Buick, won several fast races at the
Juarez course, and like Naquin last
year had his car a contender for first
honors in the Ell PasO-Phoenix road
race when it broke down.
Tom Brewer, who drives the Mar
mon, was Mr.. NaQuins mechanician
last year, and has had much experience
in road racing.

a car tomorrow is one who has had
more or less experience in racing cir
cles and some sensational spurts are
expected to be made.

clip two hours off last years record.

automobile road race. The meeting VIII

ton, under whose sanction the race Is
to be run. These rules have been print
ed and given the drivers and mechan1-
clans and each will be carefully eX-
planned. He VIII also give a talk on

I fused and get off the route. The dan
! gerous curtes and soft places in the
ROAD will also be rointCu out to the

VIII aid Wrecked Racers.
Each driver will make the same res
: OlutiOn that was made by the pilots
: who competed in the event in 1913; to
/ lend a helping hand to any driver or
! mechanician of a car wrecked and IN
/ p critical condition. Last year when
! Billy" AdOlph was seriously injured
! when his car turned turtle at Lords
! burg, oliver Creech, driving a Buick,
stopped his flying racer and took the
! injured man back to LOrdstburg. The
. act Of kindness cost Creech all chances
of winning the race, but he won as
much, if noe more glory than was car
ried with the victory OF the classic. The
drivers and motor fans presented
Creech and his mechanician with
{ handsome gold medals in recognition
Of their act Of kindness.
But one entry in the field of 29
| starters has been scratched to date.
This is the Beaver bullet, entered by
( Charles f. Keene, of Beaver Falls, who
I was forced ont Of the issue on account
