SEVEN ENTRIES CERTAIN, POS
SlBLY FIFTEEN OTHERS
Great Italian Car Isotta, Speedy Corr
bin and Other Big Cars Are to
Be Made Do Some Hard
Fast Stunts

With seven entries certain, and a
possibility of fifteen others, there Is
every indication that the second race
meet of the Los Angeles Motor Racing
association to be held at Ascot park,
November 20 and q, will be the larg-
est, the most sensational event of the
kind ever held in the west.
The program for the first day con-
sists of a free-for-all ten-mile event, a
twenty -five-mie event for two classes
and a fifty-mile race. For Sunday there
will be a free-for-all 150-mile race.
These events will give cars of all
classes a chance to show their speed
and endurance, and there is no doubt
whatever but that the fifty and 100
mile records for Southern California
will be broken.
The track will be in better shape
than before, and Manager Hempel has
taken steps to eliminate the uus1
nuisance.
One of the attractions will be the
Isotta Fraschinni, which made such a
remarkable showing in the track race
at Phoenix Thursday. There is also
a strong possibility that the wonder
full six-cylinder Kisselkar, with the
daring driver, Harris Hanshue, will
appear.
At the Golden State garage on West
a
ing his presence felt during the last
week. The new conner is Frank Siefert,
who came here. from Salt Lake City
to take charge of the Palmer-Singer
car. Siefert was formerly racing man
for the Stoddard-D Dayton, and is known
as one of the most daring drivers OF
the west, and with such man at the
wheel of Palmer Singer, that car will
be a contender in any kind of an event.
II, around
the minute mark, and Siefert will be
able to get more out of it than nine
out of ten other drivers.
He has been given a very f1atterins
proposition by Manager o. Werner
and will be out to win when he goes or
| the track.
Another star of the meet will be thu
speedy little Corbin. which made sucf
| a cleanup at the last Ascot meeting
| Frank Free win be missed at tn,
wheel. but r. A. Heune promises tC
have a crack driver in his place.
The popular Carlson and Rogan VII
be on deck with their fast Winton and
they promised to do things in this race
This car surprised the crowds last
month by it's unusual bursts of speed
and will be a hard one to beat.
The Buick, which won the PhoeniN
I'd race, and the Pennsylvania, which
are expected entries. Local motorists
will be greatly interested in seeing
these cars and should they start they
will be a center of interest for the
crowds.
There has also been talk of Ralph
Hamlin entering a siX-cylinder Frank
| lin which failed to finish the PhoeniN
race on account of an unfortunate ac'
| cident. This car was the favorite IL
the long event, and much money was
lost as a result of its i'll fortune The
Franklin has made remarkable show
ings on the track and has always beer
a factor in other track events in which
it has competed. If it starts at Asco
| Guy Irwin will be at the wheel.
The Lee Motor Car company has
stripped the Cadillac and will have
this car ready to try conclusions witt
machines of any class. The Cadillac
Thirty is not a stranger to track enthu'
siasts in Southern California. anC
should it start in the 150-mile race, as
it expects to do, there will be hundred;
of Cadillac boosters in the stand.
There are a dozen other possible en-
tries. and it may be necessary to refuse
some of the late comers. Entries close
