Arrive This Week.

Practically all OF the above drivers
and cars will arrive In Omaha the end
Of this week or the first of next. 1t
is believed over dozen of the pilots
will be in Omaha by Thursday or
Friday and that by Sunday they will
be able to take the track for practice
spins. Those drivers who will race
at Sioux City and Minneapolis Tues
day will ship their cars to Omaha
directly after the races so they will be
here Thursday at the latest.
Eddie Rickenbacher and Pete Hen
derson have wired that they will ar
rive Thursday. Their cars are already
in Omaha so they will be ready to
take the track Immediately upon their
arrival.
Dario Resta, who Is not entered at
either Sioux City or Minneapolis, is
expected the last of the week and the
present plan is to have the famous
Italian take a crack at few of the
existing records next Sunday. 1t is
believed Dario. could put the finishing
touches to a number of marks on this
track.
Work on the Speedway is being
pushed day and night now so that
everything. will be in tip-top shape by
the time the cars and drivers arrive.
The Locust street viaduct, which was
recently burned, has already been
cribbed up so that the street cars run
over 1t and few more days will see
the surface in shape to hold automo-
biles and other vehicles.

Burwell, Neb, July l.-(Special)-
Burwell golf enthusiasts to the num-
Der of thirty met last night and eff
fected permanent organization. L. B.
Fenner was elected president, F. w.
Manisal, vice president, and Guy Law
crt,, secretary and treasurer. They,
together with Harry Hallock and J. A.
Gavin, constitute the board of trus-
tees. They have rented field two

climbed right back up again, which
is quite a feat of driving.
Henderson came home second at
Des Moines a week ago, and he and
Eddie together got sixth money at
indianapolis this year. He didn't
drive at Chicago. +......
Pete is too new to the racing game
to have many laurels attached to his
record, and the speed enthusiasts
haven't warmed up to him so that
he's a favorite yet, but believe Us,
Pete is going to show them all some
day and we miss our guess if an
other year or two Of campaigning
doesn't see Henderson ranking with
the very top-notehers of the sport.

FOUR MORE WAGONS
ENTER OMAHA RACE
Harry Harkness Enters Two
French Delages and Pusun
and Rawlings Duluth.
MAKES TOTAL EIGHTEEN
BY FRED s. HUNTER.

Four more cars were yesterday
added to thrrfist of speed wagons
which will takeapart in the pursuit of
fame and fortunein the annual Omaha
Speedway race July Is.
Three of the mounts which were
entered yesterday are cars cam
paigned by Harry Harkness, the New
York millionaire, who is president Of
the Sheepshead Bay Speedway. Two
of the cars are French Delages and
the other is Pusun. The fourth car
is the West Duluth Special, ma
chine with Deusenberg motor that
is campaigned by the West Duluth
Business Mems association of West
Duluth, MINI. .-a
The entry of the Hardness cars
brings two more foreign drivers to
Omaha, Jules Devigne and Alvo
Franchi. Devigne and Franchi Just
recently came to America and their
fame has not yet penetrated into this
part of the country, but over in Eu-
rope they rank as stars of first magni-
tude and those speed enthusiasts who
have seen them in this country during
the short time they have been here
will testify that whenever Devigne
and Franchi are driving it will be a
real race.
Are French Cars.
The Delages Hardness will bring
to Omaha are, with one or two pos
sible exceptions, the most expensive
racing cars in the world today. They
were made in France after the war
had started and they were just
brought to America last winter. They
were brought to this country by Carl
Limberg, who was killed in May at
New York while driving one Of these
mounts in its first appearance here.
Both machines have developed a
speed Of over ITO miles an hour and
unless Devigne and Franchi encounter
motor or tire trouble they should be
among the leaders in the local event.
Spectacular Drivers.
Dcvigne and Franchi are the kind
of drivers who appeal to the specta-
tors. While always as cautious as
possible, they have absolutely no fear
on the track and some Of their tricks
appear nothing short of foolhardy.
Like many European drivers, how
ever, they can perform feats which
other drivers would not attempt. But
they are ncrvy and bhey have the dar-
ing, and they never fail to provide the
brand of thrills which makes the
stands jump to their feet in mixture
of eager anticipation and horror.
The driver Of the third Harkness
car has not been named. There are
several competent drivers, however,
whom Hardness can get on mo-
ment's notice, so it's a ~einch bet the
pilot of the third boat will be man
lcapable Of pushing it into the front
rank.
| Rawlings to Drive.
]. J. Rawlings will tool the West
Duluth Special Rawlings is steady,
consistent driver OF considerable abil-
ity and the West Duluth Special is
good car. It's not as fast as some
Of the others, perhaps, but it can step
off ninety without exerting itself and
ninety is pretty tolerable clip.
The signing of the Hardness and
Duluth cars raises the Omaha entry
list to eighteen cars. And still the
local officials are hot on the trail OF
other drivers and expect to sign up
several more.
The list Of drivers now signed for
the July IS classic is as follows:

TROOP MOVEMENTS GIVEN
NO PUBLICITY FOR PURPOSE

Today there are thousands of Ma
tional Guardsmen moving towards
the border land, but the precaution
has been taken to give no publicity
to their movements. Acting under
the advice of the government rail-
way operating men have grown I'M
communicative and it was impossi-
BILE today to ascertain where the
special train loads that passed thru
Waxahachie were from and where
they were going. This precaution
was not taken to prevent the papers
of the state from giving. the news,
but to make sure that none of the
troop trains were wrecked. 1t IS
expected that by Saturday night
most of the troops now moving VIII
be on the border.
