PLEASING CARD AT
MOTORCYCLE OVAL
Manager kraemer Plans Program of
Spectacular Events for One
Week from This
Sunday

One week from today the great
crowd that is expected to be present
at the motorcycle races will be enterz
tanned by a program far surprising
any event of the kind in the past.
Manager Kraemer has been hard at
pleted every detail, which will include
the fastest motorcycle riders ever
given mounts.
In the trade riders class will be
the dashing Graves, who has been
doing such magnificent work on the
saucer track Herbert Kittle, the pop
ular young rider who is fast coming to
the front for his splendid riding, and
the ever fearless Bake, whose exploits
on the motorcycle track are as plen-
tiful as rains in December. There is
scarcely an inch of the saucer track
which has not been covered by Bake S
body, as he has spilled himself from
starting line to finish. A new star
will be seen on the local track next
Sunday in this class in the person of
young Seymour, who made trip last
year, visiting the big race tracks and
sailing round among the cracks of the
east. In most of the cases he cleaned
them up thoroughly, defeating the best
riders known to fame on the eastern
saucers.
Once again are the people to have
the pleasure of seeing the indomitable
Whittier, who handed out a package
to Jake De Roster at the last meet
and astonished even the most expert
motorcyclists by the manner in which
he rode in the 100-mile race, leading
De Roster almost the entire distance,
fairly riding the Frenchman down.
Whittier is in the best of fettle for
the meet, and will make the effort of
his life to establish a new record in
the half-hour race On the track with
him in the professional ranks will be
Mitchell and Samuelson, two experts,
and if their machines produce the
speed there will be little difference at
the finish between the trio above mem
toned.
Spectacular Races Scheduled
When the motorcycle races have
been completed, and there will be a
number of events in that line, the
Spectators are to be given an innova-
tion to the saucer track which will be
the most sensational event ever staged
on any motorcycle track in the world.
Harold Stone, driving the Moline au-
tomobile, will be the first driver in
the world to make a race against time
on a saucer track, and the Moline will
be the first car to hold the same
honor-of being driven on a saucer
track. 1t is the most sensational sight
the eyes may see to witness the car
travelling at a mile minute, making
the short TURNS of three and a half
laps to the mile, and which come
mighty nearly being perpendicular, so
that the little car looks almost like a
fly walking along the fence, hanging
on almost sideways. Stone will make
the first worlds record, and, while it
will not be the intention to try for
great bursts of speed, the time will be
close to the five minutes for the five
miles
After the Moline has made the five
mile trip AL Livingstone will drive the
Corbin one mile against the world s
record on a circular track.
An extra corps of ticket sellers Will
be placed at convenient places to as
sist in giving the people expedition to
the grandstand, for there will un-
doubtedly be the largest crowd present
to see these events ever assembled at
the saucer oval. Notwithstanding the
additional attractions of seeing the
automobiles ON the motorcycle track,
the price of admission is not to be ad-
vanced, as Manager Kraemer wishes
the public to know he is retaining the
same popular prices of admission as
have been in vogue all the time at the
motorcycle grounds.
