OLDFIELD WINS TITLE
AT MARDI GRAS EVENT S
BY Defeating de Palma Veteran Driver
Proves Right to Name of
Speed King

Barney Oldfield was crowned king Of
the circular track at the recent New
Orleans Mardi Gras speed carnival
The veteran driver with his Benz
racer defeated Ralph De Palma and
his 100 horse power Fiat in the ten
mile track championship match for a
purse of $1,000
In addition Barney covered the fve
miles in an event which he won eight
seconds faster than De Palma's track
record for the New Orleans course.
Oldfeld defeated De Palma in two
handicap events and also won the
twenty five-mile New Orleans hotels
sweepstakes race.
Thus tile long disputed track cham
Dionship was settled in Oldheld's favor,
as De Palma scored his only victory
during the meet over Barney in
five-mile event in which Oldfield had
to withdraw in the first mile owing to
being unable to get his fourth speed
gears in while leading De Palma by
several lengths.
Oldfield drove his Knox six-cylinder
in the stock car events, winning three
races with the famous machine. In
the other races Oldneld drove his 120
horsepower Benz.
Barney is now at Hot Springs, Ark,
for a three weeks training course, con-
ditioning himself physically for what
he expects will be his hardest season
since starting the automobile racing
game seven years ago.
Oldfield recently purchased the 200
horsepower Hemmery Benz for $4,000
and will drive the great car for the
first time in the Ormond-Daytona,
Fla, beach meet the latter part of
March, and expects to lower the mile
straightaWay record to % or So Sec
onds. Then the speed king will use the
monster machine on all sorts of tracks
during his seasons campaign.

Word has just been received by the
Howard Automobile company from
Norman Devaux of the northwest
Buick agency at Portland that Buick
forty had just accomplished a feat
which has always been regarded as an
impossibility by everyone in the north
ern city, the feat of negotiating Ban
croft hill Attempts have continually
and repeatedly been made by many au-
tomobies to get up that terrible in
cline, but their efforts were only re-
wardcd by failures, and the Buick forty
which carried a full load of passen-
gers-is the only machine that ever at
tanned success.
