At a meeting last night at motor
drome headquarters between A. A. A.
officials and Oldfield. De Palma and
Bragg. it was agreed that De Palma
is to drive the Fiat Cyclone in all
events over five miles, the Fiat 190
horsepower in all events of five miles
and under, the go stock Fiat in all
events. and that Bragg, the amateur
driver, may drive in all professional
events, but Is not to accept any of the
moneys.
The motordrome management also
announce that today at II o'clock Jake
De Roster will go for the 100-mile mo-
torcycle worlds record on the motor
drome track.
AUToISTS TO FIGHT DUEL
Barney Oldfeld and Ralph De Palma
will fight a duel at the motordrome
this afternoon--a battle royal worthy
of the sensational plank track. Each
will go for the others record, De
Palma after Oldfield's mile and Old
field after De Palma's five miles.
If De Palma lowers Barney's mile
record appreciably he must go faster
than 100 miles an hour. The experts
look for a mile in thirty-five seconds
before the meet is half over, and it is
probable De Palma will try at cutting
a sensational number of seconds from
the 1922 seconds in which Oldfeld
steered the "Blitzen' Benz for one
mile.
Today's program will be full of short
races in which the sensational predom-
mates. The fast small cars are on for
an exciting match. and the handicaps
will be productive of comparisons
which will keep the crowd roofing.
From beginning to end the program
is a sensational one, and the decision
of the management to run more short
races will give each days program
more thrills.
