Tuesdays and Saturdays. Los An geles at 8:30 a. m. the following days and arrive in New Orleans at 7:20 D. m. every Friday and Tuesday. The running time between Los Angeles and New Orleans will thus be cut to fifty-six hours and fifty minutes and between San Francisco and New Orleans to seventy hours and fifty minutes, or less than three days for the trip that now takes more than four.
 The luXurieS afforded the traveller and the speed attained are such thet an excess fare of S1O will be charged between the two terminals
 CONNECTION WITH STEAMSHIPS
 The time of the two trains has been gauged so that direct and quick connection will be made at both ends of the route with ocean steam ships. Travellers from San Francls lsco bound tor the East and North may take this train and be whirled to the Louisiana metropolis and there trans fer to fast trains or steamships of the Southern Pacific. On the Western trip the man who is hurrying to catch one of the vessels ot the Pacific Mail will have an additional day or busi- ness and still make his boat.
 The service when inaugura ted will be unique departure in railroad his tory. The trains will be different from any other in the United States the equipment of the latest and best and every care will be taken for the safety of passengers.
 "It' the biggest thing ever attempt ed by any railroad. said d Southern Pacific official. "Of course there are extra fare traius, but none like these and no railroad ever before made such d cut in the running time as we will make. And we will do it id d fashion that really will add to the safety of travel, as our trains will be especially safe-guarded and watched from one end of the line rO the other"

NEW SUNSET"
 TRAINS FAST
 AND HANDSOME
Southern Pacific-Sunset Route Will Cut Time Between New N- Orleans and San Francisco
 Thirty Hours

Modern travel, already luxurious, is to be made even more so by the Southern Pacific Sunset route. Plans for new train to run twice weekly between New Orleans and Los An geles and San Francisco call for a cut of thirty hours in the running time between the two points. The new schedule. with its attendant com forts, has been brought about by the heavy winter travel between the two points on the Sunset route, and to care for this, new equipment is now being built in the Pullman shops at Chicago.
 The trains will be all steel. The cars will be of'latest design and will contain every comfort nov in Use on the fastests and best equipped tra in~, and many new conveniences in ad dition..
 BUILT FOR HIGH SPEED
 The trains will consist of only six cars, and that the high speed that will be demanded to make the sche- duIe may be maintained with com parative ease. Each train will carry only d dynamo and baggage Car, a diner, three drawing room sleept rs and an observation smoking car. The sleeping and drawing room cars will be finished in mahogany and other beautiful hardwoods and furnished in luxurious fashion. The sleeping cars will each contain ten sections, two compartments and drawing room. They are being built with an especial regard to the comfort of women, in that the accommodations for them will be most commodious. A ladies' maid, manicure and hairdresser will aid in Caring for the needs of the women.
 The men also will be well taken care of there being a barber, shower bath, arrangements tor pressing clothing and a stenographer aboard.
 The berths are to be electric light ed both upper and lower, and electric fans will cool the air of the car.
 The dust and dirt of transcontiuen- tai travel will be eliminated as much as possible by the installation of vacu- um cleaners that will do away with the offensive brushing up of dirt in the cals. At all terminals the trains will be given telephone connections and travellers will be ena bled to talk with friends in the city without icav- ing the cars.
 PREVIOUS RECORDS TO BE BROKEN
 Service on the Sunset Linited'' will begin Dec. 4 from New Orleans and the following day from San r, ancisco. The trains will leave Thursday of each week and arrive

Motor Speedway, Indianapolis. Ind. May 31-One life was sacrificed and several men were injured yesterday in the first 500-n1ile motor race on a speedway. The great test of skill and endurance was won by Ray Har- roun, driving a Marmon car, in 6:41:OS. Closely pressing Harroun were Ralph Mulford, with a LoZier, who finished second, and Davir Bruce-Brown who drove Fiat in third place.
 Many thousand spectators saw the forty pilots start the race at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
 In the most serious accident of the day, s. P. Dickson of Chicago, me- chanician for Arthur Grenier. driving an Amplex, was killed in an upset on the bank stretch. The Amplex was of one of the front wheels flew off, and Grenier and Dickson were hurled from their seats. Dickson was in stantly killed. Greiner was knocked unconscious. but his only injury was a fractured arm.
 At the end of the first 100 miles, Bruce Brown led. Mulford was second and Tetzlag was third but at 190 miles. Harroun took the lead, and held it to the end. Bruce-Brown and Null ford often see-sawed for second place and not even the judges were certain until the last lap who would take it finally
 A delay of more than tire changing time by Harroun would have meant certain loss of the contest by him to either Bruce-Brown or Mulford
 Toward the end of the race, the three leaders were little more than men to finish the race, with their win ninCS follow.

IN FACTORY LEAGUE

The Yosts, as last season. are lead ing the way in the Factory league. Not only does the team stand first in the standing column but are also the premier outfit in both hitting and fielding. Against this combination, coupled with the best pitching staff in the organization. the other clubs do Harvey Hubbell outfit appear to be their most formidable foes. This team is both high in batting and fielding and has a great little pitcher in Gal lagher who will give trouble to any team he faces With Gallagher work ing the Hu5bells anticipate forging ahead of the Yosts.
 The A. T. & s. team has not finish ed a game so far this season. Their opponents have been so far ahead when the middle of the contest was reached that the umps have called a halt to their battles. So far they have been a dismal failure. The Bullards are up there in hitting. but would never earn any medals for their fielding.e eThe Batchellers come in fourth in fielding The Auto Machine Co.,, can do better than fourth place in batting, but hold their right position in fielding.
 Tommy Smallwood of the Yosts is playing wonderful hitting game, leading the league with an average of .750. Of course this figure will de- crease when the season is further ad- vanced. but Tommy will be found up there when the curtain rings down. Jimmy Lynch of the Hubbells grabs second honors with an average of 462
