DOPE FAST FADING
BEFORE STARTERS
FLAG AT THE FAIR
Auto Drivers Prepare to Grind
Out the Weary Miles. MANY
Features Make Up After
Moons Program ofEVentS.

Whatever dope has been spread con-
corning the chances of victory in the
auto races scheduled for Saturday aft
ernoon at 2'30 O'Clock at the fair
grounds Is about TO disappear. BY press
time the track will be half hidden by a
cloud Of dust as the daredevils grind
out the speedy miles. As the dope
fades before the starting flag. the situ-
alton rests with the car and the driver.
All further comment viii be but q
bale of junk.
There are several outstanding fea-
lures in the afternoons bill, Of hair
raising attractions.
In the first place there is the at
tempt to be made by Jules Elllngboe,
the Canadian champion, to lower the
seconds. Only last week at Nashville
he made the trip in 80 AS seconds for
q new state figure.
Secondly there is the three cornered
match between Louis Disbrow former
dirt track king; this same Ellingboe
and Dave Koetzla,
Last Polo Game.
Thirdly there is the final game Of
auto polo scheduled for the week
If you think there is no interest in
this most spectacular of games You
are mistaken. 1t has justly proven to
be the stellar attraction of the entire
fair
An outside affair of stupendous local
Importance is the tire changing COL test
produced under the auspices Of the
Memphis Tire Dealers association. 1t
will be sandwiched between events on
the speed program and is bound to be
as big an entertainment as 1t has been
in the past four wears.
The 63S company has brought down
its double champion, Fred Bowling,
from Nashville, to be its representative
in the race. He has an unbelievable
record of having made a complete
change of tire in 4 minutes.
Finally the many friends OF Johnny
Raimey will back his mount In
case he starts in one of the events.
Rainiey has just been discharged from
the army, where he was a first lieu
tenant in aviation and later in the mo-
tor transport corps While at Park field
last year he was slipped permission
to enter the races and the cleaned out

What he viii do this time depends
upon his car. No other change has
been made In the program as printed
