RESTA FAVORED TO
WIN BIC AUTO RACE

Should Dario Resta, the diminutive auto
racing star, win the first international
sweepstake race, with which the new Gin
cinnati speedway at Sharonville will be
opened on Labor Day, September l. the
victory probably will net him $27, 900, with
an additional prospect of $500, If he
follows the driving plans he usually as
sumes in his big races
This fortune-for it is nothing less-will
come to Resta from two sources The
certain reward of $4,000 comes from the
Cincinnati speedway management, that
amount being set aside out of the $780,
900 purse for the winner of the race.
The additional $4,000 represents the prize
money offered by various manufacturers
of accessories for the driver winning the
most points during 1916. At present Resta
has 2400 points to his credit--nearly 700
more than his nearest competitor-and
winning the big Cincinnati event will add
from 900 to 1000 more points to his score,
according to the number of starters in
the race.
A further reward of $500 is possible
through three prizes of $500 each. offered
by the speedway management, for the
drivers leading at 100, 200 and $50 miles,
respectively. There also are several valu-
able trophies which Resta may annex,
including the Bosch $1,000 trophy represent
ing the 1915 championship, and several
prizes offered by Cincinnati business men
for special performances.
The following list shows how the con-
tcstants for the 1916 championship stand
and indicates that, while Resta Is in the
lead at present, there are other drivers
who will have a chance to land the title
and the big prize that goes with it:

and the amount of enthusiasm shown
by both the riders and the public, the
bicycle race on Labor Day, which Will
start promptly at 2 o'clock from Eighth

will be the most successful ever staged
in Birmingham.
The boys will all put their finishing
touches to their training on Sunday

they are riding the record for the
course is sure to fall.

plainly displayed the riding ability to
be back mark men.

third in the last race.
great deal of speculation as to
what Ped Hickman, the veteran cham

he will stack up against the younger
generation, is freely expressed.
Another one of the older riders and
one who has won many races in and
around Birmingham Is Bob Horton.

race of February 20 and fractured his
skull, but who came back on June .

Laughinhouse, Jack Monk, Harry Finn
and Stanley Stephens, who won the race
of June but was disqualified for cut
ting the course.

ing next in favor, with Skeptic strong
~ supported as the next best in live
ly market.
After a delay of four minutes at the
post they were sent off for good
start. Campfire, breaking from the
outside position, was taken to the
middle of the track by McTaggart,
when he took the lead and held it to
the end. Just once, in the final fur
long, Campfires jockey flashed his
whip and the colt responded gamely,
winning going away. Madeira kept
pace with the leader half a mile but
fell back at that stage, and Rickety,
never far from the pace, challenged
the leader in, the last furlong but
could not get up. Skeptic broke
strongly but gradually gained con-
tending position and made a deter
mined rush in the final sixteenth.
Vivid, well up throughout, finished a
close fourth; Humber fifth, Deer Trap
sixth, Pleasant Dreams seventh, Ma
de.ra and Burlesque next in order, with
Star Finch last.
