WINCHESTER RACES Large Field Os Drivers Ready For Races On July 4 After having one of the most successful meets ever held in the history of the Funk speedway, May 30 during which four world's records were broken the management has just announced that the second meet of the season which will be held July 4, will be a free for all open event. This Is the first open meet to be held on the Winchester track and will undoubtedly draw a large field and variety of cars. By holding a free for all meet all the cars made ineligible for the board and brick tracks by the A. A. A. piston displacement limit of 122 cubic inches will be given an opportunity to enter. Although the world's record for the half mile oval was broken by five different cars May 30, it will be interesting to learn just what the big cars can do, as the banking of the turns on the Funk track allows /much greater speed than the track ■has been turned in. The races May 30, were limited to cars of 183 cubic inch piston displacement. I At this date eight entries have been received and applications for entry blanks are being received daily from all over the United States. It has been predicted by close foliowars that the present world's record of 29 seconds for the half mile will be I lowered to 27 seconds in the coming meet. The entries are in charge of W. L. Hunt, Indianapolis. Entries for the Decoration Day races close midnight of June 30. ! Harding In Idaho Today (United Press Service) With President Harding, En Route to Pocatello, Idaho, June 28—(Special to Daily Democrat) —“Bill" Borah's state received President Harding today. The president was to speak at Pocatello at noon. The subject was not known in advance, but it was intimated Mr. Harding probably would refer to the world court. His advocacy of that proposal is growing more vigorous daily and while his reference to it in Idaho will be such as not to constitute offense to Senator Borah, they probably will be pointed, if he decided to mention the subject. 0 Where Wisdom Begins.
