OLD CAR
MAY ENTER RACE
Stutz No. 5, Winner of Many
Speed Events, May Run at
Indianapolis.

Word has just come from California
that r. c. Durant, son of w, C. Du-
rant, president Of one of the largest
automobile corporations In the country,
has purchased the famous No. s Stuta
racer and has contracted with Eddie
Hearne as the pilot, This announce
ment will undoubtedly result in the re-
turn of the worlds champion Stutz to
the Indianapolis Liberty sweepstakes
race May 81.
1t is said by Western racing enthusi-
asts that this famous old car will be
disguised under another name than
Stutz, but it will be the same old No.
5 that made its debut on the Indian
apolis motor speedway in 1915. A little
tinkle of a rumor zones hot on the
heels of the announced purchase of the

priced automobile, but at this time this
rumor has not been confirmed.
Local race officials for the 500 mile

apolis believe that Durant will enter

season.
The indianapolis officials naturally
feel that a purse of $50, 900 will be too
tempting to Eddie and his mount to be
overlooked, especially as Hearne knows
the Indianapolis course about as wen
as any driver in the country With
such a car and with Hearne's sure,
heady driving, this combination Of old
seasoned veterans will undoubtedly
offer stiff competition for those who
hope to take home the big end of the
Indianapolis purse with ease.
1t is said that no one a ever built,
American or foreign, has ever equaled
the record Of Stutz No, 5. The car was
built in 1914 for the 1915 racing season
and made its debut on the indianapolis
Speedway in 1915 when 1t finished In

In 1915 the car won first and second
place in the two races held at Elgin,

nosed the buggy into second place at
Minneapolis the same year. Anderson
was just one second behind another
Stutz driven by Earl Cooper. At
Sheepshead Bay speedway in 1915 An
derson won first place with the car,
establishing a record or 1903 miles per
hour for 800 and $50 miles. This record
has never been equaled.
Another Stutz, driven by Rooney, fin
ished 30 seconds after the winner.
Rooney also averaged 1903 miles per hour
for the same distance. AT Chicago In

Of the accused, but we are going to
