Signals From Pits Direct Men
Who Pilot Cars on Speedway

Sometimes an ~ sign looms forth
at the top. Under heavy line may
be found g" sign, and at the bot
tom of the board the speed of the car
is painted.
When not busy signaling. the group
OF pitmen pick up powerful field
glasses and adjust them to their eyes.
One man watches the boards indica-
ton, the positions and speed of the
cars. Another watches the stretch for
the coming cars to see if he can dis
Germ any signs of weakening. Still
another keeps his glasses pointed
around the turns. watching the racers
as far as possible.
The head pitman watches his car in
every direction to catch any chance
signal from the mechanism or driver.
At last the head pitmen focuses the
speeding car. The meChanician has

tightening of nuts and a cloud OF
smoke and the car is off again.

MONTREAL, June l. Charges

the captain and three mates and that

one of her life boats.

By HERBERT EilER.

Contrary to public opinion that the
speedway racers get on the track
and then open wide and let come what
may, Il glance at the pit activities Sat
urday would convince one that such is
not the case. For crowded in the con-
crete enclosures along the stretch a
corps OF dopesters and pitmen devote
their time to keeping the drivers and
mechanicians informed as to the prog
ess OF the grind.
Activity in the pits is not all devoted
to changing tires, parceling out oil and
hurting out huge tanks of gasoline,
but the race is many times won by
the INSIDE work of the pitmen.
AS one scans the pits he sees a
group of men in consultation about a
stop watch. A man in the group goes
to the back of the pit and extricates
a blackboard. A moment later a Sc
ries of figures is painted on the sur
face. Waiting until their car driver
comes even with the pit, the man
swings the blackboard high above his
head.
The mechanician turns. Eagerly he
scans the heirOglyphiCs for the hidden
message. A nod of the head and the
signal bOarddrOps from view, and the
big cars swing into the race again.
Figures Guide Driver.
The curious crowd wonders what
the characters on the board mean. 1t
is impossible to catch the meaning of
the figures as they are a part OF the
special signaling code previously ar
ranged by drivers and pitmen. After
the mpchanician has received the hid
den message he informs the driver of
his exact position in the race, his
speed, what cars nave been eliminated
and what car to get.
