AUTO OWNERS
in KEEN RIVALRY

The keen rivalry between owners
driving their own cars and mechanics
driving for factories by which they
are employed has been one of the in
teresting and amusing features Of this
years Glidden tour Most Of tho
cars were driven by their owners. and
many Of these were wealthy Southerns
who entered the contest partly from
an interest in good roads. and partly
for the enjoyment OF fall outing.
To them the contest has been a
holiday excursion with zest added by
the element of competition. But to
those teams which were manned by
factory mechanics, II has been a mat
ter OF grim business, calling for ell
the skill and care possible. The re-
suit has been, that while overspeeding
and heedlessness of consequences has
landed some of the amateurs in tie
ditch, and pounded their cars incess-
antly, the professionals have got tho
most out OF their machines over
every foot OF road. and saved them in
every way they could.
The Atlanta Chamber OF Commerce
team Of three Stevens-Duryeas-
driven by a vice-president of the
chamber, another by a former Georgia
senator. and the third by a prominent
motor car enthusiast-vied with tho
professionals from the start. The
only trouble II had was the ditching
OF one Of the cars, due to careless
speeding on crooked, slippery high
way where the driver tried to nego-
tiate too sharp corner in order 20
pass some loiterers ahead. This mis-
hap. early in the run. was lesson
and the sufferer took no more chances

Bouts

Company C, o. NJ D.. gave a live
smoker in the Armory last night. I'M
perial A c. boxers did most Of the
entertaining and made a success of
the evening. Following the ring events

the best amateur sporting events ever
pulled off here.
The program opened with a boxing
bout between Johnny Mack" the
Forty-acre boy, and manager of the
Imperial football team, and John Hor-
icle. who is entered in the white
hope" tournament at Philadelphia
The bout brought many rounds of ap-
plause from the audience. Mack took
on Shelly" Fairchilds who also put
up a great bout and who looks like
a future hope. The next bout of the
evening was between Young Goodman
and Kid Foster and was fast and ex-
citing. These boys showed that they
can take and give in the punch line.
Steve Smith and Young Baldy set the
soldier boys going by putting up a
very clever bout. Billy Baldwin and
Young Francis were the next bout on
the card and the boys put up a very
clever exhibition. All Of the boxers
are members of the Imperial Athletic
Club, and are managed by Furman
G.. Cole, who showed the audience that
he is a good third man In the squared
circle
After the boxing the athletes and
soldier boys were led to the dining
hall where Caterer Zimmerman serv-
ed a luncheon. After luncheon Will
liam Raymond. Wilmlngton's sweetest
tenor, sang several solos. The Imper-
ial Club extended their heartiest
thanks to Cautain Ellison for the way
In which they had been entertained.

The members Of the Mackay organization
say they are moro progressive. and ac-
cording 10 one of them who officiated here
to-day have outgrown the ideas OF the

mons OF their cause. Among a. group Of

Albany Jan. 4.-Republican legislators
from Manhattan and Brooklyn have been
receiving IN the last two days many letters
from Republican constituents urging them
10 vote for Edwerd II. Shepard for United
States Senator. The burden Of the srgu-
nnent IN most OF these letters Is that II
would be impossible for the Republicans 70

well give their votes TO the election or a
high class Democrat Some OF these letters
specifically say that II would be better ser

that some few OF the Republicans may do
