IN AUTO RACE
AT FAIRBANKS
(From Fairbanks Citizen)
Differences in opinion produce auto
races as well as horse races, cock
fights and other sports too numerous
to mention. Such a difference brought
about a race last night at Exposition
park between Bob Sommers, territo
rial mine inspector and labor commis
sioner, and one Thomas A. Marquam,
attorney at law.
The difference arises from the fact
that Bob believes that he can beat
Tom in any old race just as long as
his machine functions properly, and
Tom is equally confident that any time
he runs against Bob the latter is go-;
ing to take second money. This state
of mind has prevailed for at least
two years, in fact since the race bug
hit the Interior.
Most Fairbanksans remember the
race between these two men at Ex
position park on Labor day, 1917, when
Bob, in the lead, responded to a flag
and stopped his machine, thinking that
the race was won. After he discov
ered his mistake he took up the race
again, but was unable to overtake his
opponent.
Since that time there hasn’t been
an opportunity to try conclusions until
last night. The principals have been
ribbing up the contest since Mr. Som
mers arrived, last Saturday night, and
securing George Hainzinger’s car yes
terday evening. Bob tried his luck
again.
The race was for ten miles, twenty
laps around the track. Mr. Marquam
won, his time being 23 minutes 33 1-5
seconds. Bob’s time was 23 minutes
52 2-5 seconds. Charles Thompson
was official timekeeper. Although run
without notice, about fifty people were
in the grandstand to Avatch the event.
Bob took the lead in the second lap
and held it until about three-quarters
of the race Avas run. His machine
tightened up at that time and Mr. Mar
f quam drew into the lead and Avas
never headed.
The result of the race leaves each
man still convinced that he is the
better race driver of the tAvo. So they
are going to try it again, and if pos
sible Avith stripped cars. The next
race avi 11 be held Sunday afternoon
at the park. A ball game is scheduled
at 2:30 p. m. Sunday for the benefit of
the Memorial Gymnasium fund, and
after the game the race will take
place. Details of the latter will be
announced later, including cars to be
used, timekeepers and other race of
ficials.

YOKAHAMA, June 29 (by mail).—
Prices of all grades of raw silk, which
dropped disastrously with the begin
ning of the war, have since mounted
far above the high tide of the last ten
years. Japan exported $190,000,000
wmrth of raw silk last year, it was an
nounced.
LONDON, June 29 (by mail).—The
president of the Board of Trade has
recommended to King George that a
silver md'dal be awarded to Lieutenant
Ross P. Whitmarsh of the United
States navy for gallantry in life-sav
ing when the British steamer Dwinsk
was sunk by an enemy submarine in
the Atlantic ocean about a year ago.
Lieutenant Whitmarsh was in
charge of a lifeboat in which nineteen
British subjects took refuge. The
boat encountered a cyclone, but the
lieutenant brought her through it
safely and the record states that his
bravery and devotion saved the lives
of all.
