There is no question that Old Rosebud
can stand any yourgster shown this
year right on its head. The manner In
which he ran away from the fireat field
Saturday showed his class and ability.
While every horseman pronounces Old
Rosebud to be the daddy of them all,
George (whitey) Langdon goes further,
and declares that Old Rosebud Is the
best two-year-old he ever saw squirt
through bride.

Old Members Maintain New
Organization Would Help
Them, Where w. A. A. Fails.

the Washington A. A. was started some
time last fall, is due for Reorganization
under its old name. with practically the

move.
Continued dissatisfaction expressed at
the treatment accorded the members Of
the Washington A. A., which started
off with such q rush last fall, and the
failure to live up to the inducements
offered to join the new organization. Is
given as the reason for the contem-
plated move.
Many of the former members of the
old Washington c. c. c., which flourish
ed under Jack Stowells leadership and
won cross-country runs and other
events, have expressed their willing
ness to withdraw from the Washington
a. A, which, they claim, is name
only, and will continue as the Washing
ton c. c. {.
II is pointed out that the Washing
ton A. A has done nothing for the ath-
letes, that many promises were given
that good treatment would be accorded
the members of the Washington A. A
should they amalgamate. Since the in
ception Of the Washington a. A the
members claim that there have been
meetings only when meets were TO be
held and that no advantages OF any sGrt
are forthcoming along any line for
them.
Former members of the Washington
A. A. have come to Jack Stowen and
maintained that they will be ager and
ready TO take out a new charter under
the Washington c. c. c., and enter In
competition as they did In other years

transcontinental journey nothing
stopped the cars. and every machine.
except that Of A. l. Westgard, who is
travelling In the interest OF the Ma
tional Highway Association, checked
in at the last control last night.
Such a record is held remarkable by
every man on the tour. considering
the varied condition of the roads the
marty Travelled. The Brown, truck,
which was left in the Rocky noun
tains on account Of Tn accident Joined
the party yesterday after making
short cuts across several States. The
speedometer on the truck showed
mileage of 2,900 miles. while the tour
