FULL WEEK IN GOING
SALT LAKE TO BUTTE

One train on the Short Line,
Known as No. 9, made a record last
week for lack of speed. 1t left Salt
Lake on Tuesday, January l6,
reached Pocatello the same evening
and struck the billiards and drifts
near Dubois the same night, where it
remained fast til! the following Tues
day, January %, when it pulled In
to Butte. The slowness Of progress
was due entirely to the conditions OF
weather which no forces could over
come.
On Friday, January %, the coldest
temperature repurted on the Short
Line system was in that district,
where thermometers went to As be-
low. High winds, blowing a gale Of
thirty n lies per hour, with weather
ranging from twenty to forty de-
grees below zero, marked the entire
day. The weather was such that 4
human being could not stand to bt
out of doors, let alone work. Tht
com mbinatiun of wind and cold delay
ed all trains, but by the liberal us'
of snow shovels and snow plows, al
passengers were put through al
though it is an impossibillty to maxi
schedule time.
At midnight Friday night, JaTu
airy %, tho rotary which was broker
in a head-On collision with freign
train at Monida, was sent to DUBOIS
The rotary had been in the shops
and was again in hrst class condition
when it left Pocatello.
According to off1cial announcement
trains over the northern branch wi.
be late so long as the present un
precedented combination of blizzard
and cold YEA ner continues.

EASTERNERS MAKE INvES-
TIGATION.

In the meantime eastern capital
lists apparently interested in the road
sent a special engineer to the western
part of the state to make quiet In
vestlgation, which he did. He, too,
believed the proposed road to be feas'
ible.and found tonnage to support it.
Later he notified the governor Of his
investigations and showed credentials
to prove that he had the best posi-
bic fiaancial connections. Since then
he has been quietly working on the
financial end of the road and his tele
gram indicates that he has-met witt
success. Unless there is some un

FITZPATRICK HAS
WON MANY RACES
Crack Pilot Who Is to Compete in Gen.
tennial Derby in Davenport Is
Smallest Driver in World.

"Juddy" Fitzpatrick. who is entered
in the centennial 100-mile auto derby
on the Davenport mile track, June is
and 70, has many claims to distinc-
ton. Fitzpatrick is the smallest profes-
slonal auto race driver in the world,
weighing only los pounds, and is now
the heaviest he has ever been. He
holds several worlds records, among
which are the Long Island Motor Park
way, IN which he negotiated mile in
52:4 and what it did to the existing
road record was shame. The mark
is still untouched.
Fitzpatrick first gained reputation as
space eater in Europe. While driv-
ing IN the big contests on the CONT
nent his nerve and daring were wit
messed by Elliott D. Shepard, a broth
er-ln-law OF William X. Vanderbilt.
Shepard brought Fitzpatrick to the
United States TO drive the great Hotch-
KISS 200 h. p. racer, a product of the
Hotchkiss Gun company of Paris.
Whlie driving this powerful crea-
uon In the Vanderbilt cup race, Kill
patrick was cheated out of the victory
when spectator ran across the track
ana was struck by his car and in
stantiy killed. Fitzpatrick was thrown
into the ditch but escaped without Sc
rlous injuries.
HIS career has been a sensational
one. and previous to 1911 he won sew
eral OF the big race meets in the east.
after which he became associated with
Inc late Bob Burman and the pair
toured the United States cutting a wide
swath in dirt track meets and records
he also drove Case car in the sec.
ono 900 mile race at Indianapolis. Kill
patrick is now associated with the
brlscoe Motor company and he will

ENTERS PROTEST
ON SUNDAY CAME
Lift Wires Tearney Holding That Con-
test Went II Innings When it
Was Arranged for Seven.

Secretary Oscar Lift of the Rock
Island Baseball association formally
wired a protest to the second game
Sunday with Bloomington to President
Tearney of the Three-Eye league yes
terday. The local club will not protest
the Bloomer victory on Umpire
Browns shady decisions. Instead the
protest will be based on the fact that
the second game was scheduled to 60
but seven innings and that. if seven
innings could not be played by $50,
the game was to be called sooner than
that. Lift has been securing several
affidavits to the effect that Umpire
Brown announced between the games
that the second contest was to go but
seven innings to allow the the play
ers to catch an early train for Hanni-
bal
Mr.. Lift has received no word from
President Tearney yet as to the prob
able amount Manager Lister will be
fined. 1t is also said that Andy Ware
may come in for fine.
The Moline Baseball association has
not overlooked any bets with the kid
dies in the Plow City. The club last
night adopted plan whereby all boys
who are wearing short trousers will be
admitted free to the park on Tuesdays
and Fridays Of each week, providing
this day does not fall on a holiday.
The majority of the boys who recently
adopted long trousers are now plan
ming to get out the old knee length
garments for these two days.

RESTA WILL RACE
RALPH De PALMA
Rival Pilots to Settle Differences in
Dual Event at Chicago Speed
way Sunday Afternoon.

Chicago. June 13.-Dario Resta and
Ralph De Palma will settle next Sun
day, once and for all, which is the
fastest racing driver this year
They will drive three races, begin
ming at 3 O'Clock. One will be for 10
miles. Another will be for "a miles.
A third will be for so miles. The win
ner will be he who takes two of the
three.
Resta doesn't like the idea which
has gained ground that only luck
gave to his blue Peugeot the first prize
at Sundays derby at Speedway park.
De Palma vows that only his hoo
doc kept him away from the laurel
and adds that his cream-colored Mer-
codes can beat any blue-colored car
on four wheels, not only for 10 miles,
or 500 miles, or 1000 miles, if any
blue car owner wants it SO.
President David F. Reid says the
box Office and the tamarack track at
of both cars at once, so it is agreed.
This isn't challenge race" said
De Palma. ct simply is a case where
I'm going to beat Resta to show Chi
cago friends that they were justified
in believing that my Mercedes was
cheated out of an easy victory by the
old-time hoodoo."
mo, it isn't challenge" said his
fellow Italian. I'm only going to give
proof that the race was won because
drove my car faster than any other.
and could have done even more"
What will be the prize?" an i'll
judged inquiry was heard.
Pooh for prizes" said Resta, and
De Palma snorted likewise.
Satisfaction was what each wanted.
So, as long as they feel that way about
It, it looks as though next Sunday
would find US all out there again
watching them gladiate to their
hearts content
They got their checks and their big
silver cups last night in Speedway
park Office Resta was willing, for
once, to pose with De Palma, because
he had beaten him. De Palma was
willing because he is a good sports
man and because he had visions of
beating Resta Sunday.
The races will begin at O'Clock and
will be under A. A A. supervision,
doubtless by the same officials as ruled
the drive of last Sunday.
