Once again the Herald automobile
able to develop great automobile
power and superior driving flesh in
the little car Moline. with Harold
Stone as chauffeur, for Monday the
Herald man accompanied the car to
the Coliseum track, used exclusively
for motorcycle racing. and. running
the car on the track, demonstrated
that his car, although still in her low
gears, can produce mile records which
will astonish the country.
With Stone at her wheel this little
machine was sent around the track at
at a mile-a- minute clip without the
slightest trouble, and time and again
in the three and one-half laps to the
mile bent pace with the watch held
on her by Manager George I. Kramer
which proved conclusively that the lit
tie Moline has in her all that has been
claimed by The Herald.
The proved fact is so strong in the
minds of the few who saw the car per-
form that Harold Stone is convinced
there is no motorcycle racing rider who
can beat him, and as the program ar
ranged by Manager Kramer of the
Coliseum track includes a half-hour
race he is ready to join in the chal-
which is that he will race any motor
cycle rider at present in Los Angeles
Sunday, January 80, for mile or five
miles, Lingenfelder. Whittier or Dare
devil Derkum preferred.
AS The Herald has claimed, this little
car when geared as she should and
will be within the next few days, will
prove she is one of the fastest cars in
the city. Until a later car for which
to, anris, trr@ixT in
the city there will be enough excite
ment aroused by the Moline to make all
wonder how in the world the automo-
bile department of this paper dug up
the car.
Not only this, but the facts as dem
onstrated by the Moline have caused
more excitement that ever has been
known in the racing game. Harold
Stone. who won the San Diego record
with the little Columbia and went sec
ond into Phoenix with a broken frame
in this same car in the long race, met
AL Livingstone of the Seeley Ignition
system, whose car developed a 5S Is
seconds record on Ascot Park track
only a week or so ago. Speaking OF
what the Moline could do Livingstone
said: well, you may have a car that
can do all that, but the car [ operate
can trim you at any stage OF the
game"
DO you think SOP asked young
stone. who has driven the San Fran
cisco-Los Angeles run tWenty-siX
times and has made a record with the
cars he has driven which will compare
favorably with any of them. well,
Just to show you what | think about
the car I have just driven with the
Herald man on the saucer track II
drive YOU a race Sunday. January 30,
or at the next meet at Ascot park for
a $50 suit of clothes, just between you
and me. to show you that your car is
not in it with the red wagon | have out
there on the street at this moment" !"
And right there and then the bargain
was sealed and delivered, and it may
be believed that both of these nervy
drivers will go after that suit of clothes
as though their heads depended on it.
And the Herald man insists he has
dug up a machine which will worry all
the fellows in the game, and the little
car sells for so small a figure that 1t is
almost a shame to place her against
the big fellows.
