. TO BUILD NEW CAR FOR TWIN CITY RACE The first dash of racing interest was added to the construction work of the Twin City Motor Speedway when Fred Duesenberg, builder of racing cars that have already proven themselves among the fastest in the werld, signed three entry blanks for the opening race on September 4. These "blanks were accompanied by a check for $600, covering the entry tees for theithree cars. Eddie O’Donnell, the famous pilot who has won more positions and prizes than any driver in America, ‘was named as the driver of one of the entries, while Pete Henderson, a for- mer mechanician with the Duesen- berg team, is to drive a second. The third driver is unnamed, but Billy Chandler will probably land the job. These Duesenberg cars won fifth and seventh positions at Indianapolis and seventh at Chicago. At Sioux City and Burlington, they won sec- ond, third and fourth and Eddie O’Donnell took second place at Omaha. For the first Twin City race, Mr. Duesenberg is building a new type sixteen-valve motor, which will ua- doubtedly prove faster than those he has designed in the past. Tests already made show this motor has iu- creased power and speed and the builder will have two of them at least ready for the race in Septem- ber. If the third is not finished, one of the old cars will be used. In a statement made at Minneapolis Sunday Mr. Duesenberg said that his old cars would not do much better than 100 miles an hour for a long distance and that he does not be- lieve this fast enough for the open- ing race at the new track. For this reason he has built these new motors that his drivers may be in a position to compete with the best and fastest of the foreign cars. Concrete paving at the Speedway started last week and is progressing very satisfactorily, with the proba- bility that it will be finished earlier in August than had bgen originally expected. Jim Corbett, one time king of the heavyweight universe, has a new wants-to-be-champion. Jim VOWs he’s a wonder and will be a champion before long. The name of this new menace of Willard’s is Tom Cowler and he hails from Sydney, Australia, where Corbett picked him up while on a vaudeville tour. The Australian stands six feet, two and a half inches and hits the scales about 208 pounds worth. Corbett plans to pit him against the second-rate heavyweights for a while to give him a chance to find out how they do it in the states. Then he’ll put him against several good boys as a sort of polisher and then Willard, Coffey and the whole gang can hop on Tom’s neck when- ever they feel like it. This, of course, is all according to Mr. Cor- bett.
