The transcontinental record has been

the trip from New York TO Los An
geles in s27 hours. lowering the pre-
vious record of Ss2 hours. according to
the enthusiasts of the south Five and
half days of hard travelling was
made through rain storms, fording
swollen streams and over roads almost
impassable notwithstanding this fact
the car reached Los Angeles running
smoothly, the motor singing and meN
chanically in a perfect condition. Not
only was the record broken but a
record for durability of the Goodyear
tires with which the car was equipped
was established.
The distance travelled was close to
$500 miles, yet the entire trip was
made on one set of Goodyear tires,
which did not even show the wear.
Not even a puncture marred the trip
with these tires until nearly the end
of the trip, when Bigelow hit a sharp
piece of malapai rock and received his
first and only puncture. This was
easily repaired and the car came into
Los Angeles with New York air in
three of the tires

Dadeville, August 16.-(Special.) )-The victorious Chickashas, who have been marching through the state defeating all corners met their Waterloo in game when they ran into Dadeville's strong bunch.
 Dadeville played all home men and yet defeated this bunch of red skins which has lost only one game since entering the state. The feature of the game was a triple play by Dadeville. Dadevile peo- pie and others who have seen them play, while not admitting that Anniston or Selma or any of the other semi-profes- sional teams which have been claiming the state championship have anything on Dadeville, yet considering the fact that these teams include several salaried men and the Dadeville team Is composed of strictly home boys. think that Dadeville is clearly entitled to the amateur cham p,onship of the state.
 The batteries in the today's game were Newell and Brewer for Dadeville and Charlie Grayeyes and Little Rabbit for the Chikashas. The final score was to In favor of Dadeville. The Indians only run was made on an error.
