WILL Be KEEN RACES HERE
FIRST OF MOTORCYCLE RACERS
ARRIVE IN CITY TODAY TO TRY
OUT TRACK.

"Ill break a record or break a leg,
said Clyde Simmons, of the Excelsior
motorcycle racing team, when ne reach
ed Salem this morning to be on hand
for the Cherry fair motorcycle races.
Simmons is the first of the motorcycle
racers to reach the city to try out the
fairgrounds track, but reports that Carl
Rose will probably be down tomorrow
with 2. l.. Abbot of the Harley. David
son team. The Indian team will be
here to try the track tomorrow with
q special array of racing machines, and
the Merkle people are also arranging to
make strong attempt to clean up the
Salem races.
c. II. Mead, manager of the West
Coast Supply company, wrote to Watt
Shipp that in addition to the seven and
four.horsepower ported Merkel ma
chimes and the regular seven-horsepower
stock which were previously announced
that the Merkel factory had consented
to send a, seven-horsepower special
stripped stock with rideF especially
for the Salem races
Simmons brought three machines with
him, a seven-horsepower ported machine
that holds the world s record for the
the dirt track Simmons will ride all
of these machines in the races and will
make an attempt each day to break the
world S record for mile dirt track.
He won the three mile, the five mile
and the ten mile races at the recent
meet at La Grande and broke the track
record for single cylinder machines at
thar place, doing tne halfmile in 81
seconds, the former record for the La
Grande tracks being SO.
The fairgrounds track is reported to
be in good condition as the light show
ers to date have been a benefit to the
track, but continued heavy rains are
likely to slow down the time. How
ever as the races do not start until
Friday afternoon and the track is well
drained, it is thought that the race
meet can be pulled off without hitch.
At any rate, the men who are at pres
ent in the motorcycle racing game are
in it because of their nerve, and as it
only requires more nerve to ride on a
slippery track than on a dry one, they
are ready to promise the necessary
courage.
The races will be started at o clock
both on Friday and Saturday after
Moons.

If he thingks I'm going to carry the
fight to him, however, and let him bat

Johnson huge sum to ''lie down"
