their train of automobiles there were
throngs of interested spectators. Che
mawa seemed to be favorite all along the
line, and the cheering which broke forth
when it was found that an Indian was
leading was evidence of this, but the Y.
M. C. A. boys put up a plucky losing
fight and they were not forgotten by
those along the road. As soon as the
runners would finish a relay they were
met by attendants who cared for them
so that there wight be no bad results
from exhaustion. Chemawa'g runners
were all fresh when they completed
their respective relays. They gained
on their opponents in eight 'out of ten
relays. In two instances the Portland
Y. M. C. A. boys recovered some of their
lost ground. Those being McDaniels
who picked up 2 min. and 48 seconds
from Mose whose lead was cut from 9
min. 12 sec. to 0 min. 80 sec. and Hart
man who ran the ninth relay for the Y,
M. C. A. and picked up a minute .from
Frank Souvigner.
Immediately following the race, ar
rangements were made between Mr. A.
M. Grilley physical director of the Port
