MISS ROSENTHAL LOSES GOLF MATCH TO MRS. BARLOW

HERE'S THE GREATEST"

Biggest Crowd in History of Speedway to See Famous Drivers Perform.

With good weather prevailing. It Is predicted the Maywood speedway today will see the biggest crowd in its history, for the program Is practically an all-day fair, with two big automobile races, a sham battle, aeroplane exhibitions and other matters that are designed to interest a variety of minds. The 250-mile race for professionals will see in the neighborhood of twentyeight starters, although there were thirty-five entries' on the list. So far twenty-five have qualified and two or three others are to make their trials this morning. Yesterday was devoted more to tuning up "the mounts than to mere practice work, although most of the drivers were out for a little work out in the afternoon after the sun had driven the clouds away. Just one thrill came during the afternoon, when Louis Chevrolet's car took fire as it passed the pits and was enveloped in flames. Chevorlet, old in the game, lost none of his presence of mind, and stopped the car on the south turn, where he and his mechanic put out the fire by throwing sand on it. Outside of coirhing the paint on the body no damage was done, and the car will be ready to start this afternoon.

With Waddell it was more of a joke than anything else, but his record is so r.ne his ability too pronounced to be left out'of a line or hurlers who have flashed a wonderful lot of stuff. Its hardly fair to say that Babe Ruth is the game's greatest left-hander now. ond it is equally unfair to say that Ferdie Schuppof the Giants is
