CROWD ON FINISH LINE
 SPO|Ls END OF CONTEST
Edgar Orr Trails Berg and Accumulates the Third Money Jack DOdds' Re markable Race Is Feature of Competition
By LYLE ABBOTT.


 Weaving in and out in the traffic that thickly c;uttered-nOt clustered along Mcdowell road. Lorenzo BOido, Jr. winner of last years San Diego Phoenix race. disgustcdly poked his Indian across the finish line, and amassed a whole S155 first money for his ride from Tucson yesterday.
 Nobody having set any fast pace for MT. Boido he failed to lower Joe O'CunnclTs time of 3:13, made March 70 of this year, running the opposite direction. Boido's official time was S.2I:10.
 J. Y. Berg. who useta be a PhOe- nician, but who now calls Tucson home. came in second on a Harley, and got second money. His time was 3:S1:15.
 Edgar Orr. who wasn't figured to lave a chance. did the fastest riding in the valley, shooting down Me DoweI at much higher speed than any other contestant, and incidentally acquiring third money, in 3:36:4e.
 The most remarkable race of the day, however, was that of Jack Dodds. Dodds, mounted on an Indian, which was. not a racer, was emphatcaliy in the contest. He had never ridden in speed event before, but this initiatory proceeding proved his rid ing qualities. He came in with his machine in better mechanical condi- ton than any except BOido's and Orr
 Al Rhodes, the Tucson favorite finished under great difficulties. his front end having been caved in in .. wash east of Florence. His time was 2:5S:S5.
 The Sad, Sad Story.
 Just as was predicted. Bob Perry had tco much speed for the course. He burst out of Tucson like bat emerging from the well known HadeS, and at the twenty y-seventh mile post had caught every one of the six rid CTS who started ahead of him, eX cept Boido, who was never headed But Perry tried to straighten out a curve. He mounted a hillside, off the road. fell into a gash they had cut to keep the water off the road, and dished his front wheel.
 But Bob was not the first to go on the bum. Harry Crandall, the game little Phoenician, let wash outguess him. seven miles from Tue son. lie Was lIIOHAi NltdA OOl pi the road and was unable to get out from under the machine. Ernest HighfilI came along, lifted the ma chine off him. and he came into town. CrandaH sustained injuries in the groin but will probably be able to race Saturday.
 Frank Sellner froze his engine and went out between Tucson and Flor ence.
 Reynolds. who started second, froze his brake. his clutch went back on him. and the scrap pile claimed him. He went back to Tucson.
 Ellie Wilson blew a tire. had chain trouble, and was lowed into Flor ence. where he became the only mem Der of the cushions club.
 WH COX. who reported through Florence at 1:46, did not check at the fair grounds, and nobody had heard from him when the control closed.
 Sullivan. the Los Angeles entry got all dented up in wash and lImped back to Tucson.
 Five Out of Twelve.
 Five out of the twelve riders who started. finished. Those five came through without tire or mechanical trouble All but orr rode Firestone tires. which tickled a gink named stewart Slosson half to death. Slos- son is the Firestone representative for motorcycle tires. and he followed the race in an auto. Arrived last evening and got chummy with Ed Rudolph and Pink Flickinger-you know them.
 Boido could have ridden back over the course without trouble. His motor-as was that of Orr's. was shooting fine at the finish. Berg was in good shape except for his lack wheel. which was blame wabbly, due to a collision with a bridge.
 Mild Profanity.
 This is nice newspaper. It l wouldn't dc to tell in it what we | think of the double dyed boobs who got in the way yesterday. We don't know if the authorities ordered Me DoweI road closed or not. but it's sure they spoiled the finish by neglecting this point. We will be against any other auto or motorcycle road race, until they get so they can keep a bunch of simps off the road
