BY LEWIS II. WALTER
It's the last day of racing al
Detroit the last OF 81 days this
year and perhaps the last FOR the
duration. Just perhaps, because
indications are they'll be running
around and around al the Far
Grounds again next spring II war
doesn't give the United Nations
terrific smack between the
eyes.
The fact that the Detroit track
is within the city hmitS-can be
reached without automobiles - is
the biz thing in the plans for next
year. But that isn't what the fans
will be worrying about today The
question is - How about Sweep
Swinger and Hartman In that
Oliver Evans Handicap Looks
like parlay TO plenty Of fans
and there viii be plenty out TO-
day. At least $4,000 are eA-
pected.
SPLIT HANDICAP
The Oliver Evans is $1,000
handicap at a mile and 70 yards
that has been split into two dlvi-
sions with two $1,000 purses be
cause OF the large number OF
entries. Sweep Swinger goes IN
the first division, Heartman IN
the second.

four others. 1t looks like his
race. He carries 100 pounds 10
Ito for Ball Player.
Mrs. II. p. Bonners Hartman
goes after his seventh victory IN
the second division. The only
question is whether he can carry
the 129 pounds assigned him, as
against lis for Samborombom,
winner OF the $4,000 Frontier
Han dicap. 10 for Dearborn
Stables Hotzea and LOG for Mrs.
NJ. NJ. Johr's Bill O.
The association has posted a
good chunk - SIS 700 -- in purses
for the horsemen on the final day.
And the army is going 10 get a
bag of money too--all the gate
receipts for this week-which may
come close To the $50, 900 mark.
There's a $1,000 sprint and a
2-year-old race on the program,
too. The juvenile race Is the
Henry Handicap at 6 furlongs
