ers, purse $4,000, the feature event
of the first day, was rather cheap
affair from racing standpoint. o.

Racing starts at Kalamazoo,
Mich, the second meeting of the

Nash, 2:01H: Directum ], 2.0lH;
I'm, 2:024; Verlie Patchen, 2:02A,
and Lillian T, 2:0234. William,

announced recently that he would
not start, as Marvin does not think
he is quite up to three-heat Cruel

shown in an exhibition mile some
time during the week.
