 Nevertheless Pyle still retained his confidence when he rejoined the troupe last night.
 "In q other three days the or gani2atlon will be completed" he declared. This race has startsd and will reach Los Angeles, and make money
 Ths first good weather of the tour yesterday provided an incentive for the runners 10 do their best. The sun shono on them all the way, giv- ing them the first touches Of the weather beaten look they will wear before the end. The warmth stirred up two of last years veterans, John ny Salo. the Passaic, x. J., police man and Peter Gayu i Of South ampton. Eng, to run dead heat or the lap from Philadelphia. This put Salo in second place in thn elapsed time standing and Gavuzzi in ninth maintained this lead Of about six minutes by taking third place.
