GRAND CIRCUIT OF AUTO
SPEEDWAYS is PLANNED
Manufacturers Claim the Long
Jumps Are Too Expensive

NEW YORK, Dec. 19--The formation of
grand circuit Of automobile speedways Is
being urged by manufacturers here and
definite movement looking to the organization
Of such circuit will probably be made dur
inf the season Of winter automobile shows
early next year
The advocates of the circuit scheme point
out that one Of the biggest items of expense
in the racing business for manufacturers is
caused by the long jumps about the country
to take in the meets. If a circuit is arranged,
they say, SO that teams could go from one
track to the other, making short jumps, in
definite order, the public would probably be-
come more convegsant with what is being
attempted and the manufacturers would be
able to reduce expenses materially, more
general participation in racing events would
also be possible and many more makers would
be- able to enter.
Under tins scheme racing at the beginning
OF the year Won d be conducted on the Pa
cjfc coast, at Santa Monica, San Francisco
ana SEATTLE. From the coast the racing sta
has would journey to the middle west Chi
caro. Cleveland and other tracks thereabouts
would follow naturally in the circuit, and then
the racers would come farther east Buffalo
and New York would get the meets there
after for time, Then would come the rae
ing in Philadelphia. and with the coming Of
autumn tile racers would move on to Atlanta,
New Orleans and Texas points, the year end
ing al Ormonde and jacksonville,

MOTORCYCLE OFFICER
DOOMED BY PHYSICIANS
Little Hope Entertained for Po-
Iiceman Injured in Pur-
suit of Speeder

Frank L. Coe, the motorcycle police
man who seemed on the road to re-
coverv after receiving terrible injuries
several weeks ago. while pursuing an
automobile speedster. is doomed 10
death within three days, according 10
the ST .ent of the physician who has
been attending him. Meningitis has de-
yaloned .. his weakened condition,
there is little hope for Coe.
Following the operation performed on
Goes skull on the night OF the acel-
dent, it was believed that the officers
struggle for rec, Y would be sue
cessful. After the frs. shock had
passed, he seemed to rally strength anu
respond in every way to treatment IL
was even given out that Coe Woulo
soon be ION the job again, thouSh
he would probably never be as slrois
as before the accident.
Word was circulated among mem-
bers of the police department yesterday
that Coe was sinking fast and tfat the
d would come in two or three days.
DIR. c. w. Cook who has been at
tending the officer corroborated these
fears when he said that meningitis had
appeared and that recovery now would
be almost a miracle.
Until early yesterday Coe seemed to
be improving. He was taken into
the hospital yards for his daily airing
and he seemed to relish food Barring
unexpected complications, there seemed
to be nothing to prevent complete re-
covery.
The unexpected happened when
sympt oms of meningitis were detected.
Diagnosis confirmed the suspicion and
within a few hours Coe had lost much
strength The question of an operation
on the head was considered, but was
soon abandoned, the physicians fearing
that the patients vitality was not suf-
ficient for the strain.

BOARD QUESTIONS
CLAIM FOR WAGES
Supervisors Set Aside Demands
for Work Done by Inspec-
tors on Roads

Ine board OF SUPERVISORS SET aSiue
salary demands presented by the high
way commission n yesterday for road in
spectors who, while receiving SO day
in wages, are alleged to have added
horse hire and room rent in localities
adjacent to their homes and within
easy walking distance of the street
car lines. The demands were sent back
to the highway commission and before
the road inspectors collect their SAL
aries they must blue pencil the nu-
merous items, some of them big, which
so swelled the amount of money al
legged to pe due them from the county.
The demands bore the approval of
the highway commission and their re-
lection caused conSiderable surprise
among the inspectors and members of
the commission They were about to
be passed when Supervisor Pridham's
eye wandered down a column of fig
ures belonging to a road inspector sta
toned at Tropico.
This inspector asks us to pay $12
for his room rent and SIT for his horse
hire" the supervisor said bluntly.
THAT road can be reached by street
car and it is so short that the man
can walk. I see no reason for the use
of horse and buggy here
EXAMINE EXPENSE DEMANDS
Following Pridhams remarks the su-
pervisors scrutinized the demands
closely with the result that several
other inspectors were found to have
made similar demands. All were sent
back to the highway commission with
out action.
The board was petitioned by ninety
residents of the Eagle Rock valley for
the incorporation of about five square
miles of the valley as the town of
v,f, 1n
tition was continued to allow proper
affidavits to be filed. Should the sec
ton be incorporated the city would
be rated in the sixth class and have
population of 700 or 500 persons.
The Glendale city limits at the north
west corner, according to L. r. Car
nett, who is in charge of the move
ment. would be touched by the pro-
posed boundaries but they would not
reach the Los Angeles city limits.
MONEY FOR STREET WORK
Los Angeles will receive $4497.91 for
additional street work from the road
funds of the Colegrove, East Holly
wood and South Hollywood districts.
The city and county authorities have
had some dispute as to the amount due
from the county road funds. Super
visor Eldridge said yesterday that the
30 per cent raise made by the state
board of equalization was not included
in the previous payments made from
the Cahuenga road district fund. The
CITY has been authorized to draw on
the county for $4497.91 as the amount
due.
Lankershim residents appeared be-
fore the board yesterday and asked
TO have new highway, not yet opened.
improved The road lies one-half
mile west of Lankershim and runs to
the boundaries of the Lankershim
ranch. A syndicate has placed the
ranch on the market and is building
roads through it, and If the county i'm
proved the new highway leading to
the ranch the roads would connect. Su-
pervisor Pridham, to whom the request
was referred, will investigate the prop
osition.

COULON SAYS HE
WILL FIGHT HERE
Chicago Scrapper Tells. a Friend
That He Would Like to Meet
ConIey in Los Angeles

Private dispatches from Chicago
make it look very much as though Pro-
moter McCarey is in line to secure the
Coulon- -Conley bout, which was cam
celed from a New Orleans meeting
place because of adverse legislation.
Coulon Yesterday stated to friend in
Chicago that he thought pretty well OF
the Los Angeles magnate's Offer and
in all probability would accept.
This is cheerful news for the fans
hereahouts for the Windy city lad was
considered the real obstacle which lay
between hope and realization. If Cou-
lon will live up to his talk there will
be something real I'm sight for local
fanatics for the bout between this
classy pair of bantams is without doubt
one of the best cards on the market
McCarey is figuring on mid-Jan-
uarv date for the little fellows-if he
connects. A Tuesday night fight when
the new year is seventeen days old, or
else an afternoon affair the following
Saturday would fit in real well, and if
everything else is agreeable the ban
tamweight championship of the world
will be pulled then.
And while on the subject this will be one
of the very few real laurel deciding affairs
ever staged in Los Angeles. With the ex-
ceptlon of the Ketche-Papke mill which
Baron Long promoted at Vernon nothing Of
an absolutely bona fde championship variety
has been offered the local fstic population
True several fights notably those in which
Tommy Burns played part were billed as
such but no smart man paid his money for
ticket with the idea of seeing title In
jeopardy. SO bring on the champs.
The Morris Bloom-M Rogers bout, sched-
ued as the semi-windup when Jim Flynn and
Tony Caponi meet at Vernon New Years day.
was nipped IN the tentative stage yesterday
when Rogers wired he was unable to be in
or the deal. Al gave as his reason Inability
TO get in proper shape by the time set, and
declared he did not want 10 go on unless fully
prepared. Now McCarey is forced TO change
his line of figures and light on other
pair TO make a nice card He still has one
bout cinched in addition TO the main event
but one between the preliminary and main
event is still 10 be arranged.
