Reeorda Are Reduced


 The recent sale of Dlrectum l.. the pacing champion for a sum said to be close to S45.OOO brings to mind the remarkable gain in speed made by the side-action racer in recent years. A study of the records from 1866 to 1915 shows that in this period of 49 years the mile records made either in com petition or against time has been re- duced from 2:2llk to 1:55. a gain of 265s seconds. Directum holds race records of 1:5S made at Columbus, O., on September 30, 1914, and Dan Patch the against-time record of l:55 made at St. Paul Minn. on September g., 1906.

 A bitter denunciation of German methods ol warfare is hurled forth in letter to officials of tho Indianapolis motor speedway by George BoIlott' a participant in the last 5OO-mile race, who has been driving ear for Gen. Joffree at the front ever since the war begun. and, therefore is in DO. sltion to speak with the greatest au- thority Boilcts letter is in part as follows
 Naturally fresh news Of the war is something cannot give ! can tell, you. however that you have no idea of what 1t is like, and with what cruel enemies we have Co deal.
 "l do not know what is America's opinion about the war and what news you can read about it give you my word that in all the trips that ! have made have been able to see such horrors committed by the Germans that no civilized man can think of. Tn telling you that after their passage not one soul neither one stone stand mp. you will understand how cruel 1t is for the inoffensiye folk. ] have lived one year in Germany should not have thought that such country would dishonor itself in such a way.
 At the beginning of the war we stood with difficulty against the num- ber of the men and guns that were coming with such tremendous speed on Uaris. Since our great victory. things have altered and 1t is abso. lutely impossible for France now not to be victorious"
 Boillott also gave an excellent pie ture of conditions now prevailing in the fighting area. From his descrip- ton it is evident that operations in the Spring will be attended by the greatest difficulty
 Since the 7th of July have been constantly on the road, flying from one point to another, with very little time to spare Time is more than money over here. It's life
 'SThe driving of cars inside the fighting has become tremendous work as well as a dangerous one. With camons and an the artillery staff with lorries carrying food and busses carrying troops, the roads have been unable to stand the strain. So with the rain we have had lately it looks as we were touring in the bed of river instead of road. You can imagine what a job 1t is when you have to be at such place at an ap- pointed time and that you are held up on the road with your car sticking in the mud as far as your back axle. We couldn't get along but for horses and chains to pull us out
 Boilott concludes his letter with some personal news concerning GonN and Rignal his former racing team. mates, and, incidentally, states that he has been making attempts to get away l for the next 5OO-mile race, but, to date, has been unsuccessful.

Draw Poker American
 Being an. American product, draw poker Is one of the things than sa Engushman does no. take up, thot s,i the average Briton
 At a Chicago club someone put up an ltinerant Englishman, with lux wIous growth of auburn whiskers and a desire Co observe, not 10 learn. the queer customs of the Americans
 He had erudite ideas about the arr. chitecture of some famous buildings, and could recite the Piclzwick Papers, but he wasn't bit keen for double. barrelled eyeglaeses or the great American game which. like Bret Hart's| "Heathen Chinese he did not un- derstand
 Leisure hours were plentiful with Che Briton and often when he had barely started on what he intended to be an instructive dissertation on Engllnh politics one after another of the group he was addressing would slip away 4 few minutes later he would find the untutored Americans sitting around a table playing poker.
 He didn't own hair trigger mind, but eventually discovered that his new acQualntancos preferred poker to heinz stuffed with information.
 Then he decided he too would play lhe game. and after watching 1t care mlly for a night he announced at the next evenings session a desire to mingle-
 TO ahoo him away seemed to that bunch of hlghbinders to be flying in the face of providence. so they made seat for him ard dealt him hand.
 Following the custom as he had ob- served t he held the only pair he had. dueces. discarded and called for three cards. In arranging the hand one man. at lcast on either side saw his whiskers was standing on pair of deuces.
 The workout that Englishman got was quick and violent The players on either side of him started in on the crosslit system and whenever the new player thought his trouble was over by calling the man on his right he found himself up against it with fresh raise from the man on his left, the intention evidently being to divide Che a,ranger's money after the daughter
 He happened to have plenty of mon ey, more than his tormentors, and he forced them Go call.
 CT have two deuces." he said DOS sibly something else, have not yet observed the cards acquired subse- Quently"
 He turned his hand over and gave the others another look at his pair of two spots and also let them gasp as they saw three lovely aces.
