SOME FACTS ABOUT

with reference 20 the Lawson kra-

disqualified. the Newark News has the
following to say:
ION the start the men were on slow
again, and throughout the heat there
was jOckeying galore. Il was coming
90 the fourth lap OF this when Law
son made his steal The positions had
been changing rcpeatedly. but at this
point Kramer was first with Clarke
on his wheel. and Lawson about three
lengths back The trio was on the
South Orange avenue turn and going
slowly. when all OF q sudden Lawson
let loose. He shot down behind the
other two, Whzzed by them before
they hardly knew what was happen
ing and got the lead. Kramer. how
ever. saw Lawson was below the line
when the Swede went by. and he i'm
mediately put up his hand In protest.
at the same time holding back from
