parka- ed Leo Osfern,an Is
 Cenier of filtration On
 His Coming 10 Derby City
BY DON sKus

AKRON Ohio, Aug. l6.- Leo arrived last night amidst the popping of flash bulbs and the vail ing of sirens.
 The parka has caused no end of interest here and he is definitely a favorite with the other cham pions, being selected head of his group right away.
 The feeling and the spirit that goes with this race is something that must be experienced to re- alize. It is by far the greatest event in amateur sports that was ever held. The whole town seems to think nothing else but SOAP BOX DERBY!
 What is most pleasing, though, is what the different committee members comment on the swell car that Leo built-and believe me, there are some swell ones here.
 Leo is to talk over the national hook-up of CBS tomorrow (Satur- day) at '3:45 o'clock D. m, Akron time. He has also posed for news reel shots in the parka.
 This afternoon he was guest of the Goodyear Rubber Company plant where he was taken on a special tour and shown the compli- cated process of tire making. Even the skies were kind to Leo as it rained as we arrived and poured this morning, making Leo more comfortable than he has been since leaving Juneau.
 Tomorrow We take the car to the tracks for his trial run and check over. Leo is anxious to get it in good running form.
