SAN DIEGO WANTS RACE FROM
FL PAS0 To THE EXPOSITION.
Idea of Harry Locke to Run the Cars From This City
Over the Borderand Through Phoenix During the Ari
IONA Fair Meets With Approval in San Diego; Los
Angeles Plan for Northen Route Race Fails.

X AN DIEGO is taking wen to Harry
- LOcke's suggestion for a race
- from e. Paso to California this
year during the Phoenix fair, over the
BorderIand route.
It may be said at the beginning that
the Los Angeles proposal TO run q
race from Los Angeles TO FL Paso over
the Needles route to Phoenix, then 10
El Paso over the Bordsrland, prior TO
the Arizona fair, viii meet with no
support from FL PasO.
Fl PasO motorists want the race TO
the Arizona fair as a first considera-
ton, for such a race always aids the
fair and the fair management IS always
willing TO add literally 10 the purse
for the racers. The main point, how
ever, is that Los Angeles people know
the Needles route would not be open
during the Phoenix fair, which this
year is TO be late in November, which
is the principal reason Of the Califor-
nrans in suggesting an earlier race
FL Pasoans know that the Borderland
will be open in late November, in De-
cember 0r at any other time 1t would
be solely to advertise "the Borderland
all the way that FL Paso would enter
any such race So the Los Angeles pro-
pOsal is dead before il is born and IL
now remains for Los Angeles either to
embrace the proposal Of Mr.. Locke TO
make the race over the BOrderland all
the way or get out Of the way and let
san Diego and FL PasO pull the race
san Diego wants it and the exposition

Bragg is one Of the most famous

cotton wool and never step off the side

The answer is that Bragg drives sim

all lie has at stake, he takes chances

proved when, during a dirt track race
