MILLIONAIRE DRIVES IN RACE Millionaire Billy Carlson, one of the drivers on tr.e famous Maxwell Team of auto drivers who was amongst the big prize winners at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway classic will be seen in the big automobile racing classic at the Fair Grounds race track Wednesday afternoon, September 30th with such luminaries of the auto racing firment as Teddy Tetzlaff, Wilber DeAlene the Canadian champion, Captain Kennedy the soldier pilot, Jimmy Callahan driver of the famous Keeton, Rudy Getz, Jack Marston and other daring drivers. Carlson has been taking part in the important road races and speedway classics since the early part of last year being the only new driver to make serious bid for speed fame. Winner of third place in the last Vanderbilt Cup race. Winner of first prize in the 250 mile Point Lima road race in which he easily defeated Earl Cooper the Pacific coast phenom, winner of a fine position in the recent 500 mile race at Indianapolis, Carlson comes to Decatur well known to the speed fans who have. become familiar with his non-de-plume of “Coal-Oil” Billy Carlson because of the fact that his Maxwell space eater uses kerosene instead of gasoline for fuel. Carlson is really a driver who is in' the game for the pure sport of it. The son of Wm. Carlson of San Diego, l one of the wealthiest land owners in' southern California. He took to rac ing out of pure love of the sport, which is the most hazardous occupation he could possibly follow. Billy was owner of one of the largest gar ages and automobile business on the coast and when he took t auto racing it was all off with the Motorbusiness. He sold out his place and immediately invested in a string of racing cars, notably amongst them being the big 110 Benz with which the late David Bruce-Brown who was killed on the Grand Prix course in this two years ago, won the Savannah Grand Prix. It was with this powerful car that Carlson won his first big race, defeating a big field of crack drivers. Soon after this he won second in the Vanderbilt Cup and then had the distinction of being one of the first American cars to finish in the big Indianapolis classic. He was also the first driver to use kerosene in an important race and has upset all past theories as to the relative value of gasolene and kerosene as a fuel for motor cars. The race demonstrated one thing heretofore unknown and ( that is the kerosene as a fuel for mo- | tor cars is more powerful than gasojline and drives a car just double the 'distance per gallon, thus making it as a fuel unit just one-fifth or onesixth the actual cost of the latter.
