one lap. The old timers sly foxes, ana
they watch their rivals all the time. and try as
they will the rivals cannot catch the old fellows
mapping.
Miller plainly shows the effect OF his ride ana
his friends say that he was not in the best OF con-
dition at the start He says that this Is the last
time that he will enter in race Of this sort
Waller on the contrary. says that he likes the
relay system much better than the continuous
grind and that while he has been racing more
or less for the last fifteen years. he hopes TO be
able to keep ii up for fifteen more. GiTnm ana
Pierce are also doing good work. and are tied FOR
second place one lap behind the leaders flscher
and Chevallier are only four laps behind Gimm and
Pierce Pierce's friends watching him closely
