 Getting Started
 It was dubious and doubtless

 track early yesterday morning to
 take a preliminary look at the course
 Mud reigned supreme. The oval
 was almost perfect sea of mud The wetting it had been treated
 to the night before had done a lot

 Trial trips were impossible. Noon
 came, the time scheduled to start the two wheelers away. and no start was made. pr. Boido in charge waited another hour ard then sent out flock of touring cars to circle round and round in an enueavor to dry things up a little. Fina..- at little after two o'clock. it was decided to send them away.
 The riders lined up two ranks ueep. A start was made. That was as much as it could be called as af ter making one lap. they were Tagged and called in, to give Graves wAo had been stalled. chance 10 get away with the fled. A second

 Johns immediately took the lead away from his more or less reluc- tant rivals, and as has been related. stuck there.

 Lorenzo Boido our own local kid the only Phoenix lad in the race | after Harry Crandall took notice of ms physical condition. was also the llrst one to be Tapped by Johns. He sneaked up and around Boidos flank in the 18th lap
 Montgomery was the first rider to come into the pits. He was also the Ilrst to go out of the race after revision had staged his private fire aXhlpltlon. He was in the pits twice Tor repaairs, and the third time he pulled in with a busted gas tank. decided that it was a bum job andl gave it up.
 After Johns had gone back to fourth place. Boido and Kinney had I fair chance for the money.

 Graves rode a slowe race. but if vas not his fault. His machine ac- lulred quantity of oil in the cylin- Ter heads, while they were trying 70 get started. and never after acted n polite and obliging manner. He would have probably been up in he running had his engine behaved.
 Kinney mounted on a yellow Cy- ,lone was a sort of a dark horse. Tn spite of his dark Coloring, which iidnt appear to be much of a han Heap, he rode a great race. He was after the leaders all the time. and after them hard. It was due to his marvellous and consistent pushing his machine along that he managed to come out second
 Boido got fourth place. though he failed to finish. He was in the last ten miles, when he ran out of gas about 100 yards from the pits, he pushed his machine into the pits and there elected to remain, rather than proceed to the wire. But at hat Lorenzo was a power to be with. He rode hard and used his head. .
