THOUSANDS SEE (Continued from page one) j F. Johnson, of Fort Wayne, in a Fox Service car, dropped out of the race ! on the east turn, but succeeded in getting his car started and came on .around to the pits where his trouble was repaired and he re-entered the I race, a few laps behind the leaders. I When Ed Hartley’s Rajo was elimI inated from the race, Burkett, drivI ing a Mathews Special took the lead I and held it during the remainder of the race. Bill Sudduth, of Bluffton, I in a Baby Cyclone, was forced out of the race on the 46th lap with motor , trouble. He was second position before his trouble developed. When Sudduth was forced out, Tom Mar- , shall, of Peru, driving a Roof Flyer, went into second position, nearly a lap and drove for 12 laps before he North Manchester, could not get his Foster Special ready for the start of this race, but entered during the 34th lap and drove gfor 12 laps before he was forced out with motor trouble. Burkett, who was the youngest driver in the professional races, and who was driving his first race, finished first in the race, with a comfortable lead over Marshall, of Peru, who won second. Although forced to stop at his pit for water and oil several times during the race, Johnson piloted his Fox Service to third position in the race. These three were the only cars left in the race at the finish. Burkett’s time was 29 minutes and 30 seconds. His average speed for the race was 50.84 miles per hour. Ormsby Wins 50-Mile Race Ralph Ormsby, well known dirt track driver from Fort Wayne, drove his Roof Special to victory in the feature event of the program, theso- - race. This car was the same one in which Ormsby won the 100- ( mile race at Columbus, Ohio, on August 26. The big blue racer was tuned up to perfection yesterday and Ormsby held a comfortable lead after getting out in front on the third lap. Ormby's time was 1 hour, 1 minute and* 48 seconds, making an average speed of 48.4 miles per hour. There were six starters in this event, hut only three finished. Creviston succeeded in getting his Essex ready for this race and he led for the first two laps. Ormsby passed him on the east turn of the third lap, and held the lead for the remainder of the race, although pushed several times by Burkett in his Matthews 1 Special. The Foster Special, driven by Carl Foster, was the first car forced out of this race, it developing motor trouble early in the race. The Robbins Special, driven by Robbins, kept close to Ormsby until forced to the pits. Hurried repairs were made and the car was pushed out on the track, but efforts to start it again | proved turtle. The Fox Service,’ driven by B. F .Johnson, was the next to drive into the pits. After taking oil and water, the car was started again, but was several laps behind. Johnson drove a few more laps before being forced to the pits again, and this time he was out for good. This left Ormsby, Burkett and Creviston in the race. Ormsby had a lead of a half a lap until Burkett began fighting with Creviston for second place. These two drivers furnished many thrills for the spectators. Burkett drove his Matthews Special I alongside Creviston’s Essex several times But each time Creviston would speed ahead. These two cars crept close to Ormsby, who then speeded ( up and again succeeded in establishing a comfortable lead. Burkett finally passed Creviston on the home ! stretch of the 59th lap. just as the 1 two cars dashed past the grandstand. I Creviston slowed up his pace after being passed by Burkett and Ormsby Japped him on the 73rd lap. Burkett passed Creviston again on the 75th

lap and was hot on the trai of Ormsby. I Ormsby passed Creviston again on | the 93rd lap and Burkett followed suit on the 97th lap. still closely pursuing Ormsby. When Ormsby received the checkered flag, Burkett was about two hundred yards behind. Tho spectators were rooting hard for the young Burkett throughout the race. The ycuth appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, but ho drove a steady race. Officials Os The Races E. H. Nussbaum, of Fort Wayne, ' was the official starter of the races. J. S.
