The former hve-mlle record, which
Resta broke yesterday, was three min
utes fiat, made by Tom Orr on the
local speedway last year. The former
twenty-five mile record was 1870,
made by Barney Oldheld at Indian
apolis in 1914.
Eleven Cars Speed.
About 1000 speed enthusiasts
turned out yesterday to see the speed
trials of which the Resta and Ricken-
bacher achievements were features.
And they saw the real article in the
way of speed. Eleven cars were on
the track and all of them clipped off
the mileage at averages around the
100 mark
Wilbur D'Alene was the first man
on the track. Wilbur put his Duesen-
berg around at over 100 couple of
times and came in declaring the
Omaha track was some track.
D'Alene went around for few laps
couple Of other times and had no
difficulty at all in holding the turns.
Wilbur's Duesy was popping in good
form and if it hits the same way Sat
urday, this youngster will be a con-
tender from flag to flag
Franchi Hits Dirt.
Two of the Hardness cars, which
went on the track yesterday, gave
the crowd a couple of thrills. Alvo
Franchi in his Pusun tried to take
the first turn high on the boards at
the start He was only going 40 miles
an hour at the time and his car
dropped like shot. He was car
rier into the dirt before he could
right himself, but he pulled the boat
back on the track all right and con-
tinued on his way as if nothing had
happened.
After circling the track a couple
Of times Jues Devigne discovered his
engine was on fire and had to pull up
to squirt Piren into it.
After Franchi got his Pusun to
going a little later in the afternoon
he turned some fast laps for the
crowd. He was clicked at l07 and
1903 a couple Of times
Crawfords On Job
All three of the Crawfords were
on the job yesterday, and all turned
around 90 and 90 Billy Chandler
and Art Johnson, who, it will be
remembered rode with Billy here
last year, raced each other nip and
tuck for three or four laps until
Billy's engine missed and he had to
drop back. Dave Lewis also made
some fast time with his Crawford

ROURKES TAKE TWO
MORE FROM LINCOLN
Nab Both Games by Single
Score, But Lead Early in
Each Contest.
MARSHALL'S PLAY FEATURE

The Rourkes opened wide gap be-
tween themselves and Lincoln, rum
ners-up in the Western league race,
by taking a double-header Sunday
afternoon, S to 4 and to 3.
While the games were close, there
was little excitement over the pro-
ceeding. In both contests the locals
took a goodly early lead, and, while
the opposition was threatening at
times, it never succeeded in overcom-
ing the advantage.
Lincoln scored first in the opening
game, driving home run in the sec
ond inning when Lober was safe on
Miller's excusable error on his
grounder, got around to second on
an out and came home on Morse's
double to right.
The Rourkes cinched the game in
their half Of the third, and did the
business after two were down. Smith
singled to right, and Krug put an
other jolt in the same place, Smith
taking third; and Marty then swiped
second. Halla grew wild, walking
Thompson and Miller, Smith being
forced home, and Ernie Kruger then
cleaned the sacks with double to
the left field fence, the inning netting
four runs.
Pair in Sixth.
Lincoln took a pair in the sixth
when Carlisle walked. T. Smith
singled, Thomson sacrificed and Lo-
Der and baltimore singled. The
Rourkes took one in the seventh on
Burg's single, Bruck's sacrifice and
E. Smiths double to center.
Things looked bad momentarily in
the ninth when baltimore opened
with a double, and Harry Williams
sent him home with a duplicate clout.
Morse sacrificed, Johnson drove one
down the third base line, Burg catch
ing Williams off the sack, and Hinch-
man, batting for Halla, popped to
Krug.
Marshall's Play Stellar.
The second game was a pitching
duel between O'Toole and East, with
the Lincoln twirler having the edge
with the exception of the first in
ming Bob Marshall's work at bat, in
catching and on the base lines fea-
tured. He nabbed three hits in three
times up, the locals getting but five
all told. One of his hits was
double, and he pulled neat delayed
steal of third base in the fourth, en-
aiding him to score on sacrifice fly.
The Rourkes got away with flying
start, Smith being hit by pitched
ball and advancing to third on Krug's
sacrifice and ]. Thompson's out.
Miller walked, stole second and scored
with Smith on Marshall's single to
right. Marshall took second on the
throw home and himself came in on
Forsythe's double. The other Rourke
run was scored by Marshall in the
fourth on a double, his steal of third
and Forsythe's sacrifice fly.
Lincoln's first run came on T.
Smiths safety, granted by O'Toole's
error, and Lober's double in he first.
A walk to Carlisle with one down, fol-
lowed by singles by T. Smith and
Thomson, counted one more in the
sixth, and their last furry in the
eighth produced one more tally out
of singles by Carlisle, Thomson and
Lober.

TWO NEW WORLDS
RECORDS ARE MADE
Dario Resta Establishes New
Mark for Five Miles and
Rick for Twenty Five.
ELEVEN CARS ON TRACK
BY FRED s. HUNTER.

Two new worlds records were esta-
blished on the Omaha speedway yes
terday afternoon, Dario Resta broke
the hve-mile record by spinning the
distance in 2:44.S2, a gate of 1904
miles an hour, and Eddie Ricken-
bacher shattered the twenty-five
mile mark by travelling the quarter
century in i4:3647, a clip of 1926
miles an hour. Both of these records
were registered by the electric timer,
so there will be no dispute over their
legality.
Resta also broke the track record
for single lap. On his first lap of
the fve-mile dash, Dario looped the
saucer in Al seconds, a rate Of 10
miles an hour That is the fastest
time ever made on the local speed
way, and is a record for mile and a
quarter tracks.
The Peugeot driver, by turning the
fast lap, was the first of the drivers
to qualify. That the 4l-second mark
will not be bettered is the verdict
of the railbirds, so it is believed that
Resta will get the pole in the l50-
mile classic next Saturday. Resta is
privileged to make two more time
trials in the qualifications and it is
possible, of course, that he will set up
still faster mark.
Rick Holds Fast Pace.
Richenbacher, in establishing the
new twenty-five mile record, main
tanned a steady pace throughout. He
turned the first fve-miles at 1903 miles
an hour. the first ten at the same
pace, and the fifteen, twenty and
twenty-five at a fraction over l02
miles an hour Kicks time at each
FIVE miles was as follows:
