ROAD RACE TO
Be IMPORTANT EVENT

The Porto1a road race, which will be
held In San Francisco on January q
is beginning to loom UP as a big event
on the automobile calendar. The speed
season In the east closed with the win
ming of the grand prize cup by David
Bruce-Brown. Most of the motor car
racing will be done on the far coast
until next spring brings back the
speed kings" to this section.
The Portola contest will be watched
with interest by motorists hereabouts.
Local agencies are urging manufac-
turers to enter cars in the San Fran
cisco event. The record-making drive
of Tezteieef at Santa Monica brought
home the fact that California road rae
ing is important. He made faster
time than Bruce Brown at Savannah,
although the distance was shorter.
Reports from San Francisco indicate
that the once drowsy promoters have
finally opened their eyes A thorough
canvass of the factories will be made
for entries. 1t is expected that most
of the prominent drivers will compete.
The contest will be held over that por-
tlon of last years course that runs
from San Leandro to Haywood and
back by way of the boulevard.
