 Worcester leaving Florence after a ] fine run that far, met on the state highway one lone. Jagged pedestrian, who on being revived by an applica- l tion of canteen water proved to be Charles Russell This happened fif- teen miles the other side of Flor i ence, and the plucky walker was trying to make that place on foot, after having spilled and disabled his twin Harley. Worcester took Rus sell back to where R. L. Moore was 1 sitting discOnsolately by his badly punctured Indian. After a long ses- sion with the inner tubes, here, in which Worcester untilized nearly all the tools he carries in his famous motorcycle hip pockets, the three got under sail once more, this time head ed for old Pueblo, Worcester carry ing Russell and Moore riding his h. dian. After three spills in the dark ness along the strange hill road just this side of Tucson, the trio arrived at S:15.

On his return trip, the Phoenix rider slipped but twice between here and the Old Pueblo, and he made his 136 miles, on his one-lunged Indian ir just five hours running time. Once in Florence, he stopped for gasoline and once in Chandler for a drink oi water This is the run that estab- fishes record that will be mighty hard to beat.
