CYCLISTS WILL GATHER AT HAYWARDS FOR BIG RACE - San Jose Mercury-news, 26 April 1903
WILL COMPETE IN HUNDRED-MILE MOTOR PACED RACE - San Jose Mercury-news, 14 May 1903
The contest was one of the cleanest ever ridden, only one feature marring the sportsmanship of the event. The guilty party was Hables of the California cyclers, who rode the sixth relay, leading through this city. He was 11 seconds behind P. Maggini at the start of the relay and nearly 6 minutes in the rear of the Oakland and New Century wheelmen. Before the relay was finished Hables had caught the New Centuries and the Oakland and Bay City wheelmen. Instead of following the course he cut off about three miles on McLaughlin avenue in East San Jose.
...
Because of change of pace among the New Centuries, Oaklands and Bay Citys and the unfair riding of the California Cyclers these four clubs became bunched and gained a little on P. Maggini, but made fine time through the city. Peterson took the packet at the beginning of the seventh and he gained on his opponents by nearly half a minute. The great ride against heavy odds was made by Chaboya on the eighth. He broke the record over this relay by over two minutes and that on a punctured tire. His time for his course was 26:30. He placed the packet in the hands of Dieffenbacher nearly five minutes ahead of his pursuers. While crossing the bridges on his relay Dieffenbacher punctured his tires in many places and had to change wheels with Harden, his trailer, and lost considerable time. He gave Waibel a good lead and the clever rider on the final relay sprinted down the course at a 26:18 clip, which is the record over this course.
...
Sixth relay - P. Maggini (G. C. W.), 11:57:50; Shaw (N. C. W.), 12:02:10: Hancock (O. W.), Long (B. C. W.) and Haubles (C. C. W.), all tied at 12:02:40.

Garden City Wheelmen World Famous. - San Jose Mercury-news, 6 September 1906
The ride from San Jose to Centerville, a distance of 20 miles, was made at a moderate gait. The morning was ideal and every one was in good spirits. The roads were fine and the antics of a few irrepressible ones - Plinn Maggini, Ben Murphy and others - prevented the ride being monotonous, and the merry hum of a hundred tires and the whirr of wheels were inspiring to the true devotee of the wheel.
