any Of the other 105 drivers who
handled cars In American road races
this year. An idea Of the consisten.
cy Of Mulford's performance is had
when It ts remembered. that in. every
one Of his races he did better than
sixty miles an hour and his grand
average for the 1882 miles covered
by him in the Elgin, Vanderbilt,
Fairmount and grand prix races is
62.49 miles per hour for all four of
these contests.
The road racing campaign Of 1910,
which cane to an end on Thanksgiv-
ing day, was not quite as extensive
as the one Of 1909, although it can
be considered more successful in that
on the average more cars finished and
better speed was made. Also It was
greater success from the box Office
point Of view, from the fact that mon
ey was made out Of every. race, with
but one or two exceptions. In 1908
there were twenty-seven road races
run, while in 1910 there were six
fewer. Only seven of the 1909 fix.

Christie's Double Drive Car
Will Feature Winter Meet
New York, Feb. THE drift Of

New York, Feb. THE drift Of
automobile: racing for construction
has been so far removed from the
freak type during the last few years
that anything in this class comes as.
q big surprise: However, q freak"
built: by Walter Christie may be ex-
pected at regular intervals. What
would automobile racing be without
humorous side?
This latest effort of Christie's is a
double-barreled, double-action, dou-
ble-jointed mechanical wonder. The
latest freak" is both front and rear
drive. There are two motors; one
turns the front wheels, the other the
rear. 1t is impossible to state at this
time what will happen when the
power 10 turned on full. Maybe Chris
tie knows. 1t Is hoped he does.
It will be remembered that Christie
tried to race a front drive car two
years ago. 1t was anything but
dizzy success. Christie himself drove
the "puller"" with Indifferent results
during the summer of 1909. George
H. Robertson drove it for Christie at
Daytona. Once the car went a mile
without the engine coughing. The
front drive was not rated as world
beaten.
Now comes the front and rear drive.
1t is hoped that this freak" will
have more satisfactory career than
it's half-brother. The front motor will
have four cylinders. Christie says
that the idea is absolutely unique in
automobile racing. 1t is likely to re-
main SO.
1t is planned to have the car make
its debut at the race meet to be held
at the Atlantic.Pablo beach near
Jacksonville during March. The dou-
BILE ender may be billed as the attrac-
ton Of the meet. Last year 1t was the
Bitten Benz. piloted by Oldfield that
featured the Florida beach racing.
But as Barney has been suspended by
the American Automobile association
until the first Of next year, another
star will have to be discovered at
Florida.
Oddly enough. Christie will not
drive the double ender. Maybe he has
handled the car in practice. At any
rate. he has engaged Caleb G. Bragg,
the young Chicago driver. to care for
the double decker: two-family. hot and
cold water continuance. Bragg is
plucky. He showed that when he.

previous season. Livingstone was not
the only one" to pay the penalty for
his daring, for the mortuary list also
contains the names of several other
we'll known drivers. Tobin DeEIymel,
a lad Of great promise, net death
in q track race at San Antonio after
he had shown he was in line for
great honors in the driving world.
DeHymel had driven in tho Vanderbilt
and in the Paramount park races. In
the latter he had performed most con-
sistently, getting third place and
great things were expected Of him
in the future. Another to cross the
great divide was w. H. Sharp. manu-
facturer of the sharp-Arrow. who
died as result Of injuries sustain
ed in training for the grand prix at
Savannah. Ton; Kincade of the Ma
tional team, met death on the Indian
apolis speedway.

,outdrove Oldfeld at the Los Angeles
motordrome last April.
II Christie does not change his mind
the front and rear racer will surprise
Florida in March. There are ways II
might surprise. For instance, the
wheels could turn in different direc-
tons, the rear pulling against tho
front. Would the car part In the
middle?
Yes, the latest Christie product 10
likely to be attractive.
However, there will be other cars
at Florida. Entries that have already
been made consist of three Case cars,
forming the team of the j. I. Case
Threshing Machine. company. which
recently absorbed the Pierce-Racine
Automobile company ut Racine, Wis;
three National cars entered by the
National Motor Vehicle company Of
Indianapolis, Ind; two Bucks enter
ed by the Buick Motor company, one
Marquette-Buick entered by the Mar
quette Motor company. and two Pope
Hartfords entered by the Pope Manu-
featuring company of Hartford, Conn.
Entries probably will be made BY
the Simplex, Automobile company,
which recently engaged Ralph Do
Palma as it's star pilot; the Fiat Auto
mobile company, which will probably
nominate Joe Matson, and an Ameri-
can racer to be formally nominated
by the indianapolis factory. and a
team of three Hudson cars to be
nominated Nby the Detroit factory,
following its announcement Of RAG
ing campaign for the coming season.

ANTI.SkID DEVICES.

There is particular activity shown
this year in the matter of anti-skid
devices for chains. The majority OF
these are based on the principle Of
permitting circumferential creep;
that is, the chain which encircles the
tire is not anchored rigidly to the rim
of the wheel. the felloe- or the spokes.
but the chain is free to creep slightly
on the tire. This has the advantage
of constantly changing the position
on the cross chains on the tire and
SO preserving the tire. Another .ad.
vantage of the circumferential creep
10 that when starting the tire can
start faster than the chain. Owing
to the friction of the chains on the
ground. were 1t to start rotating -
rapidly as the tire there would be d.
astrous results at times: -

Minor Leagues To
 Get Higher Rating Will Probably Make Organiza- tions Eastern, American and Pacific Coast Class
 A. A. N

The Eastern League, the Pacific Coast League and the American As- sociation will be granted higher classified ton in organized, baseball if the National Association pays any att tenticn to the wishes of the National Commission. The supreme court of baseball has petitioned the governing body of the minor leagues to grant the three largest circuits which it controls a number of advantages. The matter now rests with the Ma tional Ass6ciation,y which holds it's annual meeting in San Antonio, Tex, this week..
 To favor, the long-agitated reforms for which the Eastern League and American Association have argued, it will be necessary to amend the na- tionai agreement, which binds all the big family of organized baseball. The National Commission would be pow erless iE the matter should the Ma tional Association refuse to act on its suggestions. But the association usually follows where the commits sion leads.
 The contemplated changes will raise these three minor leagues to class A, increase the draft price from their ranks. restrict the present minor leagues during probationary periods, limit the major league roster and make salary debts to players a lien on baseball franchise. The aas- sociatfon is asked to appoint a com mittee to confer with the National Commission on these contemplated changes prior to the annual meetings of the major leagues in New York beginning December II.
