MOLINE SHOWS WELL IN
DIFFICULT AUTO TOUR
Went Through with PenaIization
of but Nineteen Points.
Makers Satisfied

The Chicago trophy given by the
Chicago Motor club as the prize in
the roadster and toy tonneau division
of this years A, A. A. tour. has been
won by Neil Van Der WORT, who drove
No. 100 Moline through as hard a con-
test ever run under national auspices
and who went through with the low
est penaization score of any in either
division. While the Premier had fewer
points against it on the road. the
Moline carried off the hOnors in the
technical examination that was held,
and il was announced by Referee
Whiting that the verdict Of the tech
nical committee gave to the Moline
the bronze plaque.
The Moline is charged with nineteen
points-twelve for road work and only
seven for the final examination. The
microscope of the technical committee
today could discover but little wrong.
Five points were given for a front
wheel bearing being loose and two
for impaired fan blades.
While a roadster and only compelled
to carry two passengers, No 100 went
through the tour with four persons
aboard. II maintained its eighteen
miles an hour schedule all the way
and was on time at every control.
The Moline people also had the salts
faction of finishing all three of their
cars. No. 102 was a good third, while
No. 101 made a record in that it had
only three points charged against it

PILOTS HAVE A HARD
TIME KEEPING AWAKE
Sixteen-Day Drive Proves Hard
Grind in the GIidden
Tour

NEW YORK, July 16.-Almost crazed
from fatigue and the want of sleep
after trying vainly to keep awake
during the ceaseless drive of sixteen
days and depending largely upon road
iolts to prevent doing off into slum-
ber while their cars were running, the
drivers in the 1910 Glidden tour lost no
time i'm "hitting the hay the min
ute they completed their 2S5O-nile
schedule i'm Chicago. That they were
tried to the limit of human endurance
merely tells the truth.
John J. Coffey, who returned cast
after paCemaking the strenuous tour,
had severe arm and face burns from
the hot sun, while the hotter winds
had tanned his skin to the color of
sole leather Coffey tells most re
markable tale of his efforts to keep
awake while at the wheel Of the Co
lumbia official car.
"The most difficult work Of the whole
run was to keep awake says Coffey.
"Thc hot wind seemed to strike us at
the point of the eyebrows. and 1t was
an effort to keep from going to sleep
at the wheel. Both the passengers and
myself were thus affected. 1t was hard,
too. TO get up i'm the morning, which
we had to do at or o'clock, accord
ing to the length of the days run and
the kind Of going encountered,
1T isn't fair to call this years event
a road event Ploughed fields would be
far easier to go through. We went
through river bottoms, some dry and
some still good sized streams, and
fords were very common. Sane of the
many cars which quit the run retired
because of the number of fOrds en-
cOuntered."

ACCESSORY MEN LOWER
THE DEL MONTE RECORD
Leonard and Mohrig Succeed in
Capturing Handsome ChanS-

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-It has
remained fer two men not in the auto

round trip record between San Fran

of the San Francisco branch of the
W. D. NeWerf Rubber company, and
Eddie MOhrig. city manager of the
Moore Motor Supply company, yester-
day annexed the handsome trophy Of
fered some months ago by the Chansor
& Lyon Motor Supply company. The
elapsed time for the round trip was ten
hours and thirty-tWO minutes, the dis
tance covered being approximately 25O
miles.
Leonard and Mohrig left Golden Gate
and Van Ness avenues at 4.10 o'clock
yesterday morning and made the run
down to Del Monte i'm four hours and
thirty-seven minutes, their time of ar
rival being SAT o'clock. After a brief
rest the return trip was begun and
the car checked in at Golden Gate and
Van Ness avenues at 2:42 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The total time from
start to finish, therefore. was ten hours
and thirty-twO minutes. The best
previous time was twelve hours and
twelve minutes Leonard, of course
had his car shod with Goodyear tires
and he reports that they gave perfect
service. He attributes a goodly share
of his success to this fact, no delay
being caused by the tires and the car
itself working we'll
Speaking yesterday Of the record run,
Leonard said: 1T may not look like
much Of A feat to make this run, but
when you're after record it certainly
becomes strenuous work. During the
greater part of the way down we were
bothered Cons..erably by the dense
ness Of the fog, but otherwise found
ideal conditions. All along the line
after the rising hour we brought the
bewildered inhabitants to windows and
doors to gaze after us as We dsap-
peared i'm a trail of dust. The ear
worked with perfect regularity
throughout the run. There was not
single hitch"

Mac Purcell Gives Wife Auto as
Wedding Anniversary Present

When a driver is hurled from rae
ing auto going at seventy miles an
hour, and after breaking the guards Of
a grandstand falls headlong into a
woman's lap without having been in
troduced, what should woman do
under the circumstances?
The above covers the romantic in
PRODUCTION, courtship and marriage OF
Mac Purcell the Schebler Carburetor
expert. Mac was driving at Latonia
two years ago in a Napier and when
the accident occurred flew into space
and met his future wife. AS he was
hurt the woman couldn't dismiss him
as being fresh, so she accompanied
him to the hospital, and frequent in
quiries for him during his conval-
escence gave Mac an additional jab of
one of Cupid's darts. He was too gal
liant to pull the dart out. SO waited
until he was we'll and asked his fair
friend to kindly leave it there. This
pretty little Kentucky belle took more
than a sisterly interest in him. and
now Los Angeles is the richer by the

gether with pretty little baby boy and

Thirty different cities besides Buff

Parry Auto company. Nearly the same
number of states are represented by
these towns. and have caused the
Parry company no end of worry as to
just what choice, if any. is advisable.
The total acreage offered has been
enough to cover several of the world s
greatest factories, and would almost
make a state in itself, while the ag-
gregate capital which these proposals
have brought ar ounts to several mil
lions.

yet made any conclusions as to the
many oVertures it has received. Com
mittees from every conceivable part of

TRIP OVER SIERRAS TO

was a complete success.
After crossing the Sierra range be-
yond sacramento. Bowman sent his
Cadillac ahead at good speed and
made the remarkable average Of 225
miles day. Considering that this Is
one of the severest trips taken in "A

this tour as one of the achievements of
the season. Bowman went through
with practically no trouble and is now
using his Cadillac to tour through the
middle western states If he finishes
his business before winter it is highly
probable that the Cadillac will be sent
over the same route on the homeward
