The 12 top pacern in the United States that will be competing in the Free-For-Alla are credited with a million dollars in money won as ioiiowe: Solicitor 8, i.5'l5i. 681,- 280: Tar Heel 3, 1.5756. 3119.143; Good Time i.5'm. 0200.195: Dud- ley Hanover 4, 1.58'.i. 192.062; Prince Jay amt. 073,105; ltoyal Blackstone 1.00!i. 334.090; H.

His owner has raced him summer and winter and last winter and. this spring he was on the go every week at Duiierin Park, Toronto, so should be in good shape tor the early meetings. Mr. Sweeney while at Roosevelt Raceway last year, learned oi the appointment oi Johnnie Simpson as driver and manager oi Hanover Shoe Farms racing stable and because of that connection several oi Mr. Simp- son's clients decided to dispose oi young prospects in training. 'i'wo oi these were Deeriield and ivilghty Gallon, both two-year-old pacera. They have been kept on the go all winter and as Mr. Sweeney's track is one or the earli-

The key to FireDome 8 eiliciency is a radically different combus- tion chamber - shaped like a dome. This unique design enables the fuel to burn uniformly and completely. There is less surface through which heat energy can be lost . . . more of the energy is converted into power. No compo idvu engine produces be much power per cubic inch r” placement as the Fr'reDome 8!

Because this power'ful DeSoio FI'reDmne V-8 engine is seldom pressed to capacity - it does not have to work so hard as ordinary engines. Thgigforo. it does not wear as fast.
