LIVELY RACE PROMISED

The event OF the week In the racins
game will be the meeting OF Joe Nelson
Spooners protege and record breaker,
and Basil De Guichard. the young
Frenchman who defeated Stinson at the
Colosseum last Thursday evening. The
ma nagement Of the track secured the
match which is for 5000 a side and was
brought about by a meeting between the
lads at Boston when the Frenchman' s
motor went wrong. In that race Nelson
cracked the records averaging miles at Z

Frenchman stated that his boy could do
as well. and one word led 10 another,
hence the match.

Colosseum and the pair is booked TO go 20
miles In bnck OF two OF the fastest mo-
tors In the world. Nelson will start out
