De PALMA VICTOR
IN TWO BIG RACES
Takes National and Free.For-kll
at Elgin
MULF0RD FAINTS AT END
Mechanician Chandler SeIzes Wheel,
Averts Wreck 25 Miles From
Tape and Finishes Second
In Record Time.

Elgin, NJ, Sept. 2.-Smashing all
and more than realizing a long-cher-
ished ambition, Ralph De Palma, who
never before in his spectacular career
has won an automobile racing classic,
was twice crowned king of speed at
the closing events of the Elgin meet
before $4,000 speed enthusiasts.
At the wheel OF his powerful German
speed monster De Palma captured the
Elgin trophy and the free-for-all, but
only after sensational chase in which
he overcame two pace-makers, Ralph
milford, who had the early advantage
in the 254-mile contest, and Edwin
Bergdoll, who blaZed the oily trail in
the longer and richer event.
In winning the Elgin trophy De Pal
ma covered the 254 and a fraction
miles in 3:42:26, an average speed OF
68.4 miles an hour. The former rec
ord was 663S miles an hour made by
Zengel In a National in 1911. To over
take Bergdoll and the Benz and cross
the tape first in the free-fOr-all, the
Italian was forced to increase his
speed from 6S4 for thirty laps to 70
miles an hour for thirty-siX circuits
OF the oil-soaked course. The last q
miles of his victorious flight was Gov
cred at an S0-mile-an-hour clip.
milford Faints Near Finish.
Ralph milford, the winner Of the
Elgin trophy two years ago, finished
second to De Palma in the shorter
event, with Charles Merz in a Stutz
third. After placing in the Elgir
trophy race Mulfor6 tainted and his
mechanician, Billy Chandler, drove
the last three laps OF the free-fOrall
The Knox pilot was taken TO the hos
pital tent, where restOratiVes We're ad
ministered When Chandler moved
over into the drivers seat Eugene
Stecker, pitman, jumped into the
car without mask or goggles and start
ed to pump oil.
Chandler drove the Knox to third
place in the free-for-all. Second money
was taken by Erwin Bergdoll in the
Benz. Bergdoll set the pace for the
nfst 81 laps ana lOst through the
great burst of speed shown by De Pal
ma after he had won the Elgin trophy
Bergdolrs mechanician Heine Kra
mer, showed as great nerve as Null
ford's relief. He rode the last lap Of
the free-for-all in great pain, burning
his hands badly in taking off pune
tured tire. He, too, was removed &c
the hospital.
Clark and Aid Bruised.
The sinister sound Of the ambulance
gong was heard only once during the
four and quarter hours Of thrills
and that time the call was a false
alarm, George Clark. the driver OF
the No. Mercedes, running into the
ditch on Hornbeek's turn and with
his mechanician, Tony Melaun, suffer
ing minor bruises about the head
OF the Zen cars that started six fin
lshed. In addition to Clark's Mercedes
Hills Fiat was retired with broken
gear; Wishart withdrew the Mercer
when an OF! pipe broke, and Hughes
abandoned his mount when connect
ing rod was cut.

loaVa Yearly Meeting


of the Foreign Mission Board, says
the annual income of the Board the
past ten years has averaged about Sc,
500. Some years it has reached al
most $4,000; other years as low as
$1,000 This shows a wide variation
of receipts. While we may not ex-
pect the maxinamb OF $4,000 year by
year, the time is past when we should
be satisfied to fall as low as $1,000.
Henry d. Lane of Oskaloosa, treas
urer of the board, started the year
with a cash balance of S30S.07, re-
viewed from the several sources for
the missionary fund, S7,517.0S. Bills
payable, s3,5O0.OO. Resources over
liabilities, 1923, $4,000.
