Special Cable
SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Feb. lS.-
The fighting rivalry between two
great speed kings which is expected
to reach its climax I'm the Vanderbilt
cup race at the exposition here
February 22 also promises to make
this the last as well as the most
spectacular of the contests for this
coveted trophy
De Palma and Grant!
They are the men about whom the
drama Of the forthcoming event re-
wolves with most intensity.
Both have twice won the $4,000
cup. Either one needs win but once
more TO retain 1t permanently.
Ralph De Palma was among the
first to file his entry. Harry Grant
has umofficially announced that he
would come In, as have more than %
other famous mahOuts Of America
and Europe,
Not only has he two Vanderbilt events
and one second prize TO his credit,
but he also won third in the 1911
Savannah Grand PriN and has the
distinction Of being the first man 10
cover the entire Vanderbilt course
without a stop.
His best average speed made at
Santa Monica, Cal, in his Mercedes
last year. was 1916 miles per hour.
In 1913 at Milwaukee, where he also
won, he averaged G9.97 miles
Harry Grant captured the 1909 and
1910 Nanderbilts, both at the Long
Island Motor Parkway, driving an
Alec.
His top speed was an average of
65.1S miles an hour
fHharp ig thprnfpya a liffgT1Opa d
about 10 miles an hour average In
favor Of De Palma over his speedy
rivals best time.
To prevent the trophy for which
scores of intrepid mahouts have
rlskcd their lives since 1904 from
passing beyond the realm of compe-
tition, the 25 or 80 other contestants
may he expected to force the going to
an even more desperate pace this
year
The field includes such noted
Cooper, Louis Disbrow, William Carl
son, Duesenberg, Caleb Bragg, Mar
quis, the Italian, and others.
The situation has raised interest to
the most intense pitch throughout the
sporting world, and a crowd of at
least 100000 is expected to witness
what may very likely be the last OF
the present Vanderbilt cup races. The
grandstand alone will seat $4,000.
Because Of the shortness of the eX-
position course and the sharp turns
necessitated by the big fair palaces
that bound part of the speedway, the
element of danger to the drivers has
been greatly magnified.
Heretofore the shortest Vanderbilt
cup course has been about eight miles
n tho lam hero n is less than four.
necessitating twice as many turns.
The S00-mile race will be completed
in 20 loops.
With an average of three minutes
to the loop, the racers will be in
view Of the vast audience practically
all the time.
Either De Palma's or Grants win
ming of this contest will call for the
donation of new cup or the terml-
nation of this blue-rbbon event of the
auto world.

change that has come over the patrons

The actors are notorious wild base
