PELS SCORE EARLY

The Pels scored their first marker in the second inning With two men down Stansburg drew walk and i'm mediately stole second. Harry Sylves- ter uncorked clean single to center and Stansburg scored. Ellis felded the ball perfectly and made a beautiful throw to the plate but Haworth let it get by. Sylvester took third on the play. Higgins. however, could not de- liver.
 The Pels scored their second and last run in the third round. Two men were down again before they began their hostilities. Cotton Knaupp singled to left and took second when Cecil Coombs booted the ball Howard Baker cracked a single to right and the Pel Keystoner romped across.
 Three fast double plays prevented further scoring by the Pels. In the fifth, with one down, Miller tripled to left Cotton Knaupp hit a bounder to Caton, who made a pretty stop and throw to first. Miller attempted to score on the play. but was thrown out. Johnston to Haworth. It was pretty play.

AUTO RAGING IS
DURANT'S HOBBY
EVERY MAN HAS ONE FOR
SOME 1T Is GOLF, FOR OTHERS
YACHTING.

Many persons wonder why r. C.
Durant, vice-president and sales man
ager of the Pacific Coast Chevrolet
factory, and also vice-president of J.
w. Leavitt & Co., risks his life on the
race course. The Capital Transfer
& Repair company, local agents. fur
nished the answer this week-racing
is Durant's hobby.
It has been said Of Durant that he
prefers the oil-soaked seat Of a pow
erful racing car to the swivel chair in
his private Office at the Chevrolet fac
tory. This is true, to a certain ex-
tent. There are times when r. C..
(Clih) Durant thinks more Of the
race course than he does Of his posi-
ton in the motor car inustry.
Every big man has some form Of
recreation through which he relaxes
from the strain of business. r. c..
Durant is the son of the well-known
w. C. Durant, head of the Chevrolet
and General Motors companies. as
we'll as the great Chevrolte organiza-
ton.
Durant does not believe in speed
ing on the highways even for testing
purposes, and on the track is one of
the most careful drivers to be found:
but racing is his hobby and he re-
lakes behind the wheel of the fastest
speed creation just as Hugh Chalm-
ers relaxes on the golf links or Elmer
Apperson relaxes along the fishing
streams of Wisconsin, or John N.
WHY'S RECEIVERS from overwork on
his yacht. or Henry B. Joy in touring
across the continent and promoting
the construction of the Lincoln high
way.
Just as Durant's hobby is racing,
the great speed kings have hobbies
of their own. Eddie Rickenbacher,
the mad speed. demon. recognized as
the widest and most fearless Of the
knights of the speed trail, finds re-
taxation playing chess.

Louise looked at John curiously as
