Many ot the present day yourur professionals have risen so rapidly that they 'have tad little actual experience In club making and teaching. Under present plans, clinics will be established in New York, Chicago and probably Atlanta for the east, midwest and south, and In some city In Call fomla for thi far, west.

Sixteen Vslve Flivvers.

One of the outstanding ones Is the Fronty Ford head, product of Arthur Chevrolet, of Indians polls. The rest of the makeup of such special Fords may be parts of Model A's and Model Ts, with a bit of other stock cars thrown In. Model transmissions and Model A rear ends have propelled Fords around the Indianapolis track at speeds far In excess of 100 miles an hour.

Bo much for new cars. Last year Louis Schneider, victor In the 600. offered to sell either of his two Bowes Deal Fusts for $7.500 and that was before the race. too. Yet one of them wma good enough to win the race.

These cars were 'far from new, of course, Schneider' having had them for two or three years, with new parts replacing the old ones whenever necessary. Six months ago a former, racing Cf IvfP Slid sSa rnuM Viiiv rv4Mn. mwmj mm SfiWVtVSUlV new sixteen cyllndcr which I started In the 1831 race, lor $8,000. narts's Car Costly. llary Harts probably would refuse an orrer or even for the front wheel drive which Billy Arnold will pilot in the race this year.

Not that the car Is worth that much, but Harts nd Arnold believe they have a good chance to win. if not the race at feast the Prest Llta silver brick for leading at 300 miles and the Whecler Echebler silver cup for leading at 400 rnUes. Arnold won temporary possession of both of these in 1930 and In 1S31. ginning of them this year for the third time will raise a question of whether possession should not be permanent.

There are any number of good racing cars used for one or more sea isciis that may be bought from $3,500 up. Speaking cf used cars reminds one thst In 19:8 Ralph DcPalma wrote from New and asked me to buy htm a rear drive from Red Ehafer. DePalma finally decided not to buy It at $5,300 cash. Louis Meyer bought the car and won the race it. So far as the mt nf th, ears Is concerned, the cost Is not so low as might be imagined.

In ten busy rounds last night. The fight was all Massey's after the third round, the easterner overworking a short left that kept Herrera backing away. A wicked right sent Herrera to the floor In the first round, but the Chics goan dropped with a long right just before the bell ended the wuira. Massey took the lead from then on. RACING CAR COSTS One of the questions often aaked by followers of automobile racing, particularly of the 600 mlle race.

Is: "What does a raxing car cost?" The answer is: "Almost any price ene cares to pay." Harry Miller, west coast builder, txsed to ask 15,000 for a brand new front drive. Prices are off now, and the price probably a would be nearer $12,000. Miller, no doubt, would be very happy to build plenty of rear wheelers and sell them at $8,500 instead of the $10,000 he reclved four or five years ago. Miller, also builds four cylinder engines and a car built around one of these probably would go over the counter at around $7,000 at the outside. The Dueaenberg.

of Indianapolis, master race car builders of a few years back, but now out of building cars, built so front chives and their rear drives, which won several races, were sold at a rls ure below that ouatod I cn Millers. that factories spend In getting them reaay. nusseu tnowDerger is reputed to have entered a car last year that cost him only $1,600. This Is without the months of his own labor added on. lie Is said to have paid $600 for the engine alone, and there were oth er pans to do Dougni.

Twe or Three la One. Every 500 mile race sees a few spanking new cars and a host of other cars with ages from one to six years on them. New parts have been aoaed at times, but the cars basic ally are not Some of them may even do maae up or parts ox two or tnree other cars. After one buys a new car he has a couple of thousand dollars worth of parts to buy to have extras. A sale of an old car for from $3,500 upward may mean that the buyer will get quite a few spare parts.

With the car and spare parts bought, there still Is tha question of rubber for them. Getting ready for the race ana running in it. means' the use of from five to eight: new ones on race day and the same number of used ones for practice. The cost Is from $19 to $25 for the casing and from $3 to $4.95 for, the tube. And dont be misinformed, no regular rac lng tire Is passed out without the repassing of this amount of money.

Aire lactones must live. SPEEDWAY GOSSIP. Huff and Ills Goldberg. Little Joe Huff, who drove a Gold berg Special 180 laps tn, the 1931 race. Is out again with the sixteen cylinder Goldberg front drive which was not ready in time to start last year.

The engine Is two lines of the race and running in it, means the year. The engine Is two lines of fiiu cubic Inch eights, with a total of 183 cubic Inches. It Is a dark blue and seems to ride well Joe says he thinks It will go fast enough to qualify on the first day without being clear back at tne end or the rows. Bob Jones will ride with Joe, and these two boys will carry the hopes of a great many Indianapolis people for their success. The car Joe will drive Is what was once a Cooper Special.

This makes parts or it at least five years old. Mareeaae Clever Mechanic. When Billy Arnold and his Harts Miller front drive set up housekeeping Jean Marcenac will no doubt be mechanic in charge. He was last year and the year before. There is quite a story to Jean.

He came over from France with the Ballots, back In 1020 or 1921. He picked up American ways quickly, learned to write and speak English quite well and decided America was plenty good enough for him. He stayed. He Is a good business man as well as a good mechanic. Being a good mechanic he got himself good Jobs.

He worked "for Pete De Paolo, George Souders, Frank Lock hart. Ray Keech and Arnold, to name some of them. He has been mechanic on the winning csr for Souders in 1927: Keech In 1929: Arnold In 1930. Jean Is married, makes better money than any other mechanic In the game and saves a good part of It. And about every two or three years he runs over to France to see that old mother of his down in the grape region of Fred Frame's Daesenberg.
