striving for honors in the track and
field events that it has been found neces-
sary to hold preliminary heats tomorrow

weather bureau would hazard no guess
last night. The best the prognosticator
would say was that today and tomorrow
will be fair and perhaps warmer. II
July follows the example therefore OF
the first two days of the week there will
be fine day for the events.
