NINE CARS MAKE PERFECT SCORES Special Meeting of Motor Club Officials Called to Decide Upon Awards R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU The reliability run of the San Fran cisco motor club to Tahoe tavern and return came to a successful close yes terday afternoon when the contestants boarded the 4 p. m. creek boat from Oakland for the citjr. After the ecore had been canvassed by the committee which had charge of the event it was officially announced that nine of the contestants had made perfect scores, and that the chairman of the committee would notify the owners of the win ning cars of the time and place of the nieeting: to decide upon the winner of the Nelson cup. Those who were awarded perfect scores were: Knox, Cartercar, Crawford, Wir.ton. Rjunbler. two Bulcks, Ford and ilaxwell. The last day of the run was an ex citing one for the contestants, as the rain was not counted upon when the event began. Most of the cars were not supplied with nonskid devices and the drivers had to be mere than care ful, for a bad skid meant the loss of a perfect score. They all managed to gret through in fine shape, except C. A. Hawkins, Pacific coast manager of the "White company, who was driving a White gas car. He left Sacramento with a perfect score and was getting along nicely on the slippery road when he ran into a bad stretch about eight Jniles the other side of Livermore. The car bejran to skid and there was no stopping it until it went into the ditch. In the skid one of the steering knuckles ->vas Injured, so that Hawkins was un able to proceed. But for this mishap there would have been 10 perfect scores. The fact that so many made perfect scores would indicate that the run was an easy one. This was not the case as any ore who has been over the road «an tpeiify. It is easy when the cars <an tak<» their time in going over the mountains, but when the cars have to be forced it is a big strain on the ma < hine and drivers. Tlie Crawford car made a splendid f-howing. It was the first to arrive out side of most of the controls. The con fist^nt running of the car showed its ability for just such hard work that this run demanded. . The little Winton Six won out hand i'y. It was about the longest "wheel lased car In the contest, and the way -t was able to take all the turns on the mountain proved its adaptability for mountain climbing. The friction drive Cartercar! made a hft by the way it went over the steep pmde. Some of the motorists have he^n skeptical about the car's ability to take the hard grades of»the moun tains, but after the run they were all load in their praise of the car, which carried its full complement of pas- frr ; ger.s the whole irip. \u25a0 The pets of thd run -were the two little B'jicks. These little wonders won th% admiration of every one. It was a most interesting sight when Frank Murray brought his car up the heavy prade at the Summit. Whin the Buick was sighted the motorists at the top freely offered bets as to where the midget would have to give up the struggle on the praile. But it came along without even the slightest sign of a hah a r.d' reached the top In great shape. The Ford, which was one of the offi cial car*, was 5n the running at all tiroes. Jt irade all the controls on time and had no trouble in making the T«« Rambler, the other one of the perfect score cars, made an Interesting showing frcm the fact that It was a pri vate car. George B. McCauley entered the ev^nt with a desire to Bee just what his car would do under a forced run. The car did. Its work in great shape, r.pver faltering-. The Knox had about the hardest run nf all the cars. It was the pilot car, m carrying pome of the officials and part of the press representatives. It had to rake, better than the schedule 'time, as the timers had to reach the checking points before the cars came In and had to be away first of them all. There was a hard drive at all times. The Diamond tires won a victory, as they were on the winning cars. The Michelins were on two of the winning cars. The Knox press car made its fast work on Fisk equipment. Ten of the cars in the run used Monogram oil.

H. E. BATTLING NELSON,; the greatest lightweight fighting machine that the Queensberry -game has ever produced,' is firmly convinced that he "came back" when he battered Monte Dale all around the ring in Kansas City on Monday evening. So < certain is the Battler, of his ability to keep going that he has accepted Pro moter Jim Griffin' 3 terms for a 10 or 15 round bout -with One Round Jack Hogan or Antone la Grave on the even ing of October 28. The Dane was bo anxious to get on the job here that he canceled his scheduled Chicago meeting with Ad- Wolgast and left Kansas City last night for San Francisco. Accompany ing him is Abdul the Turk, the trainer who has stuck close to the Battler since he lost his lightweight crown to "Wolgast at Richmond last Washing ton's birthday. Nelson accepted Griffin's terms last night. ; He is to receive *a fat cash guarantee,, with a privilege of a per centage. It took the prompter and the boxer several days to come ' 'to terms, principally because Nelson -was not quite^ sure of himself until he stepped into:; the ring \against -Dale. However, once, he subdued the Kansas City cyclone, the former lightweight king was confident that he, could de liver. The next thing he did was to touch the telegraph wires and accept Griffin's terms. The distance for the contest has not been definitely decided upon as yet, and jt probably will be a 15 round affair. Either Hogan or La Grave is perfectly willing to take Nelson on over the, 15 round route, - though, at first Hogan held out for 10 rounds. As Nelson al ways has favored the 1 -, Marathon . dis tance It goes without saying that "15 rounds will be more to his' liking, than 10 rounds. Griffin Intends to stage the contest either in Dreamland or the new Coli seum. He has not made up his mind "as yet. He wants as much room as possible, for this card certainly is the most attractive staged In California since the memorable one last "Washing ton's birthday, when the Dane lost the lightweight crown to Wolgast after 41 rounds of hurricane milling. "All I want is the chance,* says Ho gan. "I may as well find out now whether I am a champion or a busher. I think I can beat Nelson in a-10 or 15 round contest or else I would not be making this match. In the meantime I have to beat La Grave, so I would pre fer not to say any more till after Fri day night's affair." . • - Sam Fitzpatrick, La Grave's manager, is equally confident that his man can get away with Hogan. He Is willing and ready to sign up if things turn out the way he expects them to in the next encounter. : . LODGE 6tT£l> JOB. |«7,6oo— Seattle, Oct. ll._ Ludwod A.

SLATTERY One Round Champion To Meet Terror of Butchertown THE most important four round en gagement ever entered into by any/ pair of boxers in this city will be settled on Friday night at Dreamland. The principals will be "One Round Jack" Hogan, looked upon as California's lightweight fighter, and Antone' L.a Grave, the Butchertown slugger, regarded as the one dangerous rival for Hogan's title. The man who is returned tho winner will be pitted against Battling Nelson for the main event of Jim Griffin' 3 big show. As .the Battler- is now on his way to this city,' there is no ques tion that he means business and that the winner will have the chance of his career, a chance, which he may never get again. Although he figures a legitimate 10 to 7 shot over L,a Grave, there is every reason to believe that Hogan will have the hardest battle .of .his career when he steps into the ring against the ter ror ) from . Butchertown.V La Grave is not", only' a\ tbughT rugged mixer, but he "has, a -.certain amount, of. clever ness that has bothered every man whom he has ever met.--" .- ; , . ."•" , Although he Is a whirlwind 'performer and" Sal man /who | should be .; a ?. popular idol.'SFlogan is a • second "Jimmy Britt.
