Wishart, of Port Chester, New York, the wealthy young sportsman who drives Mercedes racing cars, has entered the 5i)0-mile International Sweepstakes race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next Memorial Day. entry names the same car which the Easterner drove in the last 500-mile race, finishing fourth. The bore of the cylinder is 5.1 inches and the piston stroke is 7.1, giving a piston displacement of 583 cubic inches, which is seventeen cubic inches below the limit of the race. car is almost a duplicate of the Mercedes entered by Ralph DePalma. Both of these cars made a wonderful showing at Savannah in the recent Vanderbilt qnd Grand Prize races; Wishart finishing third in the Vanderbilt, while DePalma finished second in the Vanderbilt and third in the Grand Prize.

At this time last year there had been but four entries made to the first 500-mile race, so the prospects for the second one seem even better than those of 1911. The other entries to i the race consist of two Stutz cars, en- tered by the Ideal Motor Car Company, of Indianapolis; a Fiat, entered by E. E. Hewlett, of Los Angeles, with Joe Matson named to drive; two Case cars, entered by the J. I.

Case Threshing Machine Company, of Racine, Wis. Harvey Herrick and Louis Disbrow have been nominated as the pilots of the two Case entries. There are also two Nationals and a Lexington. The fact that such farikous drivers have been entered early in the year, and that all the cars so far named are among the foremost racing machines in the world, makes it seem certain that the field cf starters next May will have even more class than the bunch that took the word from starter Wagner last year. Owing to the fact that there have been so many early requests for seats and parking ace reservations for the next race, the Speedway manage-j ment opened the seat sale on January 15.

From that time on seats may be obtained for the next Memorial Day event either in person or by mail. Indianapolis hotels have been besieged with reservation requests already and are hooking their rooms for visitors next May. The has arranged to provide 4.000 rooms in private homes in addition to the hotel accommodations, so that a crowd of 150,000 persons may be cared tor One of the interesting features in connection with the next 500-mile race is that the have taken a greater interest than ever before and many requests for particulars have been received from European motor-car makers. The entry list so far for the race shows that eight American cars huvo been entered as against three foreign machines. All of "the foreign cars ue privately owned, mount bc- ing the property of E.

J. Schroeder, of New York; Fiat being owned by E. E. Hewlett, of Los Angeles, and Mercedes own personal property. This laauj the racing enthusiasts in the country to believe that motor car racing is be coming more of a sporting proposition than ever before, and eventually it may become a competition entered only by cars owned privately without affiliation with factories or dealers.

Charley Merz, nominated as driver of one of the National racing cars at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the second annual 500-mile International Sweepstakes race next Memorial Day. Merz is one of the young drivers in the business in years, but old in experience. He has participated in events at the Speedway ever since it was first constructed in 1909 and has been a successful driver. Merz finished eighth in the first 500-mile Sweepstakes race, driving a National car. MOTORISTS ENTHUSIASTIC OVER TENT SHOW AT INDIANAPOLIS OPENING MARCH 23.

BROWN, Owner. Care Grand Hotel. Phone 1162. Rushville, Indiana. Accident Fails to Get Harry Knight's Nerve Harry Knight, who will drive a six- cylinder Lexington racing car in the second annual 500-mile International Sweepgtakes race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next Memorial Day.

Knight was a victim of one of the most thrilling accidents ever seen at the Speedway, when during the last 500-mile race he skidded into the pit walls and demolished his car together with that of Herb Lytle and escaped practically uninjured. Knight ascribed the cause of his accident to the fact that he was trying to turn his car sufficiently to keep from running over a mechanician who had fallen from a car just ahead of him in the race. An effort was made to obtain a Carnegie medal for the young driver. The car which he will drive next Memorial Day is similar in type to the car which he drove lalt year for the Wescott Company. Who wants a snlary of $26,280,000 a year? The figures almost stagger the average person who figures tfiat a salary of $2,500 a year is good, yet the of a little calculation shows that the winner of the second annual 500-mile International Sweepstakes motor race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Memorial Day will be drawing a salary of that rate for the time consumed in the driving contest.

The figures would amount much higher if the side money which will be given along with the $50.000 purse is considered. The winner will receive $20,000 from the Speed way, while the makers of various accessories will contribute about $5,000 additional to his pot of gold and donate liberally to the winners of the other eleven prizes offered, which brings the total to $50,000. On a mileage basis the winner will receive $40 for every mile driven, and the rate of travel maintained in the race will be more than seventy-five miles an hour. This is the richest offer ever made in the history of automobile racing and ill prove a magnet for the greatest pilots in the world. True, the race will be one of the toughest battles ever fought in the cylinder conflict world, for 500 miles is a test supreme of both men and metal, but the gold and glory are greater than the Wardships which will be undergone, and danger is not an element of consideration by the fearless masters of the motor.

The International character of the event is assured, as the French, German and makers are as much interested as the Americans. From the standpoint of the spectator this contest will be one of the most thrilling in the annals of motordom. Seven hours of a speed battle royal is w'hat they will see, and the motoring public to-day demands more from men and machinery than any other class of people. That demand is to he satisfied at the cost of thousands of dollars. And yet perhaps the reader wonders why the Speedway should hang up a purse of $50,000.

The manufacturer does not enter the racing game simply to see his car whirl round and round the track. He enters the game for the benefits that he receives from the publicity attached to the event, to study his car while subjected to the test of high speed and to learn its possibilities. The racing game is an expensive proposition. The drivers do not care to compete in events where sufficient prize money is not offered. Neither does the manufacturer care td race for charity.

Thus the Speedway, by hanging up this great purse, settling the date of the race almost at the opening of the season, and with its specially constructed track, will be able to give the public not only a long race, but it will bring the best cars In America and possibly several from Europe to the track for the five-century grind. Leg Is Amputated. Joe Jagersberger, famous as a racing driver, and named lo pilot a Case car in the second annual 500-mile race at the Motor Speedway May 30, has driven his last race. leg was amputated at Columbia, S. in an effort to save the life of the noted racing driver.

Jagersberger was injured in practice before the Charleston, S. races last fall while driving a car. The car plunged into the fence and the came out with a broken and mashed leg that refused to heal. Jagersberger was teammate of the late Louis Strang in the first 500-mile race and a broken steering knuckle on his car caused the big smashup at the grandstand during the race. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.

One million worth of the best motor cars are being housed under three solid city blocks of canvas in preparation for the Indianapolis Automobile Show, which opens March 23. For the first time in the history of the Hoosier state all of the motor car makers and dealers have joined in one big exposition to display their wares to the public. Under the auspices of the Indianapolis Trade Association the first real will be covered by $11,000 worth of tent and hold open house from March 23 to 30. For several years it has been the custom in Indianapolis to hold the show in the various salesrooms and only the makers represented in the city could show their cars, but there has been a decided change in arrangements this year and every manufacturer has been offered the chance to come in so that the show embraces all of the most popular makes of cars produced in the United States. In addition to the motor car manufacturers there will be hundreds of accessory manufacturers represented, and even the motorcycle dealers will have their machines on display.

It is believed now that enough exhibits will be in place at the opening of the i show to prove that the promoters were correct in their idea that a tent show would prove popular. Worthy Rival of Chicago Show. When the canvas top plan was first (suggested it was ridiculed by many, but the feasibility became so appar- ent that all soon fell in line with the result that the coming exposition is a worthy rival of the Chicago show and other displays which have proved so highly successful in the past. The mammoth tent will extend around three sides of University park in the very heart of Indianapolis, covering the city streets which will be closed to traffic from curb to curb. The streets affected by the automobile are North Meridian, from New York street to Vermont street; Vermont street, from Meridian to Penn' sylvania street, and New York street, from Meridian street to Pennsylvania street.

The task of making the canvas top to shelter the visitors at the automobile show7 was the greatest ever attempted by the American tent makers. The pavements in these three squares have been repaired and leveled so they are as smooth as a building floor, Every effort has been made to thor- oughly cleanse the thoroughfares, so that the pavement is perhaps the cleanest it lias been since its construction. All of the exhibitors are planning to cover the floor space in their various booths with rugs and other floor coverings so that the show will present as inviting an appearance as either that of Chicago or New York. Many exhibitors who never appeared in Indianapolis before have announced their intention of displaying their products at this exposition. Thousands Will Visit Indianapolis.

Thousands of visitors are expected from all parts of the state of Indiana, during the week of March 23 to 30, and, in view of this fact, most of the railroad and lines have pre- Autluio good OIL BEST FOR AUTOS JELIEV Have faith in the signs you see along every road.

1306-1386 York CINCINNATI Branches: Logansport, Columbus, O. pared special rates Tor automobile show visitors. The merchants of Indianapolis are making special inducements and planning special bargain sales in view of the fact that many of the visitors who are dealers in other cities w7ill desire to accomplish twro purposes in coming to the show7, and purchasing their spring stock. Night will be turned into day throughout the week as thousands of incandescent and arc lights will be dotted throughout the tent, making it possible for visitors in the evening to appreciate the exhibit fully as much as those who attend during the day. With this myriad of lights constantly burning it is believed that the big tent will be entirely comfortable and offer fully as inviting a place to visit as if the showr were in a building.

All Details Arranged. Under the direction of Showmaster Jchn Orman, every detail has been carried through and the only adverse condition that the show could possibly meet would be inclement er; however, the weather man has predicted that the majority of days during which the show7 is to be held will be fair and warm. Despite the fact that the tent is immense, the floor space was all taken up soon after the announcement was made that the space was ready for sale. Several outside companies made application too late, and in instances where they w7ere not able to obtain part of the space which had already been procured by some other company, they obliged to forego the opportunity of being represented; this, how7ever, did not occur in many instances, and the hidianapolis Automobile Tent Show7 is destined to bo the most successful the Hoosier Capital has ever knowrn.
