MEN LEASE PORTER TRACK

Racing1 fans of the Calumet region who love ppeed and lots of it will hv their mania gratified this jummtr by a series of sensatinnal motorcycla races which J. E.

Mr. Leech has just closed a contract for the Porter track (or the season. It is a one and orue-elghth mile track, the largest known withjn a radius of miles. All of the tracks now used in this part of the country ace half or three-quarter mile and no races sanctioned by the Motorcycle & Allied Trades Association can be held on them. The rules of'the M. & T. A. require

that tracks be, one mile or larger. Mr. Leech is now having- the famous race course laced in readiness for the first meet which will be Sunday. June The track will be banked heavily for motorcycles on the curves and the bleachers will be erected at once. These will be built so that they can be covered and made into a -grand stand early in the season. Already he has received encouragement from a number of well known racers and it is assured that at least fifteen entries will be filed for the first event. Six are expected from Hammond and some of the fastest factory riders of the country will be on hand. ' The track is eighty feet wide. This will accommodate almost any number of single entries and five or six side

car outfits can start ahtreast. "Speed is the thing we are after." said Mr. Leech today. "I'm fixing the track so that a rider can open his throttle wide and never shut down for curves or anything until the race is finished. It will be a case of the fastest machine winning." The" second race will be the Fourth of July event on Monday. July 5. Special transportation arrangements are being- made for the opening date.
