INTEREST GROWING HOT
IN PROPOSED LOCAL
AUTOMOBILE RACE

Much talk, questioning and general
interest is daily shown regarding the
local auto road race plan. The editor
of this department is daily running
the gauntlet of anxious fellows desir
ing to enter. If proper committee
is established and work proceeds at
any gait at all the big snorters should
be in action soon Many local auto
enthusiasts are ready to enter pro-
viding things are arranged to give
them at least three weeks time to
tune up cars. In an interview with
Gait Ingram of Ray Norman Co.,
Ingram stated:
"Promoting a local road race is
no cinch. Andy Rogers and | tried it
last fall and got away with it, but we
had fair week to help US along and
worked that as an excuse to create
sufficient interest. Without plenty of
public sentiment in favor of it it is
liable to fall through as the city and
i county authorities must be shown
this in order to get them to lift the
speed ordinances and so must the
merchants, in order to get liberal do
nations out of them, for outside of the
work the finance is the main issue.
Practically all entrants want a guar
antee of a pretty fair sized purse and
this amount has got to be guessed at
fairly accurately by the promoters,
who must figure out how large they
can make it by summing up the pos
sible entrance fee and donation
amounts.
Four times around the course be-
tween here and Imperial is approx
imately SO miles and makes an ideal
distance for local road race. How
ever, for even race of this kind
the date must be set at least three
weeks ahead in order to give the en-
trants time to fix up their cars, mean
while there is lots of work to be
done, such as arranging the course,
getting w. A. A. sanction, posting
signs, drafting of rules, selecting
judges, timers, ETC., soliciting and coll
lecting donations and getting permis-
sion from the proper authorities.
taking it all in all it means lots
of trouble and work for the promoter
and is a thankless job, but if suffi-
cient interest is created we will do all
we can to help it along"

WALLACE ROBB SAYS
A. A. u. SUCCESS is DUE
TO J. E. SULLIVAN

The Amateur Athletic union has
been very fortunate in many things.
One of these is that one of the men
who had the most to do with its for
nation has continued to be the most
active officer down to the present
date / refer to James E. Sullivan,
secretary and treasurer, and the one
man who more than any other is the
hub of the great amateur athletic sys-
tenn.
Associated with Mr.. Sullivan at the
beginning were number. of other
men who have been continual sup
porters of the amateur athletic move
ment, and men who have risen to
prominent places in the affairs of the
country. / refer to Judge Barlow S.
Weeks of the New York supreme court
Colonel Mills of the United States
army, and DR.. Luther A. Gulick of
national fame as the playground ad-
wiser. There were many other pronl-
nent men, some of whom are now
dead and some for business reasons
are no longer connected with the ath-
letic work, who gave much of their
valuable time and advice toward the
formation of the early organization.
The first clubs to be identified with
this movement were the old Pastime
athletic club, New York city, and the
New York athletic club. The first as
sociation, which was designated the
Metropolitan association, had these
two clubs and a few others as the
initial members. The Metropolitan
association has continued to grow un-
til it is now composed of nearly 200
clubs, representing every nationality
and all classes of athletic organiza-
tions.
The constitution, by laws and crgan-
ization of this club have been used as
a pattern for the formation of the
other associations that we have
throughout the country, such as the
Southern Pacific association which
we have here in Los Angeles. Each
association has it's regular set OF
officers and committees. The commit
tees are the most important factors OF
the athletic work. The governing
committee is known as Registration
committee" 1t is the power and duty
of this committee to supervise and
sanction all athletic meets held in
the territory under their jurisdic-
ton. They also grant amateur cards
to the individuals after passing on
the applicants eligibility to compete
in amateur ranks.
The sports over which the Amateur
Athletic union claims jurisdiction are
track and field, basketball, boxing,
wrestling, gymnastics and swimming.
A special committee is appointed to
promote each special line of activity.
This is entirely outside of the work in
each club of the same sports. For in
stance, the Los Angeles Athletic club
has a swimming committee that looks
after the swimming events of the
club. The local A. u. branch also has
swimming committee which looks
after the open meets in which all clubs
may participate. The same system
works throughout the other lines OF
sport, all committees working toward
one end-that of promoting sports in
the clubs and schools, as well as open
meets.

Besides handling a large stock of auto
accessories and supplies the Indian
motorcycles and the famous Hudson
automobiles are sold by them. The
large, well fitted store is credit to
the valley. Nothing but the best is
carried in stock and service is pre-
dominate. Demonstrations are gladly
given in all parts of the valley on the
Hudson car and the Indian motorcycle.
The firm of Roy Norman has been
engaged for the past week in estab-
fishing their new Imperial branch. A
good line will be carried in the new
addition in the City Garage of I'M
perial. Anything not on shelves there
may be obtained at once at local es-

services of a first class supply house
in Imperial and as result the branch
started operation. C. Canterbury will
have charge.
Dryden & Shank, valley distribu-

the we'll known Standard Garage at
Seventh and Main, has expressed
great possibilities here. Business with
him is coming fast. Bowles has placed
in his garage an automobile carbon
remover that actually does the work
without tearing down the engines.
This machine will make a great hit
here no doubt. The work is done by
oxygen and other properties and is
done to the entire satisfaction of those
who have tried it.
The Norman Co. is showing good
pair of windows this week along with
the always large stock inside.
The local manager of Alcorn Rub
Der Co. returned the first of the week
with large shipment of Standard
tires in all sizes. A better stock of
supplies is now on hand.
F. H. Stanley of Stanley-De Blois
will return from Los Angeles the first
of the week with more Studebakers.
The demand for these popular cars is
increasing rapidly.
The Studebaker people have sold
out everything that resembles Stu
debaker, selling the last six few
days ago to Cornelous and Egleston
of Brawley.

little craft with the sturdy REQ will
make pair of live ones for the valley
notice.
The large, well known firm of STAN

Many improvements shave been intro
ducd in this end and the result has
been quite noticeable.
Ingram Bros. of Roy Moorman Co.
are making improvements in their
well known auto supply business.
These fellows are determined to give
valley motorists the best of service

better stocked house is hard to find.
