“Farmer Bili" Cots Car For Big Race

~I - I 1- V J

"Farmer Bili” Endicott, one of the I greatest motor raci::g drivers the Hoosier state ever prod iced, will be seen at the wheel of a Schacht car in the | second annual 50-u>Uo International , Sweepstakes race a; the IndianapoM* Motor Speedway next Memorial Day. The Schacht entry was made by the f:te' -; nt Cir.-i. ’. >i, Ohio, and En-1 dicott was named as driver because of Iris previous succ -sses on specially I prepared tracks and sp<. —Jways. Al ' though the Schacht _ r is not amony the largest entered in the 500-mile | race, Endicott is inclined to believe ' that he stands one of the best chances 1 ameng th-? field of the fastest cars . pver started in any event. WORLOWfOSWI ** V GREAT FIELD OF RACING AUTOS I NAMED FOR 500-MILE RACE. Experts Believe That a Speed of Eighty Miles Per Hour Will Be Maintained. — Indianapolis, Ind—Carrying with it more than $50,000 in cash prizes foi the winners, the second annual 500mile International Sweepstakes race will be started at 10 o’clock the morn lug of Memorial Day, May 30, with twenty-seven speedy racing cars as contenders for the victory. This num ber entered the race before the closing of the entries at midnight, May 1. Manning the cars are almost all of the famous racing pilots in America, and several who have international reputations for prowess at the wheel. Taken throughout, the field of starters in this long grind is the classiest that ever has been brought together in one contest / Last year there were more entries, but only the fastest cars have been entered lor the second race, and the ter rifle speed and endurance in the gruelling fray were too great for many to tackle again. With about one exception all of the cars this time were I among the fastest in the first 500-mile ‘ race, which furnished the most spectacular contest ever witnessed in motoring annals, it is believed that the average speed will be as high as seventy-nine miles per hour. The last race brought out an average of 74.61 miles for the five-century distance. Almost without exception the pilots who are practicing for the big race believe that the new- record will equal that established for 300 miles on the road at Santa Monica. Some have ventured the opinion that eighty miles per hour will be necessary for the winning car. Last year the drivers were correct in their estimate of speed, most of them saying that sev-enty-four or seventy-five miles per hour would be the result. Despite the fact that the eliminating speed was set at seventy-five miles per hour for one full lap of the track, most of the motors which have been specially built for the race carry from ■IOO to 120 miles per hour bene, h • their bonnets. This great speed ca- ; pacity is provided because the requirements of the race may make it necessary to have it at times, and sufficient power must be held in re- | serve so that the motors will not be I strained in maintaining an average of about eighty miles. . There is hardly a pilot ngmed for I the race who has not a national, and I j in many cases an international, repuI tation. The list in part shows “Wild Bob” Burman, the speed king; Teddy Tetzlaff, winner of the Santa Monica race; Caleb Bragg, the millionaire who finished second at Santa Monica, and who will team with Tetzlaff on the Fiat entry; Ralph DePalma, whose I spectacular driving on mile tracks won him the name of mile-track Cham- | pion; Harvey Herrick, winner of the 1911 Santa Monica road race, and, until Tetzlaff won the last race, holder of the world’s road race record, and Ralph Mulford, winner of the 1911 Van- ; derbilt ('up race. The others are just as notable, for ' there is Louis Disbrow, driver of the 200-horsepower Jay-Eye-See car which recently set new mile track records I for five, ten and fifteen miles; Howard W’.lcox, fielder es the mile straightaway stock car record; Hughie Hughes, the English pilot, who won the Savannah Challenge race in 1911, and Len Zengel, who won the 1911 Elgin national stock chassis road race. | Several have not been named, but it is reported that David BruceBrown, winner of the 1911 Grand Prize race, will be named to drive.one ' of the fast American cars in the race. ’ Despite the fact that between 80,- | ODD and 90,000 persons saw the last ; contest, it is said that the crowd this ■ year will be even greater The ad vance sale of seats indicates that the i crowd from outside of Indianapolis | will be fully fifty per cent greater than l before. More than forty special trains ' are to be run to Indianapolis from ■ I many far away cities, and six motor i | club tours will be run to the Speed- j way, one of them coming from Denver. !

This is permanant. Second it makes a 1' harder face, which means that the block is more I impervious to moisture and hence more durable. Third it gives a smoother finish to the product I adding dignity to a much maligned building ma- I terial. We’ve a full line of samples, see ‘ them I at our factory. ACKER CEMENT WORKSI
