 IN FRONT IN FIVE MAIN
 EVENTS OF RACE PROGRAM
Walker Wins 25-Me Arizona Championship in Record Time-Burns Clips Three-Fifths of Second from Mile Record-Grandstand Railing Gives Way and Woman Is Injured

Walker and Burns had raced around the track neck and neck for the en- tire distance. Hepburn had apparent ly figured to stay 90 yards or more back of his opponents until the last two or three miles when, by bursts of speed, he planned to pass them, but he misjudged the speed of his rivals.
 Walker finished in front in this event, nosing out Burns by less than d length, and Burns, inturn, had less than two lengths over Hepburn in third place. The time was II minutes 31 seconds.
 Speaking of Speed, Ehl What?
 The five-mile novelty race for local riders only was athrilling event. There were the local speed demons, the pick of the city, tearing around the track at the tremendous rate of speed of, oh say, 25 or 30 miles an hour. Under the rules of the race, the riders were obliged to stop every mile, dismount, rack up their machines. run around the same, and start again. Wilson, on an Indian, won in a "gallop," with Harry Crandal on a Harley-David- son I1mpIng home in second place. Time, minutes, A Is seconds.
 A motorcycle jumping event failed 10 arouse any particular interest Two trials were made, both of which were under 45 feet, and the lone entry was content to call it a days work So were all of the spectators.
 The final event was the 25-mile Arizona championship, in which three Indian mounts had things all their own way, primarily because the two most serious Harley Davidson con- tenerS were forced from the running because of engine trouble

The time was 19 minutes 32 3-5 seconds The first five miles of this race were the fastest of the day. Walker turning the distance Tn , minutes B seconds. The next i've was nearly as fast, Walker going in minutes B seconds He made exactly the same time on the next five miles going the 15 miles in II minutes 3S seconds. Walker rode to The 20-mile post in 15 minutes B 2-5 seconds, his time for the fourth five miles being much slower.
 Hepburn, who was pushing Davis hard for third position, was forced out on hls fourteenth mile and Parkhurst also on a Harley-Davidson, was forced to the pits on the fifteenth lap
 A cup, emblematic of the Arizona champion and offered by the F'irestone Ire company. was awarded Gene '" stirNCI py ooD f1OlIudN or the Ari- l zona Republican at the end of the race.
 Flrestone and Goodyear tires also had big day at the races. Burns, who won the mile time trials, the five and ten-miIe events rode on fIrestone tires and Walker, who won the 15 and 25 miles events rode on Goodyear tires It was noteworthy that neither of the winners changed a | tire throughout the afternoons pro- gram.
