CAPITAL MOTORISTS
PLAN RUN TO SEE
GL|DDEN TOURISTS
Sociability Trip Will Be to
Winchester, Va, and
Return.
By HARRY WARD.

Plans are under way for a socia bill
ty automobile run to winchester, Va,
on October 16. This is the day scheduled
for the Glidden tour to pass through
that historic town, on the way from
Gettysburg to Staunton and the object
of the trip is to get a glimpse OF the
big caravan that will tour from New
York to Jacksonville. Every dealer
here. whose car is represented in the
tour Is endeavortng to get his custom
ers to join the sociabiIity run and 1t Is
likely hundred or more cars will make
the trip. d.
1t is expected Winchester will be made
a noon control of the Glidden tour, CIV
ing the tourists an opportunity to take
on oil, gasolene and water and also to
refresh themselves. If, the noon stop is
made in that city, Washington motor
lists will be on hand to extend the best
wishes of the National Capitals motor
ing fraternity for the success OF the
tour.
The eyes of the whole Southland are
following with interest the work of the
Flanders go pathfinding car which Is
now mapping out the route Of the Gid
den tour. The car left New York last
week and now is some place in North
Carolina. The farther the car advances
the greater interest Is aroused in what
undoubtedly will be the biggest single
movement ever undertaken in the cause
of good roads.
ITO win the Hamilton county trophy
in the l5O-mile race at Cincinnati, and
to run second to the 90-horsepower for
eign car of Eddie Hearn, in the 2O0-mile
race, is the latest victory of the Cole,
said r. c. Wilson, of the Wilson Com
pany, Cole agents here. jenkins vic
tory is considered an important one for
the course was in poor shape and his
competitors were out to trim him II posi-
sible."
c. A. Davis, southeastern sales man
ager of the Conner truck, is spending
few days in Washington as the guest OF
John Larcombe, IT., the Conner agent
here Mr.. Davis was delighted to hear
that Mr.. Larcombe was having great
success with the Conner truck. A series
OF demonstrations with the truck now
is being made by Mr.. Larcombe, and
many sales are expected.
Rignald W. Beall, vice president OF
Moore q Hill, has purchased an Over

Moore and Murphy Are
In Unsatisfactory Draw

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 13.-The twelve
round battle here last night at the Ar
mory A. A, between Tommy Murphy,
Of New York. and Pal Moore, of Pkila-
referee declared, 1t a draw. Murphy,
however, had some advantage. 1t may
not have been particularly decided, but
what margin there was it was in Muir
phys favor. Tommy forced the fighting
poor defense. Murphy scored four
blows to one, although he did not de-
liver one heavy punch. Moore landed
some very telling blows, and in several
heart disease rallies made Murphy
break ground each time. The last three
rounds were fought on the hurricane
order.

Swimming Contest Will
Close Outdoor Season

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-The national
cne-mile swimming championship,
scheduled to take place at Rye on Sat
urday, will practically close the years
outdoor season. l. promises to be an
other such contest as has been wit
messed Throughout the summer in all
important events; close, hard fought.
with a blanket finish. 1t Is unlikely
that more than four entries will be re-
ceived. Bud Goodwin, Nicholas Nerich.
James Reilly, Of the New York A. c.,
and r. NJ. Ritter, of the City A. c.,
have proved so conclusively their supe-
riority over all others that they will
probably be left to fight it out among
themselves This Notwithstanding the
keenest kind of interest is being taken
in the race, for the four men are so
well matched that there is no foreman
ing the winner, and everything points
to new record.
The season has been the most remark
able one in history. Half dozen men
have battled for supremacy, with odds
in favor of one and then the other, and
even now none has clear claim to the
all-round title, for none has gone
through without a defeat.
The absence of c. NJ. Daniels, whose
retirement last spring was so keenly
regretted, was in no way felt. A cham
pion is soon forgotten when his records
begin to fall, and only an unfortunate
mistake on the part of the officers pre-
vented the complete wiping out of Dan
iels' open-water marks Ritter lowered
his quarter-mile figures from minutes
81 1-5 seconds to minutes 81 3-5 seconds;
Reilly brought down his one-mile stand
ard from 26 minutes 19 3-5 seconds to Is
minutes Il is seconds, and Nerich would
unquestionably have bettered his half
mile time of Il minutes Is 2-5 seconds
had not the course been short in the
race for the metropolitan championship
at Travers Island.

lts ziozas Course From the Nsrth psis
10 che South pols
There are some curious features
in what Is generally knoWn as "tho
date line"
II Is easy to see thai At every
point cast Of that where Il Il Just
midnight Of Saturday Il is Sunday.
Since Il Is necessary that each day
shall be supposed 70 begin some
where men have agreed that Il
shall be on a line onc-half way
round the globe from London
that Is, $50 degrees east or west
from Greenwich
But convenience requires that tho
line shall not be straight. The me
ridian Of $50 degrees passes through
the eastern peninsula Of Siberia.
Russia treats the whole Of her pos
sessions as being comprised within
the same day. Before the United
States purchased Alaska the Asian
day was extended even to tho
American continent. Il was a DAY
later at Sitka than at places duo
north from that place.
When Alaska came under the
American flag the day was changed
and the date line was shifted to the
west Of the Aleutian archipelago.
These are not the only variations
from the one hundred and eightioth
meridian, but within these limits It
is not possible to notice them at all.
It Is, however, interesting to trace
the date line from north to south.
Starting at the north pole, Il fol-
lows the meridian adopted until II
the Siberian coast.
There It bends to the east and
passes through Boring strait,
thence in a southwesterly direction
30 as to take in all the Aloutian
Islands. Next II curves back to the
'ne hundred and eightioth meridian
md follows it to the equator.
Again II bends eastward through
he midst Of numerous groups Of
stands, leaving tho Samoan group
m the east and the Tongas on tho
rest. Il sweeps almost to the one
hundred and sixty-ffth meridian,
hen curves back gradually to the
ne hundred and eighticth meridl-
n and follows II to the south pole
As we all know, when q vessel
rosses the Pacific from east to
'est it drops one day from the cal
ndar upon passing the date line.
q going from west to east It re-
cats one day.---Exohange.
