1917 Speedway Events.

Speedway events already announced for 11e17 have been divided into two classes, one class being for the award ing of the 1917 championship points in addition to the usual cash prizes. and the other for cash prizes alone.
 Championship races are as follows: Indianapolis. May 30; Chicago. June g; Omaha, June 4; Des Moines, July 2s; September 2s; Providence September 15.
 Other speedway events not in the championship class are: New York, May 19; Cincinnati, June g; Kansas City August 4; Kansas City. October G.; New York, October z; and Chica- go, October 13.
 There has been some talk of reviving pressed at the dinner of the contest board of the American Automobile as- sociation at Chicago, when the cham pionship prizes to drivers in 1916 were awarded, that the Elgin road race, which was first run in 1910 and dis continued in 1915. be put on the cards again.
 James Allison. one of the owners of the Indianapolis speedway announced that this year Indianapolis would re- turn to its original policy and stage a 60e-mile race Decoration day. The total cash prizes will be $50.000. in accordance with the regulations of the A. A. A.. which require an average of s10o per mile for such events.
 Concerning accidents on speedways report of the Chicago meetings says: "The last year has developed the fact that the drivers need concern them selves about little except their motors and the speedways principally the lat ter. On some of the newer speedways last year the number of serious acci- dents have been the cause of suggest ed regulations for 1917 that will prac- tically eliminate the old dangers. The most important suggestion is that committee representing the contest board of the American Automobile as- sociation and the drivers mal1e a per sonal inspection of each course before a sanction is granted and. further more, to make the use of the sanction dependent entirely upon the correction of any dangers that this committee may have found before the start of the race.

 Officials would not disclose the name of the manufacturer nor the agency through which the order was given. It was said that President Wilson and his advisers were firmly resolved that only fair and reasonable charges should be paid by the nation to it's citizens for the things that are necessary to make ready for war.
