SIPPETS

HUNTINGTON TO HOLD AUTO RACES Huntington, May 15. —(Special) — The new SIOO,OOO Huntington Speedway, which opened iMt August and was pronounced by racing experts as one of the finest dirt track plants in the country, will inaugurate the 1929 racing season on Sunday, May 19, with a seven-event card that will again bring to Huntington some of the best drivers known to the racing sport. The success of last season's racing at the big Huntington oval has prompted the management of the track to make elaborate plans for the 1929 season. Three races will be held during the season, and there is a possibility of a fourth card according to a statement issued by Frank E. Funk, president of the Huntington Speedway. An auspicious opening is planned for Sunday. Many improvements have been made at the track, including new arrangements to facilitate handling the crowds and auto parking. The huge grandstand will accomodate 10,000 and there are acres of free parking space. The speedway will be bedecked in colorful dress for the opening of the 1929 season. The gates will be opened at 6 o’clock Sunday morning with the time trials starting at 9 o’clock. The racing will start at 2 o’clock sharp, central standard time. However, it is expected that the crowds will commence to flock to the track from as early as 9 o'clock in the i morning and starting at noop there, will be band concerts and entertainment. The new amplification system used at the speedway to broadcast announcements and music to every corner of the grandstand is considered to be the finest installation of its kind in any racing plant in the country.

Entries are still pouring in and it looks like the leading speed demons from all parts of the country will be on hand for the opening to battle it out with the big dough the main thought jn their minds. Among the early entries Is Dutch Bauman of Indianapolis, driving his famous “Dace,” who carried away the lion’s share of the dough at the Huntington speedway last August and showed all the boys how to do the job on a big scale. There will be thirty starters in Sunday’s preliminaries, with cars from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio. Michigan and Wisconsin participating. The fifteen mile Grand Final, free for all. and the One-lap go for a new track record are two of the outstanding features of the opening card. The program of events follows: Event One—s-lap dash car —open to the 12 fastest cars in the time trials. The first four to finish qualify for the Grand Final. Event two —10-lap Car Preliminary —also open to the 12 fastest cars and the first four to finish qualify for the grand final. Event three—lo-lap car preliminary —also open to the next 12 fastest cars and the first four to finish qualify for the grand final. Event four— Clap car consolation —the consolation race provides for cars not qualifying in the main event. Event five —10lap limited to 8 valve two port, single port, etc. Event six—one-lap go for a new track record. Event seven, open to the 12 cars made eligible by the three five-mile preliminaries. o Stock Os Four Horses In Derby Is Boosted Louisville, Ky„ May 15 — <U.R>—The derby stock of four thoroughbreds— Windy City, Paraphrase, Port Harlem and Naishapur—was considerably higher today as a result of a blanket finish in yesterday’s trial purse over the mile route at Churchill Downs. Windy City, Fred M. Grabner’s western colt, won the race in the splendid time of 1:42 1-5 over a track three inches deep in slush, but Naishapur, the far western representative, which finished fourth, was less than a neck behind. In between were Hal Price Headley's Paraphrase in second place and Martin Finn's Filly, Port flailem, in third place. These four candidates are almost certain to start in the Kentucky derby Saturday. Baron Long's Ervast, which created a sensation at Tia Juana last winter, finished in seventh place yesterday and it seemed doubtful if the California colt would start Saturday. o Blue Larkspur Leads In Kentucky Derby Betting New York, May 15. —(U.R>—The following odds were quoted here today on the leading Kentucky derby candidates: Blue Larkspir, 3 to 1. Clyde Van Dussen, 5 to 1. Naishapur, 8 to 1. Voltear, 12 to 1. Windy City, 20 to 1. Moinotaur, 30 to 1. If you can’t stand suspense then don’t see and hear “The Bellamy Trial.” 116t3
