CHAPTER XII--FACING AN EMERGENCY

"Bad habit to go to bed on an empty stomach." Teddy Tucker
discovers a rival on a side track. "Here's trouble right from
the start!" The new car manager gets into rapid-fire action.
"We must beat the 'opposition.' Now, boys, it's up to you!"
The mine is laid.

CHAPTER XIII--A BAFFLED CAR MANAGER

"That fellow is playing a sharp trick." Phil breakfasts with his
rival and extracts information from him. "You ain't half as big
a fool as you look, are you?" Bob Tripp gets a great shock.
Farmers guard Phil Forrest's posters with shot guns.

CHAPTER XIV--TEDDY WRITES A LETTER

Circus Boys steal a second march on the "opposition."
Teddy Tucker whoops for joy. The new press agent begins work.
"Spotted Horse" has too many fingers for typing. A suggestion
for billposters. Circus Boys strike hard blows.

CHAPTER XV--IN AN EXCITING RACE

All surrounded in Kansas. Three "opposition" cars
discovered in the same yard with Phil Forrest. A race for
the country. Paste cans dance a jig. Rivals turned over
into a ditch. A case of give and take.
