SCunCS
The postponed Labor Day races
were held at Richland Center on
Friday afternoon, a number If To-
cal people driving over to see the
Baraboo racers perform. There
were about 200 paid admissions
and another thousand or two spec.
tators looking on from every con-
ceivable corner outside the fence
Herbert H. Grubb of Baraboo
came off victor in several events,
the most interesting being center
ed in the $1,000 purse race between
A. H. Rotzoll of Baraboo and Mr..
Grub, driving his Dodge Golden
Flyer. This race came about
through challenge, following
races in Baraboo, and has been
awaited with interest by Baraboo
race track fans. Mr.. Grubb won
both heats of the five mile race,
the time for the first five miles
being Gal and that for the second
6:38. In each heat, Rotzoll with
his Jewett took the lead but was
quickly overtaken by Grub.
Australian Pursuit
The Australian pursuit race in
which any car passed by another
is out of the running was won by
Grubb of Baraboo with his fronty
Ford, time 6:15 and.8 for the five
miles. MINERS, driving an Essex
came in second, and Refs of Bara-
boo with the Laurel coming in
third. The latter made good time
but missed out when man passed
across the track in front of his
car, only escaping being hit by the
good driving of Refs.
Probably the most exciting race
of the day was the first heat Of the
five mile race between Grubb with
his Dodge, Refs with the Essex,
and Aliens Chevrolet.
The Essex took the lead at the
start and maintained this place for
the first two or three minutes,
closely followed by Grub, who fin
ally passed the Essex, winning the
first heat in 6:35 and IS. This race
was really thriller and supporters
of, the Essex and the Dodge were
vociferous in their applause as the
two passed he grandstand several
times with hardly daylight between
them.
The second heat was won by
Grubb in GAS.
Ford Stock Race
The first regular race was five
mile stock Ford race in which L.
G. WEIGH of Baraboo got away to a
bad start with his truck but finish
cd first, the time being 7:49. Meade
came in second, Quinn Third, and
Stowel fourth
Glen Allen drove a Laurel Ford
against time, making the alf mile
in 46 seconds.
Gala Day for City
The races made a gala da? for
RichlanG Center, the stores closing
at noon. The city was decorated
abundantly with American flags.
So tightly were the stores closed
that some Of the belated Baraboo
people had a hard time to get any,
thing to eat.
Mayor Adolph andre of Baraboo
acted as announcer Throughout. the
races and also took a turn III the
Galloping Ford to the amusement
of the crowd in the grarGstand.
With Herbert Grub driving, the
Mayor must have felt qualified to
ride the widest kind of bucking
bronco after he had made his des-
cent from. this mirth-proyoking
steed.
To Race Here
At the conclusion of the after
moons races IT was announced that
the cars will race again at the fair
grounds during the Sank county
fair.
