Favor DePalima As Race Winner at Chicago Auto Derby
World speed talk centers on Ralph DePalma and the Packard as favorites for the 250 mile Auto Derby at Chicago speedway. Past records by Aitken, Resta, and Chevrolet are noted, with DePalma’s machine expected to challenge the 250 mile world mark if the Packard endures. The program for next Saturday’s military, motor and athletic fete includes cadet mobilization, field events, and a 250 mile Auto Derby.
