and Trainers, Here for
MotordTome Events
TRIES OUT THE BOARD COURSE
Barney Confident He will Lower
All Records with Powerful
Benz Machine
TRIES OUT THE BOARD COURSE

With gold crown, emblematic OF
the worlds speed kingship, tucked in
his alligator hand satchel and wearing
n perfecto i'm the left hand corner of
his mouth Barney Oldfield blew into
town yesterday afternoon. Behind Bar
ncy trailed his retinue of mechanics,
and In the baggage coach ahead were
the six racing cars that form the bread
winning end of the combination. IL
cost the champion just 5000 bucks to
have the express officials break the
seal on the car doors, which is high
water mark for the shipment of outfits
in the automobile game. The racing
monsters, were loaded at Daytona
Beach, Fla, and completed a real
transcontinental journey.
For years Barney Oldfeld has been
the idol of the American automobile
enthusiasts and the man they always
relied on to bring home the bacon in
track races in which the foreigners
were pitted against him. And it has
never been related that Barney ever
failed to augment the family larder
with the lean and fat product.
But the foreigners always had the
Indian sign on the Americans when 1t
come to straightaway racing and rec
ords, and it was up to Oldfeld to for
get the circular track game long
enough 10 prove Ills DIOWtSS dL tily
angle of automobile racing.
So Barney dug down in the family
jewel box and got enough together to
buy the greatest foreign car ever built,
and then went into training, over the
water wagon route to fit himself phys
ically for the most trying ordeal of his
career.
Then came the wonderful speed over
the Daytona Beach course, when dam
ger calloused racing officials clocked
Barney and the Benz at a gait of 142
miles an hour. as a shroud of gray
shot by with a whilr of ocean spray
and cloud of beach sand. Nothing
save a bullet had ever travelled so fast,
and Barney Oldheld was crowned king
of speed.
Barney is now in Los Angeles to
show what he can do on the new board
track, and 1t is dollars to the hollow
centered bakery product that when the
daring fellow gets through with the
local motordrome he will have cor
raled about all the records within
speaking distance of the scythe
handler.
During yesterday afternoon Oldield
took his siX-cylinder Knox out to the
motordrome and tried out the track to
get a line on the circle before hitting
It with his wonderful Bitten Benz So
sure is the champion that the world s

will have it on the track but once be-
