WORLD of SPORT

Isotta and MT. Marquis Sunbeam car, are capable of breaking the worlds record during these races
 The famous De Lage car arrived in New York City last Tuesday and was immediately transferred from the boat to an express car which is due in Los Angeles today. The driv- CT of the car, Omar Toft, who was injured in France while trying out the car, is again in good condition to drive He will be accompanied on the car by a De Lage factory me chanic. This is particularly good news to the many well wishers of Mrs Leotia K Northam who pur- chased this car and imported it for the good of the automobile sport and who is without question the day.
 The duel between Barney Oldfield in his Mercer and Ralph De Palma in his Mercedes car will be well worth watching. These two drivers are the bitterest kind of enemies and do not hesitate to say so when ever occasion arises As the matter lies at present Oldfield seems to l have little the best of it, but De Palma will make an awful effort to beat him out in both the Vanderbilt cup and International Grand Prize races. There is little to choose be- tween the two cars from a stand point of speed and reliability. Old field will have the fastest Mercer car that has ever been turned out ! of the factory. De Palma has the same car with which he won the Vanderbilt cup race over the Mill Waukee course in 1912, and which he will drive in the coming races
 The other entries in the Wander i bilt Cup and International Grand i Prize races are not to be overlooked. There is one seventy horsepower Fiat and two one hundred and twen- i ty horsepower Flats These cars will be ably handled by Frank Yer beck, Dave Lewis and Teddy TetZ- laff Teddy Tetzlaff holds the worlds road race record made on this same course and with the same car he will drive in this race at an average speed of 1872 miles per hour
 The two StutZ cars entered in the coming races are faster than ever before and are handled by two of the very best drivers in the world Gil Anderson and Earle Cooper Cooper was the American road race champion of 1913 and Gil Anderson drove his car to second place in the
 Indianapolis speedway of 1913 anC was winner of the Grand Prize race over the Milwaukee course in 1912. The two fast Mason Special en-
 tries, driven by William Carlson o San Diego and Dave Lewis, ar,
 worthy of notice as they are wei
 known throughout the east as two
 of the very fastest American bull
 cars.
 The International Grand Prize
 race is deserving f it's name ina.s
 much as there are cars. competing
 in this race from England, France
 Germany, Italy and the United
 States and will be driven by tn,
 very best drivers in the United
 States.

Cars entered in both the Wander bilt cup and International Grand Prize races will be allowed to carry the names of their cars on both sides of the hood. which is a sportsmanlike concession on the part of both the Automobile Club of America and the American Automo- bile Association, who control these two events.
 Most all of the drivers in the coming race have established head quarters at Santa Monica, Cal. so they will not lose so much time go- ing and coming from Los Angeles.
