GRAVES TO ENTER
PROFESSIONAL RANKS
Young MotorcycIists M Are Expected to
Make Good Showing in Next
Coliseum Event

The motorcycle and automobile
tracks are to be dark today in the
stage vernacular. The next event, how
ever, for the motorcycle track is
scheduled for January 80, when NJ. j.
Graves will make his debut into the
ranks of the professionals for the first
time, and as there is to be a half-hour
race the occasion will be auspicious
for this youngster to break into the
ranks of the pros"
In the columns of the amateurs
Graves has made some remarkable
rides, among which may be mentioned
the 1OO-mile race in which he carried
off the honors with the time of 7;49
to his credit, and in the two-hour
record made the mileage roll up to the
1341a for the 120 minutes. On the
local Coliseum track Graves made the
mile in As 2-5 seconds, SO that the
older professionals who will be on the
track Sunday, January 30, will have
to look well to their laurels.
whittier too has astonished all
those who have been paying attention
to the motorcycle races because of the
wonderful work done by him in the
last 100-mile race on the saucer track.
Whittier led De Roster all the way for
miles until the breaking of his axle,
when he made the spill which carried
him for 800 feet along the track
Jumping up, he actually ran to the
home stand for his other machine. He
Tapped De Roster when within three
miles of the finish, and had it been
for just a little longer distance it is
generally conceded that Whittier would
have defeated the Frenchman.
The timing of the last races at the
Coliseum was excellent. The Whitley
Jewelry. company had five stop watches
on hand, and there was no variation in
any of the scorers records. The motor
cycle racing events are exciting the
greatest interest in this city, where
they have the fastest and best track in
the United States, and January 30 will
see a series of numbers on the pro-
gram which will prove interesting to
all who attend.

BIG AUTO COMBINE
MADE IN WISCONSIN
MITCHELL MAKERS JOINED TO
LEWIS COMPANY
Farm Motor Cars Will Be Made as
Well as Cars Already Well
Known on Pacific
Coast

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-The most impor-
tant and sensational move that has oc-
Cured in motor circles for many years
was the amalgamation at Racine, Wis,
yesterday of the Mitchell Motor Car
company, makers of the Mitchell auto
mobile, and the Mitchell and Lewis
company, limited, makers of farm and
spring wagons since 1884 The new con-
Germ, which will be known as Mitchell
Lewis Motor company, is capitalized at
100000 and is headed by William
Mitchell Lewis, son of William L.
Lewis, who has heretofore been at the
head of both concerns. Every dollar S
worth of the stock is held within the
Mitchell and Lewis family lines, and
there will be no bonds or floating in
debtedness. The combination of the
two concerns is made necessary by the
rapidly increasing demand for their
products, which neither has heretofore
been able to fill. 1t is a most striking
example of prosperity. The facilities OF
the two concerns which reNbrought so
close together will permit the manu-
facture of all bodies, springs, castings
and every solitary part and detail OF
pleasure cars, motor trucks and motor
farm wagons.
Will Increase Product
The object of the new concern is to
continue the manufacture of Mitchell
cars on a greater scale than heretofore,
of farm and spring wagons, motor
trucks, light motor delivery wagons and
a light combination motor business
wagon for farmers use. The regular
farm and spring wagon product which
has been manufactured by the Mitch
o11 T limited
largely increased so that orders from
all parts of the world may be filled
promptly. This also is true of the prod
uct of the Mitchell Motor Car compa-
ny, and large additions to both facto-
ries will be started at once to care for
the largely increased output.
The present force of skilled employees,
which numbers 2S00, will be materially
increased within month and the new
CORPORATION thereby becomes one of the
greatest in the world. Notwithstanding
the amalgamation, the farm and spring
wagon department of the new company
will be looked after by the same family
line which has been in charge for near
ly 100 years
Factory Covers Many Acres
The combined concerns cover a terri
torv of sixty acres at present, employ
28O0 men and have a monthly pay roll
in excess of S15O,OOO, which will be in
creased. William r. Lewis, who has
been at the head of both institutions for
many years, will retire from active
work, but will remain in an advisory
capacity as chairman of the new board
of directors.
Beautiful new executive buildings are
nearing completion rapidly, as this
amaIgamation has been under advise
n,ant for some little time. The COM
bined business for the two concerns for
191O-that is to say, orders that have
been received and will be filled
amounts to between ten and twelve
million dollars.
Both concerns are in remarkably
prosperous condition, and it is not pos
sible for anyone outside the Mitchell
and Lewis families to purchase a dol
lars worth of stock.

WOMAN DONATES CUP

Miss Mabel McCane, who has donated
a silver trophy to bear her name for a
special event In the first race meet of
the new year to be held by the New
Orleans Automobile club during Mardi
Gras week, is one of the most enthusi-
astic motorists in the country. She has
attended numerous meets and always
has been one of the most enthusiastic
motor fans present. This year she has
decided to further the game of auto
racing by donation Of a silver loving
cup as a prize to be awarded in a free
for-all event at New Orleans, and has
announced her intention of having one
of her own cars entered in the contest.

CHICAGO. Dec 22.-There has been about as

the official forecast is for clearing weather

Corn ranged higher partly on the wet wealth

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Operations in
the stock market today bore the fa-

restricted even more than usual to the
better known issues, and i'll those fuc-

to rob them of any significance. Room
