GREAT SPEED RIVALS, DEPALMA AND GRANT,
WILL DEFY Death FOR VANDERBILT TROPHY

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8. -
The fighting rivalry between two
great speed kings which is ex-
pectsd to reach its climax In the
Vanderbilt cup race at the EXPOSE
ton here February 22 also prom
ises to make this the last as we'll
as the most spectacular of the
contests for this coveted trophy.
De Palma and Grant!
They are the men about whom
the drama or the Forthcoming
event revolyes with most intcn-
sity.
Both have twice won the S. 900
cup. Either one needs win 1t but
once more to retain II permanent
ly.
Ralph De Palma was among the
first to file his entry. Harry
Grant has unofficially announced
that he would come in, as have
more than rs other famous ma
bouts of America and Europe.
De Palma is the logical ia
vorite. Not only has he two Van
derbilt events and one secoud
prize to his credit, but he also
won third In the 1911 Savannah
Grand Prix and has the distinc-
ton of being the first man to
cover the entire Vanderbilt course
without stop.
Harry Grant captured the 1868
Vanderbilts, both at the Long
Island Motor Parkway, driving AL
Alec.
His top speed was an average
of 60. IS miles an hour.
To prevent the trophy fol-
which scores of intrepid mahouts
have risked their lives since 1904
from passing beyond the realm 81
competition, the rs or 80 other
contestants may be expected Il
force the going to an even more
desperate pace this year.
The field includes such noted
drivers as Barney Oldfield, Ear
Cooper, Louis Disbrow, william
Carlson, Duesenberg, Caleb Bragg
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-02-08

Marquis. the Italian, and Others.
The situation has ratsed inter-
est to the most intense pitch
throughout the sporting world,
and crowd of at least 200, 900
is expected to witness what may
very likely be the last Of the pres
ent Vanderbilt cup races. Tho
grandstand alone will seat 55,-
600.
Because of the shortness OF the
exposition 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.
Either De Palma's or Grants
winning of this contest will call
for the donation of a new cup or
the termination of this blue-rib-
bon event of the auto world.
Already this contingency has
been anticipated and w. l..
Houghson, chairman of the ex,
position racing committee, has
sounded out w. X. Vanderbilt,
jr., as to his intentions. A new
trophy will In all likelihood be
donated.
The Grand Prix race will be
run over the exposition course on
Feb. 81. just five days after the
Vanderbilt. All entrants are
listed for both events.
