After Foreign Drivers For Indianapolis Race Indianapolis. Dec., 19 — T E ■‘Pop" Myers, general manager of the In dianapolis Motor Speedway Company, has pone to Europe to enlist entries of foreign racing drivers who are to I compete in the Thirteenth Internal tonal 500-mile automobile race to be' held here, as usual, next Vlay 30. Myers will meet the drivers of England, France, Italy, Germany and Belgium. It is thought that all of these countries will be represented in the next Indianapolis event. There is more interest in the com-| ing 500-mile race among the Euro-' pean enthusiasts than in many years.! in 1913 Jules Goux called attention 1 of the world to his victory in a* French Peugeot. It was a start. For- 1 eigners in foreign cars took first I money in the Indianapolis race until 1919 when "Howdy" Wilcox, an Am- 1 erican, won in a French Peugeot. j The following year a car builffcn Indianapolis by Louis Chevrolet ;fl>d driven by his brother was a complete! American victory and since that time the foreigners haven’t had a chance. But Europe has done wonders with the 122 cubic inch racing cars, the type to be raced at Indianapolis next year, ami with a new set of younger stars, replacing the veterans familiar to American speed sports, she is again casting hungry eyes on the rich purse at Indianapolis. The deaths of Jimmy Murphy and Joe Boyer are strangely an impetus for foreign pilots to return to Amer-' lean speed courses. All Europe stop- 1 ped to rub its eyes in 1921 when Mur-' Phy and Boyer as a team invaded the l foreign circles, competing in the French Grand Prix. Boyer leaped i into the lead at the start and was 1 out in front when his car broke up and Murphy drove into first place by! out generating the foreign pilots on' their home track. From that mo-j ment on the foreign drivers were reluctant to enter competition with them, believing the pair unbeatable. Myers will return in February with contracts with the foreign drivers and manufacturers who will come across the Atlantic to compete a-1 gainst the Americans.
