MECHANICS MUST BE
CONSIDERED IN RACES

Violent speed was the cause for
rs per cent of the cars going out
in the Vanderbilt cup and grand prize
races.
The course at Santa Monica was so
East and that continual grind, up
Wiltshire and down the Palisades,
proved too much for even the most
perfected motors on the course.
In some case too much speed caused
the motors to fail. In other cases,
for the drivers. After travelling at
) the rate of 11o miles an hour on the
straightaways, the pilots could not
realize the speed they were hitting
off as they went into the turns and
even some of the veterans sovverran the
turns and were compelled to take ad-
vantage of the open street and back
up to death curve.
One of the mechanics after travelin
at the rate flo miles anrhouT, start
cd to get out with the car travelling
at fifty miles an hour, thinking the car
Imperial Valley press., 1914-03-14

was merely crawling along after a
tire had blown out.
The driver called his attention to
the speedometer. The mechanic turn
ed pale and sat back in his seat, let
ting his jack fall on the floor OF the
car. When the car did come to stop
it was all the driver could do to get
him out.
This inability to Judge speed Is
the cause of many wrecks. After
making great speed, for several miles,
and shutting off and coasting at the
rate of about eighty miles an hour.
without sound from the engine, the
driver has to fight his own judg-
ment and say to himself 'This is too
fast for the turn"
A large percentage of the cars
went out with burnt-out connecting
red gearings. This gives evidence
of the fact that the mechanic was so
interested in the race that he neglected
to pump oil. On the first lap or two
the oil pump is often. neglected. Real
izing his mistake, the mechanic will
flood tn motor, but once the bearing

This, with baseball and football, con

Football, in fact, practically carries
the whole burden of Harvard, since the
$4,000 clear profit on this sport
practically pays all the bills of some
of the other sports. 1t cost the un-

Baseball brought $4,000 and cost

How Murphy Got Action

Here is a new Murphy story-a
tale that shows the wonderful ver-
satility of the great trainer in get
ting results from the athletics under
him.
Ted Meredith, the crack Pennsylva-
MIA runner, went stale on the eve OF
the big race. Murphy knew it-and
knew there was only one way to get
Meredith to overcome it.
So just as the runners were going to
the tape, Murphy, who loved Meredith
like a son, and knew him to be one
of the gamest athletes, called Ted
to him and said:
Look here, Meredith You're yell
low-you're a quitter. You're going
to quit this race-you're going to lay
down to this bunch-and l know it.
just want to tell you in advance that
! know it so you won't come to me
afterward with some phoney excuse.
"Now you get away from here"
Meredith was amazed at first, thea
when the full import of Murphy's de-
nunciation seeped into his brain he
went white with rage. His fists
clenched and he advanced toward Muir
ply. But just at that second the
starter, finding Meredith absent from
the line bawled to him, and it was
case of Meredith rushing over to
the line that very second or having
the race start without him.
an see you when I get through
with this race" snapped Meredith al
Murphy as he ran to the line.
Meredith never ran a greater race
/ in his life than he did that day He
simply ran away from the field. When
he crossed the field and the finish line,
ne never stopped-Just continued to
run TO where Murphy was standing.
He was whirled up to the wonderful
Irish trainer, ready to do battle for
the insult, and found Murphy with
an outstretched hand, and grin on
his face.
"Fine work, Ted, my boy; fine work
Sorry / had to call you names and
get you mad, but you know, my boy,
if hadn't you'd never have won the
race. When a fellows muscles are
gone and his condition poor he'll often
win if you make him mad, call him
quitter and tell him he can't win"
And Meredith, his anger suddenly
cooled, grinned, too, and shook Mikes
hand.

is scorched, a ten gallon tank of
oil will not remedy the trouble.
Sometimes the car will travel 100
miles or more with pounding bear
ing. after once scorched, finally
breaking the connecting rod or crank
shaft.
It's no easy task to sit in the car,
always looking back, pumping oil and
air. watching the tires and not
looking ahead. If a steering knuckle
breaks, the mechanic does not even
have a chance to see what has hap
pened. He is merely thrown out
or rolled under.
The mechanic is also called upon to
look to the pit for signals. The only
time he has a legitimate chance to
look ahead is when he is transmitting
these signs to the driver. He has to
watch the nearest competition and
signal to the driver his approach, so
that he will turn out and give a
man who has the opportunity,
chance to pass.
In betting on car the mechanic
is overlooked. 1t will be remembered
that three cars We're sent into the Co
roma races last year without the re-
gular mechanics. or rather, experienc
ed mechanics. Two of these cars
dropped out in the early part of the
race on account of motor trouble.
1t was noticed that in the Wander
bilt and Grand Prize, more attention
was given to the mechanics by the
drivers. De Palma, the winner of
the Vanderbilt, brought his mechanic,
Tom Alley, out from the east at
great expense.
On the other hand he might have
One of the mechanics after travelling
have been able to sit with him and
pump four guns of oil to every lap;
but that is not half the game. The
mechanic has to have certain amount
of real brains and experience.
Before picking winner, it's import
ant that one thing is remembered;
find out who is riding with your
favorite driver and how much he
knows about the racing game.

M
NAV Irwin.


May Irwin whose effcrvescent per-
sonality is always a. source of keen
delight to t~heatergoerw, comes to the
metropolitan Saturday night with
her most recent success. "NYidow by

The Real Thing and Miss
Ananias."
Miss 1rwin's latest play is said To
be better adapted to her own peculiar
AND unctuons methods than anything
she has heretofore attempted, and the
character Of the singing teacher,
Gloria Grey, affords her unlimited
scope and numerous opportunities to
exhibit her vocal accomplishments.
The story has to deal with the ef.

Irwin to secure a legacy for Dolores

The counterfeit widow goes to the

Of troubles then come thick. The
