 Gaston Chevrolet, piloting a Monroe | Special. showed great speed for the first half. leading Milton by an eighth of a lap until fouled spark plugs sent him into the pit on the forty eighth lap. Chevrolet missed one and one- half laps and got away to a second start, travelling at a terrific rate of speed for seven laps, when cracked cylinder put him out of the race.
 Omar Toft looked good at the start. leading the field on the first lap and holding a fast pace on the second turn. Toft's engine was not hitting as it should and the local driver fell be- hind but finished second when Chew rolet dropped out of the race.

 Toft. When the racers passed the

 half lap before dropping out.

 passing the local driver on the seven
 ty-fourth lap. Toft picked up a little
 speed, but his engine was not working
