schaefer says that he surely expects be-

ridden I'm this state and In fact I'm the
country no one can afford 10 miss the
opportunity.
In addition 10 the star event the
sprint races should prove secondary
attraction and should whet the appetite
of the specta tors for the main race. The
track is now one OF the finest i'm the
world and can be favorably compared
with any for it's seating capacity as well
as for its general accessibility.
All who have seen the track have mar
veled at the remarkable slant and have
wondered how IL is possible for anything
but fly 10 crawl around. II is true that
no one but a fly could stay on but for the
fact that Stinson and his opponents will

alone will keep them from sliding off.
At each end the track slants at an an

curves down until IL is almost Hat on
