WILL COMPETE IN HUNDRED-MILE MOTOR PACED RACE - San Jose Mercury-news, 14 May 1903

It was all Garden City wheelmen from first to last. Not one of the other clubs were in the running, and after the second relay they never so much as caught sight of one of the riders wearing the "fleur de lis." The New Century wheelmen and the Oakland wheelmen fought it out for second place, while the Bay City wheelmen and the California Cycling club were so far in the rear that they never finished. They were at least 8 minutes behind Waibel when he carried the packet across the tape at Central avenue, Oakland.

...

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.

Burnett and W. Chaboya. All these youngsters have had previous experience in road racing. Many are known as being among the fastest amateurs on this coast.
