were credited with buying, but the bulk
of the demand was again attributed to -
covering by Wall Street, local and
Southern shorts. ,
Jpiy sold tip to 25.25 and October to
25.15 before the end the first hour, netj

of tile world’s famous auto drivers, will
be a new entrant in the Charlotte races'
on May 11.
This announcement was made today by
Osmond L. Barringer, general manager.
The famous veteran was signed in Los
Angeles a few days ago by Starter Fred
J. Wagner, and the contract has just
been received at the Charlotte Speedway
offices. Durant will bring along the car
that has carried him to victory and glory
in so many gruelling races.
Old-timers will recall that Durant was
famous when Harry Hartz, Peter De-
Paolo, Fred Comer, Benny Hill, Bob
McDonough and others were just breaking
into the game. He is a racing pa! of
Ralph DePalma. Tommy Milton. Earl
Cooper, Frank Eliott, Eddie Henrne and
the late Jimmy Murphy.
Another entry announced by the speed
way officials is Frank Elliott. Those who
saw the speed matinee at the Charlotte
(rack last October will recall that Elliott,
driving a Dusenberg, lost h's exhaust
pipe in the ninetieth lip just as he was
whizzing by the homestretch grandstand.
Shortly thereafter he was-forced out of
the race with engine trouble.
Tommy Milton, who won last October’s
race, and who now holds the world's rec
ord made at Isis Angeles on March 1, is
coming to the Charlotte races determined
to break the track record established by
him in the inaugural race here. In a let
