AUTO DIDN'T LOSE
CYC[|ST HAMEL
Stuck Close to DR.. Boyd for
Five Miles.
AROUSED MUCH INTEREST
Side Bet Between Contestants and
Many Independent Wagers on
Result-Fast Clip.

Automobiles, bicyclists and others
to the number of 600 Or 700 gathered at
cabin John Bridge and Anglers Club
House, on the Great Falls road, yester-
day morning to witness one of the most
novel and interesting endurances as yet
seen around these parts. The contest
ants for speed honors we're Scott Hamei,
the local alf-mile champion bicycle
rider. and DR.. Frank Boyd. bubble
buggy enthusiast, who thinks he has
the fastest car in Washington.
The distance was five miles, cover
ing the stretch from the fishermen
hangout to the great Span bridge. DR..
Boyd wagered So that Hamel could not
follow the automobile for five miles
without getting lost or lett in the
shuttle Yesterday he bowed in defeat
before the pedal pusher and this morn
ing handed over a check for the above
named amount.
Harnei All the Way.
1t was Hamels race ell the way, and
few persons who knew him and his
record never doubted that he would win.
DR.. Boyd has thirty-horsepower car
of which he is exceptionally proud. and
has become an adept at operating it
over the streets of Washington and the
roadways where speeding is INDUCED
in. He and Hamei have come in contact
with each other many times on the
street. and have been rivals for speed
honers many times. DR.. Boyd was beat
en- on the road by Hamel two weeks
ago and sought revenge yesterday. The
race was postponed from June IL be-
cause rain prevented tie contest.
Hamel wore light racing suit. auto
mobile goggles, and leaned upon a
specially made wheel on which he has
won several endurance races. The con-
ditions of the race had previously been
agreed upon. About the only thing to it
was that Hamel should keep up with the
automobile and finish not more than a
yard behind il.
The contestants got flying start. Dr.
Boyd let his machine out to the last
notch at the very beginning, hoping to
kill off, Hamel at the jump.
Fast Clip.
DR.. Boyds speedometer registered
thirty-three miles an hour after the
first mile had been covered. On the
fourth mile the Indicator showed a speed
of tbirty-sevens miles was being made.
Hamel was never in danger of losing.
His machine was geared up to 121 and
the gong was trlne o1Iucuie because
OF the dust and wind from the rear Of
the buzz car. He kept his head down,
and his nose about five inches from the
back OF the car all the way. and won
with ease.
All along the route automobiles and
bicycles Were lined against the fence,
and the persons In the car and bicy-
eiists shouted words Of encoura cement
TO the youthful chamrion. AT Cabin
John Bridge he was given an ovation.
The time for the five miles over the
rough, winding road was announced as
EIGHT minutes and three seconds. Hamel
was pretty well winded because of his
lack of training. but was strong and
willing to ride five miles farther on the
same wager.
It Is understood that the same per-
sons will ride for bet of $500 for a long
err distance within the near future.

A JOKE WITH THE KAISER.

Although somewhat short-tempered
the German Emperor is more easily di-
verified from anger to good humor by

which relates the following:
Some years ago, when old Baron
Boetticher, who was secretary of state
for the interior, was discussing with
his majesty the most suitable noTnina-
lions to be made In the case of a num-
Der of vacant offices, the latter became
greatly irritated by the statesman's un-
aEswerable objection to the candidate
whom ne himself desired to obtain a
certain post. His anger, in fact. grew
quite violent. and when the baron in
Quired If there were no other person
upon whom his majesty would ike to
confer the appointment. the Kaiser re-
piled CURLY:
:. oh. confer it on Satan himself, if

ter, with a twinkle In his eye, and then
continued in his most suave and courtly
manner: And shall ] allow the patent
signed by your majesty in that case TO

Sunday School Race
Is Closest in City
Four Teams Fighting for the LEAD in Section
A, and Each Has a Chance to
Land the Pennant

OF all the races in the amateur
leagues Of Washington. the closest and
most exciting is to be found in Section
A of the Sunday School League. There
four teams are punched so closely that
the result of one or two games would
cause general shift of positions.
The Fourth, Mt. Pleasant Congrega-
tional, Calvary Methodist, and Gunton
are separated by only a few points. The
first two teams are tied for first place,
while Calvary and Gunton are coming
right on behind them.
Hard to Pick Winner.
1t would be hard task for any Sun
day School League fan to pick the win
ner from this bunch 1t has been said
that the real fight is between Fourth,
Mt. Pleasant Congregational, and Cal
vary, but Gunton must certainly be
rechoned with. In fact, the chances OF
this team are just as good as those or
any OF the three teams above.
Three of the four teams have team
batting averages above 300. The Fourth
Presbyterians lead with 1926. Congrega-
tional is next with .313, and Gunton is
third with 800. Calvary is making the
poorest showing in the league. having
an average of only III.
Gunton leads the league in fielding anc
base running. Calvary Is next In fielding
with the Congregationals and the
Fourth following.
Pitchers Important Factors.
One important element in the race is
the pitching stats Of the four teams AT
present Fourth seems to have the best
Of it in this respect. CUNNINGHAM, the
crack Central High School pitcher. and
"Rube'' Clark give them an advantage.
Calvary has two good twirlers in Collie
Wahier and ]. Symonoski. Both OF these
boys have done good work Gunton and
the Congregationals have but one first
class pitcher at present. Carl Hutchin-
son has pitched twelve games of the
thirteen played nv Gunton, and Sheckles
