LANGHORNE RACES RAINED
OUT
RAINED
Will Be Held August 10 at Mammoth
Speedway

Speedway
Langhorne, Pa, Aug. 14.-Rained
out last Sunday, the Eastern A.A.A.
championship automobile races at
the mammoth Langhorne Speedway
will be held Sunday afternoon, Aug
ust IS, with a much larger array OF
renowned drivers expected to par
ticipate than that which was slated
to answer the starters flag on the
original date.
The entire original entry list OF
more than two score of topf1igh.
drivers remains eligible for this Sun
day afternoon Chef Gardner, Billy
VIM, Doc Mackenzie, Bob Sail, Ted
Horn, Vern Orenduff, Ken Fowler
Ben Shaw, Walt KEEPER Johnny Dun
can and Len Perry are included
among this group.
In accordance with the rules OF
the contest Beard of the American
Automobile Association, entries have
been re-opened, thus making it pos
sible for drivers not originally enter
ed to sign up. This will result in the
appearance of many nationally
famous stars who were unable tc
enter the first date due to conflicting
engagements.
The event here Sunday will I'M
doubtedly decide the bitter fight for
the Eastern championship now being
waged by the flying Doc Mackenzie,
bearded sensation of Eddington, Pa,
who leads the mad scramble for the
title, and Bob Sail, popular Italian
youth of Paterson, N. j., who is close
behind Mackenzie in second position
A victory for Mackenzie will virtu-
ally clinch the speed crown for him.
He now holds 60 point lead. The
feature event-a fifty miler--on
Sundays card here carries IA
points. Thus, a Mackenzie triumph
would give Doc a lead of such size
that it would be practically impos-
sible for Sail to overcome. On the
other hand, win by Sail would
shove the Jerseyan away out in front,
and, it is believed that once Bobbie
is in the lead, it would be difficult
for anyone to overtake him.
Six events, rffering 100 miles of
thrilling competition, make up Sun
days program.
The Langhorne course will be in
perfect condition for the speed
jousts. A heavy application of oil
was made last week. 1t was this
treatment, which, when rain fell,
necesstated the postponement, as the
track became so slick it was impos-
sible to race The weeks lapse since
has put the track in excellent shape.
making it not only dustless but
extremely fast.
