JUNIOR T.T. RACE.
RECORD ESTABLISHED. (Received 2 p.m.) RUGBY, June IS. The Junior International Tourist Trophy race, over 264 miles, on the Isle of Man, was won by F. L. Frith, driving a Norton, in 3 hours 17 minutes 6 seconds, with an- average speed of 80.14 miles an hour. White, on another Norton, was second, at an average speed of 77.97; E. A. Mellers, on a Velocette, third, the average speed being 77.91. James Guthrie, winner for the last two years, was disqualified after leading for four laps, and broke his own lap record of 80.11 miles an hour, which was also beaten by Frith, who set a new lap record of 81.94 miles an hour. Frith's winning total time broke Guthrie's previous record by 2 minutes 28 seconds. A later cable message stated that Guthrie's disqualification was cancelled after hearing evidence. The value of the second prize, £70, which he would probably have won, was awarded to Norton's, who win the team prize.
