Chicago, Oct 21.-Following the
report Wednesday of c. F. Van Sick
len and ]. P. Dods Of their scouting
| trip over the proposed line of travel,
the route for the 1,00O-mile relia-
bility to be staged by the Chicago
Motor club Nov. z to IL was mapped
out in detail. Severai switches were
made from the original schedule,
LOOP miles constituting the length
of the tour and Rock Island, PEORIA
Bloomington and Kankakee being
designated as the night stops. The
noon controls will be at Rockford,
Kewanee, Springfield, Champaign
and Ottawa.
Decatur, which was previously
picked by the officials as a night stop,
was cut off entirely from the controls
and Bloomington given the Iayover
instead. This was occasioned by a
swing of the route from the distil-
lery city and thence up to Blooming
ton, instead of to Bloomington first,
down to Springfield and Jackson
Vile and back to Decatur for the
night stand.
Champaign is Next stop.
Like wise by this plan Champaign
is made a night noon control and
Clinton is put on the map, as the
motorists jog directly down to De-
catur from Bloomington and back
again to Maroa before cutting across
to Champaign. This change was
made necessary by the strenuousity
of the previous proposed layout, as
the third days trip from Peoria
through Bloomington, Springfield,
and Jacksonville TO Decatur was
deemed a little too much for the
dirt roads to be encountered. This
had been the banner day for travel,
with nearly 225 miles on the book,
but now the distance is cut off and
hung largely on the last day Of the
run from Kankakee in.
The present route for the travel
ers lies through Elgin, Marengo,
Belvidere. Rockford. noon control;
Dixon, Lydon, Erie, Moline and Rock
Island for the night stop. a run of
1877 miles. On the second day the
contestants will head south through
Milan, Alpha. Henderson, Galesburg,
Kewanee, noon station; Sheffield.
Princeton, Henry. Chillicothe and
Peoria for the night stop. a distance
of 179 miles. The third day the field
will go directly south to Springfield
through Pekin, over to Jacksonville
and back to the capital city for the
noon rest. thence north through Lin
coin to Bloomington, 217 miles.
Last Day Hardest.
On the fourth day the route lies
through Clinton and Maroa, to Decat-
ur, back to Maroa and through Mon
ticello to Champaign, the eat sta
ton" north through Paxton to Kan
kakee, 1877 miles. The last day calls
for the longest run of all. winding
through the northern part of the
state from Kankakee to StTeator, OF
tawa. La Sale. Mendoza, Aurora and
Joliet to Chicago.
Although as yet rather early the
entries for the reliability are COM
ing in daily, the Moline. winner of
the Chicago trophy in the Glidden
tour. being the latest nomination,
President Vandervoort last night
filed application for three Molines,
WHICH Will sIlANS III Tic van olSh-
len trophy.
This gives the motor club eight
entries so far. the list including be-
sides the Molines. two Abbott-De-
troits, a Falcar, Halliday and Brush.

utive Root thinks, for in addition to
those in hand he is expecting en-

Tourist, Ford, Winton, Velie, I'M
