“Farmer Bill" Gets Car'For Big Race Itu. ”1 | ‘Jr Jk \ I (Z .£ *■*•**-" — i — l "Farmer Bill” Endicott, one of the greatest motor racing drivers the Hoo sler state ever produced, will be seen ; at the wheel of a Schacht car In the i second annual 50-m>le International Sweepstakes race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next Memorial Day. Th ■ Schacht entry was made by the factory at Cincinnati, Ohio, and Endicott was named as driver because I of his previous successes on special!} prepared tracks ami speedways. Al though the Schfebht car is not among the largest entered in the 500-mile ‘ race, Endicott is inclined to believe that he stands one of the best chances I among the field of the fastest cars . ever started in any event. WORLD’SBESTTO START GREAT FIELD OF RACING AUTOS 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 priies for I the winners, the second annual 500 i mile International Sweepstakes race will be started at 10 o'clock the morn ing of Memorial—Day. May 30, with ‘ twenty-seven speedy racing cars as | contenders for the victory. This num ; ber entered the race before the clos 1 ing of the entries at midnight, May 1 Manning the cars are almost all ot . the famous racing pilots in America. j and several who have international reputations for prow ess 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 tor the second race, and the terrific speed and endurance in the gruelling fray were too great for many I to tackle agaifi. With jbotj£ ex j ception all of the cars this time were among the fastest in the first 500-mile I 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 miies 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 1100 to 120 miles per hour bem.i.h their bonnets. This great speed capacity is provided because the requirements of the race may make it necessary to have it at times, and sufficient power must be held in reserve so that the motors will not be strained in maintaining an average of about eighty miles. There is hardly a pilot named for the race who has not a national, and in many cases an international, reputation. 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 Flat entry; Ralph DePalma, whose spectacular driving on mile tracks won him the name ot mile-track champion; 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 Vanderbilt Cup race. The others are just as notable, for ! there is Louis Disbrow, driver of the , 200-horsepower Jay-Eye-See car which i recently set new mile track records , for five, ten and fifteen miles; Howard , i Wilcox, holder es the mile straightaway stock car record; Hughie . I 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 drivers 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. I Despite the fact that between 80,-1 000 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 crowd from outside of Indianapolis will be fully fifty per cent greater than before. More than forty special trains are to be run to Indianapolis from many far away cities, and six motor club tours will be run to the Speed way, one of them coming from Denver.

First the I granite facing has a “sheen” to it. Shines liko silk. is permanant. Second it makes a * harder face, which means that the block is more I impervious to moisture and hence more durable.
