managers over the standard which the
Mitchell service In the Page Company's

the men who can and shall deliver the
most service-the maximum motoring
satisfaction-to the customer per dollar

he said, "aud yet in all that vast dis
lance covered by so many inexperienced

gratifying to know that so far We have

WEATHER NO BAR TO
CLOSED CAR SALES
Houpt Says They Are Buying
Hudson Town Machines
Just as if 1t We're Cool.

zone would think hat winter has al
ready begun instead Of the town swelter-
ing in midsummer heat, judging by the
demand for closed cars" said Harry
:. HOupt, the Hudson distributor, yes
ttrday. Last week We resolved our
first allotment OF town and closed cars
from the Hudson factory, but owing to
the number of riders We have received
our allotment Of closed cars will be sold
before tine fall season les half over.
There are two very good reasons
for this demand continued Mr., Houpt,
"One reason is hat the New York public
at least appreciates the comfort and
luxury Of the closed car over the touring
car and the other quite as Important
reason l. that the Hudson company was
the first OF the makers TO realize the
importance Of catering to this demand.
"In the old days or even a year or
50 ago the price of a good closed car
practically confined its use to the
wealthy classes. The Hudson company,
however, this year have brought out a
full line Of closed cars which. TO quote
the catalogue. combine 'distinctiveness
%.thout e~Xtravarance.'
That We hold no exaggerated esti-
mate Of the worth of these cars Is In
i.rated by the sales we have made &c
rNrerirrccd motorists, who after inves-
,isat.ng the merits ~ other cars on th'
| row have come In and purchased Hud'

very often the plates would make a con-

STAR DRIVERS OF NATION
VIE AT SHEEPSHEAD BAY
De Palma and Resta Will Be Equal Favorites for the
Great $50 Mile Contest on October 2-Ameri-
can Pilots to Be Prominent Too.

To win a great classic race in New
York Is the chief ambition OF most of
the automobile racing stars. The ma
jority would sooner win a big metropoli-
tan speed event han a race In any
other city. OF recent years there has
been no high class racing near New
York. not since the Vanderbilt Cup race
OF 1910.
Among the many crack drivers to he
seen in competition for the Aston Cup
race at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway
on saturday, October 2, none is more
anxious to get into the contest than the
drivers who claim Greater New York as
their home. They will have to fight
hard against the boys from other sec
tons Of the country. and these in turn
will have to battle with and help the
New Workers defend the trophy against
the foreign invaders.
or tho metropolitan drivers, Ralph
De Palma, twice winner of the Wander
bit cup and victor in he last Indian
apolis 500 mile race, would rather cap
ture the first leg on the Aston Cup in
the Speedway contest thar any other
classic on the calendar. Ralph grew
up in Brooklyn. having come to this
country from Italy at he early age OF
years.
The other Ralph-Ralph Milford
is also a Brooklyn boy and he IL equally
anxious to make a showing in his home
borough. Ira Vail is a New York boy
intent upon giving a good account OF
himself. and liughie Hughes likewise.
Caleb Bragg, millionaire driver. whose
home i Manhattan, has a big follow
ing particularly among amateur sports
men. Bragg. winner of the 1912 In
irrational Grand Prize. is a Yale grad
hate, and many sons of Eli will root
Cor Bragg. The fact that Everard
thompson Of Yale Bowl fame is gem
eral manage OF the Speedway also
means that New Haven will support
the race with Il big delegation.
1t must be remembered that many big
races have been won by New Workers.
Recall how George Robertson won the
Vanderbilt Cup in l90s-the first Amer
lean entry TO Eft il. Recall De Palma's
victories IN more than 200 road and
track races, and the late David Bruce
Browns winning Of two Grand Prizes
al Savannah.
Just as these boys are anxious to win
on their home territory, so the Western
contingent Is tChing to lift honors and
carry them away from the realm OF
Sheepshead Bay. California has pro-
duCed some remarkable drivers, who
have never been seen in action on
metropolitan soil. Earl Cooper, who
has a long string of big Western and
middle Western victories to his credit
has never had a mount here. Neither
has Tetzlaf, Earl Devore or Grover
Huckstall, all from the Coast. Imagine
after the recent tennis championship
victory Of william Johnston how Cali
