iris123 20,935 Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) One thing I found a while back are the teams for season 1933 Loyola Milne brothers, Lammy and Burton Albrecht Long Beach Bo Lisman, Earl Farrand, Shorty Campbell,George Lannon San Diego Mark Porter, Kenny Schofield, Miny Waln, Byrd McKinney If that remained constant, then as they say, i'll eat my hat if Loyola didn't win Edited May 28, 2020 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chunky 6,086 Posted May 28, 2020 From the San Pedro News Pilot, September 6, 1933. Please note the apparent duplication of the "scratch finals" (I assume one was the handicap final). "Wilbur (Lammy) Lamoreaux featured the Long Beach Motospeedway motorcycle racing program last night, winning every race he entered but one in which he spilled on the last lap. Lamoreaux took the scratch final from Cordy Milne, Bo Lisman, and Jack Milne, in that order, in 1:11.6. Shorty Campbell won the scratch final from Burton Albrecht and Jack Milne in 1:14.6 after Lamoreaux had spilled. Albrecht beat Ed Hinkle and McKinney nosed out Jack Milne in the match races. The Loyola Lions walked off with first honors, 75-51, in the team match races with the Long Beach Pirates." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have found a programme that lists those teams, and the entire schedule for the evening. That "M. Parker" is Mark Porter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That "M. Parker" is Mark Porter. Not sure. Just a note I made. Just have the date October 1933. And you are right with Mark Porter, my dodgy writing I know in 1934 Emeryville entered as well as the Red Devils and Sam Arena was riding for them. Also have a recollection that one team entered whilst the league was already underway around that time Edited May 28, 2020 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,935 Posted May 28, 2020 Although I also have a preview from 29 September 1933 San Diego Loyola Lions v Long Beach Pirates San Diego team Miny Waln, Mark Porter (C), Byrd McKinney, Rusty Roberts Mark being a San Diego boy was a unanimous choice as captain The Pirates have won 3 in a row v Loyola at home and hope to make it 4 I guess this might be a US style that the home team is listed last ?

chunky 6,086 Posted May 28, 2020 Looks like I have an apology to make. Seems like they DID keep scores in some meetings, although that may just be in Championship meetings. I still don't suppose many Americans were ardent scorekeepers and statisticians like we anoraks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He made reasonable points, and you have posted aggressively in response. We all respect you as a poster who speaks his mind and knows his speedway, but on this thread - in my view - it is you who is in the wrong in the interaction with Chunky. Not on opinions - we all have different ones of those- but in the way you have posted. THANKS . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
