ENGLAND HAS
SPEEDWAY
CANDIDATE

INDIANAPOLIS. May 2o.-Eng-
lands candidate for the internation-
al speedway honors has arrived in
Indianapolis, with his Bentley rae
ing car and crew. The hopes Of the
British fans for winning the tenth
annual 500 mile International
sweepstake race of the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway. Tuesday, May 80,
are pinned to w. Douglas Hawkes.,
Of London.
Mr.. Hawkes. in ordinary everyday
life is engineer of the Bentley Com
pany bat decided to take a vacation
from his drafting board and essay
an attempt to take home a draft
calling for $4,000 or more in Brit
ish pounds. He came over on the
Cedric. accompanied by his mechan-
les Herbert s. Browning and Leon
ard Ford. both from the London fac
tory. Browning is an expert on
radial engines and was an aviator
during the period of the war. He
spent most of the war period in
structing pilots. Ford was not old
enough to Join up" until early in
1918 and just missed getting his
wings as an aviator by two weeks
when the Armistice was signed. The
Bentley is making its debut in
American racing circles although
Mr.. Hawkes. has driven with ucces
in the class races on the famous
Brooklands track in England. Be
fore shipping his car to Indianapolis
he gave 1t a final test on the big
cement course at Brooklands and is
we'll satisfied with his chance to
win for England it's first Indian
apolis race.
The car is not a great deal diff
ferent from the stock production of
the Bentley factory. except as
changes were necessary for a race
Of $50 miles over the brick course
OF the Indianapolis Speedway. The
Bentley is powered with a four
cylinder 16-valve engine. In former
years the majority of foreign driv-
~ Brought their own tires with
them but Mr.. Hawkes. decided to
use American tires and fitted his
car with wire wheels to take the
straight side American cords.
During the great war the Bent
ley factory gained prominence in
Europe through it's manufacture of
radial engines for aviation and
when the entry OF the Bentley was
announced many American fans
thought that perhaps Mr.. Hawkes.
was coming over with an engine
where the cylinders revoIved around
a stationary erankshaft
This will be the seventh time thai
England has bid for the Indianapo-
Is honors although its previous en-
tries have always been Sunbeams.
The Bentley crew expected to start
practice before the n of the week
and to appear in the stunts put
on Saturday when the drivers will
entertain the fans, with driving
tests and speed, the proceeds to go
to the lap prize fund. which Indi-
annapolis citizens are raising to pay
the leading driver $4,000 on every
one Of the 200 laps Of the race.
