DETROIT TRACK IS
BEST, Says
BURMAN
Speed King Thinks That the Detroit
Course Has It Over All of Them
In Country-Lowers Twenty
Mile Record.
Auto Races at Fair Are Popular, But
Weather Man Put EARLY Con-
tests on the Blink.

wild Bob" Burman, who broke
the worlds automobile record for q
miles on a circular dirt track at the
State Fair race track Monday after
noon, thinks that the Detroit track is
the best in the country.
I've raced on nearly every track
OF prominence In the nation" said
Mr.. Burman, but there Is none OF
them that is the equal OF the De
troit speedway to my notion, for q
circular dirt track.
Il thought when I got on the SYRIA
cluse track that II was about as good
vs. had seen, but when | got back
again on yours in Detroit, l realized
that the one here had II on all the
rest of them"
wild Bob" is very much disap-
pointed because of the accident
which. he thinks. prevented him from
breaking the worlds record for 20
miles and upward to so Monday. On
the twenty-fourth lap OF his attempt
to lower the time Monday, a tire
came OF in a rut in the track and in
attempting to replace IL so much time
was lost that IL was useless to con
tinue the journey.
I'VE were going fine" said Bob in
commenting upon his bad fortune,
send were making an average of bet
ter than q mile In "a seconds when
the tire went wrong IL would have
been easy to lower the records all the
way up.
The track was pretty soft for rae
ing but Il was In good shape for an
Exhibition against time and IL should
have been easy on the tires under or
binary circumstances. II get q
chance | am going to try for that
record again while I'm here"
Driver Kulick. of the Ford Motor
Co., has challenged Burman to a
match race for purse of $1,000, the
distance to be determined by Burman.
Although "Bob's" speediest car was
put out of commission at Syracuse
during a run against time Saturday,
he may accept the challenge, racing
KuIck's Ford with one OF the cars
he has with him.
The unfavorable condition Of the
track is proving to be big disap-
pointment to the big crowds that want
90 see the speed boys eat up the
course In actual racing. While exhi-
bition runs against time are exciting.
they are tame compared to the thrills
of match races. The auto contests
were put on one day on account Of
the postponement of the Grand Cir
cult races. and to be further disap-
pointed on account of bad weather
was hard for many who had come to
the fair rincipally to see the motor
cars In ion.
The same interest that Is shown all
over the country In these death-defy-
ing speed contests Is evident here. In
spite of the close finishes Of Satur-
days horse races, the enthusiasm dis
played at that time was dull In COM
parison with the cheering that greet
ed the automobile drivers.

Butch Magginnity slammed the door
OF his law Office savagely. Here TX
was September; the whitewash was
on the gridiron at old Lalapaloosa
college, when he had starred as full
back for more years than he cared 10
say out loud And in his pocket was
a letter from his brothers in the Dc
cay Keptsolong frat urging him to
come on and help rush" the freshies.
But Butch didn't have the price.
AS Butch reached the street he saw
a crowd In front of the drug store.
A disabled street car and busted
auto stood at the corner. Butch scent

He lowered his head the way he
made famous when all-state fullback
and bored through the crowd for a
ten-yard gain that landed him inside
the drug store.
There he found eight persons. more
or less hurt. He gave his card to
each, signed up the eight for damage
suits, collected 5000 expense money
and emerged from the store triumph
ant.
"Hurrah," he cried. I'm on for
Lalapaloosa."
When Butch got to Lalapafoosa he
found the freshman class assembled
on the campus, and a hollow-chested
puny lot OF high school high brows
they were, too.

Butch, where are the new huskies

Butch went into retirement at the

Among the candidates for places
back of the line is one who looks at
