PLANS GREAT CIRCUIT /.
FOR AUTO CONTESTS
Movement on National Scale Regard
ed as Necessary Because of
Competition.

Plans for a great national circuit or
automobile contests are well under
way, this movement having been made
practical necessity owing to the
most remarkable growth of automobile
competition. The ever-increasing list
of speedways to be constructed, and for
many of which ground has already been
purchased and capital secured. and
some of which are already constructed
and being successfully operated. has
made it advisable to gather all events
of the year into a group and apportion
the dates, as nearly as possible con-
secutively so as to save travelling ex-
'penses and the wear and tear of travel
ing to the drivers their mechanics and
to the officials of the American Auto
mobile Association, who regularly act
at these events.
Precedent Is Cited.
The condition which is rapidly aris-
ing in the automobile world is not dis
similar to the condition which existed
when. in 1894. the League of American
Wheelmen formed the national cycle
racing circuit, and by doing so cut
the travelling of the riders of bicycles
thousands of miles and cut the ex-
penses quite in two through an in
telligent arrangement of dates for race
meets.
The national circuit of cycle racing
was a feature in American competition
for years and circuit of automobile
race meets would be quite as much a
feature. This will be the case es-
pecially when the Detroit, New York.
Chicago, Twin Cities, Omaha and
other speedways are completed. New
York. Chicago and the Twin Cities have
secured land. New York and the Twin
Cities by purchase. Chicago by option
and Detroit has also optioned its land.
The Indianapolis, Sioux City, Tacoma
and Seattle speedways are in success
full annual operation, and road races at
Elgin. Los Angeles. San Diego and San
Francisco each year. with great track
race meets at such points as Kalama-
zoo. Galesburg and other places will
provide a sufficient number of meets to
keep the drivers busy the year round.
Backed by Wealthy Sportsmen.
Sportsmen of wealth, who back the
drivers in these contests. are already
numerous and will increase in number
with the circuit formation and the OPP
portunity always present for run for
| their money and the consequent excite
ment.
