This is especially noticeable when

which he has ever taken part.
Many inquiries are coming into the
Speedway offices from manufacturers
who expect to enter cars in the race
and who are anxious to know Just
what the technical requirements of the
cars should be. The latest Of these
has been received from the Kline Mo-

dent Of this company said that they
were seriously thinking Of entering a

actly what specifications should be adj

rumored in automobile circles that

of late by his friends, who in view of
his wide acquaintance and scientific
attachments, felt that he would be the
best possible man to select.
To simplify the work OF timing this
year 1t has been suggested that all
teams and individual entries be. dis
tinguished by some striking color, such
as red, yellow, blue, green, etc. In
races of the past, it has often been
impossible to distinguish the fast fly
ing cars from one another; with the
result that confusion has resulted at
times.
This year the color scheme which
will be evolved is expected to obviate
all the former trouble. In importance
this measure is second only to the
practice which will be followed this
eason of requiring all cars to stop for
repairs, tires, gas and oil, south of
the. finish wre, after having completed
a full lap. With these innovations, in
combination with the use of improved
timing instruments, it is expected that
the spectators at the 500-mile race
will be much better posted onsthe ex-
act status of the contest at all times
than ever before.

At a meeting of the Adcraft club in
Detroit, Mich, last week, N. A. HaW-
kins, general sales manager of the
Ford Motor Co. gave an interesting
talk on what it means to manufacture
100000 complete motor cars in twelve
months. His story, bristling with fig
ures, was full Of the romance of busi-
ness. Ten years ago the company was
capitalized at $2S, 900 and did an. an
nual business of $4,000 Today it is
the largest motor car factory in the
world: has capitalization of $4,000
600 and sells annually $500, 900, 900
worth Of car in all the world.
"The January sales OF Ford cars"
said Mr.. Hawkins, were nearly So
600, 900 for the month or more than
twice the gross receipts of the Grand
Trunk railway system for the same
month. In the last four months we did
a business o fRnearly 100000. 900 and
two of these four months were not
real good ones" He further stated,
'"The Ford is an organization of young
men, not an executive head has been
added to a. single department of the
business in more than six years, dur
ing which time the output of cars and
annual sales have nearly doubled each
year. We use banks only as deposit
tories to lock up money and earn in
terest and this season in planning pro-
duction of 200, 900 cars, we lever con-
suited a banker.
I'VE are at present employing in our
factories and at our branch houses 49,
O61 men, all day workers, not a piece
worker in the plants, and disbursing
nearly $35, 900 a day for payrolls, every
day being pay day at the Ford fac
tory. There is not a wise in the Ford
factory, no chance to do any bench
work to straighten out defects in n
imperfect parts. They must fit or so
to the scrap heap.

production in a factory like the Ford,

years, here are some of the figures and

800 mile RACE
NOTED DRIVERS

Indianapolis, Ind, March 14.-Frank
p. Fox, oil operator, accessory dealer,
former racing car driver and one of the
best known men on automobile row,
has now entered the racing game from
another angle and the Fox Special, a
car owned and manufactured by Mr..
Fox, will line UP for the start of the
third annual 500-mile international
sweepstakes race at the Indianapolis
motor speedway May so.
Formal entry of the car in the big
race has been made with Howard Will
cox nominated as the driver. The car
will be No. IL. 1t will be equipped
with four cylinders, having a bore of
4 3-4 and a stroke of 5h. The piston
displacement will be 3S9.9 cubic
inches.
Fox has the distinction of being the
man chosen by Detective Burns to
drive the car which carried John j.
Mcnamara away from Indianapolis
when he was arrested in connection
with the dynamite case.
He began his career as a race driv-
er in 1907. In 1908 he won the road
race from Pittsburgh to Butler, Pa.
and during the same year, won the
twenty-five-m mile free-for-alI at Vim
cennes. In 1909 he was entered in the
special tei1-mile track race at Terra
Haute, and although during the race
he tore down $50 feet of fence, he fin
ished first. During 1910, he finished
fourth In the Wheeler-Schebler ZOO
mile race and third in the G. and j.
hfty-mile race at the Indianapolis
motor speedway.
Howard Wilcox, known throughout
he racing fraternity as Handsome
Howdy,' is also al Indianapolis man,
whose broad experience entities him
to a place among veteran drivers. al
though he is only 25 years old.
As an employee of the National Co.,
ne drove racing cars as a part of his
duties in the testing department. and
during 1911 was a big winner in hill
climbing events. He also made the
worlds fastest mile straight-away
record for stock cars, making the mile
In 40.32 seconds.
Wilcox a been entered in many
races on the Pacific coast. and ON
March 80, 1911, he won the fve-mile
championship at Pablo Beach. His
victories at the Indianapolis motor
speedway have been many and he has
been a holder or the Remy Brassard.
Another well known driver has an
nounced his intention OF entering the
car in the ace this year is Johnny
Jenkins, who says that he will make
formal entry of b Schacht car which he
will drive himself. This car is now
being rebuilt according to Jenkins
ideas az the Cincinnati factory Of the
Schacht Co. Tt will be equipped with
wire wheels and will have a cylinder
displacement OF 389.0 cubic inches
The al which Jenkiiss intends to use
is the same one which Harry Endicott
drove to fifth place in the 500-miIe
race last year, and jenkins Is positive
that after 1t is rebuilt in accordance
with his ideas 1t win give an excellent
account of itself. Jenkins is noted as
a scientific driver who has distin !
guished himself many times in track

One by one the members of South

players are arriving in the city. No
less than eight leaguers are either
here or have stopped for few hours
to chat with friends.

Fort Wayne club. Goat" Anderson
is expected to come here today from
Terre Haute.
Out of this numbers, Smith and
NeSpo had the most successful sea
sons. Smith pitched and managed
for the BlacksoX, while NespO has
been one Of the big noises of the Bill

the premier twirler Of the Central this
year and if he does not land the first
place he is sure OF second.
He has but one rival who has a
chance at the honors and that is
Tommy Atkins. the Fort Wayne hurl-
er. For the past few weeks these two
pitchers have been lighting hard TO
win enough games TO put them on
top. 1t has been a close race and
fans are waiting with interest for
the official records from Heilbroner's
office.
NespO has had the Fort Wayne
followers with him ever since he
joined the club. The little fellow has
been displaying the best of baseball
this year. Last year was his first year
in Central league company when he
wore the uniform of the GreensoX.
Now that quite a few of the old
guards are back. arrangements have
been made to have the bunch get to-
gether again in uniform. Sunday
