BIC FIELD WILL

LIBERTY RACE
Eleven Foreign Cars With
Eight Drivers to Take Part
in International Sweep
stakes 5OO-MiIe Event.

Indianapolis, May H.-Eleven for
eign cars, with eight foreign drivers,
will cart in the International 500
mile Liberty sweepstakes race on
the indianapolis motor speedway,
May 81. This is more than one
fourth Of the entire field Of 43 en-
tries, formidable proportion. and
one that is expected to increase to
one-third with the running of the
time trials that will eliminate 10 of
the contestants prior to the race. 1t
is not thought that any of the Euro
pean speed creations will fall by the
wayside in the time trials, as they
are all easily capable Of doing better
than 10 miles an hour, and will be
handled by stars every one.
Odds Against Foreigners.
Though the foreign field at In
dianapolis this year bulks larger
than in any contest ever held on the
huge brick track, the numerical odds
will still be 2 to against it. What it
lacks in size, however, it more than
makes up in quality, being COM
posed of the fastest space eaters
ever sent across the pond, and the
greatest galaxy of drivers.
The logical favorites among the
foreign aggregation are the Sunbeam
team, composed of Dario Resta ard
Jean Chassagne. This will be the
third time that the Sunbeam combi-
nation has attempted to lift first
honors in an Indianapolis race, and
it is thought that this time it is
primed for business, with the expert
ence of two previous failures to
guard it against mistakes.
