new TROPHY FOR
BIG ELCIN RACES
Schroeder Refuses to Rein
quish Prize-$5,000
Forfeit Claimed.

A new trophy will in all probability
be given to the victor in the free-for-
all race at Elgin, Aug. so. The Elgin
national trophy, which was captured
by Ralph De Palma in a Mercedes,
owned by c. E. Schroeder, last year,
has not been returned to the Chicago
Automobile club and as a result the
bond of $4,000 will be declared for
feited today
When the trophy was won by De
Palma last year Schroeder put up a
bond of $4,000 to guarantee the local
motorists that it would be returned
to be contested for this year. The
members of the trophy committee of
the Chicago Automobile club have
written five letters to Schroeder in
New York without receiving a reply.
AS the deed of gift calls for the return
of the valuable cup by Aug. 1, or
forfeiture of the bond, it is expected
that the officials will make a claim
for the $4,000 today.
1t was expected that Schroeder,
who is a race fan and known as a
hacker of race drivers, would enter
Ralph Milford in the free for-all event
this year and would return the trophy
so that Smiling" Ralph could pull it
down.

FIGHT MANAGERS
IN W0RDY BATTLE

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. Tommy
Burns, manager of Arthur Pelky, and
Tom Jones, who looks after the in
terests of Jess Willard, are booked to
hook up in an interesting battle of
invectives and near blows with a
day or two.
Joe wants to match Willard against
Pelky, but Burns in a telegram yes
terday says that Willard must go get
a reputation before presuming to chal-
lenge a champion.
"Gunboat Smith is the man Pelky
wants to meet" said Burns. Smith
beat Willard, and then, again, Char
ley Miller shaded the Kansas scrapper.
Let him get rep for himself"
This sort of language is the sort
that makes Jones glad he is alive, for
he thrives on argument.
when did Pelky whip Willard, or
anybody of consequence, until he
landed lucky punch on Luther Nc
Carty?" asks Jones. willard can
whip Pelky, and Burns can name his
own terms. Pelky took one beating
from Willard and wants no more"
As Willard holds a decision over
Pelky, it is probable that Jones will
work that argument and a side bet
i proposition overtime until Burns
agrees to a match between the rival
white hopes.
Jones and AID Wolgast left last night
for San Francisco to talk business
with Tommy Burns and Willie Richie.
