trir for the Second Commercial vehi-

Chicago American and the Chicago

Dodds. the official pilot, and Stanley
Duross, who drove the PATHFINDER,
this second reliability tour Is going 70

vehicles which will leave Chicago Aug,

encountered some deep sand and other
rough going on the trip, which Ia apt
10 make trouble for some OF the heas-
lily loaded trucks. II Is the opinion of
commercial vehicle experts that this
trip will be the greatest test OF motor
truck efficiency ever held.
Forty-four entrants have already
been received and II Is expected that
several more will come In before the
closing date. In the list of entrants

Plans are under way TO have dele

automobile clubs meet the tour at the

While In actual miles no. days run
In the tour appears very strenuous,
those who rode IN the Chalmers 80"
pathfinder predict that the trip will be
as strenuous for the trucks as the
1910 Glidden tour was for passenger
vehicles. The first days run Is from

Detroit fans held sessions all over
the evening hangouts OF the city last
night and passed resolutions which
viewed with alarm.
Two consecutive lickings at the
hands OF the Boston Red Sox, coupled
with the anticipated victory of the
Athletics over ST. Louis leaves the
clubs but a game apart
Should the Tigers lose again to-
day and should the Athletics still
maintain their unbeaten record OF
the season against the Browns-as is
perfectly reasonable TO expect-the
percentages would read:
Won So; lost 81, Der
cent, ga.
Detroit: Won s.; lost s5; per cent
Gas.
Surely this sad figure to contew-
plate.

nings performing as they ought. VIII

yesterday and was supported so rag
gedly that be really never had \
chance to win. The support rendered
LATTE In the second game was just
as bad and the Red Sox were hitting
just as well as they had before.
Scores OF 7 TO and to 2 are not
conducive OF hsrd-luck stories.
But II behooves the bugs 10 cheer
up nevertheless, for there are extern
uating circumstances The Tigers
have been Ave times this year In
spots where their pursuers were just
as close. Always promptly, except on
July 4, they have come through with
the goods and have forged ahead
again.
The law Of chance will get In its
work on the Athletics and Browns,
and the latter will take a game some
time. II may be that this highly
hoped-for event won't take place
till next year, but there 1 chance
that Il will be earlier than that. The
Browns have played well enough
against the Tigers to beat the Ath-
letics, on several occasions.
