| WILL DRIVE STUTZ CAR -W CHARLIE MERZ. Although Charlie Merz nearly lost his life as a boy in short trousers, when he drove a car in a race November 4, 1905, he is still in the game and will drive a Stutz car in the third snnuai five-hundred mile International Sweepstakes race to ba held at tho Indianapolis Motor Speedway May 30. He has driven In races all over the country and the fame of his performances has spread far and wide. He has established several records and holds many valuable trophies. He was a prominent figure driving the first races staged at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and has participated in two flve-hundred-mile events. Merz is scarcely twenty-five years old, but there are few drivers with broader experience than that of the young Stutz pilot

DE PALMA TO STAS ITALIAN PREPARES TO REDEEM HONORS LOST LAST YEAR. Recovers from Injuries Received and WIL Head Team of Three Mercer Cars. Despite the rumor to the contrary which was widely circulated a month or so ago, Ralph De Palma, the young Itaiian-Amerioon automobile race driver, who all but won the 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway last year, has not lost his nerve, and will again be seen behind the , wheel of a racing car during the third annual 500-mile International Sweepstakes Race, which will be staged at the Indianapolis Speedway, May 30. The story to the effect that DePalma, following his accident at Milwaukee last autumn, would forsake racing for . business, emanated from Texas, and I when traced to its source it was learned that a young man representing himself as De Palma, had given this Information to the newspapers. It went over the country like wild fire, for there is no more popular driver in America than De Palma, and caused no little consternation in . racing circles. At the time this rumor originated in ; Texas, De Palma was in New York, where he was making active preparations for entering the Indianapolis 500-mile race. He denied the rumor immediately, and then to refute it more completely he journeyed to Indianapolis where he met the officials of the Siieedway and engaged garage space for himself and his team-mates, i De Palma will drive a Mercer car in the big race, and will head a threecar team entered by the Mercer Company. His team-mates will be Spencer Wishart and Caleb Bragg, drivers who have established reputations which are but little short of that of De Palma. De Palma expects that the cars which this team will use in the race will be out of the factory and thoroughly tested before the latter part of April. They will then be brought to Indianapolis, and De Palma and his team mates will put in the month prior to the race in training and getting acquainted with the track. It will be remembered that last year, De Palma, in his Medcedes, led the race up until the last lap, when owing to an accident to his engine he was compelled to give up the struggle. This year he is determined that i he will redeem himself and is thereI tore looking forward to the race with , unusual anxiety. During the Grand Prize race at Milwaukee last fall he was the victim of another accident which broke several of his ribs and made his chances for further racing look rather dim for awhile, but De Palma has a constitution of iron and a life of clean living has well pre- ] pared him to meet such emergencies as these. His broken bones knit rapidly, and today he is looking even better than he did before. He is somewhat over weight, but his preliminary training will bring him down to racing form in short order.

A total of $50,000 in cash has been hung up. and the man who is fortunate enough to send his car over the tape for first place at the finish of this long contest will be ■ made $20,000 richer by so doing.
