The event is a variation from the original Fox stake plan, which comnrehended only events for two year old pacers.

tu slue was consiaerea ay many to be subsidiary to the initial race. However, at this time the value of the three year old race has risen to such nigns mat with the final oavmenta and the amount contributed by the association stsglng the race, there Is promise of it attaining a worth of around 14,000. In such a ease, the purse will be unprecedented for the age and gait. Thirteen EllglMea. At the date there are thirteen youngsters left eligible to the event, and It Is likely that few win be de clared out on the starting payment.

This made a total of $28,250. Louie dldnt run up Into the lead until the lap prize money ran out, so he wasnt counted In on that. But he doubtless collected on a few other small Items that are never mentioned, including one or two medals of sorts. To show how fate further rolls the dice occasionally, it may said that at i 450 miles Tony Gulotta, with one of the fastest automobiles on the track, was running In first position, his Stuts Special, one of Frank Lockhart's cars, coasting along In easy fashion, apparently good for 1,000 miles. Next to Tony rode Jimmy Oleason, In Duesenberg No.

In the next lap Tony Gulotta began slowing down because a small leak in his gas tank kept him from maintain ty sufficient air pressure In his tank to feed the gaa to the carburetor.
