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. The entrants In to-day's race were: Car.
