That the California drivers Of rae

according to the Tucson Citizen.
"Tetzlaff. who left Phoenix last night

Tucson races" said Tremaine
He said also he was convinced that
all the California drivers would be
more than willing to race to Tucson
and race on the Speedway i: purses
were hung up. sufficient To- merely pay
the expenses provided they won.
'Tetzlaff will make pathfinding run
between Phoenix and Tucson sometime
before September S. He will find the
road a good one. II the races are ar
ranged. Tetzlaff will drive his Fiat A.
in the road race. and his racing car, a

considered that the best time for hold
ing the races would be just after the
