The Interior Department team proved
to be the winning combination, but the

a winning gait, but too late to land them
nearer than third place, but two games
behind the Bureau quint-
Throughout the second, third. and
fourth weeks OF the race they were the
leaders Then the other teams took
turns at furnishing the pace until, when
the Bureau quint struck a bad rut, the
Interiors secured a lead and were never

serving of much praise for his high and
consistent averages, having but fou:
averages below the 18o mark-179-172-
