EXPECT BREAKING
OF BOAT RECORDS
American Championship to Be
Decided at Chicago
Sept. 1926.

Chicago. Ill, Sept. 5-Au speed
boat records will be broken at the
American championship races to be
held here Sept. 1926 according to the
estimates of the drivers in this part
of the country. The racing game, with
has not been a success so far this
year but all of the boats of class in
the country have been entered for the
Chicago meet and as the course is one
OF the best in the world a speed of at
least 60 miles an hour is expected.
The boat which is expected to show
this speed is the Disturber ", the new
40 foot hydroplane with which James
A Pugh went to England last July in
his endeavor to win the British inter
national contests. Pugh was unable
to show what his boat could do in
England, as the races were called off
on account of the war, but before
leaving for the other side he had driven
the 1880 horse powered craft so miles
an hour in the one of the three trials
he gave it in Chicago.
H. II. Timken of Detroit and Canton
has entered his famous Kitty Hawk
VI and believes this time he will be
able to overcome the hoodoo which
has held him in its grip all year. The
Kitty Hawk is a tremendously fast
craft and if Thinker gets it going pro-
perly he will be a favorite along with
| Pugh and Blackton for the American
/ championship.
| Blackton has entered his famous
Baby Reliances and Speed Demon and
is out to repeat his triumph of 1917
when he swep, the cards at the races
here that year. Last season Pugh
turned the tables on him with the
| famous Disturber III, but Blackton has

of Rock Island county. Smith, who
will do the hurting tomorrow, is known
through the three cities for his strike.

as ne has in the past, will probably be

RACES AT PARK
WILL BE UNIQUE

Those who journey to Exposition
park on the afternoon of Labor day
will witness some interesting bicycle
races, and which will be absolutely
unique in many ways. The first cycle
race is to be known as the 'falling-of
race, in which the last man drops out
at the end Of each half mile lap. The
distance covered Is 10 miles and the
contest requires unusual stamina and
sticking powers.
The second event is the smile "pur-
suit" race, and every time a rider is
passed by any other rider during the
course he must at once drop out of the
race.
The third, and by far the most i'm
portant race Of the afternoon, will be
the Emile race for the championship
of the tri-cities. Other events of the
day will be as previously advertised.
