VT.MJn,U Intnvati Will IF ecus on' Cummins Diesel Fuel Oil Burning Car Will Arrive at Speedway Wednesday First of Kind to Run 100 Miles an Hour Engineers of World Interested in Develop ment of Motor. Br WUIU F. MrI The Cummins Diesel, with Dave IZ vans as driver and Thane Hcraser as rtdinff mechanic and relief criv: will arrive at the Indianapolis Imotor speedway" about Wednesday. There will be world wide Interest in this car. Th rramni ir ohvioux.

The Cummins Diesel will be the first "any.kind of race. It the first Diesel ever, to do wiiIac aft hAllf a VIA sithsf Diesel in tha world ever has made a speed record of any sort. used seriously la a passenger car and to compete successfully la speed and acceleration with a gasoline driven car. It did this about sixteen months men when It was mounted In a stand ard sedan chassis and driven to the Kew York automobile show at a speed up to sixty miles an hour. A year ago it startled the world by raveling; over a measured mile under the auspices of the American Auto mobile Association for a first time the world Diesel speed record of eighty miles an hour, and later set a record oMOO.753 miles an hour.

"(not crude oil. as has been so often saio, because cruae ou is uenrj a and dirty), at a cost of considerably than half cf the gasoline price. Hoosier Fredoct. Of particular interest to Indiana" is ths fact that the Cummins Diesel is an Indiana product. It Is built at led, forty miles south of Indianapolis, having been in produe 1 ttoo for marine and stationary use or ten or twelve cvimciij i Diesel engine ass considered only a big lumbering engine, fit only for use in water works and kindred plants.

Cummins, with a great interest in en cines. went to Columbus, Ind, from i MiMrrtn Mftn far fVimnan ten rr twelve years ago and interested W. plan for Improving the then cumbersome DieseL Cummins supplied the mechanical brains and VW O. sup ssh. Today the plant employes 12 men and sells its product all over the world, with patents in twenty three different countries.

cummins nas frradually developed the Diesel from sn engine tbstwss going at highspeed when it revolved 600 times a minute to one thst will not consider itself overworked when it turns up 2,000 rnd upward. f)e Not Expect to Win. Cummins and Irwin are not popping into the Indianapolis speedway rsce ith a csr with which vthey fondly hepe to wins They are under no iUu inns as to thst. "We are putting our car in the race in its process of de mfn ftM. Tt 1 nnt ftt enotlch to successfully with the racing rsrs.

But if we run tnrougn tne race a fair spewJ, we will have accom something that wUl be worth i. more to us and to the engineering world than if we took a high speed rsclng csr and won 130.000 with it. I won msae a aciiruie preaicuon a to the aversge we hope Evans will be to maintain. I do feel, however, thst any failure we might have will fnot be "due to our engine. have demonstrated "previously that our engine will runs weeks at a ''tune with no attention.

We are sub ject. oi course, vo ine same cnassis breaks, structural failures, as any aether racing car. We art using the car with which I set a record of 100.753 miles an hour on the sands of Dsytona Beach in February. The rngine in it is our regular production four cylinder type, with a inch bore and a six inch stroke. Wa have cut down the engine weight some over our ttocfc production, but we have not changed a single mechanical feature.

Same Kind ef Car. every way it will be the same which we drove in Florida and alterrsrd drove all over the country so thst our distributors might see it." The Cummins engine is takine ad vantage ot about all of the 380 cubic inches permitted in the speedway rules. The engine, which is the heaviest part of the car. will bring the weight up to around J.50Q pounds. Cummins does not worry about this, as, since coming from Florida, he has increased the horse? power output, so that acre it to be Uken down to the beach again, he feels that it would go at least 110 miles an hour.

If this true, it means that Dave Evans rouia tx Bcue to act we car arouna the speedway for an average of at Ifast ninety miles an hour, possibly riinety Hve, at least in his trials. It all depends on well the car "handles. The engine operates Just as any frasoline engine does, in that tt takes lour cydes movement! of the piston to a power stroke. The car uses a radiator and all the other standard rracuoe ci we gascume motor. cif fers from the gasoline engine, how ver, tn that it has no spark plugs nd no carbureter.

Instead of draw ing vspori2ed aasoline through its valves into the combustion chamber, as the gasoline engine does. It draws in pure air. The fuel oil is preheated nd at the proper time It is forced into the combustion chamber in the form taper and as the piston comes up its compression stroke it coxn rrewfs the sir to such an extent that it brccmes so hot that it Ignites the gaseous fuel. That is a simple ex 2 piansuon for the engine operation. Special Coles Made.

The car will have a large enough Ml tank so that It should not have to stop for fuel. The consumption has not been firared out definiterv. but the car should averara between iwiern ana twenty mues to the gallon. The engineers of the country have 4 been so interested in the development cf the Diesel that the speedway made fome special rules for ltparUeipaUon JR we race it was decreed that It snouid not have to make the ninety nuies an hour elimination speed re quired of other cars, but that it could not only qualify at a lower speed. but could arbitrarily enter the race if 1 it made the qualification speed set for it by the technical committee of the race in conjunction with the of licials of the speedway.

This speed been set at elehtv mllea an hour. To make even this speed the Diesel 7 must have a straightaway speed of ninety to ninety five miles an hour, and If It should reach ninety miles an nour ia quauiicauon it wui have a atraightaway speed of at least 1C0 miles an hour. 1. There Is no reason at all why the juiesei engine snouia not be a pros pecUve power plant for passenger cars AUTO RACING INTEREST CENTERS IN DEISEL EN CINEED within a few It already is bete? used la Europe in trucks and buses Md this use is beginning to reach this country. The Cummins EnzlneCompary has been experiment ing for almost two years with two or three passenger cars and.

should the car make a satisfactory showing in the coming race, there is little reason to doubt that 'the demonstration wis be sufficient to cause engineers to pon der. As a matter of truth, the Cummins Engine Company has had a hundred oXiers to buy or consolidate since January of 1930. when Cummins drove the first passenger car from In dianapolis to New York city on sua worth of fuel.

Tony Oulotta is a ease in point, Tony is terribly busy on his Bowes Seal Fast Special up to his ears in grease and other things.

Milton Jones knew that Tony had driven one of the Maw Specials in last year's race. This year they are Jones Miller Specials. The Jones Millers were not performing aa satisfactorily as Jones thought they should. So be asked Tony whether some time when he had time he would not take one of them out and wham it around the track for a few laps and perhapa see where it could be improved. The trouble was in the handling of the car.

Tony immediately cleaned up. went over to the Jones garage and took the car out. Just what he discovered Is not known, but when busy race driver takes time to drive rival ear for several laps to help out its owner it certainly would be called sportsmanship in any circles. i i Friday's AetiviUea.

The Morton fe Brett Special, an eight in line, was out Friday after noon, testing jockeys, wnicn mereiy means the car was being usea to try out drivers. 4hbssm Is George Hunt, of the engineering de partment of the Studebaker factory, is at the track, getting the differen tial of the Hunt special ready wane the rest of the car being made ready downtown.

He says the real reason be comes to tne speedway is to get some of Tom Beau's good steaks. i 1 Some of the drivers Were at the Derby, and those that were not seemed to have the hockworm or something. since there were fewer on the track than usual. Ernie Triolett was high man. his Buckeye Duesie getting around at 109 miles an hour.

BOXING CAR HIGHLAND'S NEW One day summer before last, almost any Sunday that summer, while some of the Highland members were waiting at the tee to do a round of golf, some one decided that Hlghlsnrt could use an additional nine hole course. So Highland went to work and bunt the new nine hole course, ail artist's conception of which is shown here, having been swiped from Highland's yearbook which reached this department Thursday afternoon.

The committee in charge of this nine hole course included Ralph young, chairman; Oeorge Klein and Win DiddeL The course was played on just a little last fall and Is now in great shape after a year's growth. It Is so designed that the player who plays the course correctly wOl have fcund use at least once for every shot in the bag. BOBBY JONES INSULTED BY CADDY ON THE COAST. HOLLYWOOD. May 1.

"What you want to use a brassie for? Sara sen could get home with a spoon It was Jim Oviatt's cadddie speaking to believe It or not to Bobby Jones! "ThaJ shot wasn't so hot." pursued the caddie, Bobby having missed the seventh green at Flint ridge by a few yards. "No wonder you quit golf if you saw yourself sUpptag that badt" The gallerythere were about 200 people following them was aghast. You could have fried an egg on the neck of the world's champion, Robert Tyre Jones, of Atlanta. A pot of coffee would have sizzled on his I You must're quit cause you saw Sarasen was coming too fast. Again the caddie's sarcasm stung the Jones' hide like the business end of si wasp.

3 The gallery could not believe its ears. Such gall in a caddie had 9 never been heard of before. The wife of a prominent Flintridge official, horrified, left the gallery and went to her official husband to have hint yank the caddie and save the name of "Dear Old Flintridge What wUl Mr. Jones think of our dub?" she asked. "He is disgracing us.

Mister Jones was thinking at that time but saying nothing. The match was Jones and Ovist 1 against Leo Diegel and Nat Dever ich, Oviatt and Deverich are weU known amateurs, members of the growing organization of Divot Dig The obnoxious caddie was' pack ing for Oviatt. Therefore, Jones couldnt very well fire him. Oviatt was out in the rough. The caddie was in the middle of the fairway, walking beside Jones, i Tfeyr yelled Oviatt.

nvhy dont, bring my clubs over here? Why dont you stay on the the caddie yelled back. He picked up a club out of Oviatt's bag and threw it at him, contlnu iing to walk along with Jones. The gallery was dumbfounded by now. The great Jones hooked one slightly. "Why dont 1 you quit pressing? asked the caddie.

On the sixteenth the caddie kept up a barrage of chatter while all tour prepared to drive, i Diegel "ONE DAY AT THE This seems to be the season for contests and it has been suggested to this department by a very fresh guy that we have a contest fans and off er a prize for the man who can Identify the pictures that appear In this column. The eon test wa not, of course, be open to any man who actually appears in the picture, although bur suggesting gentleman said he. thought that would prove to be quite a teat.

"If you had steel shafts a guy wouldn't break era," exploded the caddie when he had scrambled back to the tee.

On the home green Jones was preparing to putt. Up walked the caddie with a ball. Just as Jones took his stacee. be asked: "Before you get avay, vUl you pleese audo graph this bail for me. Mister Jones?" Bobby stopped and snatched the ban.

"Have you aj pencU?" he asked. r. No. Have you?" Diegel stuff fed a handkerchief into his mouth to keep from spit ting. Jim Oviatt tittered.

Nat Deverich bellowed. Blushing deep ly, Bobby Jones turned and faced bis playfellows. Then' he "tumbled" to the fact that he had been "getting the "works." The caddie was Vince Barnett. It was Barnett who once "ribbed" Calvin Coolldge Into an argument over the value of shoes made in Masachusetta and Csechoslovakia. It was Barnett who once was hired to "get Tommy Armour's goat" and got it.

It was Barnett who at a dinner party honoring Carl Laemmle told the guests that Mr. Laemmle's relatives were a burden and all of them were there. Barnett it has of ten been who, poafhg aa a waiter at some important gathering, has served your coffee with his thumb In tU It Is privately Widerstood that It was 'Diegel who turned Barnett loose on Jones. And Jones endeared himself to the small gallery, to his fellow players and to aU who have heard about it since, and laughed about it, by the marvelous repression he exhibited, through the match. It hurt his game and got him boiling inwardly, but outwardly he never uttered a peep.

And when he learned that the Joke waa on him, he took it like sport.

Another member of the foursome caused him to stop and shiver a bit when another long putt rimmed the cup. Joe McDuffee was out for a round after a long session with the physicians and surgeons of the community. It was Joe's second game in six weeks. Bob Bowen was playing the same foursome and proved that he is in midseason form by making a beautiful explosion shot from a trap to the right of the tenth green and then, missed the putt. 1 awpaii iii is i i fl iiTr m'ltH tn ti iS tt i il in' ir en Qi fSTa Ralph Erin won the Optimist Club tournament with a 52.
