THE WEATHER.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Sept.
6. Otto Loesche and Al M. Cline won
first and second places in the free-
for-all hill climb to the summit ofj
Pike s Peak this afternoon In a blind
ing snow and bail storm, facing a
bitter wind.
William Bentrup won the small car
race and Davis Lewis was second.
Loesche not only won the Penrose
trophy and a $500 prize, but also a
$500 prize for the big car event and
in addition he set the best time for
the day's driving, which was 22:25 2-5,
compared to Raich Mulford's time in
1916 of 18 minutes and 24 seconds.
Ralph Mulford, picked by many to
win because of his record here four
years ago, abandoned the race Just
about the 14-mile point because of
blinding snow, although two other
cars had preceded him into the storm.
A heavy snow fall blinded the
drivers near the final stretch, while
the roads were slippery and wet.
Goggles stuck to their faces and had
to be tossed aside. Curves were taken
with reckless abandonment, but there
were no serious accidents.
E. J. Beatty was unable to finish
the race when a tire blew out.
