TO LEAVE FOR FAIRMOUNT PARK AURORA, 111., May 20.— R. A. Leigh, Jr., placing judge and clerk of scales at the Fox Valley Jockey Club track, will depart Sunday for Fairmount Park to handle the preliminary details in connection with the opening of the Collinsville track on Decoration Day, which is the beginning of the scheduled thirty-one-day meeting. Leigh, Jr., will attend to the allocating of stalls and the accounting of registrations and other matters essential to getting into shape for the opening, as there is only a one-day intervention between the closing of Aurora and the opening of Fairmount. In the absence of Leigh, Jr., Fred Crafton, now a placing judge at Aurora, will take over the duties of clerk of scales for the final week of the meeting here.
