BILLY ARNOLD DUAL
AUTO RACING CHAMP
Youthful Chicago Driver Wins
500-Mile as Well as National
Speed Title.
BETTY NUTHALL.

The 1880 automobile racing season
saw the rise of Billy Arnold, 23-year-
old Chicago driver. Arnold captured
both the 500-mile indianapolis Speed
way race on Memorial day. as well as
the national speed championship. In
both cases he was followed by shorty
Canton of Detroit.
Arnold won the speed championship
by piling up 1,027.5 points in the
eight meetings, and Canton amassed
$50. In the Memorial day race Arnold
led the field from the start, and before
a huge crowd of 10000 persons drove
over the finish line several minutes
ahead of Canton. The race at In
dianapolis was marked by series OF
accidents and smash-ups, only IA OF
the So starters finishing. Louis Schnei-
der was third, Lou Meyers fourth and
william Cummings fifth.
With the new types OF cars prescribed
late in 1929 came new champions, and
the standing for 1880 shows many new
are either far behind or off the list
entirely, and some who ranked twelfth
to twentieth in 1929 are found among
the first 10 for 1880.
In the dirt track races Wilbur Shaw
won the 1OO-mile event at Toledo and
William Cummings the race OF the
same distance at Syracuse.
There were no speed trials to speak
Of which could rival the efforts OF
Sir Henry Segrave in 1929, but Kaye
Don set a new American record for
the five-mile route at Daytor1a Beach,
Fla, in March. when he traversed the
distance in 1:58.715, an average Of
Isl 623.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE
BY WALTER r. McCALLUM-

over a water soaked course last Janu-
airy. On January and will be held
the amateur pro best ball tournament
at Santa Monica with prizes totaling
$500.
The motion picture industries are
playing around with the idea of holding
a match play tournament the third
week in January, whose prize money, If
the tourney is held, probably will total
$10.0 900 or more. That event will wind
up the California season, and the pros
will then move on to Texas, where the
San Antonio open, with $4,000 in
money prizes, awaits them, beginning
February l. Then will come the Har-
linger open with $500 and there are
two tournaments pending during the
balance of February.
Florida has scheduled a flock of open
tournaments. but with the exception OF
the La GORGE, with its $4,000 prize
money. none of them come up to the
standard in prizes of the California
open events. The Florida season runs
through February and most of March,
and here Is the list of tournaments al
ready scheduled: Pensacola open.
So, 900: ST. Petersburgh open, $1,500;
Orlando open, $4,000; La GORGE. S15,-
600. Then comes the North and South
open at Pinehurst. with $500 in cold
cash, on March 20 and 81, and the
Southeastern open, at Augusta, with
prize money totaling $4,000.
Bob Harlow, who runs the tourna-
ment bureau OF the P. q. A. has been
rather busy for the past two or three
months fixing up events, but there is
no doubt there has been some dissen-
sion in the matter of paying 10 per
cent of the net prize money to the btu
reau before the tourney Is played. How
ever Albert r. Gates. business admins
traitor of the P. c. A., is backing Har-
low to the limit and denies that the
erstWhile manager of Walter Hagen is
through. Gates has come out with a
statement that the situation regarding
the 10 per cent will be eliminated, and
expenses incurred through operation of
the bureau will be taken care of in
some other way.
Harlow is working hard. and If the
tournaments which are pending are ac-
tually held the professionals, through
the whole Winter season, will have had
something like $130,000 to shoot at
-Four or five years ago, when the La
Gorce open, with its $4,000 prize
money, was announced. people gasped
at the amount. But nowadays the La
GORGE is only one of three big events,
and the minor tournaments are boost
ing the ante, too. The professionals,
after all, do not have a bad time of it,
even though 1t costs considerable money
to tour the country and play golf. If
an individual wins first money in any
of the tournaments, he is assured of his
expenses, and If he is consistently in
the first five or six, as Horton Smith
was last Winter, he will show a nice
profit, while engaged in the work he
likes best.
