AP Newsfeatuies Sports Editor
NEW YORK Bill Holland has
always been a bug for speed. He
has been in automobile racing for
14 years and to followers of dirt
track racing his victory in the 500
mile Indianapolis Speedway clas
sic came as only a mild surprise.
The 41 -year-old pilot from Read
ing, Pa., worked at various jobs
from fixing beer pqmps to adjust
ing wheels on toller skates and
then became proprietor ot nis own
rinks in Reading and Bridgeport.
Conn.
It was while working for $18
a week as a Philadelphia rink
doorman that a friend told him
he could make from $5 to $15 a
Sunday driving a racing car. In
the 500 he won $51,000. about 35
ni nt which he retained.
"I still recall my first race," says !
Willard Holland. "It was outside
Philadelphia, just a field without a
fence or seats for the spectators. I I
finished third in the consolation
heat." !
Before that he was interested in ;
eneert on skates, both roller and ice. i
and in bikes. As a kid of 13 he won
a Philadelphia schoolboy cham
pionship roller race. In 1931 he was
the first Philadelphian to finish in
a sectional bicycle trial for the
1932 Olympics. He finished ninth.
During six years in Bridgeport
he developed several roller and
ice skating stars. He helped his
son. Willard. Jr.. 17. win the na
tional junior roller speed skating
crown in 1947. The boy also plays
basketball and competes in track
at Ontalaunee High, Leesport. Pa.
To look at the pleasant fea
tures of the black-haired Hol
land one would never believe
this roarinc knight of the road
had been in three serious auto
accidents.
In his second year as a driver he
fractured a hip at Lancaster. Pa.
In a crash at Trenton, N. J., he
fractured a vertebra and crushed
a shoulder. Three years ago he
sustained a concussion during the
Rutland. Vt., fair. The scar re
quired 22 stitches on his forehead
yet is hardly noticeable.
"It happened when a car ahead
of mc kicked up a big rock." says
Bill. "It was so big that the hel
met failed to protect mc. It was
a ragged wound but the doctors
did a wonderful job on it."
Holland has a number of dirt
track races lined up lor this sum
mer and fall. However, the next
race in which he plans to pilot
Lou Moore's $32,000 winning Blue
Crown Special is the 100-niile
championship test at Springfield,
111., on Aug. 20.
"I may quit the dirt tracks
after this year," says Holland.
"That depends on what hap
pens. I may become a representa
tive in the auto parts business.
At any rate I'll be bach In the
508 next Memorial Dav."
Thmich HnilAnrl st a nw In
dianapolis record of 121.327 miles
per hour he feels certain that he
could have gone "one to one and a
half miles an hour faster" but for
engine trouble.
"I stopped as a safety measure.
It seems the carburetor wasn't get
ting enough sas. I think mavb it
was the fuel pump. During the stop

Besides these, Mr. Gaddy added,
after 24 hours of canvassing, Mayor
J. H. Wav Jr.. and aldermen have
given their blessing to the plan.
The originator of the plan and
his 17-year-old assistants are Frank

If this project goes through, the
park would get a baseball field,
tennis, volley ball, and shuffle
board courts, playground equip

"We're hoping to finance it." Mr.
