walter Rutt. wearing his familiar striped
shirt of black and olive, was the hrst Of the
tfio to appear on the track for the final
ofis mile sprint. Mcfarland. smiling and
confident, was next out, wearing shirt
with vertical stripes of alternate green
3 and,white. Walter De Mara, the youngest
antf.most inexperienced of the three, was
last to appear. wearing Il plain white shirt.
hutt took the lead when they began on
the crucial one mile which had to be run
to;settle the first three prizes after all the
hard riding of the week before. Tho Cali

speed q tribe as he started on the nth
round of the ten lap saucer track.
sEaeb OF the riders had somebody stationed

y.afding the distance ne still had to travel.
Iver Lawson. an old time partner of Nc
Fariand, called out the lays TO the lanky
californian: Jack Neville, Frank Kramer's
trisiner In the summer time, kept De Mara
posted and Bob Hunter used a megaphone
90 tell Walter Rutt how many laps he had
tosgo,
Neither of the others tried to take Rutt o
ead away from him when he gradually hit
ufl the pace as he began on the last half
mile. His speed grew rapidly greater in
tho seventh and eighth laps The pair
behind him bega to show signs OF trying
: foiride around him during the ninth lap.
apt when the bell rang for the last lap
Mcfarland made his jump as the trio
rounded the turn on the Fourth avenue
end OF the track. .
The striped back Of the veteran bumped
ittelf lower and lower as Mcfarland gradu-
nIly cut down the distance between Rutt's
front wheel and his own, and the two were
