AUTO NOTES

Between $50 and 200 women soon viii
be driving military motor cars behind
| the French front.
Women have tried since the begin
ming of the war to enlist in the au-
ltomobile service. The Club Femlnln
Automobile was the center OF tnis
group, and 1t had secured the sigma
lures of several hundred of the thou
sand women in Paris who hold licenses
| to drive motor cars The passive re-
| sistance of the different war bureaus
held them back until now.
| The women are obliged to enlist for
three months and to agree to submit
scrupulously to military rules and dis
cipline. They will in the beginning
replace motor ambulance drivers in
the foreign sanitary sections who are
transferred to other services. Later on
they may replace men in other auto
mobile sections
The only big automobile race of the
1917 season to be run in the east VIII
be the contest for the $4,000 Harkness
trophy event, which has been set for
September %. at the Sheepshead Bay
Speedway The race will be at 100
miles. and there is every prospect that
the fastest cars and the best drivers in
the country will face the starter.
This trophy. offered two years ago
by Harry S. Hardness owner of the
speedway. is one of the most priced re-
wards of the sport.

will have a hard time defending his
laurels for the field against him prom
ises to be an excellent one. Ralph De
Palma. Louis Chevrolet. Ralph Mulford,
Ira Vail and possibly Barney Oldfield
Will be among the starters. and a new
record for 100 miles seems certain to
be set.
The trophy event will be but one of a
series Of feature races. There will be
handicap affair. the first to be con-
tested on an eastern race course. In
this event some of the most prominent
and most daring pilots will be opposed.
1t is likely that De Palma. who re-
Gently defeated Chevrolet and oldfeld
in series of three races, will start
from scratch. The distance of this race
has not yet been decided upon. but will
be announced in a few days by William
H. Wellman, promoter of the meet.
There will also be several short dis
tance races.
Road work in Pennsylvania for 1918
and 1919 will cost the state $4,000, 600,
this amount having been appropriated
by the Legislature for the purpose.
More than third Of this sum will come
from automobile tax revenues and will
be used only for the maintenance of es-
tablished state roads. A half million
dollars will be used in taking over
privately owned toll roads. two of
those being considered being on the
route of the Lincoln highway in York
and Lancaster counties.
The sum of 100000 is allowed for
new road construction, according to
Lieut. Governor. Frank B. McClain,
Pennsylvania state consul of the Lin
coin Highway Association II Ia aimed
to include the Improvement of twelve

Snitz then goes on to tell a touchin
tale about a wee Irish jockey who he
helped to plant under tn sod on tn
same day he writ his letter, an as Lon

tell nobody goodbye nor hear tn band

straightway scribbled a pome about 1t.
which appears at tn bottom.
1t seems that tn liz rider, who was
just breakin into fame on the big Eng

army. but was turned down cold on
account of his size, he weighin' but
ninety-eight pounds. but instead o
takin' no for an answer he hikes out
rice or some kind o foodstuff an
slowed away on feed train that was
bound for tn front.
O. course. he was snitched. but when
tn general seen how in earnest he
was, an what a below he made when

him up in khaki an let him stick

FREEMAN BISHOP
BATTLE HEAVY
DETTING AFFAIR

When Sailor Freeman and Joe Bishop
clash in the semi-windup of the boxing
show at Racine Friday night probab bly,
the biggest betting semi-windup match
ever staged in these parts will be in full
swing About $4,000 will charge hands
on the outcome.
Ghetto followers of Freeman are
backing him heavily to beat Bishop. yet
as fast as a Freeman dollar appears It
is snapped up by the Bishop admirers.
Tommy Thomas and several of his
friends yesterday invaded the Freeman
quarters with bankrolls seeking takers.
Some was placed with offers to take the
balance later. There is a lot of interest
in this battle to say nothing of the Bit
terness. It's truly a gradge affair and
will bring a host of fans TO Racine.

and aided in the scoring of five runs.
The visitors two successive doubles in
the fifth inning scored their lone tally.
Parduhn Gusts Howard.
Up 10 Sunday Hammond had won five
straight games. yesterdays win made it
six and it was played under a new man
agement. Owner Paul Parduhn ousted
"Bill' Howard from the managerial job
and put Frank Fowler. veteran player
of Hammond. in his place. When asked
the reason of the move Parduhn said:
I'VE agreed to disagree. Besides he has
been losing money for me. Last sun
day I lost $500 through him. ON ac-
count Of the weather week ago sun
Gay 1 telephoned him at South Chicago
TO see Joe Green. manager of the Chi
cago Giants. and cancel the game. He
didn't see Green and the Giants came
out. Howard felt that we should play
after I had cancelled the game. We had
an argument and few days ago l fired
him"
Towards side of the story is: Par
duhn called me and l tried to find Green
I came out 10 Hammond and asked Par
duhn If il wouldn't be Better 10 play
and split gate receipts with the Giants.
This way he wouldn't have lost money.

had an advisor he thought better than
I TO make him manager. Parduhn has
never co-operated with me. l have done
all could TO give the people frst-class
baseball. 1t has cost me more than he
paid me-"
Fowler should make a capable and
popular manager. He has played ball
with Hammond teams and had charge of
many teams in semi-pro and league play
about the country.
Although there is division among
the fans, some thinking Parduhn un
tactful for discharging Howard after he
had led the team so far this season
