...former has a very good chance to win. The array of Crimson distance stars are expecting to furnish each other the stiffest opposition they will get, if Luttman, who has been out this week, with a bad ankle, is right tomorrow and the track is dry he may push Captain Tibbetts to a new two mile record.
