“Terrible Teddy” To Drive Monster Fiat i ’***' / ! col I TEDDY TETZLAFF. ‘‘Terrible Teddy” Tetzlaff, one of the famous racing stars of the Pacific coast, will appear in the second annual 500-mile International Sweepstakas race at the Indianapolis Motoi Speedway next Memorial Day in a monster ninety horse-power Fiat racing car. Tetzlaff was in the last 500mile race but met with an accident about half way through when he was ' well up toward the lead. He will be one of the thirty starters in the next event. ' I FACE BEWAILING MOTOR RACE DRIVERS CAN BE PICKED ALMOST INVARIABLY. Spectators Rarely See Faces Durinj Race But Speedway Offers Best Chance in This Respect During 500-Mile Race. Every form of contest is disappoint- * ing in some detail to the spectators Motor car racing, thrilling though it may be, is no exception. Hundreds of spectators at various automobile races have made the remark, ‘ I wish I could see the driver’s face,” but dis- • appointment greets them every time for the reason that goggles and a lib i eral quantity of greasy dirt cover the flying pilot's face so completely that his features are not discernible. Perhaps the most satisfactory contest in this regard is the annual 500mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Here the drivers race sc close to the spectators that the ex pression of their faces may me caught momentarily, and the absence of dust which is found in the road race makes this condition more possible. No matter what the contour of a race driver’s face may be, if he is a seasoned veteran of the sport his face assumes a similarity of lines and expression that stamp his trade the same as the Bertillion system betrays its victims, the tense facial muscles and squinted eyes mark him every time. Probably one of the best examples of these expressions is found in the picture of Howard Wilcox, one of the stars of the National Racing team Wilcox is entered in the next 500-mile International Sweepstakes at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next Memorial Day. He has grown up in the speed atmosphere and has been one of the most successful drivers during the past two or three years. Wilcox wears the typical ‘‘speed face.” When the goggles are lifted tc show the natural position of the eyes while driving at high speed they are almost closed. The face has a fierce, almost brutal expression and the set expression of the eyes shows clearly how intent a driver is upon his task At terrific speed he must think quickly and act with accurate haste despite thrills, hazards and hardships. Despite the fact that the eyes are almost closed when a car is traveling at high speed, the drivers see clearly and look between the narrow slits with a keenness that seldom falters The other National drivers entered in the 500-mile race are Don Herr and Charley Merz Wilcox is the star of the aggregation, being the holder of the world’s stock mile records of 40.32 seconds. Fifteen entries have been made to the next 500-mile race to date. MERCEDES ENTERS LONG RUN i Ralph DePalma will be seen In action on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway course next Memorial Day when the second annual 500-mile International Sweepstakes Race will be run, the dirt track champion having entered a Mercedes car. The car DePalma will drive is a big ninety-horse-power motor, the same which carried him to second place in the Vanderbilt Cup race and third in the Grand Prize race at Savannhh during last Thanksgiving week. The motor has a 5.1-inch bore and 7.1-inch piston stroke, making a piston displacement of 583 cubic inches, close to the limit allowed for eligibility to the Indianapolis speed classic. i The Mercedes is a privately owner racer, being the property of E. J. Schroeder, of New York, the man who has the largest interest in the Dixie motor boats, which have the international aquatic speed records to date. DePalma turned down several flattering offers to drive American and foreign ears in the Speedway races, but the road king finally decided to pilot the ninety-horse-power Mercedes. This car is one of the swiftest creations ever turned out by the famous German factory.

Stutz Driver Wears Smile While Speeding I .B IIIW® Len Zengel, driver of the Stutz entry number two in the second annual 500mile International Sweepstakes race to be run at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next Memorial Day. Zengel formerly was a member of the National racing team and won the Elgin National Stock Chassis road race in 1911. In 1910 he won the Fairmount Park race in Philadelphia in a Chad- , wick “Big Six.” Billy Knipper will act as relief driver to Zengel in the 500-mile race. — m,-— ilO SPEED® 6BEMEB I i RACING CARS TRAVEL LONG DIS TANCES AT TERRIFIC PACE. Road Race Record Recently Made Indicates That Big 500-Mile Race Will Be Faster Than Before. I I Indianapolis, Ind. —What effect will the average speed made in the automobile road race at Santa Monica have upon the Memorial Day 500-Mile International Sweepstakes race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway? | Motor racing experts have discussed this question extensively since Tetzlaff's Fiat won the Santa iMonica road race of 300 miles and set the new average speed mark at 78.50 miles per hour. The result of these discussions ! seems to be that an even greater speed is expected at the Speedway, the only element against it being that the race is 200 miles longer than the Santa Monica road race, and that a few of the cars have greater piston displacement there than those to be run in Indianapolis. i Tetzlaff, however, will drive the same Fiat in Indianapolis, and will have for a team mate Caleb Bragg, who finished close behind him in an other Italian car of the same make Since this new mark has been set it is thought that seventy-nine miles per hour would not be an unreasonable speed to expect in the 500-mile contest. The time for the last 500-mile race and Santa Monica last year was just about the same, so the basis for the average speed next Memorial Day may well be taken from the last Santa Monica event. The majority of the big drivers in the California contest are entered for the Speedway race, with the excep tion of Pavid Bruce-Brown. It is rumored, however, that he may be seen at the wheel of the third National entry. Barney Oldfield has not been entered in the Speedway race, and it is understood that he would do nc more driving this season after Santa Monica, until, perhaps, in the Vander blit, if it is staged at Milwaukee. The Speedway entry list is twentyseven cars, as against nine which started in the big car race at Santa Monica, and some of the Speedway entries are said to be even faster than the western road race contestants. Ralph Mulford in a Knox, is one of the greatest favorites of the 500-mile dope sheet. He has a giant car that is fast, and hie previous record does much to make him one of the most formidable pilots named in the entire list. There is a dark horse in the Speedway classic, according to those who know, and it develops that it is none other than Bob Burman, the world’s speed king. Burman has built a special car that is right up to the piston displacement limit and is said to develop about 140 horsepower. The speed king has not given out any information about his car except that it has a large motor and is reasonably . fast. Burman has- built the car him self, with the aid of Harry Goetz, who formerly helped build the car which won the last 500-mile race. | RACE TIME IS SHOW TIME. The 500-mile race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway acts as the New York or Chicago automobile show to a large extent, according to George M. Dickson, general manager of the company that builds the National ‘40 f ’ ears “Os course, the main attraction is the five centuries race of the fast motor cars,” says Dickson, “but for as much as ten days before the race, dealers will come to Indianapolis to talk shop. We know this to be true, because of our experience last year, and because of our mail indications this season. i “These hundreds of dealers take this advantage to combine pleasure and business and visit the various automobile factories in this city. Up to date only two Indianapolis made cars are entered in this event, th# National “40” car and the Stutz. Os course, the dealers for these cars will be here with their customers. Then the dealers for the Marion, Marmon, Mais, Premier, Cole, Henderson, Waverly and Pathfinder will take this advantage to visit these factories. I “Thus the 500-mile attraction turns Indianapolis into a big national auto- ! mobile show, not of the ‘dress parade’ i type, but of the practical ‘get down to I brass tacks’ kind."
