Sport.
SOME NOTED DRIVERS COMING

With horse racing made impossible in
the National Capital and race course
on its hands such as the famous Ben
ming track, Washington motor enthusi-
asts will take the first real step on Me-
mortal Day to take a place among the
motor-racing centers of America
The motor contests next Saturday will
at least prove Just what the public
thinks Of the gasoline speed game. with
only the professional experts contesting.
and with any encouragement at all the
club has expressed a desire to rebuild
the Benning course into great mile
speedway and make the Memorial Day
races an annual event
In a geographical way, Washington Is
situated closer to a motor-loving public
than even indianapolis, where annually
they draw more than 100000 people
and hang up the richest purse In the
world for one race, $4,000.
The amateur races held in Washington
heretofore have awakened the National
Capital club to the possibilities OF \
great speedway in Washington. and their
first attempt in drawing the big profes-
sionals here for a race meet has met
with unusual success.
In spite of the fact that the local
club has selected the day on which the
great $4,000 sweepstakes race Is held in
ln0lanapOllS, II mas suSCctucu an ehtci-
ing such famous pilots as Eddie Hearne,
former speedway champion Of the world
and Lou Heinemann. of Chicago. both OF
whom were offered cars in the Indian
apolis classic: together with Johnny
Raimey, Fred Horey, and Joe Clearey,
and succeeded in keeping at home a car
built in Washington especially for the
Indianapolis meet, to help build up WASH
ington as racing center.
The Kline car. built at Richmond, has
asked for entry blanks, and word Is ex-
pected from "wild Bilr' Endicott, dean
of the indianapolis speedway drivers The
motor club Is flushed with the success Of
Its first big attempt at motor racing
and when the specially constructed speed
machines and their famous pilots start
arriving in the city later in the week and
the public sees the expense the club has
gone to, to give the racing fans Of the
city really high-class race meet. the
attendance Is expected to outnumber any
crowd that has been within the enclosure
at Benning in years.
With Baltimore and Washington filled
with speed enthusiasts the support Of
speedway properly conducted is assured.
Entries from the really high-class drivers
win not be wanting. and 1t is up to such
organizations as the National Capital
club to show the undertaking deserves
support.

A fght in the Senate is coming on

Reed to exclude from the United
States the products of convict labor

The bill was introduced by Senator
Stone, of Missouri. The first fight
came on the question of reference.
Certain Senators unfriendly to the bill
urged that it be sent to the Committee
on Finance on that ground that IL
was measure affecting the revenues.
But Senator Stone, an active member
OF that committee. opposed this dispo-
sition of IL.
Southern Democratic Senators will

States free of duty and at prices with
which no American manufacture can
compete in its production. Senator
Stone and his colleague, Senator Reed.
