PLAN SPEEDWAY AS
STATE PAIR FEATURE
Keystone Association May Hav«
Track Similar to That at
Indianapolis
The %vorld famous speedway at In
dianapolis may have opposition in the
East next year. The Keystone Fair
Association of Harrisburg plans to
have a speedway in connection with
its fair project similar to that at In
dianapolis.
At Indianapolis on Saturday the an
nual fifty-mile race will be held. Thou
sands of automobile enthusiasts will
go to that city for this memorable
event. Referring to the weetern speed
way. P. P. Willis in the Philadelphia
Press says:
"Aside from being a sportsmanship
proposition of international import
ance, the Indianapolis Motor Speed
way is a business enterprise, unique,
and without a precedent in the world.
It is a business venture that a few
years ago caused friends of the four
men responsible for It. to laugh at
them because they had the courage
of conviction to spend thousands of
dollars to convert isolated corn fields
into the world's greatest speed arena.
World's Greatest One-day Show
"The Speedway is the world's great
est one-day show. It is a "manufac
turing" plant that must build and sell
its produce one day out of every 365.
The public pays the price of a jitne.v
to see a $15,000 movie film, where the
expense of having two trains smash
one another is incurred in order to
furnish a thrill and the public thinks
that this is a lot for the money.
But a $15,000 film Is not to be compar
ed with the fabulous cost to produce
nnd manage the eight hours' show at
the Speedway.
"When a theatrical producer brings
out a $50,000 show, Broadway sits up
and takes notice. They think that the
producer is some spender, but he is not
in it when it comes to spending, as
compared to the Speedway. More than
a million dollars invested in the plant
itself; every one of the forty cars
worth at least $5,000; about one hun
dred drivers, relief drivers and
mechanicans, at least worth SIO,OOO
each; more than a quarter of million
dollars in prizes will have been given
away at the end of this, the fifth inter
national 500-mile race, May 29. Add
to this, the cost of the railroad sys
tem; the cost to which factories go to
prepare cars; the cost of tires; the
cost of trophies; the cost of maintain
ing an organization sufficient to man
age this mammoth gasoline circus, and
it is easy to see where the Speedway
makes the adding machine work over
time to coninul" its cost."

Academy track team, has earned a
place in the Hall of Fame. In the re

records. In the one hundred vard
dash his time was 10 and 2-5 seconds.
In the 120-vard hurdles, Holmes scor

Meredith For Captain;
Junior Athlete Popular
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, May 25.—Regardless
of what the showing is of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania track team in th«
coming intercollegiate, the honor of
captaincy of next year's team is almost
certain to fall upon James E. ("Ted")
Meredith, the sensational runner and
holder of the Olympic 880-meters
championship.
Meredith is a junior and appears to
be the logical person for the position.
He is without doubt the most popular
athlete in college, and, aside from this,
carries the admiration of every athlete
in the amateur rajiks.
The speed demon is a graduate of
Mercersburg Academy, having entered
that school from Williamson Trades
School.
A banquet will be held in honor of
the Penn track team Saturday evening
following the intercollegiate races and
the election of captain will take place
at this festival. It is doubtful If any
other track man will oppose Meredith.
