in the evening.

although won in straight heats. 1t was
in the 2.27 class, however, that the
best sport WAS seen, Carl c. giving
Harry Miller Il close brush in every
heat. In the final heat it looked as if
Carl &. was going to win, but he broke
at the quarter pole while maintaining
Il good lead and went to the rear. but
made 4 splendid rally and finished Sec
ond.
