Murray in Buick Runs From Spokane

Gordon c. Murray, driving a 80

Couer d 'Alene to Spokane record Sun
day morning, negotiating the 81 miles
in the remarkable time of 1924.
Murray went out to clip few seconds

necessary to secure possession of the
Spokane Motor clubs trophy, but tire
troubles cut the time down to "a: "a.
A 72-foot leap through the air
taken at Otis Orchards in crossing an
irrigation culvert, was the feature of
the record-establishing run. The dar-
ing driver took the culvert at speed
of rs miles per hour, the car crashing
to the earth on two wheels and ca
vorting about the road in manner
that momentarily made it appear
doubtful whether Murray and WEIGH,

New York, Jan. III. Chandler

amateur golf player of the United

ings by lie aiding authorities. The siz-
teen best players of the year are
ranked by Hugh l.. Fitzpatrick, rec
ognized as the dean of American golt
reporters, in the following order:
II. Chandler Egan, of Chicago; W.

claims to fourth place; he has won a
