FOREIGN MAKERS
Of RACING CAR TO
DEFEND TROPHY
Won Signal Victory In The
Savannah Contest Last
Year.
BY HARRY WARD.

The makers Of the foreign car that
won the grand prize race at Savannah
last year have decided to defend the
trophy this year with the same car.
This decision has caused widespread
interest, for the reason that automobila
engineers have steadfastly held to the
theory that no automobile can be built
70 Withstand repeatedly the terrific alb
normal strain Of long-distance races at
lightning speed.
They maintain that the crystalliza-
ton Of the steel would be SO great as to
make lit practically impossible for q
car to stand up any length of time as
far as efficient service Is concerned. It
ls mainly for this reason that nearly all
racing cars are newly built each season
The car was driven last year by
David Bruce-Brown. the young million
a1re sportsman, who won a glorious
victory in the grand prize event, cover

and defeating a field Of seventeen COM
petttors, the cream of the worlds pre-
mler drivers and racing cars. Victor
Hemery, the great French driver, will
newal of the race.
7. Lamar Jackson. agent for the STE
vens-Duryea, has returned from a
weeks tour through Maryland and
Pennsylvania. He visited Hagerstown,
Winchester, Cumberland, ford
Springs, Gettysburg Harrisburg, and
Philadelphia, and found the roads in
good shape.
Charles Basle, who has many auto
mobile races to his credit, will make his
debut a driver of a Cole car in the
FairmOunt Park road race next month.
At the same time that Basle closed
contract with the Henderson Motor
Sales Company. sales agents for the
Cole, it was announced Harry knight,
who took an important part in the 500
mile race at Indianapolis, had been
brought back into the Cole family. 1t
is understood he will drive in the
Vanderbilt and grand prize races at
Savannah in November.
Speed maniacs and "open muf1er
fiends" have come to the end of the
road, as far as the Federation Of
American Motorcyclists is concerned,
This national organization, governing
motorcycle racing, and protecting the
interests OF all motorcyclists, realizes
that those who ride at reckless speeds
and persist in the open muffier''
nuisance, give motorcycles and motor
cycle drivers an unenviable name, and
the F. A. N. proposes to put stop TO
ii wherever possible. A campaign Of
education against the two evils will be
planned by the organization.

OFFENSIVE SHOWING
Big Bill" Edwards Appears
And Gives Linemen Some
Useful Pointers.

PRINCETON, N. j., Sept. 2S.-The
Princeton coaches paid particular at
tention to the offensive work of their
charges yesterday afternoon and prac-
ticalIy the entire scrimmage was given
over to development of the varsity In
this department. The Tigers showed
plainly a need of instruction on the Of
tense, as their attack was weak, espe-
cially when near the scrubs goal line.
After the usual preliminary work. in
which the punters were given long
drill and the ends were given practice
in running down under the formers
attempts, the varsity lined up against
the scrubs In midfeld. Three touch
downs were made BY the varsity. but
in each case the ball was carried over
the line after an unlimited number OF
downs, the coaches allowing the var
sity to keep the ball irrespective OF
the number of downs made. Tol
Pendleton again played at quarter
with Penfeld at fullback and Baker
and Sawyer at the halves.
Baker was then placed on the SCRUB
eleven and the latter were given the
ball in midfield. BY several good gains,
including one twenty-nVe-yaru-run Dy
Baker, they advanced the pigskin to
the yarsity's flfteen-yard-line. The var
sity line held at this juncture and on
the third down Baker made field goal
for the scrubs. big Bill Edwards,
commissioner of street cleaning in New
York. who was captain of the 1899
eleven, was on the field and spent con-
siderable time giving the linemen
few pointers.
The varsity's lineup was: Dunlap,
right end; Phillips, right tackle; Nc
Lean, right guard; Bluethenthal, CEN
ter: Winants 1Swann)?, left guard; Nor
man, left tackle; Wight, left end; PEN
dleton, quarterback; Baker CHughes),

The board of faculty athletic directors
Is still hopeful Of obtaining National
Park for the high school football games
this fall. Some time ago it was an
nounced that there was little chance of
sny football being played there, but
since then the representatives of the
beard have got busy and they still be-
neve there is a chance of the champion
ship series being decided on the grounds
on which the Nationals are now playing.
Originally II was intended to draw
UP a gridiron the same as last year,
when the diamond was included, but
3 now a different plan has been suggested
and II is being arranged to have
gridiron in the outfield. If this can be
done it will in no way interfere with
the baseball players and at the same
time will relieve a rather embarras ssing
situation in which the board of faculty
advisers finds itself.
Three elevans ran through the hard

now she is busily engaged in turn
ing out the worlds greatest liner,
which is to ply between Hamburg and
New York with accommodations for
no less than 5000 passengers. For
the past twelve months work has
been steadily proceeding at the Vul-

this new mammoth liner for the Ham

lipse all previous records of ocean
greyhounds for size and splendor.
The new boat, which will be named
the Imperator, is to be bigger than
any craft yet afloat. In her present
condition on the slips at Stettin she
presents wonderful spectacle, ap.
pearing something like the skeleton of
an eleven-storied swyscraper in course
of construction. She stands a hum

in beam, has length of 710 feet and
her displacement will be $4,000 tons

Herr Moritz Leahmann has design
ed what he calls an open-air and
light theatre, the like of which has so
far not existed, for the production of
great military play to celebrate the
battle of Leipsig at its Tooth anniver-
sary in 1913. The auditorium and
stage will represent country land
scape near Leipsig. The theatre will
cover an area of over 10000 square
yards of which 1000 yards will be
devoted to the accommodation of the
audience. A part of the grounds will
be laid out to represent a large mead
ow land dotted with farms and coun-
try houses, and the balconies, ver-
andas, windows and roofs of the vari-
GUS buildings will serve as reserved
fauteuils from which occupants will
obtain miving view of the military
spectacle.
