After elcciit years of ronsdeutlous endeavor, and the building of a near boat each of those rears. John E. Wolff, the Portland motor boat en tliualaet. with his lateet c-raff, Oregon Wolf, yesterday accomplished his am -bltion of eatabllslune; a worlds record lh a Fortland built boat, by covering a 30 mile count In the Willamette rl. r In I minute. 14 and t-i seconds. The previous record for a similar crure w aji 44 minutes. II J-S seconda, held bv the St. Lou la owned -boat. lt.m IV. TV.e perseverance of Johnnie Wolff, coupled with Ma mechanical ability, ha kept him well to the front In tne rank of the motor boat enthustaate of t!i country for a number of years, but. tint!! yeaterdav, his great ambition to make a world's mark with a boat of bl own dealKnlng. had not been fructified. He had won many racea. cups galore and plenty of glory In the motor boat fame, but yeeterday was his greatest trl-irnph elnce he entered the motor g.nie. Boat Dalit la I'rlaad. The Ore con Wolf la a I'ortland built boat. and. while- the 1J0 lnrse power enctnef with which It Is equipped are tne Smalley type, the Oregon Wolf has the only nine cylinder roinr boat engine known to be In ex igence, and this type Is the design of Jr. in ::. Wolff, the builder of the vic torious crsft. The Dixie IV la equipped with two eight rycllnder engines of 210 lic'-se power each. fn New Year's Iny Volff took the sane craft with which he mule the world's mark yesterday, over the same roorse at a rate of 41 !-l miles per h'ir. and this satisfied Mm that he had a craft that could beat the record of the Plxle IV", and be has been tuning up the engines of the Oregon Wolf ever since. On Thuradsy he was scheduled tr go against the record, but the rain Interfered, for the heavy downpour would have made It Impossible for the helmsman to handle the craft going at the rate of speed required for such a trt- Rata X9 laterferrae. It was raining slightly yesterday, but itot heavily enough to Interfere with the piloting- of the speed, craft, and Orth Mathlot. the young pilot who has been associated with Wolff for the past several years, announced that every thing was O. K. as long as It rained no harder. This was the signal for th starting of the speed test. With Mathlot at the wheel and Wolff in charge of the engines the Or egon Wolf was brought into the stream and warmed up. About 3:14 o'clock th craft passed the Judges' stand on a warm-up trial about th course to workout the engines and to familiarize the pilot with the marking along th course to be followed In the race, promptly at 1:11 o'clock th craft was started on the race against time when Lou Myers, starter, fired th gun. Th first lap of th race was accom plished In 7:01 4-5, which caused a thrill of excitement on board th of ficial boat, as It was this lap thst Wolff feared would be hi worst time and probably hamper his chance. The timers' announcement caused all to feel confident that the chances for a rec ord were most auspicious, and when he dipped t second off this mark on completing hla second lap, th Judges' psrty almost approached uproarous hi larity. Supreme confidence In the boat and th smashing of th record was es tablished . among th official when Wolff completed the third lap In 1 minute flat, for this gave him a mark of 21:11 l- for IS miles, assuring vic tory In the event such speed was main tained. The fourth lap was completed In 7:1. a slight falling off from the previous mark, and when the Oregon Wolf fell back to 7:0 1-a on th next to the final lap, confidence wobbled lightly. The following table rive th tlm made by th Oregon Wolf at each stag of the race: Mi Time. Lao Time.

Wolff had waved confi dently to the officials on completing tne fifth lap. and. as he bad a margin of something more than two minutes to spare at that time, the officials be came quite cheerful. .When the white noe of the craft and the widely scat tered spray became risible to the of ficials and their guest as the Oregon Wolf paaaed under the Iturnslde street bridge on the last leg ( the course, th eager watchers commenced an aud ible comment cn the f ea ., for It was plainly apparent ttiat the record bad been amaahed. The fear of an accident or engine trouble with the goal so nesr wss notueab e on the features of each official, but. aa the speed rl ampion ap proached the features uf eat h reiaxeU Into a satisfied smile, and the gun an nouncing the f'nlsn s wakened scores of steam wlatlea from nti;hoorlr.g craft which took un tlie hrriMInf rn. nnr.. ment of t:i aalule jr'r' bv ! official rraiu .numerous ixi.na ana iiunrnci approached the kf.'lrial boat eagerly In quiring t'.ie time and hour much the Portland bost had beaten the record.

Iocal motorbvat enthusiasts confi dently expect the IC-footer to eclipse ven th wonderful work of th Wolf, and predictions of 4 to 47 mile per hour are freely heard. Shepherd and his colleagues.

The Wolf returned $2700 of its cost trice last Summer at the Astoria re gatta, when It won both the displace ment and the free-for-all races. A comparison of the oost price of the Wolf and Dixie shows how com plete was the victory of th bome-bullt craft. The Wolf Is a pecullarly-btillt boat.

ALTMAN PICKED AS WINNER Bob Brown Makes Offer of 35 Oents for Maxmeyer, Who, He Says, Will Be Good Man If Handled Properly. Barney Joy, th husky Hawaiian pitcher, shonld burn up th Northwest ern Leagu this season with the Spo kane club. If h is anything like the form he exhibited with San Francisco four or five years ago. This Is th prediction mad by Walter McCredie, of the Portland Coasters, who asserts that th dark-ski-ned Honolulu slde wheeler haa as much speed and "stuff" on the sphere as Vean Gregg ever had. "Barney la a Mbtle laxy and not much of a fighter, but if the Spokane play er back him up he'll show those class P stickers something about pitching," aald Mac. Spokane secured Joy In a deal with tho Boston Americans, to which club he refused to report when turned over by the Seals. Sine tlien he hss been pitching In Honolulu. Manager McCredie likes the work of some of the dark-skinned tossers, for he said yesterday that he had intended drafting a Cuban shortstop named Cabrera from the Connecticut Stat League last Fall, only Boston beat him to If. Mac had his eyes on Almeida and Varsans, the Cincinnati Cubans, before th Reds signed them. a e Robert P. Brown, of the Vancouver club, believes that "Butch" AUman will make good at third baso -for San Fran cisco this year If h recover from the malarial trouble which put him to' the bad at Memphis last season. Altman mod hi record with Brown at Spo kan In 1909. "Altman I one of th fighting type," explained the ruddy-topped Canadian owner. "He Is one of those fellows who might make ten errors and still be out fighting for that 11th chance. He played fine ball for Memphis In 1010 but couldn't stand th climate loat y.ar."

I'll meet Charley Ol son, Wassem, Beell or any of them for any amount from the $250 posted for this match up to $2500."
