Delmar set the pace so hot for the
frsl half mile in each heat that Ash
line could not stand the come to the
front when Bill William would pull

um Delmar took a string OF fourth

due to responsible for Ashlines de-
feat and of material assistance in

The slow pace, with three starters
- Gillespie, Hoke's Maid and silver
