GREAT SPEEDWAY FOR
AUTOMOBILE RACING
SiX-Mile Straightaway Course
Now Being Constructed at
Savannah.
FREE OF CROSSINGS

SAVANNAH Ga, April 9-Savannah will
offer to automobile racers next winter a
straightaway speedway of six miles, sew
enty feet wide and as level as floor The
surface will be slightly turtle back and
hardened with cement gravel on a rolled
earth base. At one end of the course will
be loop of half mile, turning the flying
machines back toward the city for the
round trip run of twelve miles. More than
two miles of this speedway are already
finished.
The speedway will be absolutely free of
all crossings, obviating the necessity Of
Stacking speed for any purpose of ordinary
traffic. The country TO be traversed is
fiat and sandy. Two hours after a heavy
rainfall the soil Is dry and dusty, so rapid
ly does the porous soil absorb the mois-
ture. The cement gravel with which the
speedway is to be surfaced will shed water
like a slate roof, so that the track will be
in condition at all times for speed and
pleasant running. There will be no grade
throughout the length of the run amount
ing to more than l per cent and not more
than one or two grades of that degree.
The speedway has been planned with the
ultimate purpose or extending IL to eleven
miles straightaway, though the six-mile
course will be first opened. The course is
through pine barrens for the most part.
though a portion of il will traverse live
oak groves IeStOOneQ WITH long, gray
moss. On the east, at short distances, will
be the salt water country seats of native
residents.
The building of the speedway has been
taken UP by the Chamber of Commerce,
which has appointed committee to put
the project through. This committee is
composed of r. c. Foster, of the Georgia
car works; +. G. Battey, a prominent COM
mission merchant; A b. Moore, a member
of the Board of County Commissioners; CT.
J. Baldwin, president of the street-railway
system; w. w. Osborne, a political lead
er of the city and county; Major r. A
Blandford, civil engineer, and other promi-
nent and influential men.
The county convicts will be used for the
work of grading and surfa cling the road
way. Land owners along the line will give
a right of way of a hundred feet through
their property. An available fund of s75-
coo. in addition to the convict labor, is in
sight for the purpose of the enterprise

Ralph Rose Will Measure His
Strength with Best Men
of the East.
SHOT PUTTING RECORD

PHILADELPHIA, April 9.-The intercol-
legiate athletic world of the East is await
ing with much interest the arrival of Ralph
Rose, the phenomenal freshman athlete
from the University of Michigan, who is to
make his first public appearance outside of
his native State of California at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania relay races, April
%. Rose is said to be the most wonderful
athlete, either East or West, produced with
in the last generation.
Rose is six feet five inches in height and
weighs 229 pounds. He matriculated at the
University of Michigan as freshman last
January. A few days later he went out in
the gymnasium and surprised the trainer
by putting the shot forty-five feet in his
street clothes. He was Immediately taken
in hand and since that time he has been
putting the shot nearly a foot further with
each week of training. His best put made
in an exhibition TWO weeks ago was forty
eight feet nine inches, thus breaking both
the indoor and outdoor world records.
In addition TO being a shot-putter Rose
is also hammer thrOWer, though he has
not devoted so much attention to the ham,
mer as the shot. His best throw is 15S
feet, made when he was a high school
student in California. II he shows as much
ability with the hammer as with thu shot
he will doubtless throw it nearly 200 feet.
Rose will compete in both the shot and
hammer events at the relays and will meet
the best men in the East, including De-
witt of Princeton; Lemoyne, of Harvard:
Shevlin and Glass, of Yale. and Van Duyn
of Syracuse. The measurements of Rose
