SPEED TOURNEY
Arrangements for Sundays Auto
Races Are Completed

Races Are Completed
| With the promise Of a track that
| viii be as fast as any of the northern
| courses and rolled beyond the posi-
bility of cutting out on the turns, prac-
| tically the same program which called
for so much hard driving last Satur-
| day that it literally tore the Hancock
| track To pieces, has been announced for
Sundays gasoline speed-fest at the
| Laurium track.
| The distance of some of the races
| has been heightened and Disbrow's
record drive with the Simplex Zip"
will be for two miles, going after both
| the one and two mile state records in
tie same drive, the first two laps of
the two miles being nominated for the
mile record. Prospects for a crowd
that will tax the capacity of the park
have caused the management to take
every precaution for the safety Of the
spectators. Signs will be posted around
the turns reading Danger, Keep
| Away and n squad OF Co. A., Engi-
ncers, has been engaged to guard the
stretches.
Sheriff Cruise Fred s. Eaton, presi-
dent of the Copper Country Automobile
club and President Joe Wills of the
village Of Laurium, lave been selected
for judges while Geo. Kemp of the
E'irGt National Runlx Tt
village clerk and Frank Getchell man
lger of the Calumet garage have been
