NEW RECORD MADE IN
ALASKA'S BIG RACE
Johnson's Team of Wolves
Covers 2O6 Miles in
Thirty Hours.

NOME, Alaska, April 42.-Setting a rec
ord for the first half of the 412-mile all
Alaska sweepstake dog team race. John
Johnson drove his Siberian wolves into
Candle at : pm. yesterday Johnson S
time of thirty hours for the 2O6-mile
drive is four hours and twenty-three min
utes faster than that made by the Allan
Darling team last year. Fay Delezene
arrived at the turning point three min
utes behind Johnson, having pressed the
leader hard as they neared Candle.
Johnson gave his dogs four-hour rest
at Candle and at o'clock began the
Grive back to Nome. When johnson
left Candle Delezene. "Scotty" Allan and
lllayok, d native driver, were resting
their dogs there.
All the teams are in good condition,
but Allan's appear freshest. When he
unhitched his dOdgs at Candle they began
to rOmp and frolic in the snow johnson
is still carrying on his sled the dog that
wrenched leg during Thursdays drive.
Delezene, Allan and Illayok remained
in Candle several hours. They believed
the longer rest would enable their dogs
to overtake Johnson before he reached
Gold Run, thirty miles toward Nome.

Ambition Of Rival Managers Seems to Be to Beat Out WaSg

agains the Mackmen last season, either
of them may start the series and johnson
may be held for Tuesdays game, which
would give his an extra days rest.
Griffith naturally is very anxious to win
from the Athletics, one fthe teams
which he figures he must beat out in or
der to have chance for the flag, and he
may use johnson Monday in the hope of
getting start on his rivals.
There is little danger of Ray Morgan
being suppIanted by any of the utility in
fielders Griffith is carrying this year.
Morgan gives evidence OF becoming a
most capable second baSeman with more
will hold his own with the bat. Laporte.
of course. will remain a member of the
team. He will be used as a pinch hit
ter and in the event of injury to one of
the regulars can make good at either
third Or second. 1t is most likely that
Griffith will carry all of the three extra
infielders he now has on his list. Gedeon.
Laporte and Williams. Griffith stated
this morning that he had made no ar
rangements to place Williams with some
mionr league club, as he had not made up
his mind as to what utility players he
would carry.
The surprising feat of Hub 'Perdue
when he shut out the Giants on opening
day is being explained by Manager Sta l.
ings. who reveals the secret that Perdue
has quietly acquired spit ball which sur
prised the Giants. Until the Boston
team went into training this spring, Stall
ings contends Perdue had never tried to
use the splitter. that he got him to try it
and that he mastered the art of throwing
1t in a very few days. Perdue. accord
ing to Stallinss. will be a wonderful
pitcher this year because the spit ball
having an advantage because there are
decidedly few pitchers in the old league
who use this delivery.
