International Character Promised
Why Racing Game Has Come

Proposition.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Nov. %
Who wants a salary of $26,2s0O00 a
gear?
The figures almost stagger the aver
age person who figures that salary OF
$4,000 year is good, yet the use of a
fittle calculation shows that the win
ner of the second annual 500-mile in
ternational sweepstakes motor race
on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Memorial day will be drawing sal
airy of that rate for the time consum
ed in the driving contest.
The figures would amount much
higher if the side money which will
be given along with the $4,000 purse
is considered. The winner will re
ceive $4,000 from the speedway
while the makers of various Sccessor
les will contribute about $1,000 addi
tional to his pot of gold and donate
literally to the winners of the other
eleven prizes offered, which brings
the total to $4,000
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 au-
tomobile racing and will prove mag
net 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

greater than the hardships which will
be undergone, and danger is not an
element of consideration by the fear

ing in the annals of motordom. Seven
hours of speed battle royal is what
they will see, and the motoring pub
lie today demands more from men
and machinery than any other class
of people. That demand is to be sat
isfied at the cost of thousands of
dollars.
And yet perhaps the reader wonders
why the speedway should hang up the
purse of $4,000.
The manufacturer does not entel
the racing game simply to see his cal
whirl round and round the track. He
enters the game for the benefits tina
he receives from the publicity at
tached to the event, to study his ca
while subjected to the test of higl
speed and to learn its possibilities.
The racing game is an expensiv
proposition. The drivers do not car
to compete in events where sufficien
prize money is not offered Neithe
does the manufacturer care to rae
for charity. Thus the Speedway b
hanging up this great purse, settin
the date of the race almost at tn
