NO SPEED LIMIT
TO RACING AUTOS

There seems to be no limit to the speed
of the racing automobiles, for. year after
year the records are smashed to smith
Greens, and as long as the drivers Of
racing cars Will take a chance they are
liable to keep on setting new marks for
the makers Of racing cars to braE about.
Records have been made which make
even an express train appear slow at
times.
The greatest driver Of the year was,
no doubt, Bob Burman, who set many
new marks at various distances, but he
was not alone in his work by any means.
The year before it was all Barney Old
field, the daredevil rider, but Barney'S
disqualification at the sanctioned meets
put him out Of it. Some of the daring
drivers lost their lives on the tracks, but
there were always others to follow in
their footsteps.
Burmans mile in % and a fraction Sec
onds at Daytona, Fla, was the fastest
of the year. Bob also drove the two
miles in 81 seconds and fraction, while
he covered twenty miles in ID minutes
II 92-1OO seconds and fifty miles in 35
minutes 80 31-100 seconds On the speed
way Burman drove a quarter mile in
SIG seconds and a half in 1880 seconds
He broke the mile record over q cir
cular track in 1852 seconds and made
the mile on a half-mile track in LOT 30
Bernin drove 100 miles at Daytona
Fla. in 11245 1-5, while Louis Disbrow
made the $50 miles in. 1.55.1 10 and the 800
miles in 353.33. Just imagine an ex-
press train covering 200 miles in that
time. Milford covered $50 miles at In
dianapohs in 4.42.3S, which is about the
same distance as between Milwaukee and
ST. Paul, but the fast express train takes
nine to ten hours.
Ralph De. Palma, Bruce Brown, Tetz-
laff, HarroIn and milford all made re-
markable records, as did Smith. Edge and
Hemmery in England. Bordina, the
Italian driver. drove 116 miles in an hour
at Saulturn, England.
Mrs. Joan Cuneo negotiated a half mile
In 10 1-5 seconds at New York In April,
attaining a speed Of liz miles an hour.

OF ALL TROTTERS

There seems 10 be no limit to the rec
ord-breaking performances in the horse
line. especially in trotting and pacing.
although a few new marks have been
registered in the running list of records.
II is not many years ago that horsemen
claimed there never 4Zyould be a two
minute trotter, but the two-minute trot-
ter appeared and has passed along, the
effort being now TO get down 10 the same

interest at that time, but the poor .ex-

did not help the game any. For two

Americans call game and willing to take
chance he preferred to forfeit the
match.
Wrestling did not prosper for some time
afterward. the interest being very lax,
but the coming of Mahmout and Zybszko
created little more enthusiasm and
some of the big matches were well at
tended. Then came the return match
this year between Gotch and Hacken-
l.,
an immense crowd turned out, but it was
very one-sided, Gotch winning in two
straight falls in IA minutes Is Is sec
onds and s minutes and 80 1-5 seconds.
Hackenschmddt gave up without strug-
gle, claiming afterward that he had
wrenched his ankle badly and should
never have gone on with it, but that he
did so to protect the promoters who had
expended several thousand dollars to
bring it about The miserable exhibition
hurt the game still more, and 1t will take
some time again to put it on a fair basis.
Frank Gotch has been touring the coun-

take part in any championship matches
