PETWORTH'S VICTORY
ELEVATES HER HOPE
Ingram, in the Church League,
Looks Like One of the Cham
pions to Be.
While the season Is but a few days
.eld In the amateur leagues there are
many who are beginning to figure on
the strength of the different teams al
ready, with a view of picking possible
pennant winners.
The notable performance of Petworth
In handily defeating Brlghtwood by 11
to 0 Is today causing much comment
upon the ease with which Manager Tor-
ney's team got away with the game
"While Brookland, Takoma, Silver
Springs and Brlghtwood arc again to
be heard from, many are claiming a
runaway race for the "Baby Dolls."
Justice In Selections.
Alike In other leagues, the stronger
teams are being picked for pennant pos
sibilities at the seasons start, and ba
tins slumps the selections In many cases

with the Commissioners. Navy Yard
and Sewerage Pumping Station claim

HUGE PURSE BAIT
FOR-CANADA RACE
Proposed That Ten Thousand Dol
lars Be Offered, But There
Are Drawbacks.
By HARRY WARD.
Close followers of the automobile
speed game are laughing at the efforts
of certain promoters to Dring about a
big race between Bob Burman, the
world's speed king, and Barney Old
field, holder of the title until "Wild Bill"
wrested the laurels from him about ten
days ago on the Daytona beach.
The plan is to brlrg the two drivers
together in a match race In Montreal
some time in July. The bait held out is
a purse of $10,"00, to be split on a 60 and
10 per cent basis.
As a matter of fact, Burman cannot
compete with Oldfield. for the latter is
an outlaw, and any drUer who is regis
tered with the American Automobile
Association Is barred from racing with
him for a period of two ears. This ban
holds good in the United States as well
as In all foreign countries, and the
placing of Oldfield on a Canadian track
would not change his status as an out
law. Burman is not likely to a take a
chance of defying the three A s, because
his suspension would mean the end or
his racing career.

When President E. P. Chalfant of
the Thomas Motor Car Company was
In Washington recently he was asked
what constituted the greatest thing to
give satisfaction to the automobile
owner, and he expressed It allln one
word "Service." During the reorgan

pany, particular stress has been laid
upon the service feature.
"On account of the sincere striving
to give service." said President Chal
fant. "tho motoring experiences of au
tomobile owners are becoming more
and more satisfactory. Automoblllng is
the most charming recreation on earth
when everything goes right- To keep
everything always right is the Thomas
aim, and the aim of other companies
who desire to give their customers the
very best of service. It is by all means
the big featuro of the automobtle trade
