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.

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

UN GREAT AUTO MEET
PORTIyAXD WJXI SEE RACES
DCKIXG FESTIVAL.
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.

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.

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. The
team will also go as far north as Spo
kar.e.

$1400 F. O. B. 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. Ask any one or all of them what kind of service
the Cadillac has given:

California After Meeting of Pa
cific Coast League.
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.
