ARM0REO TRUCK AT CALIFORNIA EXPOSITION

Considerable interest attaches it. self to the display by the United States government of the Jeffery Quad truck with the armored body, on which is mounted a rapid fire gun, at the San Francisco exposition
 This is the only armored truck ex- hibited by the United States govern ment and is duplicate in many ways of the Jeffery Quad trucks which have found such big demand on the part of European buyers dur ing the war.
 The Jeffery Quad was selected by the United States government only after exhaustive tests had been car ried out in the vicinity of Kenosha Wisconsin, where the Jeffery is manufactured. These tests included driving through mud that was over the hubs. glowing through freshly titled ground, climbing 35 per cent grade. and in fact, doing features oi work which have hitherto been deem ed impossible for any motor driver | truck.

Irwin S. Cobb, the correspondent and author, was talking in Philadelphia about the German Jack Johnsons," those deadly shells which explode with tremendous discharge of greasy, black smoKe.
 Those shells" said MT. Cobb "are to ordinary shells as a bucking horse of the plains is to park hack.
 "A tenderfoot once mounted a bucker in Tin Can. He was hardly on before he was off again-off over the bucker's head.
 Whats the matter? said Three Finger Hoover
 Why, she bucked,' said the tender foot

 The student team. which is made up of representatives of three schools of the Hawaiian Islands. the College of Hawaii, Oahu College and Mckinley athletes. They are all well educated speaking the Englis language without trace of accent, and possess manners which puts most Americans in the background
 The visiting team has been in this country about two weeks and in that time have been playing on the coast,
 winning four and losing three games there. This is considered some record, as the teams they stacked up against were coast league organizations. made up of veterans far older than the stu dents team which averages in age about nineteen years.
 Kau, in charge of the team, is the star pitcher of the aggregation. The San Jose papers went into mysteries, | raving about his spit ball and mar velous slow ball. He was given some send off when he left that place. It is expected that he will be in the box to- day. The team carries four pitchers of whom he is said to be the best.

BAKER FITTED
 F0R LONG RUN
I'ranscontinental Record Dash on Motorcycle prov ed HOosier Could Stand Calf; Now Proposes Auto Trial
Can Baker cut the automobile re-

Can Baker cut the automobile re- cord across the continent?
 That is the question that motcr- cyclist as well as automobile men are arguing all over the country, where the story of the big Hoosiers plan has penetrated.
 On his recent visit here, Baker dis cussed the matter quite fully. He pointed out that:
 Conditions have changed greatly since the Rec car was driven across the middle of the continent Roads are better, and cars are being built more like stayers. In 1910, six driv- CTS, alternating at the wheel and in the pullmans-three to a shift, drove almost day and night, and sent a Rec car from San Francisco to New York on an almost direct line in 15 days and ten hours If I have de- cent weather conditions this spring, 1 shall drive my Stutz Bearcat from San Diego to New York, over exact ly the same road I used on the mo- torcycle ride, in less than fifteen days-much less. I know thes route thoroughly from my previous voyage, and if l can stand to ride a two wheeled hack across in record time, guess I can sit behind a steering wheel and make it."
 Baker Fitted For Task
 Bill Sturm, the Indianapolis news paperman who will ride with Baker says:
 Tt would be hard to pick a man better fitted for the tremendous task that Baker has selected than the Old Warhorse himself. He possesses in rare degree all the qualities re- quisite to make the trip a success. He is thorough mechanician and an auto driver who can not be tempted into abusing his car.
 If Baker decides that he can drive over the desert with safety to the car at only twenty-five miles an hour. twenty five miles will be the speed and no more. He won't be tempted into a burst of temporary speed that Will land him in a ditch or washout with the car upside down. He proved that he had the stamina on his previous trip. He averaged 293 miles a day, some days riding as high as 400 miles. There are stretches of desert in the first thousand miles where a breakdown will mean the trip is over. For miles over this desert the only living things are snakes and gila monsters. It is a hundred miles from one inhabited spot to another.
 If Baker can put this trip across in record time it will be the biggest thing in road events ever staged Ba- ker will check in at the various A. A. A. affiliated clubs along the route in order to get signatures to prove that he has covered the distance. He will get signatures from postmasters. also. Baker will drive every foot of the way himself in order to make it strictly one-man drive

Al Rhodes Led the Process sion Over the Speedway, Followed to the Close by the GncOnsidered Mr. Crandall
By SCOOP

TUCSON, March 2O.-That speed test which Al Rhodes won on the speedway was not necessarily a mot orcycle race In reality, it was an argument between rival motorcyclists of Phoenix and Tucson. Never before was there such display of eager ness on the part of a flock of two- wheeler sharps to win race.
 As Rhodes was know nto have the faster machine of the two entered from Tucson, and as the Phoenix visitors figured Boido as their best bet, the race was thought to lie be- tween them. But they figured with out Harry Crandall, who started to- ward the last and began overtaking the folks right away. When they lined up we were informed that the job of starting had been piled onto us. so at 130 we managed to set Ellie Wilson headed south and a lit tie bit up and down. Ellie tore out of the west gate of the fair grounds like bat out of a well known torrd region. and the race was on-as the,- say.
 Boido certainly developed speed the first time around the 4.3 mile course. He led Wilson by a thousand yards as they turned into the east gate past the stands and out over tine desert. But this lead did not remain long. for back of him thunderej Dusty Rhodes. Tucson's hope, bear ing Tucson money, greeted each time by deafening cheers. When Rhodes "got " Boido. his packers went wild. for it was the first time good old Dusty had ever been out in front-in all the long years he had been motorcycling.
 Boido kept dropping back, unable to get the best speed out of his bor- rowed motor.
 Crandall, who rode his own Merkel went out to maintain a steady pace and managed it SO well that it land- ed him the coveted second money Crandall finished back of Boido, brt had Lorenzo on elapsed time as tn, racers got away fifteen second. apart SO

PACIFIC GAS TEAM |s BETTER THAN BANKERS
Team Composed of Meter Readers Easily Vanquishes the Phoenix
 National Bank Crowd

Putting on high pressure and throw ing the main wide open, so that the meter was going around so fast that no one could count it. the baseball team representing the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. easily dusted off the West Washington street diamond yesterday with the aggregation representing the Phoenix National bank.
 The game was fine. as long as il lasted, but that was the trouble, if didn't last long enough, at the end of the seventh inning the bankers had sent for an adding machine. and with it's aid computed the number of hits gleaned from their star pitcher, Bur- ridge, also the number of runs, which after much figuring and computing proved to be thirteen to their six, de- cided that it was time to call it a game, and discount the rest of the time to play at the current rate of interest.

innings In the sixth the Coyotes scored two runs tying the score. In the last of the eighth the Indians scored another run. In the Coyotes panel of the ninth they failed to score. The high schools hopes were up when Westfall made the Indians hit right into the hands of the outfielders. With two out and two strikes, Baker man aged to get to first and assisted by Buffers bluff when he was on second, managed to tie the score. This sent the Coyotes a soaring and through a series of errors they lost the game by one run Westfal pitched a pretty game and the whole Coyote team played fine ball up to the ninth inning when Buffers bluff sent them up up up into the clouds.
 Quail played the whole game until his arm gave out and he was substi tuted by Witt. They had to use four teen.
