SPEEDWAY RACING

ENGAGEMENTS FOR RONNIE MOORE (Special Correspondent N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, October 22. “The New Zealander Ronnie Moore is a young man in a hurry off the speedway track as well as on it,” says the “Evening News.” "The 21-year-old world champion has a winter programme ahead of him which makes even his cinder-shifting track rides look like a leisurely spin through a country lane. “When he returns from Sweden with the rest of the Wimbledon team at the end of this week he will fly to New Zealand, where he has riding engagements in November and December. Then, in the new year he will fly to Australia to lead the New Zealand team in a lightning tour of the chief Australian speedways. “That schedule in itself might be enough for most people, but not for Moore. From Australia he will fly to South Africa, where he has engagements in Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria, Randfontein, Bloemfontein, Port Elizabeth, and Bulawayo. "After that he returns to England for Wimbledon’s opening next Easter.” MOORE SCORES 13 POINTS , IN SWEDEN (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 9.30 p.m.) LONDON, October 23.
