WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. A.

Barney Will Not Be Permitted
on the Indianapolis
Track Again.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. Al
though Barney Oldfield, formerly
known as the worlds speed king, may
be reinstated in the good graces of
the American Automobile Association,
and again registered as a motor rae
ing driver, he never will be allowed
to drive upon the Indianapolis motor
speedway. This is the announcement
Of the management Of the famous
brick track following the publication
of report that Oldfield and Bob Bur-
man, the present holder of the worlds
free-for-all straightway, mile track
and speedway records, would meet
some time during the 1912 season in
match race at the motor speedway.
oldfieId has incurred the displeaa-
ure of the owners of the track,
through the methods which he adop-
ted while he was hippcdroming the
country with astrlng CT racing cars,
and later by his attacks upon the var
ious racing associations and pro-
moters in the country For some time
he has been allowing his former man
ager and press agent Bill" Pickeus,
to write newspaper articles under his
signature, and the vitriclic attacks
which these stories have made upon
the American Automobile Association
and the motor speedway have iucensed
the officials Of both organizations.
While in Savannah recently attend
Ing the Vanderbilt, and Grand Prize
races, oidfield gave out the state
ment that he desired reinstatement
as registered racing driver. He said
further, that he believed many were
in favor if he would agree to cast OF
Pickeps. This he promised TO do and
was told that his case would be con-
sldered by the contest beard after the
first of 1912. The matter has not
been reopened, but probably will be
at the time of the New York automo-
bile show,
When the article announcing n
probable match race between Old
field and Burman was called to his
attention, Carl G. Flhser, president Of
,he company which owns the Indian.
apolis motor speedway, said Such a
race on the motor speedway is i'm
possible for several reasons. First,
We would not allow oldfield upon the
track, no matter when or how he was
reinstated, as he has decried the rae
ing sport ever since he was outlaweI
and his very attempt at reinstatement
proves his insincerity and his ques-
tjonable methods.
! Second, it has always been the pol
icy Of the speedway 10 give its spec
tators race meeting Of The highest
possible standard We never have
adopted the circus-rldlng, hippodrome
methods OF taking money from the
public and giving little or nothing in
return For that reason alone, 1t
would be impossible for oldfield to
put on his kind Of show and enjoy
public appreciation at the speedway
In race where skill and nerve were
necessary, Barney oldfeld would b.
a poor factor, as has been proved in
the past when he left his so-called
exhibition driving to compete with
