RESTA WON $81, ,OOO AS
 FAST AUTO DRIVER

New York, Sept. 19-"T certainly feel glad to be back in. racing har- ness again. was Dario Resta's com ment when he took his first look at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway Mon day afternoon, prior to getting ready for the Hardness Trophy race next Saturday.
 Dario Resta, the Italian English speed marvel, who in less than threo years became the foremost racing pilot of the world. spoke thus about his comeback into the game. This will not be a comeback literally, be- cause when he was riding 8 year ago, he was the champion and virtually retired for lack of fields to conquer.
 He met and beat De Palma several times and won in the national cham pionship with safe margin from Johnny Aitken. His races were all won in record time, and victory fa- vored him in every conflict that he finished in.
 This year Ralph De Palma, with his aviation motored Packard, made Ia squirt that flashed him into fame. This was culminated with a three. scored victory over Barney Oldfield and Louis Chevrolet on the Sheeps- head Bay course last month, and the talk in racing circles began to turn into a match or open race with Resta and De Palma as starters. Saturday will be the open race at 10 miles!
 Resta's racing career spells sensa- tion in every page. He started with two victories in San Francisco, in the Vanderbilt Cup and Grand Prize race, and in less than two years was the most talked of man in the game
 Last year he won seven out of Il starts. He collected $S1, 900 in prize money. His notable victories were the Grand Prize race at Indianapolis the Chicago Derby and the Vanderbilt Cup race at Los Angeles.
 He has been hard luck rider al the local course, but believes that the coming race will break his jinx. He has only been beaten once by De Palma, and that was at Indianapolis in 1915, where he crashed into the guard rail and was forced to finish the race at reduced speed on account of bent steering arm.
