HOW THEY QUALIFIED.
BY FRED S. HUNTER.


At 2:30 this afternoon Starter Fred
Wagner will wave his red .flage and
seventeen of the fastest racing auto
mobiles in the world will start on
their purusit Of the prize money and
glory which will go to the winner OF
the, second annual Omaha champion
ship automobile derby.
That the classic this afternoon will
lie the most desperately fought and
the most sensational race meet of the
1916 season is the universal opinion
of the officials, the drivers and the
rail birds who follow the racing
game. TIE field is unquestionably as
any ever assembled and the track
ranks as the fastest in the world.
The full number of seventeen cars
permitted by the American Automo-
bile association, under whose auspices
the race will be run, will go to the
post in the main event, the l50-mile
race, this afternoon. Eighteen cars
qualified, but Ed Rawlings was
pushed out because he could only do
ninety miles an hour, while the other
seventeen did better. Rawlings, how
ever, will get into the 50-mile race,
which follows the big event.
Three More Qualify.
Three more cars qualified in the
eliminations held yesterday after.
oonn. Aldo Franchi, Hughie Hughes
and Tommy Milton are the fortunate
pilots.
Franchi made the best mark of the
three. He sent his powerful Pusun
around in a. As, clip of a little
better than 100 miles an hour. He
will receive tenth position at the start
by virtue of this mark.
Hughie Hughes was right behind
Franchi. He qualified at ninety-nine
miles an hour and gets eleventh posi-
ton. Hughes was originally sched-
uled to drive a Duesenberg here, but
he could not get his machine in shape
following mechanical mishaps at
Sioux City, and he was signed yes
terday to drive the Delage car which
Jules Devigne intended to drive.
1t was joyful news for the speed
enthusiasts when it became known
Hughie would pilot the speedy De-
lage because Hughie is absolutely
master at the wheel and he can be
counted upon to make a fast and
furious pace.
Milton Makes First Sart.
Tommy Milton, who did not arrive
until Thursday, went upon the track
for the first time yesterday and quail
fled his Duesenberg for twelfth place
nj the start at ninety-eight miles all
hour.
Wilbur D'Alene, Milton's Duesen-
berg teammate, startled the rail birds
yesterday by beating Eddie Ricken-
bacher and Dave Lewis in the fight
for starting positions. Wilbur quail
fled at 104 miles IN hour and catches
fourth position as a result while Rick
and Lewis fall to fifth and sixth.
Wilbur had the old Duesy popping
yesterday and if it works as nicely
today trouble is in store for some
body because D'Alene will give the
car all she can hold.
Jack Gable, who drives the Burman
Special, also bettered his mark yes
