Announcement yesterday morning
OF the intention Of Eagles ana Red
Men 10 add automobile and motor
cycle races TO the attractions booked
for the big annual picnic day at Lew
is Spring, Sunday, June 3, created
decided stir in motoring circles.
Also It was stir Of the kind that
grows and that In bTlef time gets
heap OF pressure behind, it, FOR
there is enthusiasm over One pro
ject right from the beginning. Halt
a dozen automobile owners ana sew
eral motorcycle owners were on the
trail OF members OF the joint commit
tee OF the fraternal organizations yes
terday wanting 10 know about details
OF the proposed races. The commit
teemen were unable 70 tell them
more than that they had received
encouragement with regard TO put
ting the races on TO sufficient extent
10 assure them that there would oe
enough entries 10 make the events
highly interesting, and that they
thought the races would be routed
over the Tombstone canyon road. Be
yond this the plans for the events
are still undetermined, although be-
ing worked on.
Probabilities are that there will DC
two classes for the automobiles. IN
fact as much is now assured, for n
tries have been offered of % and 90
cars and OF two high power cars,
both above SO. One of these is the
big LoZier racing car of the Reno
Bros. of Douglas and the other is 4
Pope Hartford 60 owned in Tucson.
The likelihood is that the two classes
Eill be made Of cars to and includ-
ing 30's and the other OF cars above
80. The latter class will have to 90
stripped. The 80 and under cars may
also be required stripped hor pUr-
poses OF safety In such event there
will probably be a straight stock car
class, travelling fully equipped.
IN the motorcycle division il is e1-
pected that there will be from 10 10
20 entries. Jimmy Nichols and Red
Cannon are looked forward TO as the
likely stars in this event and their
friends are already laying bets as

cyclists in the smelter town who
