Just fi mile hack of Joe Woltens in 3:HS:22 1-5, giving first and second places and the undisputed long distance supremacy so tar this year to the Harley Davidsons. Marty Graves, his eight valve Indian shooting perfectly, l.ut his tires giving Inm trouble, lost enough time in the pits. o that even his excessive speed could not gain him any better than third place. I.f.renzo Boido. stricken at several joints In the race, with varoius trouhles finished with a poor cylinder, in time lo grab fourth money. Frank Montgomery, after having been in the pits long enough to have rebuilt n motorcycle, led his ported Kx oelsior to the track with eighty miles reeled off, about the time Wolters was finishing his 160th mile, and when flagged off after Roido had scored hie 20th time, was awarded fifth money. No others finished. In the canvass topoed pits along the quarter-stretch of ih(- half mile track, were strewn the hopes of the Merkel team, those of the Kxcelsior when Bob Perry went wrong ami two Indians those of Ger ig and o'Connell. So that Just half the entries remained in the running when Starter J. C. Adams wagged the check ered flag on Wolters. Impressions of the Race Consistent running, without lire or other troubles won for the Harley-Da-vidsons and their Firestone rubbers. In much the same manner as that of Old lield and Carlson in the Tucson race last .March, Wolters anil Crandall shot around the curves, eating up the niihti in a steady, nnfliistered manner. In spite of all announcements to the con trary, it is not probable that either of the winners did any laps in less than ri seconds. In the beginning, after Marty Graves had shot into the lead, the two gray ma hines began acting exactly lifc? those of I'arkhurst :nd Artley in the track events Iat fair week. Wolters, 1 who "managed'- Crandall, kept the IX- year-old local boy at his elbow for ini.es and miles, setting the pace that his world of experience told him would keep the tires in the best condition. And at the finish, the condition of the two b:: k casings justified Joe's con tinual directions to his less experienced riding partner. C'randall escaped from Wolters' leash for a while, during Joe's one visit to the pits for gas and oil and began dipping the miles faster than the old head desired. This resulted in a call fiown, and when C'randall had again been caught, he came in for a signaled cussing. Crandall's rear tire was worn to the fabric, while Wolters was certainly able to do another hun dred miles, a fact which proves the wisdom of Wolters' ride. Graves A Surprise The riding of Martin Graves was a revelation. Having hung back in the practice and elimination miles. Graves gave out the impression he was able to cut 51 seconds with some difficulty. Put once in the race, he began reeling off the miles in astonishing time WINS III 13TH SCORE 5 ID 2 j Smiley Smitten for Three !

But when five or nine chances of evening things were slaughtered mercilessly by a well intention but very erratic umpire. the matter ceased to be funny, or even interesting. Of course nobody can tell whether or not Smiley So noqui would have beaten the vl siting batters in the first of the thirteenth had Sterling not assisted, but the fans love to believe that the threa hits off Smiley would not have happened had everything else been well. The same combination that sent Hester over in the seventh, scored him again in the ninth with the ty ing run. And after that, no Sena tor got as far as third. This was mostly because Jordan positively re fused to permit any accumulation of s;fe hits in any one inning. And th:t isn't all this remarkable pitch ing chap did for his country,. His two base wallop in the thirteenth scored the run that broke the heart of the Phoenix offense, and made it easy for him to do things to the lo cal batsmen in the last half It started out like a regular 'oid pitching duel. MeCreery had every member of the visiting duo on Ii's list that morning. And then disaster f! me along in the seventh, bearing a couple of hits ard a boot, and bine: Jusi like that, Albuquerque hid a little lead that the locals simply couldn't overcome. Twice, the Phoenix infield yanked the pame out of the fire with :apid double plays. Once. Bill PowliiM slipped the ball and made it be irood c.tr to MeArdle and the tast es' two outs occuired that most everybody in the park had ever seen. This is how things happened to Smiley in the thirteenth, after he had consistently held the Dukes for five innings: Husky Carman took the ball on his shoulder, so he says, and got a base. The ladies fair wasted con riderable sympathy on him. Charles French executed a safe bunt, which is a habit he has, when not en;iageii- in getting hit on the shirl -s'eeve. Billy Dodge's double organized an out force out, wlen he grounded to Hester and Hester nipped Carman at third the only decision of the game that smacked of blindness in Phoe nix's favor. But it was no use. Herriott hit to right for one, and JCutt lost the ball, permitting two to score where only (Continued on Page Seven) ARMORED RIDERS CROUCH OVER DUSTY MACHINES! IN RACE WITH .CLOCK HANDS By LYLE ABBOTT Crouching hooded riders with pil lows in their buzzums a. couple of lines of five each faced J. C. Adams yesterday in the evening, and got away on the first two century grind ever promoted" on a mile track. Fiv.? of them won glory, and five wisdom in chunks of greater or less size. It was twenty minutes to three when everybody got through fussing around, swearing at us poor of ficials for not having got our stop watches all together. Referee John Hohl directed his national guard cadets to can us all off the grounds if we didn't be good. So everybody in the sunny boxes had to tend strictly to business, and enjoy the soda pop as best we might. That part of the race which was clearly visible to the spectators as sembled, was the part between huge clouds of dust. As a matter of fact, those ten machines just about tor" j up an acre or two of Salt River j valley soil and the unkind wind : shifted it indiscriminately over the ! adjoining fields and us. ' One would see groups of riders perhaps no two of thein in the same mile, as far as their laps j went, grind into a turn and spit ! f ire at each other in exciting little brushes. There were several races within the big race, which relieved the monotony somewhat and brought ; the people cheering to their feet, i While the motor makers and the I tire makers and the others were all j winning great fame for themselves, : the yellow budged officials were perspiring and kidding each other I in the stands, with tense intervals ' as the checkers announced leaders j finishing ten-mile laps. I Then, out would come the stop I watches, and for a few seconds, ! nerveless, efficient hands would ; grasp these delicate instruments and 'the iiiick eyes would survey the hands that were flying almost as fast around their two-inch dials as those adorable mechanisms were circling the mile track. Folks, we are right here to inform you that it was .SOME race between these motor cycles and the little steel pointers on the watches.
