 The diamonds are in a medal offer ed by the Pacific Highway Associa- tion to the first car that makes the trip. Lawrence wants to make the trip. Incidentally he wants the dia- monds:
 Ot course, to perform such a stunt one wants a car, and Chester has as- sociated himself with Joe Baudette, a drirer in the Phoenix race, and to- gather they expect to do the stunt in a Cadillac which Baudette has trained SO that it will eat out of his hand.
 The boys will arrive in Phoenix on the night of January 2nd, if nothing happens, as they will leave Los Ange- lee on the nnorning of the first.
