Event in Cleveland
BY the Associoted Press

CLEVELAND, Aug. 81. Dale
Fulton of Alexandria, Va, with
125 ocean crossings as a trans
port pilot to his credit, made his
first try in aviation competition
today and flew off with $4,000
first prize money and the Soho
Trophy in today's feature event
at the National Air races.
Fulton, who grew up at Pierson,
Ill, and learned to fly seven years
ago at Decatur, ILL.,, trailed William
Ong of Kansas City, for the first
two laps in the 2l0-mile dash
around 30-mile rectangular course.
Then he inched ahead and con-
tinued to widen his lead until he
was miles ahead at the finish.
The winning speed was 1927 miles
an hour. The race, run in recogni-
ton of Cleveland's 150th annivers-
airy, is new one, but the average
speed was 60 miles an hour faster
than the preWar record in the
Thompson Trophy race, blue ribbon
event of closed course competition.
Ong Takes Second Place.
Ong averaged 345.8 miles an hour
to win $500 for second place. Both
he and Fulton flew North American
Psi Mustangs.
