 CALIFORNIA SITUATION

Chairman Richard Kennerdell of the A. A. A. Contest Board thus sums up the automobile racing situation in Sauthern California;
 Reduced to exact facts, the contest situation in Los Angeles consisted of the existence of a club to control through it's own committees, all con- tests in Southern California, in ad- ditiOn to receiving for the secretarial expenses $500 a year, which sum had gone to the secretary of the club. It IS true that this arrangement was made without any terminating date; but it had become impossible for us to continue such plan, as other clubs in. various parts of the country were about to ask for a similar arrangement. Undoubtedly the race promoters in Los Angeles were disappointed in that the Vanderbilt Cup and Grand Prize races this yeav took place at the Pa mama Pacific Exposition, these same promoters having had these events in the previous year. A rainy period in San Francisco caused apOstpOnement of the Vanderbilt Cup Race-the most important racing event of the entire country-and so it was necessary to change the date at Venice, which is in the Los Angeles district. The leading figure of the race promoting associa- tion, peeved at the Venice postpone ment. made a dishonest attack on the A. A. A. Contest Board for granting a sanction to the Ascot tract. which
 
 approval by the contest committee of the club in Los Angeles. The club did not resent this indirect attack upon it's own committee.
 As the chairman of the A. A. A, Contest Board, I could hardly have kept my own self respect nor that of my fellow members, to have allowed this kind of criticism to pass unno- ticed: and I resented it to the extent of insisting that the race promoter in question should be dropped from any participation in the Venice event.
 "The secretary of the club in Los Angeles naturally may have felt az grieved at the loss of the $600, and of course the contest committee of the club, realizing that it's continuance was only a question of few days. filed it's resignation before I was able tc discuss with the club the proposition of placing a representative in Los An geles on exactly the same basis as ex- ists all over the United States. This representative on.lthe Contest Board would have been named by the club and the board would have dealt witt him instead of with a committee.
 "This is all there is to the situation except that the club decided that be cause it could not have it's special pri vilege continue, it would discontinue it's relations to the national organiza tion. Of course the Contest Board vii continue it's work and the A. A. A. wil follow out its other plans as sched uled"

 FIRST VICTOR
Over the State Champion Tempe High Baseball Team - Grassic Invinci- blc-Sugar Kings Solve Deans for II Bingles
Special to the Republican

GLENDALE, April 17.-Tempe went down to it's first defeat this season, when the state championship baseball team met A. Grassie and his supporting Sugarkings. Not since the high schools started playing has such an interesting game been un- hooked.
 Grassie kept the Tempests swatting the air at times when a good base hit would have meant much to the visitors. Deans, for the Tempe high however, proved less of a problem and the locals solved him for eleven bingles.
 In spite of several errors, the field ing was rather fast and clean. The loss of three players by disqualified ton certainly weakened the cham pions-at least. this fact made the Glendale sluggers a better match for the visitors.

After six lively sessions over the prepared roadways of five Pacific
 coast cities, the members of motor

 at Oklahoma City where a 200-mile
 road race is scheduled for April 22nd;
 others have shipped direct to Indiana

 they make their respective headquar-

 drivers remain at home, refitting their
 cars for the next invasion of the "big
 leaguers."
 The close of the coast circuit marks
 a pause in the racing season which
 permits a resume of the winter com petitions.

 winners at Corona and Venice, the

The Peogeut had failed to finish at Corona and San Diego. Resta declined the issue at Venice and Tucson.
