"Whiskbroom" came in third.
The race yesterday again proved con-
clusively what a sporting city Birming-
ham is. 1t turned out huge crowd to
witness race of amateurs and the crowd
would have been 10 times greater II
drivers of international reputation had
been in the race.
The race in detail follows:
Botta an Easy Winner
Botta was an easy winner, finishing
nine miles ahead of the second car, q
Buick, driven by II. F. Chafiin. His time
for the distance was l hour 5S minutes
and 16 seconds. Chafin covered the dis
tance in hours, minutes and 80 Sec
onds, while Barr, driving the Studebaker
'Whisk Broom finished third in hours
and 10 minutes.
Botta assumed the lead In the first
mile and held it during the greater part
of the first 40 miles. In the forty-second
mile the "Whisk Broom" which got a
bad start, caught and past Botta, hav-
ing worked up from last place. The
Studebaker held on to the lead until the
hfty-third mile. when, on being forced to
stop on account of engine trouble, Botta
again assumed the lead and from then
on the Lyons Special was never headed.
Inc HrSl oO miles was maze IN o4 min
utes.
In the twenty-ninth mile the Pope
Hartford car. driven by L. s. Crane. lost
rear tire and was forced out of the
race for long while.
The National driven by Willis Odell
was forced to quit the race in the twenty
second mile on account of engine trouble
The machine stopped on the near curve
and the frantic efforts of both Odell and
his mechaniclan to start the car again
were without avail.
The winning car caught fire in the
sixty-ninth mile, but the flame was ex-
tinguished easily and the car proceeded
without any trouble.
In the seventy-third mile the Pope
Hartford caught on fire and was so badly
damaged that it was withdrawn from
the race. The withdrawal of this car
left only three in the race.
During the latter part of the race the
Lyons Special took things easy, finishing
in a burst of speed.
