For another swoop Of the saucer De
Palma was content to remain IN third
position fronted by Boyer and Null
ford. But on the ninth mile Ralph,
swooping down from high up on the
bank on the far turn, shot through an
opening and nosed Boyer out of second
place. His jump carried him up and
part Milford. De Palma quickly re-
linquished the pace-making position to
the Frontenac.
On the tenth and eleventh miles
Boyer several times made Intellectual
attempts to wrest back second position
from De Palma, but each time Ralph
STAYED of the challenge and chung
grimly on to the rear of Mulfords
speeding Frontenac, which still broke
the wind for De Palma's Packard.
De Palma Jumps Ahead.
It was on the thirteenth mile-the
lucky thirteenth for the great Italian
American driver-that DE Palma chose
to make the strike He delivered the
coup on his favorite place on the track,
tho far turn. De Palma was above and
on the outside of milford when the
Frontenac driver started rounding the
curve. From his position atop the bank
De Palma suddenly swooped like strik-
ing hawk down the embankment and
jumped past the Frontenao before Null
ford was aware Of what was taking
place.
!! milford showed the lever over to the
furthest notch and gave speedy chase.
But De Palma was on victory bent and
with his Liberty motor purring a trl-
umphant pean and exhausts roaring de-
fiance. the big Packard held its place
In the van.
For three circuits of the two mile
saucer only a few feet separated De
Palma's Packard and Mulford's Fronte-
nae. In vain milford tried to catch
the other Ralph mapping, sneak past
and regain the lead. Mulford tempo
rarily gave up. and on the twentieth
mile Boyer wormed his WAY past Null
ford and started giving battle to De
Palma.
To many It looked as II Mulford's
work In the first twenty miles was
clever strategy to swear down De Palma
and give Boyer in the other Frontenac
chance to catch De Palma worn and
spent. II such a ruse was attempted,
however, 1t failed to accomplish the
desired results. for De Palma outduelled
Boyer just az he had Milford.
For two laps Boyer in vain tried to
Milford moved UP again to take his
turn at marrying the helmsman of the
Packard. This time De Palma was not
content simply to stave of Fronte-
macs challenge and hold the lead.
The Packard started singing a louder
tune. The motor roared vehemently and
The cream colored land flyer responded
as II alive and fairly flew over the
boards. There was nothing on the track
that could hold 1t. Slowly but surely
De Palma crept away from Milford.

Boyer and Lewis.
From the twenty-five mile post on the
race was over as far as first place was
concerned. Barring accident to driver
or car the Packard had first laurels
clinched. II only was a question Of
how far De Palma was to win by. Back
Of the Packard, however, there was a
thrilling duel for second place between
Lewis in his Meteor and Boyer's From

Lewis and Boyer was a full mile and
half. All the other cars had been Tapped
or distanced. Milton quit on the twelfth
mile and milford dropped out Of the 60
