GREAT AUTO
RACE MAY 80

Indianapolis, Ind, May 1O.-Entries
tional Sweepstakes race, which will be
held at the Indianapolis motor speed
! way, May so, continue to come into
the office Of the speedway manage
ment, the latest being hat of a spe-
cially built car equipped with a
knight engine, which has been enter
ed by Robert H. Pennebaker, a wealthy
sportsman and garage owner of Mem
| phis, Tenn According to advices re-
ceived from Memphis the car is one
Of the fastest ever built in the United
States, and the owner is willing and
even anxious to put it in the great bat
tie Of cylinders against the fast Eur
opean and American cars which have
been entered. It's powerful engine is
equipped with cylinders the dimen-
sions of which are 5BX5&, which
gives a displacement of 443.5 cubic
inches. This is somewhat larger than
most of the cars which have been en-
tered to date, but is still within the
limitation of $50 cubic inches, pre-
SCribed for this years race.
Mr.. Pcnnebaker announces that he
will drive the car himself. and with
that end in view has petitioned the
contest board of the American Auto
mobile association for "a drivers IL
censc. He has never had any track
experience, it is said, but he is a vet
cram of the road and is reputed to be
an expert driver, cool headed and
scientific, but in no a lacking in
nerve and daring. Mr.. Penncbaker has
also made the unusual request that
he be allowed to drive without Il
mechanician. is did lIarroun, winner
of the 500 mile rae at indianapolis in

that this request will be granted, since

race participants to u any I'M
necessary risks, and it is deemed eX-
pedicnt that a m~cchanician shall ride
with every driver to keep Il lookout
for other cars.
This is the second car to be entered
in the coming 500 mile race which is
equipped with the Knight motor. The
first, the Mercedcs-Knight, entered
several days ago by f. c.. Patterson Of
Chicago, and which will be driven by

the American car entered by Pennc-
baker, but since they both carry the
same sliding valve engines their per-
fOrmanCeS should offer an interesting
study. 1t is generally conceded that
in no Way can a car be tested as thor

No CLOSED SEASON
FOR CLOSED CARS
DEMAND IS YEAR. ROUND, SAYS
WALTER VLEiT, LOCAL STUDE-
BAKER MANAGER EFFICIENT
SELF-STARTING DEVICES OPEN
NEW FIELD FOR CARS.

Though there will always exist ar
active demand for the touring type Of
automobile body, cars Of the future
will be, to an increasing degree, fit
ted with various types Of enclosed &C
commodations.
This view is put forward by Sales
Manager E. r. Benson of the Stude-
baker corporation which is marketing
on a large scale this year a line OF
coupes, sedans and limousines, mount.
ed on the electrically started anG
lighted S%tudebaker "35" and six
chassis.
Mr.. Benson's opinion is shared by
every keen observer. Closed cars
surely make up a steadily growing
proportion of the motor driven Vehi-
cles in every large American city anC
suburb.
THE car that is thoroughly water
proof n dust-proof," Mr.. Benson de-
clares, has always appealed with
especial force to women motorists
This fact is apparent in the long
vogue of the enclosed types of cleo
tries. Enclosed gasoline cars have,
in the past, usually implied a mar
driver to attend to the ]cranking opera
ton which often had to be performed
in adverse conditions. This feature
initiated against their popularity rs
an all the year Oun vehicle, and
limited the active market to the fall
and winter months.
But the modern enclosed gasoline
car needs no more CrankinG than an
electric. 1t has therefore become an
active rival to the electric in year
round popularity, bringing with it as
it does, all the added advantages Of
greater power, more radius of action.
a fuel supply that can be replenished
at any grocery store, and a mainten-
ance and garage expense so much
lower as to make a large difference in
the footing up at the end Of each
month.
In first cost the enclosed gasoline
car also has the advantage. It's chas-
sis is built in large quantities. AS
the demand for its enclosed body types
increases. manufacturing costs will be
still further reduced. Recent adj
VanCes have developed features Of
ventilation whereby all closed models
can, if desired, be thoroughly opened
to the summer breeze.
1T is impossible to miS-rcad tho
signs of the time. Closed cars arc al
ready season-round sellers. And each
succeeding year is sure to see added
emphasis of this trend"

then drove to Springfield over all but
impossible roads and brought back
food for the homeless. .o
He was finally forced to abandon
his car in the fire zone, out after the
waters receded it was rescued by the
police and the installation of new bat
teries and electrical connections was
sufficient to put the car in running
condition. Mr.. Apple is now touring
from Dayton to st. Louis in the car.
