This Year
Course Is Reported to Be in
Worse Condition Than at
Any Previous Time
By R. R. L'HoMMED1EU

There still remains one more annual
automobile contest for California be-
fore the season passes into history.
This will be the Los Angeles Phoenix
race, which takes place on the 18th,
and which is about as hard road
grind as has ever been conceived BY
motor enthusiasts. Conditions of the
course change with each season. Cloud
bursts and shifting sand make it i'm
possible for driver to tell the route
from one year to another. This being
the case, the contestants have each
year had to go over the 500 mile course
to familiarize themselves with the
route.
The Gilmore. which will be a Compel
itor this year, has just returned after
making this preparatory trip. A. J..
Smith, coast agent, who is now located
in San Francisco, has just received
word from the crew to the effect that
this years contest is going to be an
exceedingly hard grind.
George Daks, who acted as mechanic
with Smith in last years contest. has
written thats.in regard to the roads on
the Arizona side, / think they are
worse than last year. There are many
washouts along the route from Vicks-
burg to Winters Wells and the roads
are particularly vile. On the other
side of the Colorado they are about the
same as last year, which means that
they could not be worse. The running
time on the tryout was q hours. which
was three hours shorter than the rec
ord made last year by f. c. Fenner in
