W orld's Road Racing Record Is
Expected to Be
Broken.
CLASSIC VANDERBILT RACE
Speed of Seventy-five Miles an
Hour Will Be Necessary
to Win.
Savannah, November 5.?Four great
races on the most wonderful road
course In the world are In Store for
those who will visit .Savannah. Ga.,
November 27-30. The meet, under Sa?
vannah Automobile Club auspices,
doubtless will go down In history us
the most sensational of all speed car?
nivals here or abroad.
Announcement has been made that
Ralph Do Palma will have one of tho
ninety-horsepower Mercedes mounts,
and Spencor 13, Wishart. tho other.
The border Company w Irl outer four
,-ars?a pair m both Vanderbllt and
Griihd Prize, with Mulford and Grant
piloting. Six Flats, said lo be the
fastest that ever left the Turin. Italy,
factory, will compete. Three Bonz.
with Speed King Rurman. the world
famous Memory and Hearne driving,
are entered. Dlsbrow will have the
Pope ??Hummer." with which he brokn
f-o many world's straightaway records
last winter. This is to be entered In
ti-.r Vanderbllt only
Additional entries to the already
long list are being lined up by Siartoi
Fred J. Wugncr almost daily, and It
Is safe to predict that between seven?
ty-five and one hundred starters will i
tight It out on the dates mentioned. !
While the ceneral public knows that |
there will be road racing at Savan?
nah within a few weeks. probably
comparatively few fully realize what
a monster meet It will be. There Is
that famous national classic?the Van?
derbllt Cup?to be run on Southern
soil. Eight years ago this event had
lt? Inception?the birth of American
fiUtor.noblle racing?and six great
struggles for the prize have been held
on Eong island. Unquestionably it
Is the best known speed event in the
world.
On November 27, the same day as
the Vandcrbilt, the fourth Savannah
challenge trophy race. a 221-mllo
event, will be run?cars of 231-300
cubic Inches competing in this. Like?
wise the battli ot lightweights, 101-130
Inch class, for the Tldeman trophy, of?
fered by Mayor Tldeman, of Savannah.
Incidentally, if any persons are under
the Impression that these light cat
races do not produce some sizzling
speed and keen competition they are (
misinformed.
Of course, tin- piece de resistance is
Ihe thrilling International Grand Prise
event. Thanksgiving Pay in this 10S
mlle battle of the fastest Speed crea?
tions on earth. American drivers, with
American cars, will match their skill
against tiie foreigners and endeavor to
bring Hi. gold cup back to these
shores ami incidentally win n princely
amount of gold dollars.
There have been two Grand Prize
races?the first In 190S, won by EoulS
Wagner, in a Flat, and the second,
last seunoii. captured by DaivId Bruce
brown In a Benz?two of the most
if not toe most phenomenal races ever
run. Tn? International event, as Is
w,-ll known. Is sanctioned by the Au- ,
tomobtle Club of America, whereas the
national .vents, including the Van?
derbllt; are sanctioned by the Amer?
ican Automobile Association.
It Is practically assured that Die
world' road race record will be
broken. Inasmuch as the course has
been reconstructed and greatly Im?
proved, and the sharp turns eliminated,
Rxperts predict that the winner of
Die Grand Prize will be forced to over?
age seventy-five miles an hour for
the entire distance, for the pare for'
by the speedier pilots win be tor;
rifle.
The Flat team sailed from New York
for Savannah Saturday mornlnu. No?
vember 4, on the City of St Louis, of
the Savahnah?*ifive. JXMabrow savs ho
will sail ..Incut*1 lie latter part of the
week with the "Hummer." Others will
follow about thnt time.
On th. bonaflde paid entry list at
present are the following cars:

Marmon, two Mercer.
Tldeman?two Abbott, three EJ, M.
Numerous oth?r tentative entries are
on tap. about which there Is no doubt
of starting, but which cannot be offi?
cially entered until cheeks have reach?
ed the treasurer of the Savannah Au?
to nobile Club. Foreign entries have
to come through the recognized au?
tomobile club In the country from
Wl ich the entry comes, and this causes
?ome delay.

election.
Other matters to be considered will '

VIRGINIA VARSITY
N0TYEI8FLECTED
Coaches Experiment With Men
Who May Face George- i
town. j
Churlottesvllle, Va., November 5.? 1
That the team that will face George?
town In the crucial game on Virginia's
schedule next week has yet to play to?
gether, is the opinion of the majority
<>!' those who witnessed yesterday's
game, in which the home team won
from Wake Forest by 29 to 6. It was
j evident that toe coaches were doing
considerable experimenting, and a tium- i
I ber of those who hud been counted on J
I us candiuaics lor varsity positions.
i w.i r< uttorded a Una) ohahc* to shine.
\\ Ith lour regulars out ut ihe game,
the coaches nuu au excellent bppor
: tunny to act a line on reserve mate- 1
; rial, and mis they oia ucyona <iues
tion.
Juck Jones, last year's varsity halt
back, was given nis tust chanue ot tue ;
ytiur to pluy in a regular game. When
n> Itson ivus injured in Hie opening hail,
Jones was sent lo the rescue, ami,
judging troll Hie way he played, knew
lull we.I thut on his showing rested
ins chances to retain the position. It
now looks like Wililay aim Jones tor
im ?-ei positions, aitnougii Wilson may
:... over troin his injury in tune to ue
I prlvd the latter ot a regulur berth.
Woollolk, wao was out ot the game
yesterauy on account of injuries, aas
practically clinched his position at
i tackle. Jack Wellford, of last year's
I scrub team, und Davidson, lb,' former
i' me -->cnool captain, will be left to
; tighl for the other tackle, with chances
I favoring the latter. Carter and .lett
jure llxtures as guards, as is Captain
i \vo,ei ,,t centre, i nese men are consid?
ered the real cream of the talent on
' hand, and in their ability to play up to '
the standurd set thus tar rests a goo.l
Ij ?aar? oi Virginia's chances in tliu
I Otis game.
As to the bncknold, it will undoubt?
edly remain unchanged. Cooke. the
former An.lover player, may be given
the preference over Goodhtie ut full?
back, but this Is problematical, as the
latter has been depended on to do Ihe

WILL ATHLETICS WIN
ANOTHER PENNANT?
Believed to Be Little Cnance of Any Cther Team
in the American Lei gue Heading Off Pre?

Tho American League pennant lor
li?12 is already won, according to j
general opinion, and It must bo con?
fessed thut Just now there la little ]
likelihood of uny club taking tho j
< haniploashlp away from the Athletics.
The only way they can do It Is for tho
champions to meet with some un
lcoked for and unlikely sotback ?.r ]
for tho other clubs to bo madu coiiHld

I ones that loom up at all. Marry Davis
may take up with the Clevelands
where they left off in 1911 and bring
tbom Into further prominence, but
there Isn't u club which on present
prospects looks able to seriously
j threaten tho world's champions.
There Isn't enough age on the
' Athletic team for the danger of going
buck to be great and the main ques?
tion Is Whether the other teams cun bo
j brought up near enough to a level
I with the Athletics to make the race
I for llrat place close. It Isn't on lin
I possible or a hopeless task, although
1 It doesn't look as If the Detroits could
