INDIANAPOLIS. May 2S.-The two
and-a-half- speedway, over which
the 500-mile $4,000 automobile race
is to be run Decoration Day, was
burned over for the purpose of re-
moving the great quantity of oil that
had leaked onto the track from the
many automobiles during their tuning
up trials.
The thick coating of oil made the
track wet and dangerous for the
drivers, and after many plans for OBJ
Waiting the danger had been consider
ed It was decided to burn the oil off
Early this morning sprinkling
wagons filled with gasolene distrib-
uted the inflammable fluid over one
section of the track at a time, after
which it was set on fire. After the
track had been burned sprinkling
carts with a solution of lye were sent
over the course. 1t is expected this
will result in the removal of all the
