Joe Dawson's TUarmon was just o 1-5 seconds ahead of Tliilph Mulford's big vhito loiter at tho finish of tho 200-mlle race hero today. Bj The duel between thesu two began im- H, mediately after tho hundredth mile. Daw- son was tlien far behind on account of a stop to change tiros, but "changing tires" is merely tho expression for what happened to him. Thero was no excllc-ment excllc-ment about it. for he titopped at the pits with his right rear wheel entirely devoid of tho semblance of a tire and- the Iron H; rim showering sparks as it ground the H'. The Lozer slopped soon afterward to i make a real change of tires, putting the Hr inrs on even terms. Another of Daw- U son's tires flattened at the J-iOth mile, and in the same lnp one of tho Lozer' a Hj tlreB was reduced to ribbons. Hj' Luck Out of Game. Thorcafler luck kept out of the game mM' and a new element, Mulford's daring, re- mM; placed it. Tho Marmon was running the H3 faster, but on the bod turn of tho track, where two drivers havo been killed.
