HARBOUR WINS OVER R0UT

In the most sensational drive ever
witnessed on any race track Caleb

mile match race at the Motordrome be

ing qualities Bragg, the boy WONDER
showed a courage unequaled IN mis-
desperate and successful attempt to
wrest the laurels from the hitherto un-
defeated Barney. And the public, tickle
always and only loyal to a winner,
cheered the youthful driver and admir-
ers carried him around the corral on
their shoulders, while the Oldfeld pit
was in sole possession Of his hired men.
But while the results cannot be
changed, there is another side to the
story. Barney Oldfeld is as true a
sportsman as ever stepped in shoe
leather and showed grit in ever enter
ing the race at all, for it was fore
gone conclusion that while the Benz
car had the power, the car was in it.
self too unwieldy to be let out to its
full capacity on a circular track, and
the resulting contest was not so much
the speed of the car as the ability of
the driver.
Never was prettier headwork used
than displayed by Bragg. Drawing the
pole and getting away good, Barney S
car caught and passed him before the
first half; but trying to keep the pole
was Barney's fatal mistake, for the
upper portion of the track has been but
little used during the meet and was
not in the least slippery from oil and
made safer going, as was found out
Saturday when Bragg took the middle
course. While the outside of the cir
Gle carried the Fiat over a longer
course, Bragg knew he was safe from
pursuit and only figured on speed and
crowding his car to her absolute limit.
Bragg in the last half took the upper
course and maintained It and came the
last quarter at a 110-mile an hour clip,
winning the heat and race in 1:19.4S.

The Lamanda Park baseball team
won victory over the Woodill-Hulse
nine yesterday, the final score in the
contest being to /. The consistent
work of Pitcher Parker and Catcher
Wachob, the battery for the winners
was the feature of the contest, al
though Shortstop Smiths brilliant
work at the short field is worthy of
mention.
Manager o. w. Mills considers that
he has a good strong club and would
like to hear from some fast team for
next Sunday. The Lamandas will lose
their crack twirler Murray Parker,
who leaves for Springfield, Mass, this

The reorganized Teddy Bear baseball
team gave an exhibition of slugglng
and baserunning when they mixed
with the Ontario team on the Ontario
diamond yesterday afternoon. When
the last out had been made in the
long-winded contest the score stood
81 to 4 in favor of the Bears. From

HOUR managers of the Southern Cal
ifornia Trolley league graced the
- grand stand at Rcdondo yesterday
and watched the beach boys go over
tbe twelve-inning route with the visiting
Santa Ana club, and when the goose
eggs strung along it is needless to
say that a smile of satisfaction was
safely written on the features of each.
These leaders in the baseball world of
Southern California were Mccormick,
the big chief mogul of the league;
Crolo, who is titled secretary OF the
same organization, and also CLUB
manager, and Abrams and Judge
Wells, making in all four -of-a-kind
hard to beat. AS the battle strung
along Wells and Crolic, who were the
managers of the contesting clubs, COM
menced shifting uneasily-it is hard
for a true American baseball fan to re-
strain his enthusiasm at an exhibit
tion of the national game, and especial
ly so when he is the leading spirit of
one of the contesting factions. Thls
is the way it was-Crolic would not
for the world say a word that would
hurt the feelings of Judge Wells, and
the same applied to the judge, so
President Mccormick, who was sitting
between the two, got the full erect
of their restrained emotions, Great"
roared the judge as he poked McCor-
mick in the ribs hard enough to have
done credit to Jimma de Jeff's punch
power Fine; slide, you big lubber,
slide!" shrleked Eddie on the other
side, and as the Santa Ana players ar
rived safely at the cushion, amid
cloud of dust, down went Crolic's broad
palm on Jimmy's thigh, making the
president vince as he edged toward
the Judge. But he soon forsook the
sheltering form of the bar of Justice,
as the runner was put out in his at
tempt to steal, and the barrister, with
a snort and glare OF utter contempt at
Eddie, drives his thumb deep into the
softest and tenderest portion of the

MlcHELIN TIRES WINNERS

The wonderful performances OF the
Marmon cars and the Fiat driven in the
match race by Bragg are big red
marks in the Michelin Tire company's
headquarters, for though the contests
in which the cars were entered were
gruelling, the absence of tire trouble
was noticeable. The fact that Har-
roun put the Marmon through the 100
mile race Sunday without having ia
come into the pits is big Michelin
boost, for an examination of the cars
tires at the end of the race showed
them to be in perfect condition.

IDAHO SENATORS
CLASH ON BILL
WAR OF WORDS OVER MEASURE
To DISPOSE OF SURPLUS
WATER FOR IRRIGATION.
Pass Sharp Criticisms and Contradie-
tions.

WASHINGTON. April Is Senator
Warren's bill authorizing the disposal
of the surplus water of the govern
ment irrigation projects to private
corporations was the subject of pro-
longed debate In the senate again.
When Senator Warren moved to
take up the bill no vote was cast IN
the negative and it was believed a
compromise had been reached that
would insure early action. Such did
not prove to be the case.
Senator Hepburn took the position
the states rights amendments would
be of no service and denounced them
as subterfuges and delusions.
Later In the discussion Hepburn
stated the bill had been dictated by
the corporations.
Senator Warren denied such was
the case, saying: Il deny that imputa-
ton. / drew the bill as the result Of
a suggestion from a government on
cial and not in the interest OF any
corporation"
Heyburn's Criticism.
Much of the days criticism Of the
bill by Senator Hepburn was directed
to the omission OF individuals from
the list OF those TO whom The govern
ment may deliver water as provided
by the bill. He commended that the ef-
feet would be to prevent the use Of
water for domestic or mining pur-
poses. Denouneing the bill as "a
legislative crime, he asserted he
could explain the apparent willingness
Of senators 20 permit the measure to

Senator Carter proposed an amend
ment including individual consumers,
but while the amendment was accept
ed By all. the action did not put a
stop TO the discussion.
