World's Best Professionals J\1 eel
in 15--Mile Event Saturday
-Vight.
NSW VORfc, Aug. 20.—Eighteen ol
the world's best professional distance
runnera are now in hard training for
the fifteen mile team race that is t*i
be held at Washington Park Saturday
afternoon. Among the eighteen ar«
"native sons." of at least seven coun
tries, including England. Ireland
Italy. Finland, Sweden, Oknada. ami
the United States. Never before ha«
such a apeedy aggregation of mercury
footed athletes been gathered In •
professional race and the nature of tlx
event will lend added interest.
A fifteen mile team race Is s positive
Innovation tn athletic contests In thti
country*. Because of the fact that th<
two runners on each team are prlvl
leeed to rrn»"“ .«■»---»■
they wlah. at the end of each) lap ll
they so desire, the race will necessarily
combine sprinting powers and endur
ance It will be the team that car
sprint the farthest that will win.
For this reason many look upor
"Jimmy" Lee. the red-haired Bostor
flyer, and hi* ltttle limbed partner*, “Al*
Raines, as the sure winners. Running
them a close second as favorites ar«
Svanberg. the tireless Swede, and
Quea). the speedy Canadian. Kolen
malnen and Netmtnen, the Finish team
will hart to be considered among th«
favorite*, as well as "Fred" Meadows,
the crack fifteen mile runner, who elec
trified the crowd In Madison Square
Garden, and hi* speedy Canadian
partner, Woods.
Among the dark horses are Sellen
and Roe, the Toronto team. Pellen la
an English runner, who affects Shrubb a
style, and he has speed to burn up to
ten miles* Sullivan and' Myers, th«
Boston tsam. are called wonders and
will cary a big roll of Beantown mon
ey. Baute and Bias!, the ' Spagheu
team, will wear the Italian .color# an.!
will recsive the majority of the I tab
apgUmir
Four more runner# win participate
In the race, but It haa not been decided
how they will teem up. Tbey an
■*Jtm" Crowley, the Irish flyer: Har
vey Cohn, "Matt" Maloney, of Mar*

The Harpoon, which is owned b)

around the principal trophy, and an

Heaver was second, and the Clma a
Graded behind.
The Chonta, however, was danger
ous at times, and at the end of the
first round of the triangular course
she was only 1 minute and 20 second!
behind the Harpoon. The race for th«
greater part of the time was a drift
ing match, although occasionally ,th4
wind came In and gave the yacht* *
decided list.
First Leg a lioach.
i The committee plan vvas to send tht
yachts over the triangular course with
, a boat to windward >.n the first leg,
i but scarcely had the boats got awaj
; when the wind hauled around and
: made the first leg a reach.
Should the ...Harpoon win to-day’i

the President Taft cup will be settled

if there Is any helpful glamour or
romance attached to the starting of
the Vanderbilt cup race at daybreak,
a* often has been asserted. It will be
demonstrated on October 1, when the
next contest fqr the famous trophy
will be hehl on the Dong Island Motor
Parkway. The promoters have decid
ed to reUirtFttf

things and start the cars on their
long whirl at break of day. The
early start, of course, requires the
spectators to move to the scene during
the night, and the moving undoubt
edly adds picturesqueness to the oc
casion.

A toteIgn authority recommends the
following methods of stopping a leak in
a cellular radiator In an emergency,
providing that the leak is not too large:
If the leak la of the pln-polrt alia, it
can be fixed anywhere along the road
by Inserting a handful or two of bran
in the radiator. It wilt be wall to look
at the pump, especially if of the gear
type, after the leak haa been stopped,
and clean out any depoait which may
have accumulated. It will then be well
to drain all the water from the radia
tor. The leak atop* because a minute
part id* of bran has become lodged
in the aperture and has expanded,
effectually closing It.
Among the aatomobllee that appear
ed on the beach at Mocllpa, near Seat
tle, Wash., at the recent outing of the
8eattle Automobile Club, wae one with
an interesting history.
It was the Stearns, owned by Thomas
Jones, a SO-horse power machine, that
probably has won more races than any
other car in the Northwest.
Shortly sfter It was built It was
run from the factory at Claveland to
Atlantic City, N. J.. where three event*
were won in the spring of 100*. Later
It was entered In the endurance run
from New York city to New Orleans,
and, after winning several* races
there, Journeyed across the continent
westward, through Texas and up te
Los Angeles.
At that place it won two round-trip
races between Lot Angeles and San
Francisco. Then the owner became
tired of racing, brought the car North
to Seattle, and sold it to Bd. Burwell,
who entered MUrf'the SO and 100- mile
events last tal” The car won both with
asset- Chades Soule* driving.
The car was purchased recently by
Jones, and dtspltrttre fact "It was
built three years ago. it fa still in
style and good rendition. Th* Stearns
factory has milder practically no changa
in the UM1 car. The builders ciaitp
they cannot make any material Im
provement in the motor or other work*

Cara of that make won Brat place in
