.SEGRAVE ASKED
To TRY SPEED

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. S
I'm. 8. .l.- Efforts are being, made
to bring Mai. III. o. ID. Segrave,
London, former holder ofs the
worlds automobile speed record,
here is January to try for new
record.
Segraye was the holder of a
mark Of 195 miles an hour made in
1927 on the beach course at Day
tona Beach. The mark was broken
last March by Ray Keeci1 and q
new one OF. 207.55 miles an hour
established.
Segraye recently announced he
had finished new giant racing
machine out of which he expected
to get speed OF 248 miles an hour.
He said at that time he probably
would run in the annual speed
classic at Daytona Beach In March.
Local business men want the
English driver to bring his machine
to Jacksonville Beach, on the At
lantic ocean near here. They are
conducting negotiations now with
Segrave's American manager.
