THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, MAY 5, 1907. N BOYS 48-MILE RELAY Carry Letter From Salem to. Portland in Five Hours and 26 Minutes. BEAT Y. M. C. A. 12 MINUTES Maintain Lead All the Way Run ners Are Cheered by Crowds All Along the Route Planned to Make It Annual State Event. Th Salem-Portland relay race be tween the local Y. M. C. A. and the Chemawa Indian Schol was won yes terday by the Indiana. The race was a rlose content and the Association boy was only 12 minutes behind the Indian lad when he, reached the Y. M. C. A. buildinir. The race started from the State House, Swlem, at 9:40 A. M., and the Indian runner reached the terminus In Portland at 3:06 P. M. The race was the first of its kind ever held on the Coast, and one of the longest relay races ever held in the country. At 9:40 the two runners. Sidney Rssmussen. representing the Y. M. C. A., and Walter Halght. a Klamath In dian lad representing the Government school, were each handed a copy of a letter containing greetings from Gov ernor Chamberlain addressed to Mayor' Lane at the west steps of the. Capitol. Both men started off amid the cheers of a large crowd of Salem people, took fapltal street to Market, then on to the State Fair road leading towards this city. All along the road they were greeted with cheers. Crowds of farmers had assembled and at the crossroads there was usually a vehicle, containing some party that had traveled a dls tsnce to witness the race. The two runners, with the Indian boy in the Iesd, passed down the road about a mile east of the Chemawa School. Nearly every stvident in the school was there to give the school yell. Guns Fired at Gervals. The runners changed at a point about five miles north of Salem, and the Indian had gained seven minutes on his rival. The fresh runners fol lowed the County road, passing about a mile east of Brooks and a half mile from Gervais. A large crowd was there to greet them, and as the first man passed through the crowd, a num ber of guns were fired. The Indian lads kept the lead, and never allowed the palefaces to pass them. At Canby they took the railroad track and fol lowed the line to Oregon City. There they crossed the Suspension Bridge and came into Portland on the Oswego road. Here they encountered some' very heavy hills, especially the Oswego hill. With the Indian still in the lead they passed through Fulton and came In the city over Kelly street. Then they took Water street io Columbia. Columbia to Fourth, then on to the Association building. A large crowd was in front of tho Y. M. C. A. building when Amo Smoker, the Indian boy who was to finish' the race, came In sight. Cheers went up as the little fellow came in weary and panting after his long run. He delivered the message to the party on the platform, then hurried into the association building to take a shower. Twelve minutes later Fred Newell, the Y. M. C. A. man, came running in, and delivered a copy of the same document. He, too, was greeted with cheers, and soon disappeared into the association building. The Relay Teams. The first Indian lad was Walter Haight. the second was Sam John, a fullblooded Indian lad from California. ,He In turn was relieved by Pejer Sey mour, and Seymour turned the letter over to Michael Wilson, a fullblooded Xes Perce from Idaho. At Hubbard, Robert Brothers, a Shoshone, took the document and carried It to Barlow, where he was relieved by Nick Mack, a Klamath Indian boy. Mack was re lieved by Frank Dan, a 14-year-old Muckleshoot, who ran to Oregon City, where he turned the letter over to Peter Casey. Casey in return was re lieved by Apie Goudy. and this lad carried the letter nearly to Fulton, en trusting It to Amos 6m(Mnr. For the T. M. C. A. Sidney Rasmussen started the race, and "ne was. relieved by Henry Talbot, followed in turn by J. G. Arbuthnot, Will Dacey. Al New son, Floyd Kees. Walter Backus. L. L. Street. Earl Leonard and Fred Newell. Physical Director Grilley, of the as sociation, who is one of the first per sons to propose the race, said last night that it was a great success and several other Important athletic institutions of the state have signified their intention of entering, and Mr. Grilley hopes to make the event one , or the annual athletic events In the state.

A crowd of about 200 men, women and children gathered at the Capitol this morning to see the start In the Port land Y. M. C. A. -Chemawa relay race between Salem and Portland. Private Secretary W. X. Gatens. of the Gov ernor's office, had given each of -the starters a message from the Governor to Mayor Lane, and when the Indian and the white man toed a crack in the sidewalk at the west approach to the Capitol, the crowd waited breathlessly for the word to start. Bnt there was nothing spectacular. At 9:40 Mr. Gatens gave the word "Go!" and the two run ners started off at a slow trot that had little appearance of a foot-race. No bets were made, but the desire was aP' ptrently unanimous that the Chemawa team should win. Among those who were present at the start were ex-Governor Lord. C. B. Moores. Judge H. L. Benson, W. P. Campbell, of the Chema wa Indian School; R. J. Hendricks, Physical Director Forbes, of the Salem Y. M. C. A., and nearly all of the state officers.
