THE BIG PROBLEM. A big problem will present It* •elf to the driver# that get away from the tape Monday. That is whether they shall strive for the lap prise or for the first place prize and the honor of winning the greatest race In the history of the world. It goes without saying that the driver who tries to cop all the lap prizes by keeping his mount ahead of the field has not much chance of finishing in first place, because the probabilities are that speed means more stops at the pita. Borne drivers there are that have absolutely no chance for the lap prise money. The wiser headn among these will no donfot net a steady pace that that should bring them under khe tape around eighty-five mile# an hour average, and it i« reasonably sure that they will get a good slice of the purse.

Speaking of Speed, Joe Dawson is in Town
Joe Dawson, winner of the 600 in 1912, is over from Baltimore strictly as a spectator. When Arthur Chevrolet was hurt last Sunday rumors began to fly that Dawson would be seen at the wheel of a Monroe. But Dawson has retired from the racing game, since he has found that he can not be in business and race also. His desire to retain his connection with the Marmon organisation induced this decision. But in discussing records and piston displacement fans know that Joe has driven once around the clock faster than any one in the world. On August 1 and 2, 1917. Dawson nut a 224-tnch Chalmers around the Sheephead speedway, a distance of 1,998 miles, an average of practically eighty miles an hour. This record still stands. During the entire twen-ty-four hours the motor did not stop once and the time at the pits for gas, oil and water was only thirty-five minutes seven seconds. The run was staged by the contest department of the Chalmers company under the direction of W. F. Sturm, also an Indianapolis product.

ROSCOE SARLES. IN MONROE. In the last analysis of dopesters, the SOP-mile race this year is between France and Indianapolis. France, with its two-well-known Ballot and Peugeot teams, and its less famous, on this side of the Atlantic, but equally game Gregoire duo, will present a field of opponents hard to beat. The hope of breaking the string of French victories falls largely upon the seven Monroe-Frontenac cars built in Indianapolis under the personal direction of Louis Chevrolet and upon the Duesenberg motored machines. And it is well known that from now on the Duesenbergs will be an exclusively Indianapolis product. On the Motiroe-Frontenac team, the dope seems to be that Gaston and Louis Chevrolet and Joe Boyer will be the ’’beat ft” boys who will cut out after the lap prizes, ivhile the remaining four members of the squad, Bennie Hill, Joe Thomas. Roscoe Series and Art Klein will play the safe and sane game and ramble along at a more conservative pace that may not be quite fast enough to win the race but will assure them places among the big ten. So say the dopesters.

Making the Peugeot Peug A Moonlight Motor Mystery. Time—Friday night, Mny 2M, 1920, ■txty hoars before the big 500-mile automobile race. Place—Track of the Indianapolis motor speedway.

Wouldn’t It be a fine thing and a tribute to the hardest worker and the greatest pioneer in the racing game if Papa Louis Chevrolet and his crew should be able to swing a Monroe or a Frontenac across the tape way up near the top^—or even the tc>p?; Louis has done as much to keep the game alive as any one. He brought out the Cornelian, that precursor of small car racing, the Frontenacs, and now has had the courage to develop the Monroe, a car which, to be frafik, the public laughed at two months ago and now today has begun to consider seriously in view of their preparedness and wonderful time. Yesi truly, there could be worse things than to have this a Chevrolet year, ft is a far cry from those old MarfjuetteBuicks of early speedway days! to the little cars that can figuratively almost. be put under the hood of iLouis’s early love.

HOWDY NOW EQUIPPED TO COPE WITH PIT MEN $j|jk.' When a Frenchman gets excited he’s as restless as a can of worms. He also usually forgets any bit of English that he may be able to speak under normal conditions. That’s why Jack Wassner. a frenchman who speaks both English and French fluently and who has been In this country long enough to get used to the American hustle and bustle, has been named to ride with Howdy Wilcox, only Yankee driver on the Peugeot racing team, next Monday. Howdy does not get the rapid fire “parley-voo*’ of Goux, Boillot and their mechanics and If he were to roll into the pits to have a bit of snappy repair work performed on his car during the race it would take half a day to get the crew organized in English. With Wassner on the job the Frenchman can be the interlocutor and be of' valuable assistance to both sides of the controversy.
Gene Henning, the local pocket billiard champion, and Jimmy Lease, of Terre Haute, holder of the state title, played their final block of an 800-ball match game at the (Taypool parlors last night before a large crowd.
