the headliners on the bill, and sh ,uld
Mac and Willie, who are at logger
heads and will both go dead to win.
The quarter-mile professional cham
pionship Is going to be one of the best
races of the titular series. Frank Kra-
mer, Jackie Clarke. Al Gouliet, Joe
Fogler and Walter De Mara are all
great quarter milers, and there is go
ing to be some great battling N the
heats, semi-1nals and the final If this
race.
Hippo De Mara, who has just got
ten back from a triumphant racing
tour abroad, is the dark horse in the
race, Inc is liable to slip one over on
the stars. Hippo" brought back some
swell French clothes and a wonder
full jump n sprint that will cause a
lot of trouble.
Husky Hippo was riding French
style match races and has acquired
just the sort of sprint that will give
him a fighting chance tonight.
Kramer and Clarke have q great re-
spect for De Mara in a quarter-inilc

night. Two years ago, on the old Veit-
drome, Hippo ran Kramer off his feet
in a quarter-mile championship, and
wal only beaten by two inches by
Jackie Clark, who had the advantage
OF a sleigh-r ride all the way. De Mara
