the trip over the All-SoUthern and Bor-
derland routes
In speaking of the trip Mr.. Hit said:
I'VE Contemplated making the auto
trip to Los Angeles for several weeks
and were somewhat divided as to what
course to take. But upon reading Of
the record breaking time made in the
FL PasO-PhOeniX race we decided to
take this course. have learned since
that it would have been impossible to
have made the trip by the northern
routes without great hardships as the
snow in many places was deep. The
route by way of Albuquerque is well
advertised in the middle west and east
but 1 believe the southern route the
superior one"
The party drove a Mitchell touring
car and reported the roads in good con-
dition. About the only real bad wealth
er encountered was through the Mesca-
lerO indian reservation. 1t was eX-
tremely cold in the mountains, but the
party did not experience any trouble

and Mr.. and Mrs W W Ewing. They
made the trip over the BOrderlaud.
There were many other tourists pass
ing through the city during the week
while many motorists from nearby
points made the run here. A number Of

Keene Is Recovering.
Robert H. Rinehart of the local auto
club received a letter this week from
Charles Keene, owner and driver Of the
Beaver Bullet who was forced out of
the FL Paso-Phoenix road race by ill
ness stating that he is slowly recover
ing Mr.. Keene is at the home of rela-
tives in st. Louis. He states that his
leg is giving him much trouble and
that he has to walk with the aid of a

and drive his car in the classic.

4 LREADY Ell Paso is deriving
n much publicity from the much
l. n talked Of FL Paso-San Diego road
race which will be run some time dur
ing the latter part of March. 1915 Mo-
tor publications and some of the large
metropolitan dailies are devoting much
space to the race which is termed the
greatest road classic ever contem-
plated.
Interest in the race is increasing
throughout the country and many let
tiers have been received by the FL Paso
Auto club from fasteners asking for
data on the event. This indicates that
the derby, if run, will attract many
tourists to this city during the early
spring of the coming year
Robert H Rinehart, referee OF the
recent Ell Paso-PhOenix race, has writ
ten N B. Naylor, of san Diego, one Of
the promoters Of the classic letter,
giving him an idea of the interest that
is being taken at this end Of the race.
An answer is expected the coming
week. Mr.. Rinehart asked the Callfor-
and what the outlook for its running is.
He has received a letter from the
American Automobile association in
which the sanction of that organization
was given and it will be run under
their rules
The San Diego newspapers have been
devotinE much space to the possibilities
Of the race, and there is much enthu-
siasm manifested on the coast. In re-
cent issue one of these papers an
nonunced that the outlook for the race
being held was more than encouraging
and that such drivers as Barney Old
field. and others of the same type would
compete for honors.
HOO Mile Dash.
The race would be over a course OF
100 miles, perhaps the longest distance
of any road race yet held. This would
necessitate four controls which are yet
to be selected. The route Of the race is
over the Borderland.
Some idea Of the benefits derived
from road racing as a publicity medium
was conveyed this week when a party
of Chicago motorists drove through the
city en- route to Southern California.
The party consisted of Roy L. Barnette,
Will Hit, F. L-Pennypacker and L. Mich

disappointment to her owners and turf
records have yet to show where she
was ever returned a winner excepting
on minor tracks.
FirenZi. which succeeded Miss Wood
ford, in later years as the turf queen
and owned by senator J. 3. Haggin,
the owner of Salvador, was in the
course of time bred to the star stallion
and with like result as in the case of
Sally Woodford.
Salvador, however, despite the above
mentioned failures, redeemed himself
by string the colt Sabable. which was
returned the winner of the rich futurity
and Salvation, each of which have ac-
Quilted themselves favOrably in prOduc-
ing many good performers on the
American turf.
That the despised yearling both in
looks and breeding should not be con-
demned is evidenced in some of the re-
narkable successes attained by what
were supposed to be inferior specimens
of the thoroughbreds.
It is a well known fact that Tenny,
bv RayOn dor, out of the Belle of May
wood, was sold to David Pulsifer in the
sales room at Madison Square Garden,
New York, for the sum of 1925. This
swaybacked animal made for his owner
a fortune in bets as well as winning
in purses close to six figures. In later
years we find the incompatible Haw-
thorne, which was also sold for almost
nothing, understood and Of poor con-
formation in the opinion of experts,
but turned out to be almost unbeaten in
his two year old form and, but for an
Infection of the wind, would have pos
sibly been one of the leading perform
ers of his time.
Old Rosebud, the wonderful two year
old and recent winner of the classic
and valuable derby, can also be named
in the list of the cheaper yearlings and
but for the unfortunate occurance of
his breaking down at the Belmont track
the past spring, when all the rich
stakes in this country and Canada were
considered at his mercy, would in all
probabilities have been one of the largest
purse winning horses of the year.
A large majority of the cheaper
horses which have turned out far su-
perior to their higher priced brothers
and sisters of the turf world has
created in the minds of buyers a super
stition that handsome is, handsome
does" must not be forgotten and that
all the yearling sales of recent years
when a yearling of obscure breeding,
understood and of poor conformation
is led into the ring, there is no lack of
bidding to a fair amount for its pur-
chase.

Jimmy Clabby's Manage r Says Modern Boxers
Are as Good as Old Stars Ever Were.
BY T. S. ANDREWS.

the right to claim the middleweight
championship, his manager, Larney
Llchtenstein, has decided that JeenS
is the greatest fighter that ever lived;
that is, he is by far cleverer than any
Of his predecessors in the art of self
defence. No one will blame Larney
for boosting his clever middleweight to
the skies, for he is surely one Of the
most scientific boxers we have had in
many years. Like his manager, Jimmy
believes the boxers Of today are Just
as good as the old timers, except that
they do not 90 in u be beaten to pieces
without trying to show some signs Of
real science
Writing regarding the matter, man
ager Larney says:
There is great difference in the old
and present style Of boxing. In the
old days it was generally agreed that
the place to aim for in boxing was the
head. So the arms were held up high
and though some such blows as the
kidney punch were known, the body OF
an opponent was generally neglected
The average boxer among the old tim
ers believed that a blow which marked
an opponents face was much more tell
ing than one which landed on the
body and slowed him up.
Don't Box Straight Up.
But the boxer of today pays at least
as much attention to the body as to the
face or head Attempt to box with
man like Clabby or Gibbons or Welsh,
and you'll find that he'll hit you five
times on the body to every punch he
lands on your face or head The style
has changed The old fellows boxed
straight up. The fighters we now
have dig in and strike from every con-
ceivable angle. The only class that
falls below standard is that Of the
heavyWeights. but that is only a tenn
porary situation. It won't be long IN
til we have white fighters who could
have whipped John L. Sullivan. Jim
COrbett, Bob FitzsimmOns or even Jim
Jeffries in the days when Jim could
really fight"
It's Partly True.
A lot Of what Clabby and his man
ager say is true, but just the same It
will take a lot Of convincing to make
some sporting men believe that we
have in the making fighters Of Fitz-
simmOnss weight who can do what
Ruby Robert did. Fitz never weighed
over 1856 to 100 when fighting and still
he met men over zoe pounds and
slashed them to ribbons He held three
heavyweight and heaYyW ight-some-
thing to be proud of. John I. Sullivan
was not only a rugged fighter, but a
clever one, for with all his hard battles
ne has no marks to show where he was
battered about the face, nor bum ears.
which so many fighters have nova
days. As for JeffTies-Weu, when jim
