MILES 111
Joe Dawson Pushes Winner Hard
Greater Part of Long Elgin
Road Contest. 4]
ELGIN, ILL., Aug. 29.—Ralph De-
Palma, daring Italian race driver,
dodging the “Jinx” that has camped
on his trail, won first honors to-day
at the Elgin races, winning the 301-
mile race for the Chicago Automobile
Trophy, more commonly known as the
Cobe Cup.
DePalma’s average time was 66.08
miles per hour. TIs time was 271:56
for the distance, 301 miles 440 feet.
After DePalma had crossed the tape
Endlcott’s Nyberg caught Ire In the
back stretch. The car was wrecked.
Reports received at the Judges’ stand
said that Jarris McNamara, Endi-
cott’s mechanician, was severely hurt
In a gasoline ♦ xplosion, and that the
driver himself was burned.
Dawson finished sec nd while the
smoke from Endlcott’s burning car
could be seen rising from 9 atlon two,
where It had been pushed from the
track. Dawso.i’s time was 279:52:75.
Driving a consistent race, DePalma
sent his big Mercer to the front well
in the beginning of the race. The
course was rough and slow and the
drivers exercised more caution than
Is usual In such events. DePalma
drove a perfect race. He lost little
time at the pits and Kept the ad
vantage he gained earlier in the race,
pulling further and further away
from Dawson, whose Deltal at first
nosed DePPalma’s Mercer as they
tore round the course. DePalma was
a full lap to the good at the finish.
Chandler, In a Mason, finished
third., his time being 302:30.
Rlckenbacher was the only contest
ant left. He did not fln.sh, the race
being officially declared over when
Chandler crossed the tape.
Endlcott and his mechanician, Mc
Namara, wore sent to the hospital,
where they were given treatment for
their burns. Both were reported se
riously hurt.
Ralph DePalma was at the wheel
of the Mercer, which was entered as
Ed Pullen's mount. The noted Italian
driver at first declined to enter to
day’s race, electing to save his ener
gies for to-morrow’s race when he
will defend the Elgin cup, which ne
won last year. The announcement
that DePalma would drive was greet
ed by thunderous applause from th®
stands. He was an equal favorite
with Dawson.
At the eleventh hour Harry Endl
cott was permitted to enter the race
with his Nyberg car. The A. A. A.
had barred cars of the Nyberg make
from sanctioned meets without giv
ing a reason. Endicott and his broth
er, "Bill” Endlcott, who will drive in
to-morrow's races, showed papers
proving that they owned the Nyberg
racers as Individuals. The car name
entered to-day was changed on the
program to “Endlcott Special.”
DePalma gave the crowd near the
first curve a thrill on his first lap
when his machine missed by Inches a
gate that stood open. The Italian
race pilot has said that he always
enters a race expecting to have thres
narrow escapes.
Course Dangerous in Spots.
The course on the back stretch was
rough and dangerous spots appeared
after the cars made their first lap.
The timers announced Dawson's
first lap was made in 6:25, which
was 20 seconds under the fastest lap
ever made on the Elgin course.
