A FAIRY TALK | -SLONQ time ago we used to I A I believe in fairy tales and l*l thrill to the Horatio Alger books in which the young heroes surmounted all obstacles and did wondrous deeds almost as soon as it took to read about It. Then there came a time when we grew up and laughed at the fairy godmothers and the young prodigies. One is likely to get too wise. Only Thursday at the Speedway a page out of the Book of Life was unfolded that is without peer in fiction. Few realized what a remarkable achievement was disclosed as anew car, called the Sievers Junior Special, roared around the track. No on# but two young men knew that a certain woman in a black coat in a lower box had more than a passing interest in what was going on out on the track. That first young man who drove the car was T. W. (Tom) Pickard of San Francisco. He will pilot it on May 31 If it qualifies, and there is not much doubt of that. The second very young man who drove so high on the south turn when Red Shafer came whizzing along was A. J. CAI) Sievers of Oakland, Cal. The woman In the hox who watched so Intently and was very angry when some wise birds made disparaging remarlcs about the car, was Pickard’s aunt. Mis. L*. T. Grace of New York and San Francisco. She has backed the young men In their high adventure. And now, although you may not believe It, that very young man, Ai Sievers, who ils only "2, designed that car himself. He made that motor. The young genius had a vision and he put-.lt down on blue prints, ordered the parts, and put them together. He has endeavored to employ the best features of various cars. Including Miller, Duesenberg and lugattl. There is nothing radical aoout the car. It is a beautiful j lece of work, and, apparently, an efficient one. A year of unceasing labor from earty morning until late at night Is represented In Sievers’ car. If ever a man deserves success it is he. The A. A. number painted on the ear Is “67.” How Tickard and Sievers dislike that number! “Everybody has a wise crack to make about It,’’ said one of them. “All of them say, ‘one of the fifty-seven varieties.’ " Sievers was working in San Ftancisco when he met Pickard and told him of his dreams of a racing car if he Just could find someone to back him. That interested Tom, who always had wanted to drive lh a big race. He has done about everything else including airplane stunts and handling a “tank” in the war. Sievers’ plana were so lurid, his earnestness so convincing, his efflriency so assuring and his brilliance so pronounced that Mrs. Grace was won over. There is no half-hcartedness In her attitude. She is proud of that car an she should be. The car is being kept at a garage in the city. Pickard and the boy wonder (that makes the young gentleman angry), were disappointed at not being able to mako carburetor adjustments Thursday, when the rdiiator started leaking. They planned to be out again today. We can no more than wish the triumvirate the best of luck. * • • Eddie of 1450 Oliver Are. , Is helping out around Dave Lewis’ garage again this year. Eddie was right on deck when Lewis arrived and got himself the same Job ho had last year. Dave probably believes Lynn is more or less of a mascot after finishing second in 1925 despite the many difficulties of getting his front-drive car ready for flic race. , ' * • • TOM DE PAOLO Ei 1 "" 1 '" IVERYBODY knows Pete T)c Paolo, but what about Tom? He, perhaps, is the youngest racing enthusiast at the Speedway, Just 2% years old. The great little kid was out Thursday looking things over. The De Paolos live near the Speedway and It Is hard to hold Tom when he hears the bark of the racers. He’s following right along in his father's footsteps. To him every race car is “daddy's.” He is the best-behaved little follow Imaginable—.a blond, who looks very much like his mother. Tom and Red Shafer were strolling around late Thursday, having a fine time, and the youngster wanted to sit on one of the high stools at Tom Beall’s lunch counter Just like the big men. But he doesn't Ilka everything big. He can’t exactly make out why some autos have to be so large. The tiny racers, “Daddy’s cars,” are so much better. Tom pointed to a huge touring model as he sat on his high stool and said, partly in amazement and partly In dlgust: “Oh, see the BIG Car!”

SHAFER IN FAST WORKOUT ‘Red’ Makes 108 Miles an Hour —Foreign Drivers Arrive for Race. Very few cars were out on the track at the Speedway on Thursday, but the fastest lap so far this year was turned by “Rod” Shaffer in Pete De Paolo’s new Miller. Rod roared around the two and one-half miles in 1:23.3, which means an average of slightly more than 10$ miles an hour. Do Paolo ho&l the stop watch. Pete's car, with “Cowboy” riding, has circled the track up to date more times than any other. The car seems to be in the best tune of any at the track. And “Red” sure can "wind it up.” The last- couple of days the pair has been testing out spark plugs. Comer on Track Comer was out in his No. S Miller, but attempted no great speed. Most of the other activity was in the garages. New Miller 91 1^ -Inch motors are being put in some of the old chassis, while others are revamping tho 122-inch to conform to the new regulations. Jules Ellingboo had has Miller out for the first time after 6 p. m. and Bennie Hill was another late driver. Some of tho boys will have to get headlights. Tho Eldrldge mechanics took their first look at the Speedway on Thurs.tay afternoon. There are two English and two French experts in the group, Including Marcel de Becker, who is in charge. He also acts as E. A. D. Eldridge's secretary. Foreigners on Hand E. A. D. Eldrldge and W. Douglas Hawkes, English, drivers, arrived in the city this morning at 6:50 from New York and were to appear at the Speedway for the first time today. Two Eldrldge Specials, a Guyot Special and another Schmidt Special have been shipped and are on the way to the local track. Albert French driver, was to arrive at 11:50 a. m.

Around the A. A. By Eddie Ash Reb Russell of the Indians collected a triple and two singles and walked once at Toledo Thursday. He also scored twice. Bob Veach was the “heavy artillery” of the Hens with a home run, triple and single. His triple came with two mates aboard in the fifth. ILelnic Grnh smacked the “agate” for two doubles. Grover Hartley nailed (he one Hen who tried to steal. Grover did not get one safe at bat, hut he walked In the fat eighth and scored later. Veach greeted Speece with a home run in the eighth, but Byron settled after that and struck out three Hens in two Innings. The Tribe gathered fourteen hits and Toledo eleven. Wyatt batted for Matthews In the eighth and sent .4 long sacrifice fly to Veach, scoring Hartley and sending Ainsmith to third. Burwell got in the fracas as a pinch runner for Henry. Myers made a diving catch of Holke's line drive in the fourth and received a bruised shoulder. It looked like a sure hit, but Myers clung to the ball as he fell. T/iok who’s in seventh place—it’s Minneapolis! Indians and Brewers leaped over the Millers by winning Thursday. Another surprise of Thursday was the 5 to 4 victory scored by the cellar Senators over the leading Colo nels. Figure t hat one out. Hartley, (lie veteran receiver obtained from the Giants by the Indians, resides at Columbus, Ohio, but he Is a former Hoosier from Osgood, Ind. When Speece relieved Wisner, Thursday, is was a Hoosier battery In there, West Iladen and Osgood. It was to be Hill or Henry on the mound for the Indians today according to the morning guess. K.
