Cordy Milne

While working as a messenger deliver boy for Western Union he saved his money and bought a motorcycle, converting it to a speedway bike.

Jack sold his service station and purchased a pair of Comerford-JAP Speedway racing machines from England.

The Milne brothers came over to England, where speedway was very popular, after receiving help from Clem Mitchell.

She subsequently divorced Milne and began her life as Lili St. Cyr, a world-famous burlesque artist.

[1] Cordy also toured Australia alongside his brother Jack and fellow American Wilbur Lamoreaux on occasions during the mid-late 1930s and early 1940s.

After the war, the brothers helped revive Speedway racing in Southern California, and Milne won his last two American National titles.
