Five Records Set
In winning, the Safety Stutz set
new stock car records for five, ten,
twenty-five and 100 miles, these be-
ing the only distances within that
limit that are recognized for rec
ords by the A. A. A. The best aver
age at any of these distances was at
the fifty-mile mark, when Ander-
sons average was 1856 miles per
hour.
The ability of the tires to with
stand the terrific punishment was
actually the determining factor in
setting the speed. During the pre-
race practice, the cars had reached
a speed of 105 miles an hour.

A traffic policeman in speedy
roadster scoots out of a side street,
where any other driver has to stop
first. A motorcycle cop rushes
through traffic winding in and out
of lanes recklessly, where any other
motorist would soon be apprehended
for reckless driving. Acts like these
are unnecessary. even in the case
OF the high and mighty police, ex-
cept when they are rushing to fire,
to a hospital or after a prospective
victim. Reckless driving and mat
tention to the motor laws they are
assigned to see respected not only
add to the dangers Of motoring but
set a poor example to the citizenry.
A preacher, above all, must be

is the preacher of the highways. He

Ex RICHARD IS HAPPY EXPECTS DEMPSEY TO GET BACK SHAP
Gotham Fistic Promoter Be-
Iieves Ex-Champ Will

BIZ Times SpecioI
NEW YORK, March Conan
Doyle believes in fairies, children cry
for Castoria and Tex Richard ex-
poets Jack Dempsey to return to
fighting form and save the some
what dilapidated heavyweight situa-
ton from making noise like a
water-soaked torpedo on July 5.
Richard was as happy as school,
boy with the German measles Mon
day when he waved a telegram from
Dempsey saying the former Manassa
Mauler was about to enter the gym
nasium and have a try at condition
ing himself for another 100000
performance.
Ear-to-Ear Grin
And today, when Tex learned of the
report from Los Angeles quoting the
former worlds heavyweight cham
pion as saying he would be ready in
thirty days, an ear-to-ear grin APP
peared on the Garden promoters
face.
Tex knows that his plans for a
Tunney fight next fall depend upon
the injection of the colorful person
atty of one William Harrison Demp-
sey into the picture. Otherwise, it
hardly would be worth while to or
der Gene into training.
Richards cheerfulness is the di-
rect result of the telegram from the
former champ, for it is no secret
that the promoter was very blue over
the outcome of some recent at
fairs in Madison Square Garden.
Not Even in Sight
With only the best of those Bos-
ton playmates, Sharkey and Ma
loney, to match against Gene Tun-
ney in September, not even the op-
timistic Mr.. Richard could foresee
a gate which would enable him to
pay the present champion his
100000 guarantee.
Sharkey and Maloney have been
matched definitely for May 10. The
date of this all-Boston scrap has
been moved up week to allow more
time for subsequent scraps in view
of what Richard believes to be

said he would go ahead and get in

to giving veterans more than a one

first long workout today, having
reached camp late Tuesday. Players
absent are Pitchers Schupp. Koupal

and Infielder Ralph Miller.

Smith wired.

Being a playing pilot Is no soft
snap. Bethel works at second part
time each day while Trainer Pierce
hits to the infield and later Sticking

out the two major outfits for surplus
talent, but received no encourage
