and one 25-mile sweepstakes, will
make up the card of automobile
races scheduled for Alamorio Park
on Sunday afternoon.
Due to dissatisfaction at the last
race, when a high powered Los An

entries, the Brawley American Le-
gion Post, under whose auspices the
races are conducted, have decided
to limit entries to strictly valley
cars t'.''A s.."
These will include the old fav-
orites from Brawley, III Centre,
and Westmorland, and several new
cars which have been built soley
with the idea of running away from
Kretz Special, Brawiey's speed
wagon, and the Coggins Special,
from FL Centre, both cars having
figured prominently in each race
thus far held at AlamoriO.
A complete list of entries will be
printed tomorrow.
The track is being put in good
shape for the races. The rails, form
ing pits for each car, which were
used Tor the first time at the races
held three weeks ago, have been a
great help in keeping people away
from the drivers and off the track,
thereby insuring greater safety to
those who attend rhe races.
