It played “On the Banks of the Wabash” over and over again in an effort to get. the people to whistle it. But the people were too intent on watching the racers to fool with music. Especially was this the case when it came time to watch Christopher Ed (Dutch Pfeffer, an Indianapolis boy, who that day won the state quarter-mile championship. He lowered the previously held record by 1 3-5 seconds. : As Dutch whizzed around the last curve, everybody in the audience whipped out his revolver and blazed away. The fusilade was fierce and worthy of Dutch and the Fourth of July. Them was the days.
