0LDFIELD'S CAR,

TO RACE MAY 81
"Golden Egg, to Be Driven In
indianapolis Classic by
Roscoe SarIes of
Los Angeles.

indianapolis, Ind, May 3,-Bar-
ney Oldfield's Golden Egg, the bull
et-shaped racing car in which the
veteran driver won undisputed title
to the worlds dirt track racing
championship in competition with
Ralph DePalma in 1917, has been en-
tered in the Indianapolis 00-mile
Liberty Sweepstakes on Nav 81.
The dean OF racing drivers will not
be at the wheel, however, having
delegated this honor to Roscoe
Sarles, a. youthful Los Angeles pro-
tege of his. who made his FIRST bid
for speed fame last season.
Sarles won Oldfield's confidence
by capturing three >firsts in four
starts in Pacific coast events. driv-
ing clever race throughout In
the fourth race Sarles deliberately
wrecked his machine to keep from
running over "a reckless spectator
who had wandered on the course.
Sarles made his debut in the racing
game as mechanic and relief driver
for Louis Chevrolet, a past master
at transforming novices into expert
drivers. In Oldfield's opinion he-is
the most promising young driver in
the world today, with every chance,
barring accidents. Of developing into
worlds speed king.
After Oldfield made, his deal with
Sarles. he commissioned Sarles and
his mechanic-ch chauffeur. Waldo
Stein, to take the car into Harry
Miller's shops in Los Angeles and
rebuild it.

Lou Traynor, of the Traynor Au-

Now that they have gone into the
Omaha situation extensively, they
are thoroughly convinced that the
field is almost unlimited. Since the

Americas thrift car, the Overland
model co. has just established a
worlds record for a nonstop run
with the gears sealed in high. The
car was driven over the roads
around Oklahoma City. Ok1., for
seven days. In the 168 hours of con-
tinuous running, the car covered
4,370I miles. That exceeds the next
best record which had stood since
1916 by nearly 200 miles.
The remarkable feature of the run
was that in making this distance
equal to trip from New York to
Los Angeles and backrto Oklahoma
without change of gear or engine
stop, the Overland drivers averaged
624.3 miles day. The gasoline used
averaged 2066 miles for each gal

faulty alignment of the fywheel and
