Automobile Records Smashed on New Saucer
Track at Playa del Rey

PLAYA DEL REY, April S.-The es-
tablishing of many new speed records
marked the opening of the Los An
geles motordrome this afternoon. Every
worlds record for a one mile track
from one to 100 miles was beaten and
five national speedway marks were
lowered in the trials and the free for
all contests.
The establishing of new mile track
records was to be expected, as this is
the first board track ever raced on by
motor cars. In addition to the national
records established, new marks were
also set in the stock car events.
The racing was entirely free from
accidents At the end of 100 mile race
Dorris car, driven by Frank Siefert,
turned turtle. but this did not happen
until after the car had run into the
numb from the strain and he lost con-
troll of the wheel. He was not injured.
FIRST MILE A RECORD
ord. Caleb Bragg, an amateur, sent the
Fiat 80 around in 1856.
George Robertson was next to be
sent away and his big Simplex thun
dered after the 10 mile record. When
he began clipping miles off in 39 sec
onds it was apparent that the record
would go. He finished the 10 miles in
6:S1:57. Strang's mark at Atlanta for
this distance was 7:01.94.
Another worlds mile track record
and a national speedway mark went
glimmering when Barney Oldfield
turned loose his 200 horsepower Benz
for mile, making the ''piepan' in
1922. This car was never open to the
limit, and it is expected that this mark
will be set still lower.
Ralph de Palma in his 100 horse
power Fiat cut the five mile mark to
3:15.62. He was followed by Ben
Kercher. who cut the two mile record
to 1:1S.29 in a Darracq.
The racing was unusually spirited
and every event was a hard fought
contest The most sensational drive
of the day was made by Oldfield in a
Knox in the 10 mile race for cars with
451-600 cubic inches piston displace-
ment. Getting away to a very bad
start, due to his position on the ex-
treme inside, Oldfield was an eighth of
mile behind the flying Stoddard- Day
ton with Livingston up in the first half
mile. Hanshue in the Apperson was
running second. OldfeId began his
race for the leaders and by the end of
the fourth mile was in command, win
ming handily in 1851 20, The Apperson
was second.
The five mile free for all proved a
thriller, with De Palma in the 90 Fiat
and Robertson in the Simplex racing
hood and hood for almost the entire
distance The Italian won by a scant
length in 3:16.30.
The 100 mile race was a fight be-
tween Harrouns Marmon and Siefert's
Doris. The cars were Tapped for s5 of
the 100 miles. At the end of go miles
the Doris crossed the line one foot
ahead of the Marmon. Harroun drew

upon the charter requirement that the

such francise to granting permits for
the laying of pipes underground for
