tipathy against amateur drivers. He
made the lives OF the unfortunate men

field which simply outclassed tho others.

pushed, the best time being 2:l5, only
working out mile for him. AS for Che
halls. he is seconds ahead of his field, and
though Ottinger chased him ont in the
first heat coed aud hard. he was never
really IN any danger, and led his field n
great shape. winning the last neat in an
actual walk.
