MOTORS INSTEAD OF DOGS
Trip Over the Cascades In a Gasoline
Sleigh Was a Distinct
Success.

A spectacular trial trip was recently
made across the Cascades in a motor
sleigh, and a number Of photographs,
taken at various stages Of the journey,
are reproduced in Popular Mechan-
les. The achievement Of the motor
sleigh was almost as amazing as that
CT the first army tank, conQuering. as
it did, all kinds of obstacles. Swimming
the surface of snowfalls, old or new,
the strange little vehicle broke its way
through primeval passes with never a
stumble. The rescue of an automobile,
hopelessly stalled In the drifts of Sno-
qualmie pass, was a mere incident in
its progress. Crossing a deep gully on
a pair Of hemlock poles was but one of
the days adventures. The intended
substitution Of the motor sleigh for the
dog drawn sledges of Alaska's snow
bound post trails means more to the
people Of that great territory than may
be generally realized. Jack London and
others have limned the malemute as a
romantic figure; but the followers Of
the trail know we'll he Is never that. It
is the elimination Of much human hard
ship, as well as canine inefficiency, that
recommends the gasoline method.

Proud Of His HProfessIon.~

Burglars who served in the army
are going back to their old trade" said
a London police official the other day.
"These men deliberately elect to live
by stealing because they find 1t adven-
turous. It was with the same spirit
that they Joined the army. At least
one convicted burglar won the Victoria
Cross" Confirmation Of this charac-
teristic is provided by a captain In a
famous fighting regiment, who declares
that one Of the bravest men In his
company, a corporal with Dom. and
other honors. declared himself a pro-
fessional thief. His one regret" re-
marked the officer. twas that the re-
cruiting authorities would not let him
describe his occupation ON his attesta-
ton papers as burglar

BRAXTON WINS FEATURE
RACE OF BOYS MEET

With an entry list numbering more
than 120, the first annual track and
field meet for junior boys between the
ages of ten and fifteen years was run
off at Cardova playground yesterday
All events were holly contested and
considering the ages Of the contest
ants, many creditable performances
were made. In the 95-pound class,
running in a field of forty-five boys,
W. Braxton, representing the Y. M
c. A, breezed in winner in very fast
time. Pressing him closely came Hen
derson of Mott. who proved to be the
largest point winner of'the meet. and
then followed Howell of Armstrong.
Another feature was the wonderful
sprint in the lightweight relay. by
Larry.
The field events Vf high jump. broad
jump and midget races were trans
ferred to the Y. M. c. A. and will be
run off at a date to be announced
later. At present the points won by
individual teams are: Mott. 20; Y. NJ
c. A.. jrs., 10: Armstrong. IL; Dun
bar. Z. and Randall. 3. Miner Normal
C. c. and Lincoln Temple B. C. were
unable to place in the scoring, through
lack of sufficient participants.

It is possible that the sectional
doubles Of the middle Atlantic tennis
tourney. which began on the Columbia
Country Club courts yesterday. may
be completed today. Play in this
class narrowed down to five Of the
twenty pairs entered. Connie" Doyle
and Fred Harris. favored to win the
event, and Alexander and Thomas
reached the semi-finals in the lower
half, and Ballard Moore and Dudley
Morgan made this stage in the upper
section with L. l. Doyle and Harold
Selden. and John Hancock and Capt.
Miller advanced to the previous
round.
1t is planned to play the champion
ship match about 4:30 this afternoon
unless the winner Of the L. !. Doyle
Selden VS.. Hancock Miller contest
should defeat Morgan and Moore in
the upper ha.f semi-final. In such an
event it would require the victors to
play a third contest of the day in the
title cash and this would not be done.
However. Morgan and Moore are
picked to reach the final.
There were no distinct upsets yes
terday, but there was a record-mak-
ing match. In the victory Hancock
and Miller scored over Thad Benton
and Shorty" Price, District junior
titleholders. after four sets OF seven.
ty-three games, the second set went
to the winners at 20-ls, the longest
ever played in a tourney in Wash
ington, and one of the most extended
in the history of the game. Thirty
eight games is above the total Tor
the average three-set match.
l.. I. Doyle and Harold Selden won
the only match that went the limit of
five sets. but they took only fifty
games To defeat William Sweeney and
Stuart Symington, Baltimore's junior
champions. Pay in all the sectional
doubles is the best three sets in Ave.
Play was also begun yesterday IN
the mems singles in which there were
forty -one entries. but no matches of
real interest were decided. Connie"
Doyle and Fred Harris are in the
upper and lower half of the draw,
respectively, and doubtless will meet
in the final.
Competition in the women's singles
is scheduled to get under way today.

Judged from the showing they made
in their initial appearance in the Ameri-
can League yesterday, Robertson and
Murphy should strengthen the Nationals
considerably. Robertson is a spitball
pitcher, who compiled a splendid record
in the Southern Association over q
stretch of several years. and Murphy is
a graduate of the Western League.
According to Ernie EafIigan, the nom
pareil of figure jugglers. all Murphy has
to do in order to become Washington
favorite IS to duplicate in the American
League his National League record OF
1918.
In nine games with the Braves last
year Murphy hatted .375. hitting in
eight runs, and fielded 1000. He was
up thirty-two times and sawed off
twelve hits, half of which were for ex,
ira bases. He doubled twice, tripled
three times and hit for the circuit once,
his homer being gained off Jimmy Ring
Of the Reds in Cincinnati on July 81.
The ball travelled to the flag pole in
center.

SIR BARTON BETTER
THAN BILLY KELLY

AS to the discussion regarding the
relative merits of Sir Barton and
Billy Kelly, their trainer, Bedwell,
settles that himself. He says that
there is no question In his mind that
Sir Barton is the better racer-and
Bedwell ought to know. "Sir Barton
IS great horse-a greater one than
Billy Kelly" said BedYell, "and he
will prove himself far and away the
greatest three-year- of the year
up was rather a mystifying inter-
polation. Sir Barton is a sound horse
and in fine condition and as far as
those outside Of Commander Ross
stable know the Kentucky Derby
winner Is in no danger Of giving
way. Amy horse which can go in the
mud the way Sir Barton did in the
Derby and then win the Preakness
over fast track in a common gallop
must be not only a great horse, but a
mighty sound one.
No other horse ever has won both
the Derby and the Preakness, and IL
Sir Barton accomplishes nothing more
he still will go down in turf history as
a horse among thousands. Sir Bar
tons accomplishment rivals that of
Johren. which won the Belmont, the
Latonia Derby and the Suburban for
Harry Payne Whitney last year. In
the olden days Sir Barton's double
victory was matched by that of
Spokane, the Hyder Ali colt, which
won the American Derby at Chi
cago in 1889, after having won the
Kentucky Derby that year. both races
over the real Derby distance of one
and half miles, as well as the
Clark at Louisville. In 1901 it will
be remembered that the great Com
mando took both the Belmont and
the Carlton. the big three year-old
event at Gravesend Other great
three-year-olds which scored double
victories in major events were Ben
Brush, with the Kentucky Derby and
the Iatonia Derby in 1896; Delhi,
which took the Withers and the
which won the Tidal and the Law

Murphy's most valuable wallop, dur
ing his Boston career. which ended
because he joined the Army, was a
double off A. Rankin Johnson Of the
Cardinals. who, when he was with
the Red Sox. had a habit of getting
into pitching duels with Walter john
son. This hit cleared the bases OF
their three runners. Johnson had just
succeeded Jake May on the rubber
and Murphy was batting in Herzog' g
place.
Murphy bats and throws left-hand-
ed. is Ave feet eight and three quar-
ter inches tall and weighs 1853 pounds
A native of Denver, Col. he celebrated
his twenty-fourth birthday April &c
last. Murphy started with Marshall
town in 1915, and remained there un-
til 1917. when he went to Des Moines
the club from which the Braves got
him. This is his official National
League record:
Games, 9; at bat, 80; runs, s: hits, IL;
