) OMAHA'S SPEEDWAY { ~and a quarter track. | .~ he says FINISHED MONDAY Promoters of Enterprise Enthusi- astic Over Long List of Speed Kings Coming. TRACK TO BE THE FASTEST By Monday evening the entire surface of the track will be finished at the new Auto Speedway near Carter lake. Work on the grandstands, 1,30 feet long, ‘s now under way, and the big concrete | tunnel for autos, under the track, is also being pushed to completion. | Speed fans who have recently inspected the Speedway are enthusiastic over the yrospects for breaking records, as well 15 for handling the Immense crowds that { will flock to see the world famous driv. ers who are coming for the JW-mile world classic to be staged July 5, a legal holiday, for a $15,000 purse Fastest Speedway | Drivers are going to call it a regular | Joy ride,” says President Bert lLe Bron | of the Speedway assoclation. “World's | records for the distance are going to I\o{‘ smashed, or 1 miss my guess, for it is | the fastest speedway ever built.” | With a beuutiful surface of 2x¢ timbers, | laid on ed thereby eliminating all dust, mud alrt, and the carefully | cuglncered tepiciudis on the big, easy | curves, 1 cedway offers every in- | du At the same tine structed that they ment with perfect safety ‘The curves are 8o con- can be taken without | batting an eye or lessening speed a bit. | The engineers who designed the track say that it will hold a speed of over 100 miles an hour with perfect safety. Two broad straight-aways of almost half a mile each, combined with the lofty grandstands, will give every one of the thousands . of spectators a full view of the snorting speed kings throughout the entire race of 300 miles around the mils | To Be Completed M For the last few days Contractor C. R. Vaughn, the man who superintended the | erection of Hotel Fonteuelle and other gigantic construction work in Omana, | has been working 1% carpenters and al- | | most as many laborers full time on the track surface work. iHe would have fin- ished it Saturday had not the last ship- ment of x4 lumber been delayed, and that it is sure of completion by tomorrow. So big s the course that a casual visitor glancing over it from a point of vantage | hardly realizes that a regiment of men | is laboring there. Yet a trip around the \ track and a careful count of the work- men proves the surprising size of the working force. An investment of $95,000, including prize | money, is represented to date, according | to figures compiled by Treasurer Adolph | Storz. Considerable more money will be | spent in finishing the enterprise and mak- | jug 1t complete in every detail for th: nccommodation of the crowds, so that | when the elimination trials besin Satur- | day, July 8, just three weeks from yes- terday, the whole project will stand its | backers at least $100,000, they assert. | Tunnel Under Track.

Royal II, bay son of Your Majesty- Lady Ethel, proved himself worthy of carrfing off the premier honors that Latonia has to offer. Off well to a per- fect start, Jockey Ganz rated him along under slight restraint until the first three- |quarters of a mile had been traversed, When straightened out on the back stretch Ganz let out a few wraps and [Royal II responded immediately, and gradually closed in on his field. Ganz worked him into third place passing the starting post, and at the mile and a quarter Goose on Tetan, noted that Royal II was on his horse withers, Then came the real battle for suprem- acy. But the gameness of the English coit was not to be denied and the horses passed the final eighth pole nose to nose, with the stout-hearted Dortch only a Little by little Royal II was seen to push forward, and at the final sixteenth pole was in a commanding position, and won by a length from the tiring Tetan, who was the same distance ahead of Dortsch. Day is Falr, The day was fair, the track was fast and the crowd was probably the largest that ever wended its way through the Latonia gates. Royal 11 was favorite in the betting, with Emerson Cochran a second cholce. The latter was never a serlous con- tender after the first halt-mile, and fin- ished last. Tetan was an outsider in the betting and was reported to have been withdrawn earlier in the day, but owner | Perkins decided to start him at the last | moment, and the horse pald $22.30 for a 82 ticket to place and $5.40 for a $2 ticket for show. Dortsch paid $4.80 for a $3 for show Senators Bunch Hits And Bea# Pale Sox ‘WABHINGTON, June 12~Washington bunched three hits and a sacrifice in the third inning today and defeated Chicago, 2t lHeved In the fifth by Ayres, who pitched brillantly and was supported sensation- Boehling was wild and was re- | In the seventh, singles by McCormick and Galloway, a walk to Coffey an a hit batsman, forced In one 1un, a fleld ing out bringing in another.

STABLES NOW ON THE COAST BY G. K. MURRAY, Harness horse racing, the sport in Wwhich America 1a the leader and the rest lof the nations of the world the followers | and imitators, 1s in the midst of a great jrevival in Omaha. After many vears of |neglect of its great opportunities as the center of a blue grass region which is ot second even to the tamed pastures of Kentucky, Omaha this summer will have {two opportunities to greet the trotters and pacers in action The Omaha Driving club will have the honor of restoring this city to the itiner- ary of king horse, America’s most pop- ular entertainer, when the gates open at the new speedway for its meeting, to be neld August 5-6-7, There the trotter and paces and his owners, drivers and thous« ands of friends will find a fine new race ing plant, including a rast and safe track |and modern and up-to-date buildings. | These are a part of the big speedway In East Omaha. The second race mewting of the year will be held by the county fair association at its new grounds. Racing on the Const. One of the greatest features of the San Franclsco exposition is the biggest harn- ess racing meeting over held anywhere in the world, where every day a fortune In purses is hung up for the racers. Thousands of lovers of the horse cannot see these wonderful ruces, but here’'s the greatest news In the sport line thet Omaha has heard In many years. A number of the best steeds which now are nacing in S8an Francisco are coming to Omaha to grace the Omaha Driving club’'s opening meeting and to brine thousands of spectators to the local tragk by the magic drawing of their names and lp-n porformances. Thank Bd Petérson, Omaha booster and owner of one of the nifties little racing stables in this coun- |try, for this opportunity. He's out there | now, watching his favorite nags race th: | heads off the best horses the east and west can produce, To w in Home Town. Althougl terson's horses have ad- vertised Omaha at many race meetings in many cities in the past, he has newer bofore had an opportunity to exhib't them in Omaha. He's going to show them to the home folks next August. . His stable alone will include the pacer, Hal Boy, who only last Wednesday won the 2:11 pace at the exposition, beating fleld of nine other fast pacers; Lee Blos- #om, a crack trotting mare, for whom Peterson, according to last Sunday's 8in Francisco’s Chronicle, was offered $104% by Lon McDonald, famous grand cironit driver, and other good ones. In addition, Peterson is boosting the Omaha meeting and reports excellent prospects that several well known sti- bles will send representatives hmun lutun. ; Trotter Galna Popularity. Tn thess days when ‘‘See Aun:u First,” is coming into its own, it'is peculiarly fitting that the trotter whi.h has attained near perfection in Amer! u and whose development is credited to the United States alone, should find himscif more popular than he has been for maiy yoars. That Omaha has always lovi.) the trotter has been proven many timos by huge crowds who have traveled ma:y miles to see him perform in other eltic«. That the metropolis will greet his adve it at the Speedway with enthusiasm is ol- ready assured, according to reports y. - ceived by the live business men win comprise the directorate of the Omala Driving club. The directors: are: Pre:i- dent, Fd Peterson; secretary-treasurer, O. M. Smith; directors, B. P. Peck, ¥. Buckingham, J. A. Kuhn, J. C. Byme and John D. Creighton.
