Hlli AUTO RACES

OPENSSUNDAY Many Improvements Have Been Mads to Fix Ro'jy Track in Great Style

Next Sunday mark the opening of Hammond' automobile racing seiv. On that day the ipn! derriorvs will be turned lo the old Roby race cciirtw as r.'"'-rted since Jack Lcedk of HLTKOfld leased the famous property Leech ! head of a stock company wkteh will have control of the Roby trs;k for the next five years if eierythir.g goes right. Instead of ru sh 1 ng Into the race game early this yea he preferred Xo put the old speedway into tip tc shape so that the opening event would be an eyeopener for racing fan. Ta big mll oval and grounds have Ibeen enclosed with a high board fec, This will shag the crow round through entrajic turnstile where they can deposit the usual fee- Failure to make racing a success at Roby in recent years has been due to the fact that more than ball of the crowd saw the races) without paying. The new fence changes that. Then Leecl has provided seating capacity for in a new grand stand 125 feat lonx H wrecked the o'd one aad put up a real stand. Along the aid ra of the track proper s wire fuse is being erected to keep tile people off tie track. The posts are close) tege titer and heay planking is placed along the track side a short distance aoore the ground to stop any wheels or tires which mar be thrown 'by the racing cars. The fence is also considered strong (-nough to afford protection from any cars which may get out of control. However, It is the track which appeals to the drivers. On the turns all of the old soft earth which caused so -ranch trouble in the past has ben dug out. This has been replaced 'fcy real clay which when roiled and baked by the sun will r.iake & track unequalled in this part of the country. Seven carloads of clay feaTe been placed on the turns rr.d other parts of the course. The iiral-fht streiches are in wonderful shape. Next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 sharp toe first race starts. Mr. Leech will announce the program later. 'And remember this." says Leech,

"in Roby race will not fee team affairs or frameups. Drivers and fans who have followed my races !n the rast know that it is always a c!e of the best car and driver winning-. The rrowd always come back when the races are on the level." The biggest field of drhvers ever entered !n ft northern Indian race Is expected out Sunday-. Many well known epeed busrs have not entered any races yet this year. They have keen waiting for the Roby opening. As oon as Leech gave the word that Sunday was the day, entrants began signing up for places-.
