CLASSIC
NEXT MONTH

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 25.-Deter-
mined to make the annual Thanksgiv-
ing Day motor race at Beverly the
real classic of the two miles a minute
sport, the directors of the Los An
geles Speedway Association, at a
meeting held yesterday, approved
plans which have been in a formu-
lative state for several weeks that
will insure the coming Turkey Day
race being the most spectacular,
thrilling and most bitterly contested
event ever staged in any part of the
world.
The officials went on record as ia
voring but two events annually with
oval. The Thanksgiving race, which
will be a long distance contest and a
series of sprint races to be held later
in the spring than heretofore. Hence
forth the speed plant will be the
scene of no spectacles other than
those presented by the disciples of
IJuggernaut.
Contrary to a strong rumor in eff
feet, Immediately following the sprint
races of last spring, the Thanksgiving
Day classic will be at distance Of
250 miles. The pri;c list will amount
to a total of $4,000, ten thousand
dollars of the amount being made up
by the merchants lap prize fund.
This will make the Los Angeles race
the richest event per mile in the
country.
While the rules of the American
Automobile Association prohibit the
starting of more than 18 cars on the
speedway, application has been made
to Chairman Kennerdeli of the con-
test board to raise the limit to 25
starters. Mr.. Kennerdell's attention
was called to the fact that the limit
rile was promulgated before the Bev-
erly track was built and that condi-
tions which caused the original rule
to be inserted in the official list of
"thou shalt nots" no not exist at Bev-
erly.
The speedway here is the safest in
the world and it's width and scientific
banking will enable 25 cars to race at
top speed with no more than reas-
enable degree of danger. Racing fans
believe that the request will be grant
ed and that the largest field ever
witnessed in action in the West will
face the starter on Thanksgiving Day

Will Be Interned Until Gov

of Ruined Monarch: to Be,
in Charge of British OF
ficerS
(By Associates Press)

BUDAPEST, Oct. 25.-The orders
sent the rebellious troops by Admiral
Horthy, Hungarian regent, spelled
doom for Charles attempt to regain
at least part Of his former empire.
The regent reminded the soldiers that
their oaths Of allegiance to him de-
mandcd their unconditional oD- dance,
and also stating that success IN Their
undertaking would mean ruin to the
country. The firm stand taken hy
4olthy had its effect, the Royalist
troops bong badly scattered with the
government troops continuing in pur-
suit. Karlist, premier. n. Rakovisky
and Count Andrassy were among the
supporters Of the former monarch
captured by the loyal troops.
The advisability of interning
Charles in. the Abbey of Tihany until
the allies have finally decided his fate,
is being discussed by the government.
1t is believed that no country would
be willing to grant him an asylum,
and it was considered probable that
he would be delivered to the British
officers, who would escort him to
some place which II is hoped the al
lies would designate.
