EL PASO HERALD 8 Mondav, May 26, 1913 Four Teams In the New Copper League BO WIN EVENT IN THE JUAREZ Over 50CO People Witness the Races at the Jockey Club Track Sunday Ho Serious Accidents Mar the Day. Kfty-mile Race the Biggest Event and Closest Contested, but Packard Is an Easy Winner. ALTOITIS the buzz wagon bug struck El' Paso In a vital place Sunday There were more than 5000 people in attendance at the this spi ing'o second automobile race, and the crowd was a representative one. a perfect da, a flawless series of contests and fair handling the management made the Sunday races a complete success Given in Mexico the races were promoted by El Paso men, local business men acted as judges and, other officials of the coarse and the croud was a typical El Paso one v. ith a sprinkling of Juarez social and military life in the boxes at the Juarez i ace track.

Not an accident marred the event. A Packard "30" won the big event of the dav. which was the 60 mile race i or $50 It was driven by Johnnie Hutchins. who covered the 44 laps around the mile and an eighth track like a veteran racing driver -and got all the speed stuff out of the big Packard that was in it. Th.s race was between Billy Adolph, driving his famous StUde-baker, Betsy," and Johnny Hutchins in the Packard car Adolph was the favorite as a driver, but Hutchins had the speediest car, as was demonstrated on the straightaway when he would walk away from Adolph and Betsy, only to be i oh ded close at the turns, when Adolph.

Hutchins finished better than a lap ahead of Adolph, whom he lapped in the 27th time around. Adolph made a mad effort to overtake him in the linal four laps and was nipping the Packard hels as the last but one lap was reeled off around the race track VRed" McDonald, in his red Knox car, was expected to do wonders in this race, but the old boat had to stop twice for attention. The Knox as not stripped and this added a handicap to the red haired driver, who made a same fight to get inside the money, but final! gave up the chase and quit. ome Hard Lock.

Four "for hire" cars took on four passengers each and started around the track at.a nice, easy, county road lope. At the finish of the first lap the passengers were to alight and be picked up again at the conclusion of the second lap It was the. old story of the irresistible force meeting an immovable body and the passengers rolled in seven directions in alighting from the moving cars. None were hurt and they got a big laugh from the crowd This was the only pretense of an ac- cident at the track. Jack Forrest won in a Chalmers 40.

Billy Adolph added another to Betsy's string by winning this race from the Packard, Ford. an-1 Hupmobile.

No Accident. Without a single accident, -with no trouble except that started by some Mexican policemen who tried to arrest an American track officer, and did it, the races were staged in splendid form by manager Lew Gasser, who is due to receive the credit for the success of the meeting. There was a bit of confusion among the officials who did not understand their duties, but Lew-straightened this all out and the races were satisfactpry in every way. The Kaee Open.
