mark in the welterweight and middle
weight classes that Fitz held in the mid

champion of both divisions.
This boxers name is Soldier Bartfield.
He has cleaned up every good welter-
weight in the world, practically. and hts
claim to the title among the t42-pounders
Is almost undisputed.
The last time Bartfield went out Of
his class TO do battle with a middleweight
was on Decoration day when he fought
Mike Gibbons. recognized as about the

elimination trials. but also for fully a
fortnight Of practice preliminary to them
the entry blanks for the opening race at
the Sheepshead Bay speedway on Satur-
day, October ?. have been issued, Racing
experience this season has still further
convinced the sheepshead Bay speedway
corporation management Of the wisdom
OF a race that can be started at II o'clock
and entirely completed in less than four
hours. giving suburban and distant race
goers ample time to catch outgoing trains
after having seen a thrilling 100 mile-an-
hour battle between start TO finish So
It Is that there has been no change in
the $50 miles distance for the race tenta-
lively announced earlier In the season.
The race will be for the American cup
and prizes aggregating 10000 in cash. To
give wide distribution OF money and
insure big field continuing in the race
to the end the purse has been split as
follows: Fret $4,000; second ,1o,C'0;
third, $500: fourth. $1,000; fifth. $1,000;

tlon trials will be run on Friday and Sat
urdsy, September "a and 25. and on Mon
day, September r. Each car must show
at least elghty-five miles an hour ON a
one-lap test and make one trial each dav.
Additional cars to the thirty-two start
ers who have made over eighty-five miles
an hour will be placed on the starting
list I'm the order OF their speed and will
move up into the starting list In case any
of the original thirty-two ellgiblos are
withdrawn This will not only insure
a full field up to the limit but will give
recognition on the program of the official
speed records they have made in the
elimination trials, Liberal conditions
have been made as to the return OF the
entrance fee of $500 This will be re-
funded to all starters.

Three times before that the Soldier
