VEIUT SCEID
BY SPEED KING
Teddy Tetzlaff Say$ He's Not
' .y- ' Afraid of Barney
Oldfield. ' "
Fresh from hui triumphal atay In Ta
coma, whera h won th free-for-all and
the other big yent of the two day pro
gram, Teddy Tetzlaff, road race king of
the" world, arrived here this morning
with his string of famous Fiat racing
machines. Accompanying him were Ver
beck, Hill. Maggino and Hewlett, well
known In h6 automobile racing field.
Yesterday's , list of arrivals included
Barney Oldfield, Lew Helnemann and
"Wild Bill" Frltsch, with a '300 horse
power Christie, fastest of automobiles;
the Prince Henry Ben and a Cino spa
clal racer.
With this bunch of star drivers here,
the Portland Automobile club Is ready
for its big two day race meet at the
Country club track, which begins to
morrow and winds un Wednerfdav. (in
both days the eport will begin at 1:30
p. m.
The fact that he Is going to compete
against the greatest dirt track driver
that has ever mounted a racing car does
not fease Tetilaff. In his own field he
Is ace high and this gives him the con
fidence born of a champion. His confi
dence was added to by his success at
Tacoma and now he is ready to conquer
uianeia.
"I don't care what kind of a car Old
field has," said Teddy this morning.
"They all look alike to me. This dirt
track driving doesn't begin to corfmare
with the long road races. It's a cinch
that I'll beat Oldfield."
Teddy gazed longingly at the beautiful
trophy that goes to the winner of the
free-for-all. It' is the most handsome
cup ever donated for a race, end this
does not except even the Vanderbllt cup,
according to both the drivers. It Is
called the Budwelser cup and was do
nated by Joe Blank, of Portland.
"I need that for my collection."
chirped Tetilaff, "and you'll think Old
field's 300 horsepower car is a on
lunger when we hook up for that piece
of silverware. That is the most beauti
ful cup I have ever seen, and I want
It."
The program each day will include
eight automobile events and a motor
cycle race. The races will be from 1 to
30 miles in length. Both Oldfield and
Tetzlaff will attempt to lower the
world's record for the mile dirt track

MANAGERS ARE AFTER
LEAGUE'S PRESIDENT
Centralia, Wash., July ' 3. Following
tho action of O. J. Albers, president of
the State league, in throwing out, tho
game played "here "June 7, which Mana
ger Wllklns of the Hoqulam team pro
tested on the grounds that Miller of
Centralia used a loaded bat, a move
ment is on foot hare to displace Albers
as league president.
Judge Dysart, manager of the local
team, was in communication with the
managements of the harbor teams last
night, and it Is understood that those
cities will stand by Centralia. The
feeling against Albers' fairness was
accentuated here by the fact that ha
allowed Golden to umpire Saturday's
game between Centralia and Chehalls
when Russ Hall, the regular umpire,
witnessed the game from the grand
stand. Golden's decisions lost the game
for the locals.
