NEW YORK. June 80. WP)-
Mister Larry Smits, a large, bald
eagle type of gentleman, who has
no more interest in the enterprise
than a mother has in her first
born, has written me a letter III
which the most intimate and re
vealing details of the Roosevelt
speedway are boldly put down in
black and white.
Immediately on receipt of the let
ter I called Mister Smits and ques-
toned his judgment in sending
such condolences through the mails.
cSuppose," asked him, Il should
suddenly take it in my head to run
your letter, and spread these secrets
of the new speedway all over the
country?"
"Oh. you wouldn't do thatp he
cried into the telephone. But if
you do sneak to such a trick, do
stoop to such a daStardly thing,
please let me know SO I can send
out for some clippings"
I'll show those shrinking publici-
ty relations counSels they can't
frighten me! Here's the letter:

should say, it's the hot-damnest
race track you ever heard of.
"Four miles long! Longest en-
closed track in the world, with every
turn visible from the stand. Six
teen turns in all two of 270 degrees
and four of 1870 degrees! I thought
of putting two exclamation points
after that last one, but the old con
servatism held me back.

owners gaga about the "improve-
ment of the breedD.
Europe you know" the letter
continues, has been going ahead
with road racing while this country
has been letting this most exciting
and demanding form of sport fall
into disuse. The top European
drivers will be at this one, however,
for .$85,000 is not haircut money.
So road racing will come back to
America, and to Long Island, where
some of the brightest chapters of
American racing were written in
Vanderbilt cup days.
'As an old pole fan it might in

Well, the race drivers may not like
the odor of polo ponies, either.

plot and the unexpected solution have
a refreshing quality. Another element
that adds greatly to its entertainment
