Feb. 11. Barnr Oldfleld Is on champion who "came back," but h does 'not think Jim Jeffrie can do . th Mm thing. ' : j 1 ' Oldfleld la an Interesting" younr man. -H started th eras for fast driving on circular track tb moat dangarotia form of alleged sport la " tha world and after seven yaara, 70 accident and 7000 hairbreadth' escape. Barney 1 atlll la the gam, having outlasted four crack racing cara and outlived most of hi competitor.'.' ., ,,, '' ; ', . Oat fo w oord. :" ' , , A,.fwweek ro when In New'Tork. Barney closed a' deal for another racing car. This one is. to nave zoo norso- . below tha present record of 6 a second for one mile on a circular track. " . Tare or four yara ago everybody thought that Oldfleld waa knocking at th door-of tha Down-and-Out dub. i Other men were outdriving him on th mil tracks and Barney, waa, finishing In tha. dust Th king wasn't exaotly dead, but It was believed , that bwas breathing his lat . , i " v Bsrnay wouldn't admit It. "I'll- get a car' soma day," he would say. '"When I get a machine that can go a fast aa, X want to drlv It I'll get that record back.' ...'. v. Of course they laughed at htm behind hta back and said - it waa remarkable that a amart fellow Ilk Oldfleld dldn1 realize that he was never broken and ; step aside for, th younger . and better Xpt on Tryliig. ;They, said that Barney ought to hand that . new car, stuff to Sweeney.. They didn't.' Say-this to Barney's face, you understand, tor Barney la a. rough man with a mitt like a. Virginia ham,' but not half so soothing to, the taste. So Barney kept on. trying- and finishing ' second and' third and watching the other fellows . get " tha money.,- He , watched a lot of them, get a ticket' to tie great-garage on the other side. -The men who', began driving, after Barney showed that .lt waa possible , to tool an automobile around a. mile -track. jri. on minui iiai, aid not nuve aar neya lucitt une arter another they . went into th fences or turned over . on tha turns knd their: friends- said- It was a fool gam anyway and not worth tha fearful toll In human Ufa. . .Then .Barney got th new, car. .It waa a fearsome. looking' piece of work but It could show ' Its . ugly back to all the rest of tha track racing cars and Barney took rheart again. -: . MU on : Clroalar Track.' Early In the winter he drove . one mile on a circular track , in the- the " nomenal time ' of 62 aeconds bringing ,the record back home again.' Th coro ner's Jury sat up and took' "h otic of ' this wild performance, deciding at last that , It might ' have been a'- bit ' prema ' tur in setting aside a slab for the . young man..- n Of course, Barney will not quit now. A dosen times he bas been on tha verga ' of !Tetlremnr" from the racing game, . but with . on winner, already la tha atibl and the 200 .horsepower Bens coming up there . Isn't a chanc that ." Barney will retire - until he finds out what this' new, car can do. His luck hai been,; 'pheitomenouS, simply pnenomenous." -fjrvn road and '.track Barney has been taking chances . for seven years. ' He is ojre' of the most reckless young men mai, ever took noia , of a steering .wheel,: and ' whll. M. has killed spectators, smashed: up passen gers and wrecked a doseH cars, Barney f, has escaped with- a few stitches in his . scalp and a few scars on his bpdy. . How ainch I.ongert How much longer will he last? No body knows. Ha may "got it"; as . h . says, 1 the next-time be goes out. I.uck doesn't last forever, and in the auto racing game a bursted tjir or a pinch of dust ; in th eye may writ "finis" at the , end of the driver's record Oldfleld .doesn't risk his neck because h. like to see how close he can shave the Inside rail. ...Nothing Ilk ftat Bar ney is as fond of life as most men of ills affe. ; Perhaps a little more so, be cause h has had a. good tlihe during racing, car because h , knows there isn't another thing- on earth At which , he can mak so much .money. ' .Prob ably he has made mow money out of the auto racing gam than any three men who can be mentioned. , Premier Money 0ttr. " ) Even while other men wer caring : f or v his " championship records, Barney was a premier money: getter. People go-to see1 him because they , know he rhas gone through the 'fence, several times and messed tip several Innocent spectators, and1 a man who has that sort of habits is likely- to " furnish thrills. They go to see Oldfleld for ths same reason t bat they watch the para , chute leap. ' If every man who went up in a hot air balloon cam down all right the. parachute game wouldn't be i worth -80 centa. . , In hi new 200 horsepower car Bar ney "will probably furnish soma ew thrill, and If he lives to wear this car out h will probably get another on of 250 horaepowr and so on. . But If anything happens to Barney thywill place .on 'hla-tombaton a abort nteno which will xplln, mat ters thoroughly: , . , "Barney ; Oldfleld. v H was - going som.' ' . . y . '.'
