who has been knocking at the doors OF
the automobile hall of fame since 1909
finally burst open the portals when he
won the race for the Elgin national
trophy over the Elgin road race course,
travelling the 3O5 miles in Stutz car
in 4:13:3S 57-100. He averaged 71.5
miles an hour.
Ralph Milford took second place in
a Mason, and Spencer Wishart in his
Mercer took third.
Erwin Bergdoll, with third place
within his grasp, failed to watch his
gasoline supply and was put out Of
the race in the thirty second lap,
when he ran out of fuel on the back
stretch
Harry Grant, in an Isotta, the only
foreign built car in the race, finished
in fourth place, and Ralph De Palma
was fifth. These places Melted them
nothing but honor.
Bill Endicott and Dawson were still
on the track when the race was de-
clared finished
Anderson Popular Victor.
Andersons victory was popular, al
though he was not favorite at the
start. AS soon as he leaped into the
lead the crowd began pulling for him
to win.
His driving was the most consistent
of the day, but Milford and Harry
Grant rode him a close race. Grant,
although he did not finish in the
money, got every bit of speed his car
possessed, and did not make a stop
until he finished his thirtieth lap. He
was always hanging on, ready to grab
place if any of the leaders fell down.
Anderson was the only driver in the
race who has finished in every race he
has started. In nearly every event in
which he has participated he has been
in the money. Bad luck kept him
from winning other events, but in this
race his troubles were almost none
and his victory was the only logical
outcome of the combination of good
| fortune and heady driving.
Wishart Starts Things.
Spencer Wishart started out to be
the hero. He showed it was to be a
record breaking contest by Keeling off
| the first lap in six minutes and 81 Sec
onds, the fastest ever made over the
course When he came right back on
the second lap in six minutes and SO
! seconds, almost seventy-siX miles an
| hour, the crowd in the grand stand
stood up and yelled madly for more
! speed. Wishart had done his best al
! though he kent coming in the third in
6:42, but on The fourth he took more
than nine minutes.
! In the meantime Anderson, who had
made the first lap in the comparative
ly conservative time of 1907, had
| found himself His second lap was
done in 81 81, his third in $50, his
fourth in 6:49. and from then on he
reeled off lap after lap with but few
seconds variation each time.
On the fourth lap Anderson took the
lead when Wishart was laid up by tire
trouble, and he never again was head
ed. At the end of the fourth lap An
derson's time was 81 and Wishart's
1921.
Improvement Is Shown,
How the class of the Elgin races has
improved is shown by a comparison
of the average speeds for the four
years of the Elgin National. In 1910
Ralph Milford in a Lozier went the
distance at an average speed of 62.5
miles an hour. In 1911 Len Zengel in
a National boosted the average to
66.45 miles an hour, and last wear in

With wild whoops of cowboys and In

ing of hoofs, and the barking of re-
voIvers, "The Round-Up'' was ushered in
at the Academy last night for a weeks
stay.
The play is one of the largest produc-
tions on the stage, and the vast amount
of properties and great number of people
in the cast require skillful management,
and the manner in which it was handled
certainly was admirable.
The settings are wonderful. represent

None of Shakespeare's comedies

Marlowe engagement opened at the Be-
lasco Theater last night. WAS, ever

woman in this humor won?' is fitting

deponent sayeth not-that a proper dis
play of frmness and command brings
some women into subsection, ana 1t has
been whispered in confidential corn
munications between men that such
methods are not altogether displeas-
ing to the gentler sex, but the Petru-

to be '-thG limit" in the way of re-
ducing an ubstreperous fair one to sub

II was a typical Sothern-Marlowe audi
ence last night: that is, one filling the
house from floor to gallery, thoroughly
entering into the spirit of the play and
evidencing continuous delight by
heartiest applause. Miss Marlowe is as
winsome as ever. Time has not robbed
her of the witchery which always has
been one of the distinguishing traits
of her personality. There is an init
macy between her and her audiences
due not only to long acquaintance. but
to the womanliness which finds ex-
preston even in such a part as that of
Katherine. It is never lost, even in the
outbursts of passion and bad temper,
and in the softer moods 1t shines with
added brightness. And to see Julia
Marlowe smile is alone worth the price
Of admission,
Mr.. Sothern is always artistic in
whatever role he assumes. His Petru-
chic lacks none of this quality. The
assumption of a demeanor approaching
brutality is compensated every now
and then by little touches showing the
mans real affection for the girl he has
welded and intends to cure OF her
shrewishness. His acting in the final
scene, after Katherine has delivered
her admonition to her sisters, was one
of the finest incidents of his character
ization.
