Show J. -- if' J A (3 SECTION OTTxc THE DESERET NEWS, SATURDAY, MAY OAEANS SPEEDWAY MAY The history qf world pi from th beginning of eivlUaatlon has been marked by a constant shifting of leadership toward ths 'west. So It is also with automobils racing. When the sport first be ,1 cams popular with Americans its canter was along the Atlantlo coast. Then in 1911 Indianapolis held Its first 600 mile race and ever since the Hoosler capital has enjoyed the privilege of being as the big racing acknowledged oenter of America. However, the Paolflo boast was 'act to be overlooked, and in a few years time the southern part of California enjoyed some of the big gest speed events In the United States. Then came the famoue Beverly Hills board oval, situated in Los Angeles. The racing drivers all moved to the southern metropolis, aSd so that city became the reoog-nixe- d leader of western space annihilation, and more especially so since Harry A. Miller, builder of the famous motor bearing hie name that now holds ail speedway events for all distances, located there. But Jack Prince, vice president of the new association which is to build a mils and a half traok near Hayward, prediots a shifting of this leadership northward to San Francisco,, Oakland, and in fact all Northern California. Prince la to begin construction on tho new oval within a short while, and when It is finished he is of the opinion that there will be a complete change in the sport as It is today. "The plaint at Hayward is to be altogether different from anything I have ever attempted before. Throughout my years of atperlsnoe which I have gained from building speedwaya motordromes, and bicycle tracks, I have learned certain things, the good points of which 1 have Incorporated in the plans for nay newest, and, I hope, greatest course. I have already showed the blueprints to Harry Miller, and he Is .unusually enthusiastic about them. He has approved of everything I have done, and ha assured mg that Just as soon as 1 havea driven th last nail he will have car ready to go after records. Mile and a Half Ttrok, "Ever since I have-bee- n building tHese speedways, such men as Fred Vi STATES CONSIDERING Duesenberg, Louis Chevrolet, build r of the Frontenao, and Colonel Vlnoent of th Packard, have been after me to put up an oval a mil and a half In circumference.'They realise that the mil and a quarter bowl has certain limitations that only allow progress to be made up to a certain point. But the track 4 quarter of a mile longer not only Anbodles all of tb excellent qualities of the mil and a quarter plants but It also allows a greater rang of motor chassis Improvement. "When the Hayward plant la completed I will be willing to stake (1,000 with anv man that the cars now doing 125 miles an hour will turn the new bowl at a speed at least five miles an hour faster. In fact.

Ther will be no more need for tlr changing, and this will add to the thrills, from the spectators standpoint. Instead of, having two or three men battling with the leader it will mean that nearly all of th oompetitore will be out for honors OARS FOR TRACK . "I believe that It will be only a matter of a short while after I have the track ready for practice before both Fred and Augle as well as Louis Chevrolet, will have oars on the speedway They realize that from then on everything new is to be learned right hore in northern California, and not In tha east, as has been th og in the past Colonel Vincent , has also assured me that Packard will be on hand with the rest of them. "The bringing of these prominent men In auto racing to the Pacific coast and to northern Califiy-na- t Is certainly a boost for the west And, probably, if the right men It got behind th proposition, might be possible to have them tru to ltd build her their cars. The most sucessful auto- - In 'Wyoming the Barksdale bill providing for reglstraUon ..of all motor vehioles, and also providing for state and municipal police Inspection, is the first serious effort there to provide stautee aimed at discouraging the thefts of motor oars. Tha law also provides for penalties to thieves. Both of these measures have ai- -, ready become law. The legislatures of Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware. Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina. Houth Dakota, Tennessee failed to pass measures that were writ-te- g with a view to discourage thievery and to safeguard the Interests of the automobile owners. In Indiana and Minnesota! tnere wers efforts to alter existing statutes out failed In both instances.

In Now Tork ther - are In the hopper. Ther btlla three were three In the Pennsylvania legislature.
