"WEE WILLIE" " 1 : ' VANDERBILT RACE TO pull biggest crowd ;at s. f:s speedway Twenty-five of World's Speed Demons Already Entered for February 22 Event, San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 5. Judging from tlic rush for tickets, even at this early date, the largest crowd ever to witness line Vanderbilt cup race will bo on hand when the drivers are sent away at' the Panama-Pacific exposi tion -ground s here on the morning of .February 22. Twenty-five of r the world's crack speed " demons already are entered in the race, and exposition - of ficials ' say this number will be in creased to at least 30 before the day of the race. , The distance to be covered is 294.062 miles. The course consists of 76 laps of 2.9053 miles each. Indications to day were that Ralph De Palma, twice winner of the Vanderbilt cup, will be the betting favorite. If he wins the race he will retail permanent posses sion of the Vancjerbilt trophy and in such event the Vanderbilt cup race will be removed from the list of road racing classics. The Vanderbilt race heretofore has always drawn well over 100.000 per sons, but exposition officials predict . that at least 250,000 spectators will be on hand when the first car la sent on its way. Tho Vanderbilt cup already has ar rived in San Francisco and is on exhi bition In the window of a local Jewelry store. This is the first time the Cup; v.'hich Is recognized as the blue ribbon trophy of American automobile con tests, has been' out of New York. The fact that the course runs so close to the big exposition palaces most of-the distance prevents the use of any space on either side of it for spectators, and as a result the crowd will have to eee the sport from the stands. The entire course will be pa trolled by exposition guards, who will limit ' the spectator to certain dis tances while the race is in progress.

Sailor Ed Pe tnoskey of San" Francisco has gone back at least $0 per cent since his last appearance in Denver. This was the consensus of opinion today of the spectators who witnessed his bout here ast night with "Fight ing Dick" Gilbert. Gilbert won by a wide margrin, after 20 rounds of slug ging. Petroskey was ready to drop when the gong sounded the close of the final round. Gilbert, who had 'beaten the Ca':fornian into a state of helplessness, wore himself out at the task, and 'he, too, was almost ex hausted. GIBBONS TO BOX M'GOORTY St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 6.

He was given his outright release yester day by Judge McCredie so that he may do the best thing possible for himself. McCorry waj picked up last fall by Nick Williams after lie had been re leased by the Spokane club. He imme diately struck his gait and pitched good ball. Manager McCredie intended to fc've Willie a second trial in the Coast league this fall, he having- seen hlj first service as a member of the San Francisco club, by which he was shipped to the Spokane Indians. "We wrote to New Orleans and, offered McCorry to them," said the Judge. "This was a couple of months ago, and we have received no word from Johnny Dobbs, manager if the Pelicans, as to whether he can use McCorry. We assume that he cannot, and rather than stand in the way of his placing himself elsewhere we gave him his release. He is a good pitcher, but we are overstocked with pitchers now." McCorry is wintering at Rathbrun, Idaho. Fred Derrick has written Judge Mc Credie that he is perfectly satisfied with his contract and that he will be in good shape when he reports at Fresno. He says he sees a good year ahead. Evidently Fred i3 not aware of the negotiations under war' oetween the St. Louis Americans :.nd Portland relative to his purchase by the former. Big Bill James tipped Derrick off to Branch Rickey and the latter Imme diately took steps to purchase the leetfooted "first baseman. Fred was the class of the first Backers of the league last year. but was in only two thirds of the ;ames, being susceptible to injury. ' . If the negotiations with St. Louis 400 TURNERS IN .

McCredie has had no word yet from Moran. rela tive to his contract. In a discussion of Harry Wolverton, the new Seal manager yesterday, seme one remarked that he jwas not popular with the fans of the ! circuit, as was the case with Del Howard, whom he supplanted. I "Harry may not be popular With the public," said Walter iDoane," but he Is certainly popular wth his ball play ers. They would go through fire and water for Harry. Last, year they gave him the finest watch you ever saw In token of their esteem. Harry la for the player first, last and all the time. "Take for Instance, the case of "Pep" Young, who went up to Detroit. The Tigers offered hlin a Contract that was not so good as his Sacramento con tract, Harry refused to let hjm sign for that amount and secured a much better offer from Detroit. That's one of the reasons why the players swear by him." j Bill Gleeson, the Portland youngster, who Is now catching for Omaha in the Western league," concurred with what Doane said, bill was with Harry a few months in Oakland some years ago. Why, Wolvy had mei thinking I could lick any umpire .In the world," said Bill. He sure puts the old confldencee Into a young fellow at the start." Gleeson, by the way, is balking a little on the contract that Ohaha of fered him this year. It Is the same as last season, but Bill says he has it in black and white that the management of last season offered him an increase this year. The club has fcince changed hands, but Gleeson holds that makes no difference in his contract. AS THE CROW FLIES By R. A. O. EXTBXCO, HE QZVA. DA.

Parslow of the Multnomah club Blipped a haymaker over on Campbell and it was some time before the un attached boy knew what happened.
