Coast Race
Gets Hotter
By UNITED PRESS

The four first division teams OF
the league were within a .0l9 span
in the standings today as the pen
nant race grew perceptibly warmer
and Portland, Seattle. San Diego
and Oakland throttled into a hlist-
ering lap which may prove too
strenuous for one of them before
the end of the week.
The Beavers, in top position, clash
with the San Francisco Seals, now
in seventh spot, ct Portland. The
series offers a chance for the Ore
gonians to enhance the lead which
suffered slightly last week and was
shortened to two games over Seattle.
The Indians play host to Los An
geleS, the team which appeared for
while to be fulfilling preseason
prophecies that it would finish high
in the first division. The Angels,
however, have not been consistent.
Sacramento still at the bottom
of the heap. moves in on the Mis-
sions and Oakland battles with San
Diego in what should be a crucial
series for the two teams fighting to
stay in the top bracket.
Oakland, in fourth spot, is but
two games in front of the fifth
place Missions.

and put him back in the running
for the years championship.
"Ill show that Herrick plenty of
speed and keep dust in his face all

away his tools.
Herrick, however, seemed unper-
turbed by Davis threats and ex-
pressed confidence in his tiny No.
3 car. "I'll be right in the race"
he said, land Davis will have to be
mighty lucky to win."

dense traffic OF Prague.
Not once during the three mile
drive did this little CzechOslovak-
ian Malcolm Campbell lift his
foot off the throttle. And not
once did he make the slightest
concession to anything on the
streets. Trolley cars, buses, trucks,
cyclists and pedestrians-they all
looked alike to him. He played
traffic exactly as a polOist plays
his rival On horseback. He sim
ply rode them off. You wouldn't
believe that a trolley car, because
of its tracks, could be made to
yield ground. But I swear to
you that twice I saw trolIeys tilt
to one side to make way for our
relentless charge.
We encountered but one stubborn
pedestrian-a street violiniSt. En-
thralled by the music he was play
ing. the violinist, who stood directly
in the middle Of the street, paid no
heed to the wild honking set up
by my driver when we were still q
block away. On he played. And
on we charged, directly toward him.
/ wanted to lean out the win
dow and shout to him: tell him he
was wrong if he believed we would
sWerve around him. because l knew
we wouldn't. We had cleaved a
straight path down the center OF
all the streets since leaving the
station. and humble musician was

course.
I yelled at the driver, but he did
not answer. He was too busy pre-
pairing himself for the impact Of
taxi against violinist. Then we
were upon the musician. Well, if
not actually upon him. we were so
close that / could tell his name was
Josef and that he was "a years of
age lacking five days and that he
was in love with a Tumanion wild
