thundered over the bricks In recent years and many times smaller than the machines that thrilled thousands In the early history of the great Hoosier classic. All arrangements for handling the gigantic throng of humanity that will eurge through the turnstiles Monday ' have been completed. Every measure of precaution will be provided with an armed military force composed of former service men. There are drivers from France, Italy, England and the I'nlted States. Fifteen Yankee made machines will defend the attack of nine foreign made cars. The Ballots, Peugeots and Gregoires are the strongest contenders from across the sea while the creations of Louis Chevrolet, great designer-driver, and -Fred Duesenberg are expected to uphold America's motor making name. drivers who had not qualided up iioon today were Howdy Wilcox, Peugeot; Jules Goux. Peugeot; Andre Boillot. Peugeot: Rene Thomas. Ballot: Ralph Mulford, Mulford Special; JotThomas, Monroe: Jimmy Murphy, Pueaenberg; Tom Rooney. Revere: Jack Beales Gregoire, and Jean Porporato, Gregoire. The famous Duesenberg sixteen-cylin-der car, with which Tommy Milton ■mashed all speed records recently at Daytona, was to be driven> In exhibition lap’s this afternoon by tho speed king. No attempt was to be made to make any record-breaking time, it is announced, but that some mighty fast laps would be shown. The Duesenberg speed car was built for straightaway speed tests. While nothing like that was promised, the railbirds and the other drivers who know Milton, believed there was a strong possibility of anew record for the lap established at the speedway. Indianapolis people are watching the performance of the Duesenberg cars with a dual interest. Not only are they known to be a great performer In the racing business, but the fact that the Duesenberg factory is to be an Indianapolis Institution, and Is now already In process of development here, makes Indianapolis eitixens interested. Four of the greatest drivers in the game wiil send the Puesenbergs around the track Monday. Those four are Eddie Hearne, one of the wisest and foxiest of the veteran campaigners; Eddie O'liounell. another one of years experience; Tommy Murphy, a precocious youth who is expected to make a spectacular drive, and Tommy Milton, holder of the title of Speed King. In addition to these the Revere car, to be driven by Tom Rooney; the Meteor to be in the hands of Willie Haupb, and the Mulford Special, to be driven by Ralph Multord, are possible winners of hie prizes. Ea-h of these Is equipped with a Duesenberg "Elght-ln-a-Row" motor. Eddie O’Donnell, Duesenberg; Tommy Milton. Duesenberg: John Boling, Richards Special and Willie Haupt, Meteor rVid the qualifying test yesterday and came through with Hying colors, advancing the starting list at this date to fourteen drivers. The world's speed king. Tommy Milton, registered the best time of the four, getring around for an average of ®f>.2o miles per hour. Tommy was out yesterday for the first time and had been on the track for only a few minutes when he pulled up in front of the timers and asked them to catch his time. Boling had somp engine trouble, but Stayed with the ship and got under the wire for an SI.SS average. Immediateij after qualifying he drove to the garage and proceeded to give hts car a complete overhauling. Eddie O’Donnell averaged 88.20 for the four laps and Willie Haupt went across In 85.48 style. Once more a large number of rallblrds lined the retaining walls for a glimpse of the mach talked of Peugeot eombina tion and once more they were sent home n to bed without that glimpse, Jules and Andre have surprised the crowd for the last ten days with their absence and now they can hand 'em the biggest surprise of all by their presence. Joe Dawson, winner of the 1012 classic, was the honored guest around the garages yesterday. Joe is a popular young fellow and all the drivers invited him to look ever their boats. He had the same words •f praise for each of them but pressed

Rene Thomas took the track yesterday for the first time since his emashup with Art Chevrolet Sunday. Hitting the turns with a boot full of lead is the best little thing Rene does. In the meantime DePalma sits around and takes life easy while his mechanics tear the bark otf their fingers and rebuild his motor. John Bolling is a young pilot, just a kid, with all the pep that goes with that stage of life. The judges figured they would have a hard time recognizing who v.-as who among tlip Frontenac-Monroe team. They told Louie Chevrolet their troubles. Louie had his cars painted up and now the boys call them the “rainbow troup.” Tom Rooney’s Revere fulfills the speed merchant’s dream to the letter and the world knows that Tom will make it do its best Monday.

OLDFIELD SEES GREAT CHANCE FOR DEPALMA Believes Ralph Sure to Win if His Car Holds Up—But There Are ‘lfs.’ SPEED NOT ONLY THING By BARNEY OLDFIELD, Veteran Race Driver. If mere speed could win the International Motor Sweepstakes, to be raced here Monday, no guessing would be needed to pick the victor. The honors and the rich prize money would surely go to Ralph DePalma and his eightcylinder French Ballot. But the race is for 500 miles and endurance Is a mighty element; luck 'a another; tires are a third. 1 So large a part do these other elements play in deciding the winner that, though DePalma seems to have more than two miles an hour in speed on the swiftest of tho others, he can not be conceded anything but an even chance when considered as a choice against the big and capable field. FASTEST CAR SELDOM IVINS. Furthermore, the fastest car has never —except in the case of Goux in 191.° won the event. Also it is memorable that the race has never since 1911 been won by anthlng but a four-cylinder car. For more than two weeks 1 have watched the cars in their practice work, t have talked to the drivers about tbeir plans for the race. I know that DePalma has the whole field to battle, aud I do not expect to see him get much help from his teammates on the Btllot team. Everybody is planning on seme means of beating Ralph, for they all know that lie is the tnau they have to beat to win. DePalma himself knows the situation, but it doesn’t seem to worry him a bit.. Ue puts his midget “eight’’ away after each trial spin with a confident smile which none of the performances of his rivals can erase. OTHER CARS ARE IN RUNNING. The other cars are getting better every day us the time nears for tho terrific test. Had several of them been able t*> use the same amount of time and pains for preparation they would be closer to DePalma In speed than they are today. I can plainly see that Chevrolet’s Monroes and Fmutenu'S tire going to be right up there. The Duesenbergs will be mighty dangerous and there will be at least seven cars in the rai e with eightcylinder engines manufactured by the famous brothers. I have still to see anything which causes me to fear the foreign drivers this year. Should the Peugeots or Gregorys play an important part in the battle, it would be almost a mlra* D. Both will do well to bring tbeir cars to the starting lino. Experimental features have proven the bugaboo of both. Today, as I write, it’s DePalma against the field. AMATEURS The* Rupp Independent* and lelmotits will 'Mash on Garfield ill.vr. id No. 3 tmorrow afternoon In what should be one of the best games of the season. The Rupp* have played only one game this year, but their lineup includes some of the best talent in the city, and they are confident of a victory over the west side boys. Another hot scrap will he staged at Garfield when the American Express nine ■nd Booth Side Turner* get together on diamond No. 1. Tho Chrlstamores will meet the Saxons at Riverside and the Spades will tackle the Rectors at Brookstde In the only Municipal league games scheduled tomorrow. HI Jake* and Indianapolis Stars will settle a little argument at Spades park. All Woodsldo Independents are requested to meet at 2532 English avenue tonight. The Woods Mes play at Jnlietta tomorrow. One of the fastest amateur teams in the city has a park permit for tomorrow and no game booked. Teams dealring competition should get in touch with George Crosby, 904 North Rural street. Griswold and Mitchell are reanested to report at Brookside diamond No. I tomorrow afternoon for action with the Indianapolis Red Sox against the Clover Leafs. New Northwestern Coach CHICAGO.
