Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-01-06

,much valuable publicity throughout
the United States at very little ex-
pense.
Mr.. Treadwen believes that the
time has arrived when Arizona should
have a state automobile racing as
soc!ation composed of cities like
Douglas, Bisbee, Globe, Miami, Je-
rome, Prescott, Flagstaff, Winslow,
Nogales, Yuma, Phoenix and other
communities able to maintain rae
ing car.
Mr. Treadwells idea is to have
each city maintain racing car, and
instead of racing for supremacy for
some make of car, the different cities
regardless of the make of the car
representing the community.
Numerous TryOuts
This would result in numerous
small tryouts among the different
makes of automobiles of different
Arizona towns for championship of
that particular city, and the winner
of the tryout would then be able to
race in the big, final race for SUI
preme championship of Arizona.
These races would result in a count
less number of automobile races in
the state, naturally draw the atten-
tion of every sportsman in every
state in the Union to Arizona, and
result in volumes and volumes of the
fiAest kind of Advertising. Automo-
bile factories would become interests
ed, and Immediately begin operations
to get in on such arrangement. If.
such association could be started,
and the automobile manufacturers or
the United States could be made to
see the possibilities of such venture,
there is hardly any question Of their
supp orting the movement.
Mr.. Treadwell further stated that
he thought the automobile racing of
the association should he conducted
under the management of some live
civic organization like the Disabled
Veterans with A. a. A. contest Off
cerss present to authenticate all rec
ords. He thinks this arrangement
would keep Arizona racing on the
sport pages of every paper in the
United states, Canada and Mexico.

MOriarity Impressed
George Ii. Noriarity, Arizona mem
Der Of the A. A. A. contest board was
on the subject, and was
very favorably impressed with the
idea. Mr.. Mcriarity stated that some
very successful! racing meets have
been held in Arizona; that the mile
track at the Arizona state fair
grounds is very fast, and in case the
state association was organized some
Glrt track records would Immediately
be broken here.
Mr.. Moriarity highly praised Ari-
racing cars here. He stated that |
are in the game for the love of it |
and will always do their best on
every occasion.
Several Chambers of Commerce IN
various parts of the state have been |
consulted about the feasibility of an I
association, and they are uniformly |
for it.
Il. A. Herring of Douglas and Rob
ert Hamilton of Bisbee Chambers of
Commerce are both for anything that
will put Arizona in the spotlight.
Roger w. Birdseye at Flagstaff, c. /
L. Hurphy, secretary of the Winslow
Chamber of Commerce, can be de-
pended on to be for the state organ
zation.
Communities Favor Plan
Globe, Miami Prescott Stafford and
1ther communities will be consulted
n the matter and without question
will be very favorably inclined to-
ward the proposition.
Local dealers think that the state
association should be made purely an
Arizona affair." and agree that ev-
.ry driver and his car should be at
east six months in the state before
Eligible to enter a contest.
Arizona has several drivers capa-
lie of giving any pilots in the Unit
d States run for honors. For in
