REST DIRT TRACK DRIVERS IN
COUNTRY TO BE HERE JULY IL

An extensive program OF automo-
bile racing for purse of ST, 200, with
some Of the most prominent dirt track
drivers in the country entered, will
be held at the Harrison County Fair
grounds July %. Ten star dirt track
drivers will be seen in competition.
Arrangements were made last night
by Bill Breitenstein. Raph Hankin-
son, we'll known Kansas City sports
man and promoter. will underwrite
the purses and handle the meet.
Hankinson was in charge of the
big auto races at Kansas City July
and s, and will bring his original
auto polo team to Missouri Valley as
an extra event. They will play after
the race program.
Confidence was expressed that prac-
tically every driver entered in the
Kansas City meet would drive for the
purses here.
One event that seems certainty
will be the matching Of Larry D..
Stone, English dirt track champion,
with Jimmie Costa, the Italian road
race champion. Stone cracked his
way into the motor limelight last Sun
day at Crown Point, Ind, when he
COPIED the worlds records for half
| mile and mile on half -mile dirt
track, doing what had been considered
an impossibility, the feat Of turning
a half-mile track at rate above
sixty miles an hour.
The feature of his victory was that
four minutes before, Costa in his win
ming Fiat, had broken the previous
records held by Haughdahl. The Ital-
ian retained his honors less than five
minutes when Stone esayed forth in
the Duesenberg and added two more
records to that cars former holdings,
which had included the worlds five
ten, fifteen, twenty and twenty-fv
mile records for half mile tracs made
in competition.
The races will be held under a
track franchise of the International
Motor Contests association, Of which
Brietenstein is an official representa-
tive. Winnings of the stars entered
here will be recorded to decide the
1920 dirt track racing title. No rec
ords were broken in 1919 at any point
in the United States, so it is logical
that Stone can rightfully claim the
1920 worlds title to date although
that has not been officially recorded
by the governing association.
Costa Broke Record Recently
Costa's biggest bid to fame this year
was his speed at Toledo, Ohio, re-
Gently. when he clipped three seconds
off the standing Ohio records Of Ralph
De Palma and Liuos Chevrolet.
I The track will be conditioned for
the events and every effort will be
made for the accommodation Of the
crowds.
Missouri Valley and Harrison coun-
ty is surely lucky to secure these in
ternationally known race drivers.
But for an open date, town Of this
size would not be considered.
