Three other machines built by local man. ufacturer will take their trial tomor- row, according to an announcement. They must average so miles an hour or better to earn the right to start,
 Drivers, mechanicians and pittmen, however, made a busy day of in it final minute inspection of their speed creations. A meeting was held late in the afternoon by the drivers and officials of the A. A. A., at which vas riouS rules and technical questions were discussed.
 Speculation was rife tonight as to the merits of the new machines which have piston displacement of not more than 122 cubic inches, about two-thirds the size of the smallest motors built for rassenger cars in the United States. The automobiles are of the one-seater type and are much lighter than any other racing automobile ever entered in the local event. The majority of the American cars have eight cylinders.
 Three German cars and five FrencH machines are also entered. They are heavier tnan the Amerlcan SpeederS and while they have not shown as much speed. give every indication of being sturdy and enduring. The drivers of all the machines-Ameri- can, French and German-for the most part, are veteran race drivers.
 Automobiles began lining uu around the speedway fence at noon today and before darkness parking space was at a premium. Tourists arrived steadily from all directions during the day. the automobiles bearing license plates of states as far east as Maine and as far west as California.
 The race drivers will compete fot prizes totalling approximately sS5,- 900, it was said today. The speed- way divides S50,000 among the first 10 to finish. In addition the citizens. lap prize fund amounts to more than s10, 900 and automobile and access sory firms give monetary prizes an- nually amounting to nearly S25,000. A portion of the lap fund is given to the driver leading each of the two hundred laps necessary to com- plete the race.
 The race will begin at 10 o'clock in the morning as usual. Capt. Ed- die Rickenbacker will be the starter.

BEGINNING THE SEASON


 These are the days when a golfer pictures season of wonderful achievement on the links. He has in- spring visions of fine shots and his ethusiastic thoughts may even stray to the big championships. He is con- fldent that all he has lacked hereto fore has now made a discovery and this year will be his season. These thoughts were especially suggested to me by a chance meeting with William NJ. Reay, president of the Briergate Golf club. Chicago Each year since l have known MT. Reay. and he is very old friend, he has begun the season with new and lnfallible receipe for golf suc- cess. and although he has not won a championship l am bound to confess that each year his game has seadily improved. l am sure that this con fident spirit is the very best condi- tion of mind in which to begin a new season.
 The spring is the proper occasion to lay the foundation of the game that will give you the long g-hoped- for revenge on John Smith and that will enable you to wipe out a big part of your unflattering handicap.
 Time To Experiment..
 One dares not experiment in mid season, but at the beginning of the golf year it is fairly easy for the player who has been doing many things wrong for many years to right a few of them in the spring time; for there is right and a wrong way to play the game, and while the wrong way will show good results occasionally. it is better to find the method that will generally produce good results. think a player before giving up in disappointment and resigning himself to mediocrity, should determine to give the tested right method of play thorough trial.
 He should not worry so much about results at the beginning of his game but he should try for right methods and work for consistency. Of course. the great players do not play alike in detail, for they are necessarily in- dividual, but the general principles of their game are the same.
 There is no doubt that increased skill will add much to the pleasure of playing. Therefore, I advise the golfer who Is conscious of faulty game to devote at this season of the year little study to it's defects, and when that unprotected swing has once been remedied he will find him self most happily rewarded for his trouble.
