SPEED ON TRACKS
CINDERS V. GRASS DISCUSSED United Press association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, August 21. “It is time the old myth about the slowness of grass tracks was finally exploded,” writes J. E. Lovelock in the “Evening News.” “As one who for 21 yeair was brought up on grass tracks, and who did not see cinders until I arrived in Britain in 1931, I can testify that a first-class grass track is at least as fast, if not faster than cinders. The difficulty is that there is much more variation possible with grass. Bad grass can be worse than most cinders. Moreover, weather affects grass far more.”
