SOUNDS FROM THE MUFFLER

SOUNDS FROM THE MUFFLER
c. j. Yeager. agent for the Paterson
Thirty, has received his racing ma
chine and it is his intention to hold
the car for it's first appearance in the
AItadena hill climb. The car is said
to be very fast, and Yeager expects to
make a first row drive with it on the
track.
Harold Stone is to drive the little
Marmon Saturday and Sunday next at
Ascot park. This is the car which Joe
Matson drove in the meets of last
week, and Stoney expects to get some
additional speed out Of 1t.
The REQ Bird is being equipped with
the Seeley ignition system preparatory
to next Sundays events.
Al Livingstone has been engaged to
drive in the Nineteenth avenue hill
climb In San Francisco March 20. lie
will ship his little Corbin by boat next
Monday morning and will accompany,
SO he may be constantly with the rae
ing machine.
Nick Nikrent was on tho Ascot track
Yesterday with the little white
Streak" Buick and was working hard
to turn the oval in 1904. The midget
seemed to balk at its game, but Nick
expects to have it in better humor by
Saturday.
The big Palmer-Singer racing car
for which the company sent o. werner
brand new engine because OF his
sticking to the racing game, was on
Ascot track yesterday, and Frank Sic
fert, with Danny Long pumping oil,
tore off a few miles at about 1902 and
1904.
The life of the promoter of races
these days is full of troubles and much
grief First, there are worlds cham
pions" who get licked to a frazzle;
second, there are cars that make poor
showings under alleged fast men, and
then 1t is hard to tell what cars are
to be entered on account of the action
OF the Dealers association, which
frowns on unlicensed cars participat-
ing against licensed machines, and
there you are.
Never has the Corbn been so fast as
it will be in next Sundays races, is
the claim of Livingstone, its driver. A
corps of mechanics are tuning the car
up to the finest notch, so that Har-
roun will have his hands full again
for Saturday and Sunday.
"Ex-World Champion" Ray Har-
roun has awakened from his dream and
Is inoculated with the betting bee at
this late hour. 1t is stated that he was
around yesterday offering to bet
million" that he will beat the Corbin
next Saturday. Maybe, maybe.
Before Harroun gets to betting away
all of his money it would be we'll to
delay further racing on the track and
put in practice work. He might en-
gage some good sand and cement mixer
in front of one of the thousands of
buildings being erected in this beauti-
full city and stand in front of him all
day, permitting the aforesaid mixer TO
shovel sand in his eyes so that he may
become accustomed to what will be
handed to him worse than ever next
time, because there will be some addi-
tional dirt throwers in big and little
cars who thrive on just that kind of
food from competitor.
Joe Matson, it is stated, went to
Fresno, where he was to have COM
municated with Manager Hempel, but
when the latter "long distanced' him
yesterday Matson had departed for
San Francisco. Looks as though the
solemn Matson will be among the
missing for Saturdays events.
When Bruno Zeizel arrived at the
track Sunday with his Sterling he
smiled and said: "Never mine, heV
something up my sleeve today for
thees boys" In the first time around
the track in practice he followed this
with the remark: "Ach, she mishing;
she's mishing."
No vehicle attracts more attention
on the streets than the Warner Meter
car. which records the speed, miles
and distance as the car operates on
the highways.
A "live one" got away from Motor
cvcle Policemen Coe and Gardner in
n local court the other day and tears
fell from the eyes of these two riding
hawkshaws because the man charged
with speeding asked for jury.
About the only eastern driver who
has little or nothing to say is Ende-
colt, driver of the little Cole Thirty,
hence Endecott did not get his eastern
tootsey -wootseys in it here.
A broad grin steals over the face OF
Frank 'Siefert, the well known and al
ways popular driver of the big Palmer
Singer Sixty-Six. Foxy Frank in prac-
tice made 1904 on Ascot, but he did it
with grin, and Siefert, it is expected,
has about five or six seconds more to
loosen up with the big racer.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany reports a very heavy increase in
its business since last Saturday night.
While the real reasons for this increase
are not disclosed by the officials of
that company it Is believed that the
volume of the business was explana-
tions to the factory as to why the
Marmon Forty-five lost the races as
Ascot.
Fifteen miles faster to the hour is
what Livingstone claims will be the
increased speed of the little Corbin
when she next appears on the track.
A two-minute horse could not be more
attentively looked after than this little
machine.
The "other noted drivers of Los An
geles are lining themselves up for
honors day by day, who will be
crowned worlds champion"
