Arizona republican., 1910-11-08

| the results obtained was in the judg-
 ment of the operators"
 It was learned, though not from Mir Leppo, that the Kissel Kar drove more
 of the time in the dark than any oth- CT car, owing to its leaving dates, and that more than half of its race was
 run without daylight. One clever turn
 Dn the part of Driver Herrick was
 when he had provided himself with &
 new cargo of oil and water at Blythe. Arriving there with the likelihood of no car passing him he took on the new cargo and was ready yesterday morn ing for the fray, without having to stop outside of control to reload. Herrick is a fearless driver and in last years race had the wheel on the Isota. He is a son of the late Newton Herrick, the driver being a native of this city Phoenix can get a little glory out of that fact.
 The Franklin, which takes second place, also made an effort to be proud of. Hamlin certainly did himself proud even if he did not win, and he is a dead game sport. He told a Republican re-
 porter that the only trouble he had with his car was that he had to wipe the dust off his speedometer occasion ally. He had positively no trouble of any sort, tire or anything else. And speaking of Herrick he said that the race was a clean and fair one. That he, Hamlin, had driven just as fast as he wanted to over that kind of a road He might have made better time by taking longer chances, but he believed safety was one object as well as speed. Herrick merely took a little more chance than he did and got away with it, as he said, beating me fairly at my own game" Speaking of his next con- testant, Tremaine, he said it was sim ply appalling the way that man hurdled the chuckholes and glided over the ragged roads. He drove most amazing ly and took desperate chances, some times having to stop and tinker up. and it was then that he, Hamlin, would pass him again. The Pope beat him into Phoenix in one of Tremaine's swift spurts in which his knowledge of the local road helped some. It occurred in the vicinity of the ostrich farm. Ham lin turned north; Tremaine kept on his way a short distance and then he turned north, cutting in ahead of Ham lin.
 And of Tremaine, the game sport who handled the Pope. there are only words of commendation every where for his fine effort to land The Republican cup in a home garage. He drove the car all the way himself from start to fin ish. as did Hamlin and some of the others, and made a record between Los Angeles and San Bernardino. A. E. Gage was his mechanician. Ruse was not with them, as reported. His troubles began this side of Mecca and were tire troubles exclusively, though the principal difficulty was in the sand. giving rise to the story that his car could not take it. Every time a tire blew up the rims were buried in the sand and had to be dug out. He put five tires out of business on the trip and every time was up again and gone again.
 One of the most sensational incl dents of the race was in connection with the Abbott-DetrOit, the only car not reported at the time of this writ ing, Monday night The facts are learned from other drivers. Some where this side of Beaumont, Driver Speigel lost his mechanician and was going so fast he never missed him until he had gone a mile. He returned, found the man unconscious, took him back toBeaumont and put him in a hospital, picked up a railroad mechan- ic to accompany him, and re-entered the race.
 Next in point of sensation as rac- ing feature was the little Ford forty driven by Roger Stearns, a real sport if there ever was one. It was regarded as a joke when the little road louse" entered the race. but it proved to be a stayer from away hack, even if it didn't finish strong on speed. Besides It's smallness, 1t en- countered much hard luck Twenty four miles this side of Dos Palms,
