Illus and Game but thirty-five yards
back of the tape. On the pistol crack
they sprinted along the dirt, and with
the advantage of the level stretch. got
up such speed that they caught Tur-
vile and Chapman before they had
rounded the turn. After that it was a
farce Turville and Chapman played
neat game by riding high on the next
lap and then burning down the stretch
so as to shake off the others, but they
could not keep up the furious pace nee
essary to make UP the lap the others
had gained, and Game and Julius won
