STANDING OF CARS.
Score for yesterday undecided.

change OF radiators yesterday morning
on his Stoddard-Dayton Immediately
after checking out. He found Tuesday
that his radiator was leaking. It took
him Just twenty-nine minutes to make
the change, the motor running all Of the
time. Frank Stewart and his REQ SUI
fered a penalization Of 81 points for being
late out Of the noon control and two for
securing the tonneau Of his car.
He lost the road In one place yester-
day and that was the main cause OF
his being late. Stanley Mortimer and
his Buick are making a record for COM
ing in first at controls. They arrived
in at both the noon and night controls
yesterday first and on previous days led
the procession.
Hold. to Their Time.
Machen and his Ford Wed with the
Regal yesterday, inasmuch as 1t was tho
only other car to come through the day
clean. Not satisfied with running on his
own schedule, four miles an hour slower
than the big cars, he makes it a point to
hold to their time. Three points for
motor stall is all that this. the smallest
car in the run. has against 1t.
Forty-eight points were put against the
Warren-Detroit for putting on tires In
the noon con.roI. This work can only
be done on the road with the motor
running. I. c. Barber. the driver. pur-
chased some tires in Hagerstown and
ordered them to be left at the starting
line. When he returned from dinner he
found the accommodating dealer had put
them on. His accommodation cost the
Warren forty-eight points. One point
was also marked up against the car for
putting gasoline on the brakes.
E. II. Clarke's Regal Is the most
watched car in the crowd, for II alone
remains in the perfect score class. Twen-
ty-three points for being late in check
ing out the noon control were all the
points marked up against the Cole yes
terday. Campbell in his car kept well
up with the crowd all day.
Ira Waterman in his K-r-i-t. though
he withdrew on the first day when
the magnetic went wrong, has been with
the crowd the other two days. He Is
in at every control within the time he
would be required to make If competing.
Races with n Train.
McBurney and his Matheson kept out
Of sight all day yesterday. This
stripped machine is attracting a great
deal of attention all through the coun-
try. Yesterday McBurney had a brush
with a train, and showed the engineer
| d
James Flynns Chalmers go was the
starters car yesterday. and though out
last, was in at the noon control ahead
OF some of the contestants. Frank Ohm
stead, of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company, whose Stoddard-Dayton was the
chief observers car, had no trouble in
keeping we'll up.
AS has been the case on the previous
days OF the run. Bert Robertson and his
NJ sad
brought Cunningham into the noon con-
troll Yesterday to get a new wheel after
his accident.
The car has its work cut out for IT
every day. but is running as well as when
1t started, and the hood has only been
raised to put in OIL This afternoon the
cars, instead of checking in at the Hotel
Grafton will check at Fifteenth and b
streets, there to be put through the
brake, motor, clutch. and gear test, at
the conclusion of which they will be
turned over to their owners.
