Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OREGOTAN, TORTLAXD. OTTOIBEK 2, WORLD'S AUTOS FASTEST WILL RACE Savannah Meet Promises Eclipse Any Ever Held . ' in America. to GREAT CROWDS GATHERING 'Portland Automobile Club Will ij Hold Big Show Early in March. 'otes and ws of Lo cal Motoring. Everything's In readiness at Savannah. tla., for the big automobile race meet , which takes pla.-e there next Thursday. I Thanksgrvlnff day. Crowds are already beginning to rather In Savannah for Uie race ana jioxei Kccommoau onj are . premium. If Indeed any are not already 'taxed. The drivers of the different cars are all on the scene and have been prac tlctng wira their racers over the. fast Icourse for several weeks past. I The distance of the bit; race Is to be t'4"2.u6 miles, composed of 16 laps of 25.13 mlies a lap. The circuit for the liftm car race, which precedes the race for the bis; i-ars. Is . miles long and will be covered l 0 times, making the distance 199 mil 'cars of the type of the Buirk. Chalmers .Detroit and Otdsmoblle are to be eligible j for this race and several email cars from Europe have been sent over to compete ; against them. Amor? these latter are the Lancia, a car named after the famous ' racing driver, and the S. P. O- a French croduct. America may well be proud If one of the cars entered from this side the water :uceeds In winning the race, for all the .best talent In Europe has been sent to Savannah to compete. Such famous , drivers as Nazzaro. Hemery, Wagner, jfzlsx, Hautvast and Duray have come with the very fastest and best raoers .that the European factories can produce. The Mat trio of cars and drivers Is the ', most formidable array that has ever rep Irnsented one country In any race, and - they are strong favorites for first place. ( That Flat cars are as fast aa anything built has been demonstrated time and ngaln In different road races and with 'Nazzaro and Wagner at the wheels of two of them and Ralph DePalma at the other It Is hard to Imagine a stronger contingent of cars and drivers. Germany will be represented by Mercedes and Bens entries, and France will have the De Cltrlch and Renault. With 8zls at the wheel of the Renaults and Lewis Strang at the other and Duray piloting the big !M Deltrlch, France should be well rep resented. The Renault racers are perhaps the ones In every race that attract the most attention from the spectators on account ;of the racy look given them by their eloped hoods. They present a pretty eight I going at high speed, with fire shooting from their sides and their nose apparently pointed down to eartn to get out of the -way of the wind. It Is always a dls 'appolntment to the throngs of spectators 1 -when a Renault does not finish among 'the lenders. E. E. Schwartzkopf. the publisher of Automobile Topics, and a man who Is probaWy more conversant with auto moblllng titan anyone else In America. Shas made interesting predictions of the 'FP-ed that will be attained In the grand prize race next Thursday. Mr. Bchwartx 'kopf doubts that the Targo Florio speed .of 74 miles an hour will be equalled on 'account of the numerous turns on the Savannah course. With the necessary Flowups for turns, which will vastly de crease the maximum speed of over 100 mllea an hour, of which most of the cars entered are capable, he estimates that a lnp will be made In 20 minutes and 36 seconds, which Is at the rate of 68 jnlles an hour. On this basis the race will take 6 hours and 29 minutes to run. As Jlr. Schwartzkopf was only x mln-' utes wrong In hta speed estimate of the reed required to win the Vanderbilt, jhla prediction for the Savannah race Is i looked upon as being pretty accurate. Promptly at ( o'clock on Thanksgiv ing morning the first car will bo start ed on Its long run In the contest for the cup of gold that has been offered !ly the motor enthusiasts of Savannah, and every minute for nearly a half hour thereafter another big; machine will dart down the long straight rtretrh that leads from the grandstand tin the most picturesque course that .has ever been used for motor car racing. The grand prize race will even clips the Vanderbilt race, which was won by an American car. It will be the longest road race ever held In the Vnlted States. t ' Although the date has not been definitely decided, the officers of the ij'ortland Automobile Club have de termined to hold an automobile show rarly In March. This show will fol low closely upon the Chicago Exhibi tion and will contain many of the cars Vnd parts thnt will have been on dis play there. The Armory has been en ; aired to house the show and during the coming week the floor plans will be submitted to the local dealers and The allotment of space will be made. This will be the first attempt to stage anything of the kind that has ever been made in Portland, although t;n Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle have for the past two years held their annua! motor car displays. For some time W. F. Llpman. secretary of the 3-ortlAnd Club, has been In correspond ence with the Eastern factories In re gard to the matter and the encourage ment he has received has been largely . responsible for the announcement of the date. Throughout the East It has been the custom to hold six-day shows and In enire cases they have Included Sun days, too, but In this city only four nays will be given over to It. The ground floor of the exhibition will contain :0.000 square feet and In addi tion to this there will be another room thst v.i'1 be used for a motorboat and accessory display that will contain nearly half as much. At the present time It Is estimated that the building will contain about J.-.OO.OOO worth of machines and sup plies, although It Is possible that at the time the doors open there will b even more value represented. Within a short time the work of metall ing the road signs that has been under taken by the Portland Automobile Club will be commenced. The roads leading out of the city will all be marked and the general highway to the southern part cf the state will be covered from end to end. The signs that have been In use Sn Europe for some time will be copied as they are simpler and more readily followed than the kind used In California suid other states. It ! understood that the proposed au-t.-tmobile trust which has been under way nf ama:g:ima:ion for some months In the ands of Herbert L. Satterlee. will Include 1!ie Uaxwell. Buick. and Olds factories. J. P. Morgan Co. have undertaken the formation of the trust and with this for midable array of power behind the scheme ax. Mems mora than likely that U J1H. go through to a successful finish. this the first step towards the final amal gamatlon of all the factories In the conn try Into one big trust? That Is what has been predicted for some years but the actual carrying out of the project was not expected for some time yet. H. B. Larzalere, sales manager of the Chadwtck Engineering Works, announced prior to his departure for 8avannah that he had secured a liberal appropriation for racing for the coming year and that the Chad wick would figure In all tne im portant races that will be held next year. The performance of the Chadwlck In the Vanderbilt race has made the factory realize the speed possibilities of the car and practice with the grand prize model developed the fact that she was so per fectly balanced that she will hold the road perfectly . at speeds over 90 miles an hour. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover, who are making a 75,000-mile trip In an automobile and who left the Pacific fjoast April u. stopped last week on their way to New York at the Tarrytown factory of the Maxwell Company and changed their two-cylinder 20-horse-power car for one of the new 30-horse-power Maxwells. They sail shortly for Algiers and will tour Africa and Southern Europe the coming Winter. Next Spring the thorough visit ing of Europe will begin and in 1911 Asia will be explored. The. following year the Maxwell will travel over Australia and New Zealand reaching California In the Winter of 1312. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover are not out for any records for long distance, the trip having been gotten up at tha Instigation of Mr. Hoover's doctor. . When the first automobile show was held In the Madison Square Garden In 1900, foreign cars were a very necessary part of It. In fact they were the biggest fac tor In tha show then and for a few years following. As the American Industry has grown, though, foreign cars have become scarcer, and scarcer until this year will see the entire elimination of the foreigner and the undisDUted sway of the American made machine. The show this year will be held on January 16-23 and is expected to eclipse any show of former years. Automobile enthusiasts who predict the disappearance of the horse now go so far as to say that the motor-car will even take the place of the runner on the tracks. Their argument Is that the run ning thoroughbred Is almost a distinct species, bred for racing and unfit for anything else, and that there will be 1 distinct species of racing motor-car fur nlshed to provide sport for those who have been adherents of tha racehorse gams. According to the traveling men repre senting trade Journals, who are allowed to get pretty near the truth of the situation, the prosperity of the automobile Industry evidenced at the factories la astounding. Plants are being enlarged and outputs Increased almost generally. This Is par ticularly true of the Middle West which Is continually forging ahead of the East. The optimism appears to be witnout ex ceptlon and there is no lack of confidence but what there will Do enougn oi a at and to exhaust the supply In all lines of cars from the lowest to the highest In price. www Harry Keats, of the Keats Auto Com pany, has Just returned irora a trip throughout the state and reports the out look for business better than ever before. Mr. Keats says that this year will see a great deal of business from the smaller towns where In the past there nas oeen practically none. Already he has sold and delivered more of the new model cars than he had sold and delivered up to May 1 last season. Frederick J. Una, of San Francisco, vice-president of the Maxwell-Brlsco-Pa-clflc Company, was In Portland part of the week In tha Interest of the Maxwell line. Fairly bubbling over In his eagerness to spread the news, Donald MacKay, of the Diamond Rubber Company, arrived Friday night with the story of the world's record made on Diamond tires at Los An geles in the trecent 34-hour race. The Franklin that secured second place was equipped with the new Diamonds and was driven 836 miles on a circular track with out ar change of tires, while the Locomo bile that won first place was forced to change four casings during the test. . Within the next three or four weeks Julius L. Meier will be seen driving around the streets of Portland in his new six-cylinder Thomas. The car has been shipped from the factory at Buffalo and will be delivered to him as soon as It arrives. A new building Is being erected on the corner of Alder and Sixteenth streets for the Crowe Automobile Company, and will house the Stearns and Oldsmoblle ma chines as soon as completed. , Norman DeVeaux. the Western sales manager of the Auburn factory, has been iln this city the greater portion of the week looking for a location for the North western distributing point for the Auburn product. H. C. Foster, of the George P. Moore Company, of San Francisco, arrived from that city last Tuesday. Ha will open a wholesale house here in the near future. W. J. Bums, of the Balfour-Guthrie Company, purchased a seven-passenger Peerless from the Portland Motor Car Company last week. Xewberg Wins First Game. NEWBERO, Or.. Nov. 21. Paclflc Col lege opened the basketball season here Friday night by defeating the Walnut City team of McMlnnville by a score of 27 to 17. On the McMlnnville team were Hoskins and Blair, two old Pacific stars. Pacific showed her superiority In passing. Four of last year's team are In the game again playing better ball than ever and they expect to make a good showing against the T. M. C. A. and Multnomah at Portland next Friday and Saturday.

Three Hnndred-MHo Event Will Be Feature and Entries Will Be High-Class. With the beginning of work on the Rose Festival for next year. Interest among the members of the Portland Automobile Club and of the Dealers' Association is being aroused -regarding the races that are to be made a part of the entertain ment for that week. According to Sec retary Llpman, the same course will be used as last year but It will be In much better condition. This part of. the pro irramme has been put up to the County Commissioners, who have responded with a promise that the course will be In per fect -shape. As a result of the success of last year s event, a great deal of enthusiasm has been displayed among the local motorists, and, on account of the excellence of the course, a number of Eastern drivers have promised to be here next year. The programme for the event win oe somewhat longer than last year for there will be three events Instead of two. The additional attraction will be the feature race. It will be 300 miles or 21 times around the course. As there will be a large number of very fast cars In this contest, the spectators will be assured of some exciting work. Among the recent visitors to Portland was Frank Iceland, who was a member of the Stearns team In both the Savannah and Briercliff races, and who Is one of the well-known racing men of the Unit ed States. When he was shown the course, he at once said that It was far superior to the courses he had driven on in the East and that he would be here next year with one and possibly two Steams cars. It Is .also asserted that at least four of the foreign drivers and machines are at the present time under promise to be here and compete. In addition to these, there will be at least two of the cars that represented America In the recent Vanderbilt race. This will bring together a field the like of which has never been seen on the Pacific Coast. MY MAKE IV A R STATE LEAGUE President Ewing Wants Cali fornia Outlaws to Join Or ganized Ranks TWO TEAMS FOR PORTLAND BEGIXS TEST OF EN'DTJRAXCE H. M. Corey Expects to Make Con tinuous 1000-Mile Run. With every part on his machine on which an adjustment Is possible securely sealed by a committee of newspaper men. Howard M. Covey started from the Orcgonlan building yesterday noon In an endeavor to cover 1000 miles over the streets of Portland without stopping the motor. The car he drove is one of the new "30" Cadillacs, and so certain la Mr. Covey of his ability to complete the run without mishap he has also announced that at its conclusion he will place the car on his floor, where the engine will still be allowed to run for six days more. This Is the first test of this nature to be made in this city, and in this case the conditions are more severe than usual, as. most owners are content to have a machine run continuously for 1000 miles without attempting to keep the motor running for a week longer in doors. Three other drivers will assist Mr. Covey in this drive and will alternate In four-hour shifts. They will be L. Stein, Guy Holman and Oscar Layman. No speed tests will be attempted and the speed laws will be strictly adhered to. This will necessitate the test extending over at least four days and probably five will be consumed. Coast League Executive Has No Ob jections to McCredle Putting Team In Pacific North west League. BT HARHY B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 21--(Speclal.) The California State League must fish or cut bait is the ultimatum that President J. Cal Ewlng, of the Pacific Coast League, brought with him on his return from the session of the minor leagues in Chicago. Ewlng has re turned home with full power to deal with the outlaws, with the backing of the minor leagues, nnancially and mor ally, and intimates that he will ac complish something or that the out laws will have a fight for their exist ence on their hands. Although there has been considerable opposition man ifested by Stockton and San Jose, both In the State League, Mr. Ewing feels that he will accomplish his purpose. He will communicate with President Frank Herman, of the outlaws, at once to discuss terms. "The minor leagues are very Rindly disposed toward the outlaws," said Mr. Ewlng, "and want them to come into the fold We are willing to give them a club In Los Angeles in order that the south may have continuous baseball. If they do not come In, we will fight and disrupt them if possible. Our league will not stand the expense, which will be apportioned among the various leagues of the country. They have many good players, and we can pay them more money than they are receiving, or at least cause them to be dissatisfied with -their positions. But we are. not anxious to have a war. We prefer to have that league with us an will' give them all the opportunity In the world to join hands.' This declaration by Ewing is almost tantamount to open war, as several the more Influential members of th State League have some time since an nounced themselves as opposed to or ganized ball. . Ban Johnson, Harry Pul 11am and Garry Herrmann have prom ised to come to the Coast in the mlddl of December to discuss issues with the outlawj and they may be less out spoken than Ewing and benefit accord inely by a more politic manner. Ewlng was asked what stand the Coast League would assume If Judge McCredle desired to put a team in the Pacific Northwest League, and stated that there would be no objection. Evi dently Ewlng is not looking for any further opposition than he Is obliged to take from the Portland end or af fairs. John I. Taylor, president of the Bos ton Americans, is a visitor In San Fran Cisco, as he has been for several TV in ters in the past. Mr. Taylor says that, aside from taking Danzig and Madden who are returned to him from the Port land club, he will not have any Coasters on his team. He says that, under his agreement, McCredle Is to have the choice of what men are. not needed on the Boston club, and that Is one reason which has brought him to the Coast. He thought some of making the trip to Portland, but as he has learned that the annual meeting of the league will be held In San Francisco in December, he expects to see McCredle here at that time. Unless Ewlng has something under his hat, the Coast League will stagger along next year as a four-team organi zatlon. This is altogether a wrong pol icy. The fans have demonstrated that they want more faces and more variety and they certainly cannot get It with hut four clubs In the league. GIRLS' TEAM TO TOUR STATE Pendleton Basketball Five Arranges Big Schedule. PENDLETON, Or., Nov. 21. (Spe cial.) As the football season Is near- lng an end, basketball is attracting the attention of the rtudents of the local High School. At least two teams, one of boys and one of girls, will represent the institution this season. The girls' team is already well or- ganized and by far the best schedule of games ever played by a team of girls representing the ' Pendleton High School Is being arranged. Among other things it is proposed to make a tour of the Willamette Valley and contests will probably be had at Portland, Salem, Eugene, Albany and McMlnnville.

DETROIT Funny proposition, this automobile business. The general impres sion for a good many years has been thpt automobile manufacturers were making too much money. Now, however, we have an occasional skeptical prospect who doesn't know the reputation of the Cadillac Co.; look at the new "Cadillac Thirty," shako his head, and say, "No, there's something wrong; they can't do it for the money." But there isn't anything wrong. 10,000 cars for 1909 and a small profit on each, is the Cadillac policy. If -these 10,000 cars don 't make good, they have a poor chance of selling the 20,000 they are figuring on for 1910. If their 1908 car hadn't made good they couldn't sell the 10,000 cars in 1909. Here are names, addresses and telephone numbers of thirty-five '07 and '08 Cadillac owners.

NOW SET FOR PORTLAND Ewdng and Berry Want Session In San Francisco So That State Clubs May Be Brought Within Fold. BT W. J. PBTRAUT. A seemingly endless series of dis putes has arisen in the Paclflc Coast League, and unless concessions are made by one side or the other before long, the time for the opening of the basball season of 1909 will have ar rived before the quarreling magnates come to an understanding. The present state of affairs is due to the selfishness oi tne cauiornia mag- nates which has croppped out so fre. auently In the past and which is again in evidence. This time it is the desire of J. Cal and HI Henry to take the an nual meeting of the league away from Portland, after It had been voted to this city. The reason given for the necesssity, as they term it, of switch- lnb the meeting to San Francisco Is that Presidents Johnson, of the American League, and Pulllam, of the National, are to visit the coast for tne purpose of . entrapping the California outlaws into the meshes of organized baseball. Players Take Side Jobs. The situation and environments of the California State League are the same as other leagues enrolled in the associa tion, for on that circuit games are only played on Saturdays, Sundays and holi days. The players performing in that circuit have been secured because they became dissatisfied with the treatment accorded them in organised baseball and were willing to accept berths in the out law league at stipulated salary and with the assurance of a position on me siae. The jobs were secured for the players with the condition that they would nave Saturday afternoons to themselves. Under such conditions, the California League has been enabled to enjoy some high-class baseball, anoj this nas oeen possible because there were no restric tions on the men they could secure, and no limit to the salaries they could offer. Some of the California State League moitei are said to be In favor of af filiating with the National association, while others are most strenuously op posed to the venture. These latter main tain that they do not want protection and are able to regulate their own league and can secure any and all players they desire. These men are not likely to tane Kindly iJLto a .proposition whereby they will lose , most of the players they now possess, even though such a contingency will not come to pass In the one year's grace likely to he allowed them, for they will have a hard time replacing these stars. Any players the California league would be likely to buy or draft after joining the ranks of organized ball, would hardly agree to a salary payable partially In money and partially In mercantile situa tions for five days of the week. The task of pacifying outlaw leagues will keep the National association busy for years to come, for as soon as one organization Is brought into the fold an other will take its place. There will al ways be a certain quota of dissatisfied ball players who will take advantage of these leagues, and by casting their lot without the fold of organized base ball will be able to create enough in terest In such circuits to make them profitable. As long as the ball players are owned body and soul by ths magnates this dis satisfaction can be expected to crop out. The baseball moguls in control of the situation become altogether too arbi trary when they attempt to say what a player shall and shall not do after he has finished his regular schedule with the league to which he belongs. Were any of the big league players now under suspension for playing post season games in Chicago to make a test case of their suspension In the United States courts they would win hands down because a man's time Is his own. while not under contract. Judge McCredle will return from a judicial session at Kalama today, and Walter McCredle Is expected back from the East about Tuesday. As soon as the Portland magnates have a confer ence their action relative to the re quest of the transfer of the annual meeting will be known. BILLIARDS. . The Waldorf. 7th and Washington."
