Arizona republican., 1910-11-08

Wlnging his way like simoom over the desert sands and slashing through the white settlements, Harvey Herrick native of this city, accompanied by O. w. Kern, drove the Kissel Kar to victory yesterday in the greatest nerve destroying road race that ever depend ed on wheels, luck, judgment and a gas engine. Contesting desperately for first place, the drivers no whit less venture some nor lacking in mettle, came the Pope-H Hartford, second, with w. D. Ire maine at the wheel. and the Franklin third with Ralph Hamlin driving like demon, but rather unwilling to ad- init it. When time was measured the Franklin was found to be in the second place in the race having put it over the Pope-Hartford by a narrow mar gin. The finish and the running time of the three cars in the money was as follows: Kissel Kar, arrived at 11:12 a m., running time 15:44; Franklin. ar rived at 11:21H a. m., running time 16:16A; Pope Hartford, arrived at 11:1S, running time, 17:17.
 The other cars arrived in the follow ing order: Mercer, with Bigelow and s. l.. Harris at the wheel, at 12:33; Rambler. piloted by Sheriff and Schriver, at 1:03 D. m.; Duro Car, driv- en by Charles Fuller Gates and Harry Bryan mechanician, at 1:14K; Parry, driven by Dull and Horine, at :16; Ve- lie, 1924, driven by J. H. Stickney; Ford, at 1:42, driven by E. Roger Stearns, Charles Harris mechanician; Ohio, at 2:56A, driven by Ross Hen wood and Dick Graeme, the latter of Phoenix; Apperson, at 4:21, driven by Harris NJ Hanshue and Lee Gehricke.
 As none of these cars are in the money their time is material only from curiosity and for information the read CT is referred to the table MT. Gates, who drove the DurOcar. says there are some inaccuracies in the time owing to the fact that incorrect information came through as to the arrival of the cars in Ehrenberg the night before. hence some of them started from the river five or ten minutes earlier or later than the hours in which they are placed in The Republicans table. These in- accuracies he says do not affect the | winning cars and probably do not af- | feet the position of any car finishing, | though the running time may be changed a little in some instances. This 1 however cannot be successfully | changed until the arrival of the check | CTS from Ehrenberg. when the records 1 will be accurately gone over.
 And speaking of checkers, what may | prove to be one of the most tragic | events of the race was reported last ! night about g o'clock to President Bull | lard in a telegram from J. L. Fremau. | one of the checkers, then at Salome | Fremau said his car turned turtle, the | steering arm and axle were broken and | sam Dunlop, the other checker was | hurt, he did not say how badly.
 The above describes the net results | of the race In important points. One | announcement is here made at the re- quest of President Bullard, as being the | best place to reach the eye of the au tomobile men. That is that the big | banquet will begin at 7:30 tonight in | the K. of P. hall and will be an inform al affair, no dress suits. Let all who | have tickets be prompt.
 Returning to the features of the race. 1 there is more of interest than can be told there is more of interest than can i be told in a dozen stories.
 c. L. Leppo, southern California dis tributor of the Kissel-Kar factory. wit ! messed the splendid finish of the Kissel | Kar at the fair grounds and later. in an | interview with The Republican. said: | T was confident from the first that the | Kissel would win and believe now that i the Kissel will stand more punishment 1 than any other car which was entered | in this long race. The onl~ suggestion | that I would have to make in connec- | ton with the event is, that another ] trophy should have been offered in ad- | dition, to The Republican cup for the ! car which finished in the best shape. | Had there been such prize the Kissel | would have won it.
 Tt has been stated that 30 per cent | is due to the drivers, 30 per cent to the | car and 40 per cent to luck. I say that | 50 per cent is due to the driver, 40 per cent to the car and equipment, as with out question the one essential thing to |
