Hughey Hughes Sends Mer

cer First Over Line for Aurora Cup; Harry Endicott Easily Wins Jencks Prize at Elgin.

Elgin, 111., Aug. 31. Lovers of speed for speed's sake rather than for the

thrill of accident and misfortune, were given a pleasant holiday yesterday at the Elgin automobile race course, the occasion being the opening day of the third annual two-day meeting. Three races were conducted simultaneously over the eight-mile course without a

serious accident, marring the pleasure

of the day, as far as the course was concerned. The lack of accidents caused many old-time race goers to regard the contests as tame, but when the times of the winners were announced it was discovered that all records for. simi

lar classes of cars had been broken at Elgin. The most sensational feature of the speeding was that of the two Stuti cars, driven by Merz and Anderson. Mer won the race at an average pace almost equally that of Zengle's last year In the Elgin trophy contest, which is for higher powered cars. In the Elgin cup race today it "is expected that an average of at leaet sixty-eight miles an hour will be maintained for the 250 miles. Anderson, in the other Btuts. was less than two minutes behind his team mate. As predicted last night the race for the Illinois cup became a duel between the two gtutz cars, as the remaining contestants in that class failed to finish.

GOLF TITLE GOES TO HIISS PAINTER

It takes nerve to win a, championship, and Miss Caroline Painter of the Midlothian Country club displayed a lot of It yesterday when she defeated Miss Ruth Chisholm of Cleveland 1 up in the final for the women's western title at the Hinsdale Golf club. In addition to wfhning the title for the second time in succession Miss Painter preserved Chicago's clean record in the annual' competition for the

W. A. Alexander trophy, which has remained in the Chicago district ever since it was put in competition ten years ago. Our golfing sister are keeping pace with their golfing brothers, who for fourteen years have monopolized the western amateur championship. The final was well fought and replete with Interest, as both contestants made several fine recoveries and there were enough nps and downs to keep the gallery on edge until Miss Painter ran down a seven-foot putt on the home green and secured a half which clinched the match and the title.

ATTELL READY

FOR BATTLE New York. Aug, Abe AtteH, former featherweight champion, has advised his New York manager that he Is ready to leave the PaclnTf coast for this city. Arrangements are being made for a ten-round bout " between Attell and some local lightweight in Madison Square Garden early next' month. This will be Abe's first appearance in this state since he was suspended by the boxing commission for six months last February for his much talked of boat with "Knockout" Brown. V

Try a LaVendor cigar. It's good!

It was predicted that Merc would be returned, a winner and likewise suggested that Hughes would win the Aurora cup with his Mercer, and that Endlcott would win the Jencks trophy with his Mason. This forecast was fulfilled to the letter on the track yesterday. Hughes' Mercer worked like a watch, and he had a margin of six minutes on his team mate, Pullen, whose Mercer ran second. Trussell's Falcar took third place in this race, followed by Roberts In a Mason and another Falcar, driven by Hastings. The fact that all but one entry finished in the Aurora cup race made It the most satisfactory race of the day. Harry Endlcott won the small oar race handily, averaging better than -a mile a mlnutra for the 101 miles, a remarkable ; pace for cars of the type and clascs. No competitor finished in that class.

MAJOR LEAGUE STANDINGS

AMERICA?! LEAGIE.

By means of strategy, daring and a couple of long base hits the Cubs were barely able to nose out another victory over the Cardinals yesterday afternoon at the west side park. The score this time was 6 to 4, and while the combat was taking place Brooklyn did the unexpected by trimming the Giants, so the Cubs gained a full 4me on their rivals, the distance to the top now being only four games. - Strong and sturdy pitching by Larry Cheney, alert base running by Saier and Evers, and two fence-busting drives, one a three-bagger by Saier and the other a home run by Frank

The trade by which he srot Leach

chancre for Hofman and "King" Cole

was a good one, as results have prov

ed. Chance wanted men with plenty of backbone and grit to make the long stern chase which the Giants' early lead presented to the other clubs. In

Tommy Leach he has a man who doesn't know what it is to give up or

to be afraid of anything.

When I was playing with Chicago

Leach was the third baseman of the Pittsburg team. He isn't more than

medium sie, but It didn't matter whether I went spikes first or any other way. Leach was always there to block me If he could. He would take any kind of a chance to put the ball on a runner. Leifleld is another man

By Bill Lans-e. San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 31. It looks to me as If Chicago was going to vwln the Jatlonal league pennant. They have cut down a long lead held by New York until now only four games separate the leaders from their determined opponents. I like Chance's team, because I think Frank is one of the greatest leaders that ever handled a baseball

Are You Weighted Down?

With the result of your youthful fol

lies and later excesses? Is there a

lack of energy and ambition? Are you

gloomy, petulant, despondent?

Don't Lose Your Grip. Don't allow the fresh young strength

to go out of your life.

If you are losing the strength of youth and can see evidence trom day

to day that your physical system is

going to decay, you should in common justice to your future happiness take steps to arrest the progress of your affliction. - Don't make the mistake In thinking this can't be done; it can and has been done in thousands of cases. Don't deceive yourself into believing that It is natural for any person to thus exhaust his power. Nature is appealing to you every moment to save yourself. The slight pains you feel, the momentary spells

of weakness, the periodical loss of memory, dullness of brain, drowsiness

all point to the necessity of curing yourself. I have a positive cure await
