ENORMOUS COST
OF AUTO TRACKS
MOTOR sPeEpwAYs REPRESENT
BIG INVESTMENTS FOR LIMIT
Ed NUMBER OF EVENTS.
Opening Race at Cincinnati Speed
way on Labor Day Calls for Ex-
penditure Of $1,000 900.

Some years ago, when various clubs
H. the big baseball leagues we're ex.
pending large sums OF money In con-
structing new grandstands and play
ing fields, the general public was re-
called with glowing accounts OF the
enormous investments that were be-
ing made in the interests Of sport.
While the expenditures for improved
baseball playing fields undoubtedly
have been large, even larger invest
ments are being made in automobile
speedways, especially when one con-
siders that these auto racing tracks
are used but two or three times dur
ing the year. while baseball parks are
utilized for upward Of seventy games
every season.
An example OF the enormous cost
of building an automobile speedway
is offered by the new Cincinnati
Speedway at Sharonville, which has
practically been completed, and which
will be opened with the first inter-
national sweepstakes race at 800
miles on Labor Day, September 4.
The first investment for the plant con-
sisted of the purchase OF half a sec
ton OF fine farming land, the ground
measuring one mile in length and
half a mile In width. Following this
the Speedway Company contracted for
100000 feet Of lumber, so tons Of
spikes. 80 tons Of bolts and straps.
$4,000 sacks Of cement, 1875 teams and
four steam shovels to do 10000 cubic
yards OF excavating, and has en-
ployed continuously more than 1000
men.
The original estimate OF the cost of
the plant was $4,000. but this has
since been increased. And when one
considers the $4,000 offered In prizes.
the employment OF the small army OF
employees for the day OF the race. and
other detail expenses, II will be seen
that fully s1,000,000 will have been
invested when the first race Is run.

UNIQUE HONORS
FOR SPEED MEN
WINNERS IN CINCINNATI SPEED.
WAY RACES TO HAVE ROADS
NAMED AFTER THEM.
Big Money Prizes and Trophies win
Not Be Only Inducements for
Stars In Labor Day Race.

There is a bright prospect that q
number Of roads in Hamilton county.
Ohio, will be rechristened during the
next few years. Arrangements now
are Oeing made by the officials of the
new Cincinnati Speedway, now near
ing completion at Sharonville, by
which the Commissioners of Hamilton
county will select each year a road
that will be named after the winner
OF the international sweepstakes race,
which will be an anYual event on the
Cincinnati track.
This plan is being worked out for
the purpose of giving permanent re-
cognition to the great auto drivers OF
the world because of the effective
work they are doing in the matter OF
stimulating road improvements. II is
generally conceded that the various
speedway races throughout the coun-
try have spurred greater activity in
highway construction and improve
ment than any one element that has
ever entered into this work; and the
management OF the Cincinnati Speed
way feels that too much permanent
honor can not be given the men who
are responsible for this awakening.
With such famous drivers as Resta,
DePalma, Rickenbacher. milford, Ait
ken, Anderson, Chandler, Oldfeld,
Christians, Johnson, Vail and others
starting in the 300-mile. $4,000 race
on Labor Day, the County Commits
sioners OF Hamilton county will be
able to re-christen one of their roads
with the name of a man who enjoys
international fame as a daring and
successful race driver. II is promised
that this Roads of Fame" plan will
be carried out In CONGESTION with
spring meets TO be held at the Cincin-
natl Speedway also.

II is also stated that the national
guard will be retained on the Mexi-
can border until It can be withdrawn
without again endangering American
lives and property. Secretary Baker
so declared the Administrations POI
icy in answering a score Of letters
from many parts Of the country com
planning that the state troops were
being held in service after the emery
ency for which they we're called out
apparently had passed. The secre-
tary replied to all those seeting to
merit attention.
BY its presence on the border, he
wrote to one, the guard Is winning
bloodless victories daily" He de-
clared that American residents along
the international line we're enjoying
q peace and security they could not
know without the military forces to
protect them.
The department appreciates, Mr..
Baker said in another letter. the fact
that a call for military service upon
militia organizations must inevitably
present cases of hardship"
To another correspondent, the sec
rotary explained that the national
guard was maintained for just such
exigencies. He pointed out that ma
tional guardsmen were fully aware Of
the duties they undertook when they
enlisted.
