger cars against which
she was entered

In the Columbia second. The others
were hopelessly distanced.
At 1850 Strang passed the grand
stand on his second lap, having re-
paired the broken radiator. At this
time he had six laps to make up.
Chevrolet, with his Buick, was out
in the fifth lap because of broken
cylinder
Aitken was out in the fifth lap be-
cause of the loss of a wheel.
Atlas Makes Good Showing
By a tremendous burst of speed Ed
ward H. Parker brought his Fiat into
the lead in the twentieth lap, Chal-
Detroit second, Also third at that
time.
Atlas No. S, driven by Elmer Knox,
went off the track at H1cksVllle.
Strang abandoned the race to hegaln
place among the survivors, and tine
field at the conclusion of the thlr-
teenth lap was reduced to five cars.
Knox brought the Atlas back into
action and made a superb showing,
but he had lost too much time to re-
cover his position.
The time then mentioned was a.
shade better than sixty miles an hour
The casualties in the two small car
classes were not great four of the
six starters in the Massapaqua race
nnlShlng tne ten laps Cdpeu Aoi'
In the Wheatley Hills race two cars
furnished the prescribed fifteen laps
Those to fall by the wayside We're the
Maxwell of Costello, the Chalmers
Detroit of Brown, the Marion of Mum
son and the Moon of Wells.
chaImers-Detroit Wins
The Massapequa was won by Joe
Matson, driving the Chalmers-Detroit
No. AZ, in 1852 2-5 Martin Dorley'
driving No. 46, Maxwell, was second,
and Arthur See, driving Maxwell No.
Al, third.
The Wheatley Hills sweepstakes was
won by e. w. Harround, driving the
No. 43 Marmon, who covered the III
teen laps of the course, or 1880 miles,
in 3:10:21 2-5. The only other car to
finish was the Columbia No. 80, driven
by Wilcox.
