Arizona republican., 1914-11-10


half mile track, one short stop in
front of the grand stand to be an
nounced, petted, shaken by the hand,
photographed and otherwise hero
ized-then Ed Orr spoke up in IL
voice that sounded like it had con-
siderable burnt gas fumes in it, and
said:
Il want to see my mother and 1
want a drink of water
The good mother did not make
any bones about ecstatically kissing
her two boys right in front of tho
crowds and on their horribly grimy
countenances. She did more than
that. She consented to be photo
graphed in that pose.
Then Miller drove his car to the
roadside and explained and comment
ed and said Thanks to congratu-
latory greetings and entertained u
considerable crowd of chaps and
chapines who wanted to get
glimpse of this wonderful fellow who
had made road racing history Pre-
sently Sam Chappelle chugged up on
his ridiculous motorcycle and an
nounced that somebody had announc-
ed that a fellow on Central avenue
crossing had seen dust.
Once more did Purdy Bullard and
his cohorts yell Get out of the way"
and Paul j. C. Derkum pulled out his
two turnips and Patton unwound the
checkered flag and the mob began to
| assume the popular tiptoe pose.
L
No. IA showed up over the Seventh
avenue bump. AS it flew toward the
finish, the exhausts shooting straight
cut from the side of the hood made
/ Black fancy work in the film of gray
Dust that followed the car. Johnny
Hutchins was driving to beat the
World-and all the world amounted
to him was few minutes or a few
seconds less time between Car. No.
IA and that fence corner
He had good lead on Tom
Brewers Marmon but he didn't know
it. The Alamogordo driver was wish
ing with a terrific wishfullness that
he would hurl himself into the mon
(Which he succeeded in doing.
Tom Brewers victory over Cor
nus Stutz was more of a fight. But
three minutes separate the Marmon
and the Stutz. Both had trouble
! Brewer and Galbreath put on twelve
tires-four of them yesterday. You
couldn't call it changing them. f)r
they all flew off themselves, and all
the drivers had to do was get an
other one and put it on. Brewer
/ left eight hundred dollars worth of
tires useless on the road. Five times
after he had used all he carried and
ell he could buy, he borrowed cas-
ings, hunting like a good fellow to
find someone who possessed rubber
of the proper dimensions. When w.
G. Stanley greeted the team at the
grandstand, he said Praise be. you
are here Forget the tires-and the
car. You brought her in inside the
money and that was all 1 wanted"
Pretty white of him, wasn't it?
Cornu finished three-quarters of
/ an hour after Brewer. He was
played out, cursing like a fiend at
the luck which put him back of
I slow car-the Buick IS, during fiji
teen awful miles on the narrow road.
If l only could have gotten past
| him. he said, almost weeping tears
in his resentment at the turn his
| luck had taken, Il could have beat
the Marmon | had it copped. and 1
Was driving the best I knew how.
/ Haven't been from back of this hero
wheel since we left Bisbee"
Deemer was just as mad and just
as eXasperated at the stunt some
thoughtless checker had played him.
Il squirrel directed the Halliday
driver too far north to get on Nc
Dowen Road, and he managed to
get sightseeing trip through the
north country. He finally came
! down the Black Canyon road and
got in the west gate at the fair
grounds. He circled the track, and
then with a guide. bored through the
crowd to where the checking line
was situated. OF course, it did not
make much difference in his time. FOR
he had sixth place cinched. but it
played hob with his self respect.
Milers Mitchell was the fifth car
to check, and wins fifth place. Yes
