CRACK PILOTS
TO MEET TODAY
PLENTY OF CLASS ON ASCOT
PARK PROGRAM
Harroun, Endecott and Matson Must
Do Their Best to Win from
Livingstone and Other
Local Stars

With star drivers from all parts OF
the country the race meet which opens
at Ascot park this afternoon will take
on very much of a national aspect.
With three California drivers, one driv-
ing a local car, and three eastern
stars. the struggle for honors will be
a bitter one.
The cars were given their final tests
yesterday afternoon and the many
miles reeled off were close to the
minute mark and promise we'll for tho
contests this afternoon. The first
event today will be called at 2:3O
and there will be special street car
service on all lines going to the park.
The first coast appearance of Ray
HarrOun, worlds champion for all dis
tanees between twenty and 120 miles,
Joe Matson, winner of several of tho
big eastern road races last summer
and William Endecott, who distin-
guished himself on the Indianapolis
and Atlanta speedways, has aroused
much interest and the motoring public
promises to be out in force to compare
the work of these famous eastern
stars with that of the local men.
Los Angeles will be we'll represent
ed and the many races will be no
walkaway for the eastern drivers.
bdIHey OlulleIu was given d SURPRISE
when he came and found cars which
could make the circuit under a minute,
with men nervy enough to drive the
cars and Harroun, Matson and Ende-
colt, while they are the class of tho
meet, will have to work to win tho
cash prizes and the cups.
Matson Makes Debut
Matson is making his initial western
appearance and he will take any kind
of a chance to win. He has been MAX
ing some fast time with his car and
Will be prepared to take the turns
wide open to win the honors of the two
days racing Matson is one of those
drivers who has the lfnack of winning.
Some people say it is luck but when
man is successful in almost every
contest it means more than luck.
Harroun made some wonderful rec
ords in the east last season. He showed
that he was not only good track
driver but also a star on the road. He
won the Wheatley trophy over the
Vanderbilt cup course and from there
went to Atlanta, where he ran away
with all the honors. His records at
Atlanta will stand for many months.
In the Vanderbilt race he ran the en-
tire $50 miles without making single
stop. For such records Harroun has
been cassed as the long distance
champion.
Apart from the eastern stars there
is a fierce rivalry between the local
cars. The Pennsylvania and Corbin
have a grudge of long standing to set
tie. The Pennsylvania beat the Cor
bin in a fifty-mile race at Santa Ana
and the Corbin people have always
wanted to have chance to turn the
tables. This is their opportunity
The racing today will be full or
snap, as the longest event is only
twenty-five miles. This means lots of
sport and excitement.
The feature tomorrow will be a fifty
mile race for the Brock & Feagans
challenge trophy now held by the
Buick
