Surprise on the First
Winners of National
Challenge Trophy.

In spite OF the unfavorable weather
conditions. the annual championship
series Of the National Football League
got under way yesterday at Newark
with match between the Brooklyn
Football Club. when was the first to
win the national challenge trophy, and
the Alley Boys OF Newark. The home
team won by score Of 10 0. and the
victory was especially popular because
the Alley Boys team Is made up wholly
Of native American players.
The outcome OF the game was settled
within the first minute, when the only
score was made through poor kick OK
a wet ball on the part OF Chaser, the
Brooklyn loftback. The goal was the
result Of good work on the part OF
Mulvey, whose long kick was advanced
by Mayors, the centre forward.
The Brooklyns were forced TO play
the better part of the game with only
ton men, in consequence OF the ruling
Off OF King, their star inside LEFT.
King. when down in a scrimmage, was
badly kicked IN the face Resenting
this, the Brooklyn forward started to
punish the offenders, when the other
players and spectators took a hand, TO
the end that play was interrupted for
ten minutes. The referee had seen
only kings offence, and he was the one
10 suffer.

ELECTRIC TTMER
FOR ASTOR RACE
Mechanical Device Elimi-
mates Chance for Error
in Checking Cars.

The electric machine that will time
the racing cars at the Astor Cup race
at Sheepshead Bay Speedway on Satur-
day is being used daily at the elimi-
nation races. 1t is an ingenious com
bination of chTonometer and printing
machine and resembles stock ticker.
The chronometer is connected with the
wheels Of the printing machine, when
are operated by small motor, and
which runs at the same rate as the
chronometer. It is kept accurate BY
the automatic breaking of the current
each half second. which momentarily
stops the revolving wheels of the print
ing machine. This contrivance me-
chanically keeps the totals like an add
ing machine.
As a car crosses the tape in front OF
the grandstand an operator presses q
button, which causes the printing ma
chine to stamp the time on a strip
Of paper coming from a roll about
three inches wide. The number Of the
car is entered opposite the time, which
is printed in minutes, seconds anu
hundredths Of seconds. This is con
tinued without intermission until the
race is finished A glance at the tape,
therefore, will show instantly the
elapsed time for any car in the race.
In the meantime two sets of scorers
have entered on strips of paper tho
numbers of the cars in the order in
which they cross the tape lap after
lap. 10 is not necessary TO know the
time in order 10 determine the winner,
as the car which first makes IT'S laps
completing the $50 miles will win,
whether the distance be run at fifty
miles an hour or at 100.
After the race is finished the three
records must correspond, and the pos
sibility Of a mistake or an error is
almost negligible. As a further pre-
caution. each driver is permitted to
have a scorer present TO represent him
and to see that he is credited with
each lap he makes.
In order to make 100 miles an hour
car must travel the two-mile track
in ! minute - seconds. When going
at 40 miles an hour the car will make
q lap in 1 minute 3-5 second
II is possible to connect the electric
timing machine with a wire crossing
the track. so that each car registers
the time 1t passes, but in practice It
has been found that better results are
obtained when an operator presses the
button 10 record the time.
Elimination trials for the race will
be resumed at the Speedwa~ at
o'clock this afternoon. Twenty-three
Of the thirty candidates still have TO
show the American Automobile Asso-
citation contest board officials their
ability 10 negotiate a lap at a mini
mum rate OF eighty-fve miles an hour.
