The four leaders raced for 10 miles
on the high mesa boarderingr the in
ternational boundary, in plain sight of
hundreds of people waiting at the Col
orado River. Enveloped in dust and
moke, Davis, Soules and Oldfield

station. Oldfield's car had been on
fire four times during the 868-mile
dash to Yuma, and spouted flame as
It thundered up to the control.
If the precedents of tradition built
up by five previous transdesert races
hold good, Davis and his Locomobile
will be first into Phoenix near noon
tomorrow, but unless he improves his
time considerably the two Simplexes,
barring accidents, will beat him on
elapsed time.
Davis' elapsed time was unofficially
given tonight as 10 hours 57 minutes
and 40 seconds for the 368 miles from
Los Angeles. Rice's Simplex, however,
covered the distance In 10:40:15, while
Oldfield's time was 1 minute 25 seconds
better than Davis'.
Six cars checked into the control be
fore 6 o'clock tonight. The other 17
starters in the race were strung out
between Santa Ana, 35 miles from Los
Angeles, and the California state boun
dary. Simplex No. 5 was wrecked near
Santa Ana and Omar Toft, the driver,
was reported tonight in a hospital seri
ously injured. Several other cars suf

BOAT
IS
RUMORED
Syndicate Will Build $7500 Speed
Craft, Says Report.
Portland again will be on the motor
boat racing map if the plans which
Portland men are making for 1914
materialize. Portland will have a 400
or 500-horsepower racer which will
cost at least J7500.
Those who will finance the new racer,
according to the rumor, are A. C. Att
well, of the Gerllnger Motor Car Com
pany, and Captain E. W. Spencer and
two others, whose names have not been
learned.
Messrs Attwell and Spencer, accord
ing to the report, have placed J2500 in
the boat-building pool. Mr. Attwell is
the latest recruit to the Portland ranks
of motorboat enthusiasts. Mr. Spencer
owns the Baby Bell and leased the
Oregon Kid to send East. He later pur
chased the Oregon Kid and won several
races with the speedy craft.
Mr. Attwell built , the Sloth, one-of
the smallest speeder's. It was a pleas
ure craft rather than speed boat.
R. A. Cox, who managed the Oregon
Kid, may be another subscriber to tho
Attwell-Spencer pool.
The boat. It is said, will be a 26
footer and its engine will be the most
powerful ever Installed in a Western
boat. The motor will be one of special
build as none of the present standards
has the power nor the speed which the
men desire.

ARRY VARDON, the great Eng
lish pro golfer, picks Chick
Evans as the best golfer in Amer
ica. Vardon declares there is only one
other American golfer in his class,
Jerry Travers.
In commenting on the golf of H.
Chandler Egan, of Medford, and Harry
Davis, of Portland, in their recent
Waverly match, Vardon delegates Mr.
Davis as the better golfer. He says
the Portland expert has a style that
will get him more in the long run. He
adds that where Mr. Davis steps into
; - -r - his shots with a
dash and powerful
stroke, the former
Jat lonal champion

It must be said
for Mr. Egan, how
ever, that he hopped

Southern Oregon
only the day prior
to the match,
whereas Mr. Davis
is on the course
every day.

When Vardon and Ray return to Al
bion's shores after matches at Denver
and St. Louis, making an even 36 ex
hibitions in America, they will have
tucked away in their Jeans a cool
$11,500 net. For each match their
manager, Alex Flndlay. files away a
check for J400.
Flndlay is manager of John "Wana
maker's wholesale department in New
York City, and has managed the Eng
lishmen on their tour as a sort of va
cation stunt. He does not take a penny
of the receipts. It was Flndlay who
brought Vardon to America 13 years
ago for the National open champion
ship, which -Vardon won.
Vardon and Ray are booked to sail
from New York for the home shore on

prior to embarkation aboard the Em
press of Japan for the Orient. Christy
Mathewson and Larry McLean will be
the New York battery, if W. W. Mc
Credie's request is gratified by C W.
Comiskey.
McCredie telegraphed Comiskey In
the south yesterday, asking him to so
arrange the battery choices as to have
Matty appear here with Long Larry on
the receiving end. Larry went from
Portland to the big league, and Port
land fans will welcome him with glad
acclaim.
"I realize that there is a great de
mand all along the line for Matty,'
said President McCredie last night, "but
I believe that my request will be gratl
fled. Fielder Jones also will use his
influence to have Christy arpear."
Portland officials received time and
box office instructions from the man
agers of the tour yesterday. The game
here will start at 2:30 o'clock, and the
prices will be tl for the grandstand and
60 cents for the bleachers. If it is a
fair day McCredie estimates the crowd
at close to 5000.
Besides McLean several other stars
will known in Portland are included on
the globe-circling roster.
Lefty Leverenz, drafted from Los An
geles by St. Louis last year, is with
the Sox; Joe Berger, also of the 1912
Angels; Weaver, of the 1911 Seals, and
Kuhn. of the 1911 Portland club, are
others with the White Sox.
Jacques Fournier, former Portland
catcher, is slated to join the party at
Tacoma with a bride, so will not ap
pear here. Fournier is now a first
sacker.
That Walter McCredie expects great
things from Babe Reams, his most re
cent infield acquisition, is evidenced by
his remarks concerning the Boise short
stop
"Reams Is a big, rangy fellow, shift-ier-looklng
than Harry Heilmann," de
clared the Portland manager yesterday,
"He is a good fielder and his batting
average in the Western Tri-State only
about six or seven points below that of
Bobby Davis. Davis came here and
picked up to .325 in the Coast League,
and I believe that Reams can do the
same."
Reams, according to Mac, is a Santa
Clara College boy. Sacramento had
him a few weeks late in the Fall of
1910, and then released him to Happy
Hogan. Venice farmed Reams out to a
state league club In 1911, and on the
opening day of 1918 sold him to Los
Angeles to fill in during Howard's re
cuperation from a twisted ankle.
Los Angeles kept him a few weeks
and then released him, and he signea
with Aberdeen. When the Washington
State League discontinued, Reams land
ed at Boise.
Jfmmy Richardson, who discovered
Babe at Boise, says he is the fastest
infielder on slow-hit balls In the coun
try. mm
Leo Strait will not be a member of
the Seattle Northwestern League club
next year. Manager Raymond has given
Leo carte blanche to go ahead and
make some sort of a deal for himself
in the East. The ex-Portland outfielder
failed to keep in condition last Fall,
and was sent home to Elmira, N. Y.,
nearly a month before the season
closed.

With an average weekly revenue of
only $900 in Portland, Nick Williams'
Portland Northwestern Leaguers closed
the season with a surplus. W. W. Mc
Credie completed his final checking
yesterday, and the credit figures show
a year's profit of close to $90.
The "judge" has not decided whether
to spend the proceeds like a profligate
on a trip around the world or whether
to invest in a new suit of clothes.
"Nick Williams ran into bad weather
here in Portland and his daily average
attendance was only 400 fans," re
marked President McCredie, as he
screwed his head around to a news
paper clipping telling of the Coast
League opposition to the dual system
in Portland.
"It was the poorest season, so far as
Portland is concerned, that the North
western League has ever had. Nick
drew well on the road, and the $1950
secured in the drafts for Heilmann and
Maya pulled us out of a bad hole."
