Tho Indianapolis speedway has been
the leader in tho reduction Of en-

safety. and also the resulting fuel
economy from the long stroke,

that although the engine size has
been cut down the speed averages
have not been materially affected.

caused reduction in car weights.

When I was playing baseball
records didn't mean anything 10 me.
The old Baltimore Orioles won
ball games because of their good
pitching and excellent teamwork,
not individual play.
When I was asked for some in
formation ON the record 1 made by
my ability to keep pitchers from
striking me out I really wasn't able
10 give any correct dope offhaud.
I knew that I had gone tn ough
one entire season in the National
league without striking out I also
knew that was generally credited
with having gone 20 Dat zoo times

used the figures zoo in big black
