American track record were kicked into the discard yesterday afternoon when Lewis Strang, driving his Bulck "Blue Streak" captured the 100-mile race for the G. & J. trophy in 1:32:48 5-10. The event which marked the final struggle of the day on the new motor speedway was a walkaway for the hero of Savannah, Lowell and Briarcliff road grinds, and at the finish he was clinging easily to a lead of over ten miles. By winning in this remarkable time Strang established an average of over sixty miles an hour, breaking records that hitherto had stood like adamant. Strang's long enduring hoodoo vanished yesterday and the great pilot handled his machine In that style for which he became famous on two continents during the seasons of 1907 and 1908. He never even hesitated during the contest. His team-mate, George De Witt, also driving a Buick, ran second, with Stillman in a Marmon, third. Seven cars started for this event, including Marions, driven by Monsen and Stutz; Marmons, with Stillman and Harron up, and the Bulcks, handled by Chevrolet, Strang and De Witt. Burman, winner of the 250-mile race, in which Bourque and Holcombe lost the?i lives, failed to appear, though nomi 0 SHOOTING LOWELL TOURH (Special to The Times.) Lowell, Ind., Aug. 21. The shooting tournament that occurred at Lowell yesterday was largely attended, there being about thirty contestants. There were about six thousand targets thrown. The high professional average was won by Ward Burton of Chicago, and the high amateur average was won by Jesse Young of Chicago, the former missing twenty out of two hundred and twenty-five shot at, and the latter only missed eight out of two hundred and twenty-five. .The county team shoot that was to have been held in connection with yesterday's shoot was called off on account of two of Hammond's team not being able to be present. The next or second county team shoot will be held in Hammond Sept. 6, and the third, the date of which is not announced, will be held in Lowell. Following is the official score of yesterday's event: Contestants. Ward Burton. K. S. Graham. Shot at.

For the eighth time this year on the South End grounds, the doves went against Frank Chance's champions yesterday, and as usual the cubs were returned winners. It was a game that the home team well might have won, if they had played as they a:a inursaay against uroomyn. ior baseball far short of championship caliber took the game for the cubs, 5 to 3, Boston failing to play ball after once having tied the score. 2 to 2. Harry fcnuth sent Jirown alter the j game, while the Peerless Leader chose Kroh, his lofty left-hander. Neither pitcher allowed much bunching of hits, for the flften hits of the ay were scattered through twelve battling innings. Eight hits were made off Brown, while Boston hit Kroh safely seven times; but five of the cubs' hits figured in the run-getting, while only two of Boston's did any damage The world's champions presented their regulation front with Kvers back at second base, and after their long trip on the road they were lucky to find Boston not on edge to meet them. Things broke luckily for Chicago also. I for three times, with a man on second and none out for the doves, the next batter hit Into a double play. After the score was 4 to 2 in the fifth, Boston went after hard hits and runs In bunches, and the failure to sacrifice passed up a chance to scot.-, twice, and j these runs, if Boston had them, would have meant a 5 to 5 score when Bill Dahlen put the ball onto the railroad tracks for a home run In the ninth inning.

nated. The Flint demon lounged about the camp nursing a lame back, the result of the Incessant pounding over the course In Thursday's battle of the cyl

inders. The start saw Strang off In the lead, holding the pole, and on the first lap the young whirlwind proceeded to clamp down a comfortable margin. Chevrolet fought his way to second place, and for a time threatened to dis place his team-mate, while the Mar mon drivers, running close behind. forced the Bulcks to their utmost. Clockers caught Strang's time for twenty miles at 18:41 7-10, a new recor. At the end of the twenty-fifth mile the "blue streak" showed a record of 23:20 1-10. Another American mark went a-gllmmerlng when at the end of the fiftieth mile Strang's time was 46:04 6-10. At this point he had a lead of over two laps on De Witt, hjs nearest competitor. Dashing into the seventieth mile, Strang clocked 1:04:55. From this point to the finish victory was assured for the Intrepid pilot. When it was all over he wheeled his smoking monster Into the paddock and alighted to kiss his wife, who stood loyally by and rooted for her champion from the repair pits throughout the long struggle. Strang's achievement was by no means the only thriller on the bill. To many of the 15,000 spectators assembled within the vast speedway the tenmile free-for-all won by Zengle In the Chadwlck was the original hair-raising performance of the afternoon. In this race the star of the Algonquin hill climb averaged over 78 miles an hour, traveling at a faster clip than had ever before been maintained on any race course in America. The great "six" literally flashed through space, doing the distance in 8:23 2-5. Oldfield, in the Benz, Henia In the Lozler, Altken in the National and Ford In the Stearns all had to eat the dust of the eastern crack, who drove like a madman.

MAY RESUME RACING IN SOUTH New Orleans. Aug. 21. What several weeks ago appeared to be an incipient effort towards the re-establishment of horse racing in Louisiana has now been erystalized into an organized movement to bring the question of race track betting up before the legislature next spring. Both City Park and the fair grounds race tracks here are being kept in condition and have not been turned into building lots, as was once reported. 'Aiis seems to add strength to the current belief that a. vigorous effort will be made for the revival of racing in this city. BAD WEATHER AT CAMP PERRY Camp Perry, Ohio, Aug. 21. The forty-nine service and national guard rifle teams who are assembled on the Ohio range to fight the seventh annual battle for the national trophy spent the first two days of preliminary firing on me -tnj-yaru range at slow and rapid fire and on the 800-yard targets slow fire. The poor conditions with which the day opened improved but little as the firing progressed. The wind kept gaining in speed and in jerkiness, and yesterday afternoon the variable light dimmed the long-range targets. General Fred I). Grant, who arrived at the range yesterday left in the afternoon by automobile to spend the night as the guest of Colonel Webb Hayes at Fremont and then go to Co lumbus today.

PI TO Malachy Hogan. dean of the boxing referees, was given the most successful testimonial in Chicago's history at the South Side ball park yesterday afternoon. Many representative sportsmen pronounced it as the .greatest ever held In the country. Upward of five thousand passed through the turnstile, jammed the grand stand and comfortably filled the third base pavilion. Three ball games were offered on the program, two of them genuine and the other a take-off. It was a great outpouring which paid tribute to the veteran referee and when Ilogan appeared in front of the assemblage to bow his appreciation, the stands rocked with applause. One of the features of the day was the one-inning farce between chorus girls of the "Beauty Spot-' company and a bunch of newspaper men. The girls won by 3 to 2. the runs counting on a home run back of the catcher. Miss Marie Baxter electrified the crowd by making two bases on a foul ball. In the other battles the Logan Squares efeated the Rogers Parks 2 to 1 in a six-Innin gtilt and the Cuban Stars walloped the Leland Giants, 9 to 3, in eight stanzas. The game was called to let the giants catch a toat for Mil waukee. Although the receipts have not been counted to date, Ilogan will be the gainer by a good round sum. In addition to the tickets sold at the gate, numbers of prominent sporting men maile in their personal checks. Presient Comiskey of the sox. In addition to giving the use of his park, presented a check for $100. President Charles Murphy of the cubs also sent in a large sized check.

The length of the program precluded the wrestling bouts, although several mat artists showed up for the events. A race between the girls wno played ball was interesting as long as it lasted. Weather and verything else was perfect for the benefit. The sky was clear, Jimmy Ryan of the Rogers Parks saying that a ball looked like a pea in midair. But Jimmy isn't used to playing in big league parks of late years. The ex-cub star played against Jimmy Callahan, former pitcher for the Sox.

St. Paul claimed Wausau was acting for the Saints in selling Miller to Toledo for $600, but Miller did not go to Toledo, that deal being set aside when St. Paul drafted him.
