TOURIST TROPHY.

Stanley Woods Secures Eighth Win. (Received June 24. 11.20 a.m.) LONDON, June 22. • The Senior Tourist Trophy race of 264 miles resulted: Stanley Woods (riding a Guzzi machine) 1 J. Guthrie (Norton) 2 \V. Rusk (Norton) 3 Time—3hr 7min lOsec, a record. Won by 4sec. Woods averaged 84.68 m.p.h. J. Duncan, on a Norton, was fourth. It was Woods’s eighth win in Tourist Trophy races. Woods won the race by three seconds. Guthrie was announced the winner before Woods finished, as it was not thought tftat Woods would win, even allowing for his time allowance. Woods broke the record on his last lap, at 85.6 m.p.h., and won. His machine was an Italian make, probably a twin-cylinder. Guzzi machines have been entered in the Senior T.T. for some years, but have been dogged by illluck. One finished second some years ago. but was disqualified for a technical fault. Woods previously raced on Norton machines, which this yeao* won the Teams Prize, the Manufacturers’ Prize, and the> Club’s Team Prize. They finished second, third and fourth. German machines were fifth and sixth.
