MEASURES ROUTE
OF ENDURANCE run
A. E. Hunter of Automobile
Dealers Association Covers
the Course
Lays Out a Much Longer Dis
lance Than That Used .
Last Year
BY R. r. L'HOMMEDIE

! A. Z. Hunter of the runs and tour
committee of the Automobile dealers
association went over the course for
the "a hour endurance contest yester-
day. He picked out course that will
be longer than the one that was used
last year, frightening it by using part
of the Oakland boulevard. The reading
of the speedometer was taken at the
ostrich farm. The first point noted was
Moss avenue, as it was thought if the
course was considered too long it could
be shortened by coming through Moss
avenue. The distance from the starting
point to the latter place is % miles.
The road then goes into San Leandro,
where the start and finish will be To-
Gated.
From San Leandro Ia is proposed to
run out the Hayward road for two
miles, where a turn is made to the
right into the road that leads to the
road used last year. The reason that
Hunter proposed this change is that it
does away with several sharp turns and
cuts out railroad crossing. The dis
lance from the turn to the San Lorenzo
railroad crossing is just a mile and
half further. The contestants will have
to slow up at this point. as a wooden
Dfldse is DelnS replaced with concrete
one.
1t is a fine straight run after leaving
San Lorenzo for over three miles until
Alvarado is reached Here is the worst
turn in the course. The distance from
the start to Alvarado is 14.7 miles. The
other distances are: Alvarado to Cen
terville. As miles; Centerville to Irving
ton, 81 miles; Irvington to Mission San
Jose by way of Tom cabin, 7.3 miles;
Mission San Jose to Niles, 2.3 miles;
Niles TO Hayward, miles: Hayward
to the boulevard and back to High
street, 1871 miles-making a total of
$40 miles. This route can be shortened
by cutting it off at Moss avenue. This
would make a difference of 9.3 milesa
cutting the course down to AIS miles.
The runs and tours committee will have
a meeting today and decide definitely
what the course will be.
