FRENCH PILOT IS Anta BIG PURSE

Brother of Geo. Boillot Bringing Baby Peogeot to Indianapolis 500-Mile Race. TO FLY IN FAST SPAD PLANE Indianapolis, Ind. —Andre Bolllot, brother of the late George Boillot, star of the Peugeot racing team, is coming to America for the 500-mlle Liberty Sweepstakes race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 31, according to advices from Paris. Bolllot has been discharged from the French army in time to get across and will bring his little Peugot ready for the race. Not only does Andre Boillot plan to race on the bricks, but he also expects to bring a Spad plane with him and give an exhibition flight before the race. Boillot has been a member of the French aviation service, the same arm of the French military forces in which his brother lost his life in the second year of the war. America has seen a few “copies” of the “baby” edition of the Peugeot car and in 1914 Arthur Duray with a small Peugeot of 183 cubic inches piston displacement, took second place in the Indianapolis 500-mile event. The car that Andre Boillot will bring with him is between the twohaving a displacement of 152 cubic inches. This is one of five cars that the French factory built in 1914 for a road race in Les Mans, France, in August of that year. When the German invasion came the cars were covered with tarpaulin to wait until the war was over and if Boillot starts at Indianapolis it will be the first race for this car.
