Its the fire ball, the bullet pass, the cannon ball serve, the fast break that bring the fans to their feet. Paradoxically, when we think of speed in competition we rarely think of one sport thats common to albile most every section of the racing. Compared with baseball or football it has but few loyal fans, yet hundreds of thouy sands of persons thrill k to speed demons at county and state fairs from coast to coast. Speed became an important sporting factor for the gasoline engine back in 1898 when the first recorded effort to set up record time for one mile was made by one Chasseloup Laubat, in France, who drove a Jentaud at the then amazing rate of 39,24 miles per hour. The good people of France were in a dither. That speed, in an automobile, was too great for the human anatomy to withstand. WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS By Edward C.

The same year a run was made from Paris to Bordeaux and return a total distance of 744 miles. The average speed was a resounding 15 78-mi- le miles per hour. It remained for the former Chito pioneer racing cago Times-Heral- d In this country. The paper sponsored a reliability run from the heart of the city to the suburbs and back-so- me 54 miles. The year was 1895 and the winner J. F. Duryea, who drove a car of his own design at the terrific speed of 7H miles per hour. That couldnt compare with a Tilden serve or a Feller fire ball, hut it was burning up the road for an automobile of those days. As thg' number of cars increased and speeds became greater, there were more and more road races, each of longer distance and with more competitors. There was no rule book for these affairs only a verbal contestants. among agreement Auto racing lacked an official status until 1905, when Charles J. Glidden, a Cleveland millionaire, put up a trophy and a committee was organized to frame rules to govern an annual road race. Along in 1907, when Frank Chances Chicago Cubs were battling it out with Detroit for the pennant and the forward pass was just becoming part of football, it was decided that road races were too dangerous for both drivers and spectators. Thus use of public roads for speed competition was abandoned and the speedway came into its own. A form of the road race remains today, however, according to Bard ney Roos, chief engineer of Motors and long-tim- e auto racing fan. Economy find stamina events have replaced actual speed competitions. Conducted under controlled conditions and featuring stock cars, these runs are designed to test automobile performance, not to thrill spectators. Willys-Overlan- Racing Capital For the fans, speed is still the turnstile spinner. The first motor speedway was built at Indianapolis. Success there led to construction of similar racing ovals in other parts of the country. Bat Indianapolis alone became a colossal success, and the gigantic structures that mushroomed up in New York and other large cities eventually were dismantled. Hoosierdoms racing capital was built in 1909, completed in 1910, and has a paid attendance capacity of approximately 200,000. The first international race was run in 1911 and the winner was Ray Harroun, who covered the distance in a Marmon at an average speed of 74.59 miles per hour. Floyd Davis and Mauri Rose captured the latest event in Roses Lencki Special at an average speed of 115.2 miles an hour. Although six, eight, 12 and even racing cars also compete in the event, four cylinder jobs have captured 10 firsts in the last 25 years. And it isnt out of place to mention the gent who has traveled faster on land than any other person in history. He is John R. Cobb, Englishman, who sent his Railton Red Lion over the salt flats of Bonneville, Utah, at 369.7 miles an hour. Which is exactly 362.2 miles an hour faster than Mr. Duryeas record of 1895. 500-mi- four-cylind-er le shock-heade- Cousin Carrie has things figured out.
