Irwin Putty Hoffman, the ely
ing Dutchman' from Racine, Wis
consin, wants just one cigar, one
which combines the essentials Of a
talisman with those of a pleasing
smoke. But it must be lucky cigar.
Everywhere he races, and he has
entered competition on specifically
every speedway in the middle west,
Hoffman hopes to receive 'lucky
cigar" from some admirer or speed
enthusiast.
Perhaps the Wisconsin speedster
will need more than his recognized
skill and reckless daring when he
takes the tape Wednesday, July 4th,
for the professional auto races at
the new Bismarck fair grounds.
against one of the greatest fields of
speed merchants ever seen in the
state.
The $4,000 purse hung up by the
independence Day celebration COM
mittee attracted Swan Peterson, the
Scandinavian motor king, Emory
"Spunk" Collins, Canadian champion
and. holder of many American dirt
track records, from Regina, Canada,
and other nationally known dirt
track racers, as well as a number of
North Dakota speedsters.
Chairman w. S. Ayers has de-
c!ared he will offer Hoffman a good
cigar hoping that this will be the
stogie that he has longed and wait
ed for. Mr.. Ayers does not want
any racing machines going through
the fence or blowing up in a crash
on the hazardous turns Of. the new
Bryan dirt speedway on the Bis
marck fair grounds.
With a stellar field of speed mer-
chants, fair officials are predicting
thrills galore and banner crowds
when the throttle stampers hit the
turns in their motor battles july 4.
The program starts at 3 o'clock,
Central time.
