BOB BURMAN. That "Wild Bob" Burman, the Speed
King, will participate In the third annual' flve-nundred-rulle International Sweepstakes Race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedv.ay, May 30, Is a matter f interest to all followers of automobile racing. Burman has been oloeely identified with this sport for years and his reputation for speed and Murage is second to none. A list of bis brilliant victories would nil a forge volume and he was crowned the Speed King at Indianapolis May 30, 1811. During the automobile show wfeftch was held in New York in Janu-
wy, Burman went from the Pacific , 0 to New York City with tbV mtomei purpose of selecting a mount ' pr the flve-hun4red-mlle race at Indi-1 ftmpolls. He settled on the Keeton $ and son entered into negotiations With tt company. His proposition accepted and Burman immediately went to Detroit to supervise the construct a of the car he elected to drive. B-.i man is confident that he will be among those present when the
prii money is distributed, after the 800-mile race. May 30.
SEAT SALE HEAVY
ORDKR8 HAVE NOW 'BEEN RECEIVED FROM EVERY 8TATE.
Foreign Organizations Anxious to tend BOO-Mlle Race to Support Their Country'e Care.
Although It is over two months before toe third annual 500-mile Inter B&tlcaal Sweepstake race will be staged at the, Indianapolis Motor Speedway. May 3. a large force ot ticket sellers is now busy at the Speedway office In Indianapolis filing mail orders and sending out tickets to those who are securing their reservations in advance. The sale was opened January 13, and from the very
hret day the rush was unu-BuallyJ
heavy, and never, since the SpeewSy races became the big sporting event
of the country four years ago, has the advance sale been as heavy as it Is at present. It is a matter of record that orders have been received from every State in the Union, and in addition to these, there have been numerous orders from Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Panama and various European countries. One of the first orders received came from a party of Englishmen, who expect to make a tour of America this summer and who will begin their trip by a visit to the Indianapolis races. These men are interested in the Sunbeam car, which is considered the fastest of all English cars and which will participate in the race with Albert (luyot, the celebrated French driver at the wheel. English societies in Chicago, Cleveland, New York, Pittsburg and San Francisco have also reserved large blocks of seats, and two of these societies have announced .; their intention of coming to the race headed by military band3. One Canadian organization expects to come in a special
train and will bring a band of Scottish,
pipers, dressed in the kilts of the Highland clans. The Alliance Fran-
caise, one of the most prominent French societies of the country, which
has branches in almost every city
where there is a French colony, has
made inquiries regarding seat reserva
tions, and is 3 anxious to be represented by members from as many chapters as possible. The interest of the Frenchmen has been aroused since it became known that two Peugeots, the well known French cars, would be entered in the contest. This will be the first time that the 500-mile race has been truly international in character, for although foreign cars have taken part in the previous races, they were entered by American owners and were driven by Amerioan drivers. Conditions have changed, however, and this year will see the foreign cars entered by their manufacturers and with men at the wheels who have established reputations for themselves in the native countries. . mail orders and sending out tickets to But despite the heavy advance sale, there is no danger of any
one Jeing disappointed who wishes to e be present at the race. The Speedway ; management is used to taking care of large crowds and the grandstand and parking space is almost unlimited. Should It be found that the demand for seats will exceed the nresent supply, no time will be loit in erecting extra grandstands to take care of the crowd. It is the desire of those in charge of the Speedway to offer first-class accommodations to everyone, and they are prepared to meet any emergency which may arise. When the Speedway was first laid out, the engineers who had charge of the work were instructed to" place the grandstands in such a way that a good view of the track could be secured from every seat. Theee orders were carried out to the letter, nn.d consequently no" race track in ilte world is co well arranged as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. .
