MOTOR RACING IN U.S. IS
VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE MILLE MIGLIA
By STEVE SNIDER
New York. Sports car road racing is booming in America but it is a far different sport from events like the tragle "Mille Miglia" which claimed 13 lives in Italy recently.

This is the first in a new series of summer articlos in which I hope to look at many different aspects of the world of sport. It may be that we shall occasionally leave the well trodden highways and find ourselves wandering in the loss frequented byways where even familiar stories will take on a new look and where we may well find beneficial information to provide useful comparison with things in our own Colony.
