OR CAR

ENTERED AT

SPEEDWAY

INDIANAPOLIS, April 13. Wireless telephones and a Ford car will break into tht hit Icaitui- automobile racing with the 500-mile dash for $100,000 to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Tuesday, May SO, according to announcement by Speedway officials. Tli Ford which will be equipped with a Fronty-Ford motor head and otherwise strengthened, has been entered by the racing Chevrolet brothers-Arthur and Louis and the experiment was successful in dirt track races last year. It will average eighty-nine miles an hour on the local track and will travel 102 miles per hour on the long stretches, according to Chevrolets They want their little car, which is pigmy in size when compared with the other mounts in the race, to have every possible advantage, so the "Fronty-Ford." as the car has been entered, will be equipped with a wireless telephone receiving set and messages will be dispatched from the pits to the car by wireless. Pit messages and signals always play a big part In the race. The driver and his mechanic become lost after a few laps on the big oval; there Is too much noise to hear each other, and the only touch they hare with the world Is through the blackboard and flag messages they receive from their pit as they flash down the home stretch. Jack Cortner, Grenvllle, Ohio has been chosen to drive the FrontyFord with thn wireless attachment. He is already In Indianapolis getting the car ready. This is the first time wireless has ever been used in racing, it is said. There will be a small device on the rear of the car to catch the waves as the car speeds its way around the course. The receiving headgear will be worn by the mechanic, who will in turn deliver mesages to the driver. It Is hoped In this way to have the Fronty-Ford the best informed team on the track. It w-ill be Interesting to see the results. T. E. Myers, manager of the Speedway, said this would be the only Ford car permitted to enter the race. He made this concession because of the known ability of Che-rrolets as racing engineers.
