well satisfied W Ia the days sport.
The most interesting feature ycster.I
day was the auto race There were
Dhroc entries, Sabcno Gayiu's stripped
Dodge. Buck Snolson's racer. and Bud
Bodelrs stripped Paige car. Snelson's
racer took the lead in the first hun
dred yards and there was no doubt al

/ It struck an even pace after the first
/ lap and after that the crowd settled
! down and only wondered how far IL
would distance its competitors. Buck
might well feel proud Of his little ear,

demonstrated that it is about as fast
as any little car can be made. II l.

make il both speedy and durable, ana
no ordinary car particularly of tn"
/ heavier kind, has any business with il
on half mile track. Only a specially
constructed car. such as ii Is. wouiG

have made a pretty race with il, a
twelve valve Ford, was wrecked in a
race at Ely Monlay while going at d
rate Of ninety allies an hour. Had
this car been brought here as intend
ed, there would have been race
worth goiug mlrs to see.
The Paige is too heavy and too high
in the air for a -mall track. It whip
ped on the turns and had to be slowed
down. In ro@u race or on a larger
track il would make a good showing
