DEPALMA HINTS CAR WILL AVERAGE 149 MILES AN HOUR, —— Every One of Entrants Makes Better Than 105 Miles an Hour for To-Morrow’s Big | Auto Race at Sheepshead Bay Speedway. By Richard Freyer. HEN the word to start is given in the International Sweep- stakes for the sprint cham- Pionshtp of the world at the Gheeps- heaa Bay Speedway to-morrow after- noon, fifteen of the most renowned) @uto racing stats of America and Europe will endeavor to break all existing automobile records from one to fifty’ miles. According to the men who will pilot the cars in the race, this will be somewhat of an easy task. In the elimination trials held yesterday afternoon every one of the entrants made better than 106 miles per hour. Several of'them, including De Palma, who is America’s favorite | in the contest, Vail,and Joe Thomas reached a speed vf 115 miles. In order to qualify for to-morrow’s ovent the speed demons were required to average 103 miles per hour. Dario Resta with his “Mystery” car was the first pilot to take “the track for the trials, Ee covered, the required distance at an average of a little over 105 miles. “That's just a breeze for my car,” La) Resta, as he stopped in front of the grand stand, “She can do better than 126, but it was only becessary to make 103, Watch these other fel- lows try to beat my effort.” And Resta was correct, The other fellows, fourteen of them, went out for thetr trial spins and every one bettered the mark made by rio. ‘There weema to be sort of a jealous feeling at.the Sheepshead track. The pilot who followed Resta made 106 miles, The folowing man turned in with 106 and a fraction, and each succeeding pilot bettered the mark of the preceding driver, De Palma, in his powerful Packard, was the last speed demon to make the rounds and he averaged 119 miles, As the American driver atepped from his machine I asked him what he thought of his chances for to- morrow’s face. “Well,” answered De Pakma, “this here car t@ credited with making 149 miles an hour, See you later.” phan saying much, but meaning a reat deal, eT About 2,000 people were scattered throughout the spacious grand stand watching the men no throug their grind, ond as the ‘ume for each tral ‘was announced the spectators were liberal tn thelr app! .

I. Ross's extensive string. Billy finished fifth. Purchase won in such impressive fashion that he_is already es a forth as rival of Sir m for the iree- year-old honors of the season. Purchase didn’t have any such easy time in scoring hig victory as Bir Barton has had in his winning races this year, yet his manner of anifexing the Southampton stamps him as a horse which can win when racing luck isn’t entirely running his way, Purchase might have been beaten suffered little in repu- tation becai in the running of the race he was at many disadvantages, To begin with he was pinched off and knocked out of his position at the first turn. Thereafter he had to race on the outside of horses to keep within striking distance of the early leaders,,, He had no opportunity to Save ground at any stage. On the contrary he had to Jose ground. In the run to the gtretch ft was the hope of his backers that with Yurucarl ant Rodgers and Billy Kelly racine in front of him a ground-saving open- ing might be provided for him, ‘There was no such luck. To keep up Lyke had to stay where he was and depend on a run through the stretch, At the home turn Pur~ chase moved up to the leaders and so did Billy Kelly, z., that when they all swung around y were almost abreast, but with Purchase on the outside. It was at this point that Billy Kelly suffered from some bad luck, Whetber or, not he had, speed enough to, continue, or whether the 129 pounds he was shouldering bad bt jn to tell isn't known, but at any he seemed to be squeezed back Out of contention and into @ pocket from which he couldn't get out.
