TWO POPES ENTER FOR PRESCOTT SPEEDWAY

"Wild Bill" Tremaine to Drive One and Dr. Redewill the Other.

PHOENIX, June 26.-That the 88-mile automobile race around the famous Prescott Loop on July 3, the date of the Frontier day celebration at the Mile High city, is going to be one long round of speed and excitement was made certain here when two of Arizona's greatest race drivers made it known they would enter. William D. Tremaine, who drives races in such a mad manner that he has earned the unasked, but not unappreciated name of "Wild Bill" will race the Loop in his will known and well used Pope Hummer, veteran of 150,000 miles of Arizona's worst roads. Dr. F. H. Redewill, who was one of the first to let his hair blow back in an Arizona race will drive a new Pope Hartford, run less than three thousand miles.

The race will be all the more interesting for the two Phoenix entries now on the slate. An old boat versus a new one; an amateur driver against one of the best professionals. That is what the fans of Prescott and most of the rest of the State may expect on their great Fourth of July celebration.

It is not known whether or not there will be other Phoenix entries in the Prescott race. The time is yet long enough for some minds to remain unfixed. There are other cars and other drivers in Phoenix that would compete in the class of the entries so far recorded, and perhaps the Capital city, which is to supply so many for the Prescott crowd, will also put a good share of the cars in the competition.

Tremaine's Old Pope is famous in the southwest on more than one score. For one thing, it was one of the first cars to race in any event in this State, and for another it made the unbeaten record of 62 miles in 1:16 from Los Angeles to San Bernadino in the 1910 edition of the Los Angeles to Phoenix road race.
