Samuelson, the "Pride of Provo," added another leaf to his crown of laurel at the saucer track Friday, when ho captured first place In the two-mllo event after ono of tho gamest sprints evor witnessed wit-nessed on the local track. Threo laps from the finish Samuelson was nearly half a lap behind Holllstcr and Achorn, who wero teaming togother. Theso riders seemed to have first and second places without a struggle, so great was their lead.

Tho 2500 spectators spec-tators rose to their feet and yelled Uko mad, although It hardly seemed possible that tho Provo youth could hold thc fearful fear-ful pace. With his legs working llku piston rods and hl3 body swinging easily, SamuolHon came Into thc stretch on the last lap. The leadoi-3, glancing back, saw tho figure In pink ana black approaching at express train speed and vainly endeavored to stall him off. He Overhauls Leaders. Samuelson came on with a rush, and a few yards from tho tape overhauled and pawsed the pair, whllo every man, woman and child present howled an ovation.
