AUTO SPEEDERS
Fast Drivers Asked to Put Up
Own Money for the
Next Race.

For the first time in the history of
automobile racing in the East, the
fastest drivers In the world are going
to race for their own money. This Is
the announcement made last night by
the management Of the Sheepshead
Bay Speedway. The race will eb held
on Saturday. August IT, and will be
known as the International Sweep
stakes. 1t will have a valuation of
S25, 5000.
Under the conditions of the race
only the fastest and most daring driv-
ers will be invited 70 compete. 1t Is
planned to invite only those having
cars capable of attaining a speed OF
10 miles an hour. Each driver will
have to put up $4,000 and the Speed
way management will add the balance
TO make the total $4,000.
Heretofore the drivers have always
demanded and obtained large bonuses
as well as prize money. It remains to
be seen how they will take the revo-
lutionary plane. When some of the
drivers were sounded on the PROPOSE
ton they refused to give immediate
assent to the propos ition. A driver
loves the money, and dislikes the idea
of having TO put up his W currency
in order TO compete. But h rich
prize Is expected to lure them into the
Sweepstakes.
II is planned to have the race at five
heats. varying distances. from two TO
fifty miles, the winner to be determ-
ined by the point system of scoring. SO
many points being allowed for each
finishing IN the heat. The entries will
be kept open until August 10. II IS
expected that all the drivers invited to
compete will enter.

I believe the attitude of the Amer

The American officers encourage
sport, particularly baseball, because
