$500 MILES IN
9 RUNNING DAYS

New York, Sept. 7.--Blazing new
automobile trail from New Orleans to
New York. Joseph Wenar. q fruit
grower OF Porto Rico, who is In this
country to boom Porto Rico and its
products, arrived here this week In his
automobile after "a most interesting
and picturesque trip. He covered a
distance Of more than 1900 miles In
nine running days Of twelve hours
each, over the most impossible roads,
and came through with practically a
perfect score. He did not touch any
of the mechanical parts Of the auto
mobile nor even tighten nut or a
screw, and had only one puncture,
driven S91 miles.
TT was great trip, full OF Difficult
ties and at times disappointing. but !

Mr.. Wenar at the Hotel Aston on his
arrival Below Atlanta no Official
route IL known. SO was practically
pathfinder in that country. I knew
that there is always road between

| took small maps of Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and Alabama and drew across
them In straight line from New Or

!, as closely as possible. and felt my
way along by inQuiring OF farmer Bill
and others as I travelled. OF course,
| this step brought me into parts un-
known, where automobiles were prac-
tically never seen, and hence gave me
considerable excitement and amuse-
ment
II left New Orleans on July 80 and

type. From Covington pushed on to

pleasant stretch Of road through pine
trees. I encountered practically the
same conditions as hurried on to
Meridian, Miss. From there to Tus-
| callosa, Ala. via York and Livingston,
| the roads were simply lanes from
farm to farm. which ought not to be

WALSH MAY WIN
CHALMERS TROPHY
BIG PITCHER or THE WHITE sox
MAY WIN CAR WHICH HAS
BEEN OFFERED nv HUGH
CHALMERS, PRESIDENT or THE
CHALMERS MOTOR co.

Big Ed Walsh OF the Chicago white
sox Is the latest man to claim the
spot light In the discussion among
the fans as to who will receive the
Chalmers trophy this year. Last year
Mr.. Chalmers offered an automobile
to the leading batter. Every one re-
members the close race between Ty
Cobb and Larry LaJoie.
This year 1t has not been confined
to batters. but the award is to be
given to the player In the National
and the player in the American league.
who, in the opinion of the committee
Of eleven newspaper men has done the
best work for his team.
The great work OF Walsh last sun
day when he let down the Boston speed
boys without single hit has brought
TO the attention of the fans and
critics everywhere the wonderful rec
ord which the big fellow has been
making for himself with the white
sox.
While this Ii the first game In which
Walsh has not allowed a hit, he has
come very near to this record several
time before. In 1905, the year In
which he was so largely responsible
for the worlds championship won by
the sox, he pitched two games In which
only one hit was made Off him---one
Of them against Cleveland and the
other Boston.
Among the other American league
players who have been most favorably
mentioned for the Chalmers trophy
are Ty Cobb of the tigers, Eddie Col
Inns, Bender and Coombs of the ath-
letics, and Speaker of the Boston red
sox; Jackson and Gregg Of Cleveland
and Ford OF Newport.
1t is almost certain that IL a pitch
er gets the vote Of the newspaper
committee for the Chalmers trophy
this year Walsh will be close con-
tender when the votes are counted. AL
any rate, his work on Sunday puts
him in a pitching hall of fame along
with the other American league play.
ers who have pitched no hit games
This list includes Cy Young, Jessie
TennehilI OF Boston. the late Addis
Joss OF Cleveland and Frank Smith
and Jimmie Callahan. both of the white
sox.

DATES NAMED FOR
DETROIT SHOW

Detroit. Mich, Sept. 1.-THE week Of
Jan. ~ has been selected as the date
for the annual show Of the Detroit
Automobile Dealers association.
Though no formal announcement has
been made, It is probable that the
show win again be held In the In
adequate Wayne gardens. This con-
dition last year led to secession OF
represen tatives of forty-five manu-
facturers, who held a separate. and
competing show at the factory OF the
Regal company. In all probability
those crowded out Of the garden will
take some similar action this year, as
their show. as well as the .. A. d.

What would you think of a man

How much more foolish Is the man
who purchases an auto and allows 1t
to be exposed to danger Of fire, and
pays therefor from $1,000 to $4,000
without insurance? DO you not be-

WHO WILL GUIDE TAfT's FIGHT?
Penrose or HilIes May Be Dominant
Spirit Of Next Campaign.

Washington, July 24.-From the
discussion Of national politics going
on here, it is probable that either
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania or
Charles D. Hilles, secretary to the
president, will be the chairman of
the Republican national committee
to conduct the next presidential
campaign. The chances at present
seem to favor Hilles. but many
friends of President Taft urge that
Senator Penrose should be selected.
The latter take the view that the
situation requires the services of an
experienced campaigner and they
point to the management of the Re-
publican organization of Pennsyl-
vania since the death of Quay a:
evidence of Penrose's ability to run
a national campaign.
