The so-called wise boys"
at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway were talking Louis
Meyer today.
Everything but the qualification
trials, which start at 10 Saturday
morning, has been forgotten at
Gasoline alley" and the guessers
already have given Meyer the pole
position for the 500-naile gas and
oil gallop Decoration day.
Louis, winner Of the 1923 five
century grind, Tapped the Speedway
track Thursday afternoon at the
fastest gait Of the season-more
than 1T miles an hour.
Meyers time around the two-and-
a-hal{-miIe brick oval was 1863
by the stop-watches-and the rail-
birds aren't sure whether he had it
wide open or not.
Brisko Hits Wall
Shortly after Louis put the six
teen cylindered Sampson Special to
bed, Frank Brisko, who had been
touring in his eight-cylindered
'front.' drive all afternoon, cracked
up on the north turn. Fe kissed
the wall and nearly ruined his ma
chine. Neither Brisko, nor Freddie
Winnai, who happened to be rid
ing in the bus, were SO much as
scratched, but the car may not get
in the race.
The boys came up the back
stretch, cutting it loose, when a
knuckle on the left front wheel
broke and the car nosed into the
upper wall. It caromed off, but
cracked into the upper wall on the
northwest curve again and came
to rest on the lower wall, the left
wheel torn off and the front axle
in sorry shape.
Frank seemed to think it could
be repaired in time to qualify next
week, and he may do it, but the
odds are against him. 1t is the car
Dave Evans ran into sixth place
last year and the same thing that
happened to Brisko Thursday hap
pened to Dave in the race last year
only Dave somehow managed to
run 200 miles with it.
Diesel Ready for Test
Dave, by the way, appeared at the
track Thursday afternoon, calling
hello's to the gang and talking
Diesel. The oil-eater arrived in
town from Columbus, Ind, later in
the evening and Evans hopes to

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

decade ago Jones' topcoat was of
the hue known az oxford, mixed
gray and black, much liked then and
now by conservative men.
At the end Of 10 years-in 1881, to
be exact-the coat was green, despite
frequent cleanings at the best estab-
ltshments.
Ten years Is long time for coat
to 60. and Jones garment was no ex-
ception. He had been told frequently,
sometimes he thought too frequently,
that he should dispose Of it, but up
until this Fall he resisted all tempta-
rions 80 get rid Of his old friend.
At last he compromised by hanging
II IN the closet for use in very in
clement weather On nice days, he
declared. he would wear his new one
but when 1t wet and cold he pre-
terred his old friend
The felt hat however, was the big
gest reform i'll the outward appearance
of Templeton Jones. Because some OF
his friends didn't want him to wear d
cap Jones insisted on doing So 1t had
been limited that he might be taken
| for Senator If he would wear silk
hat Or d very successful physician If he
wore felt.
To all these Establishments Templeton
Jones turned a deaf ear smiling the
while, however, at the thought Of an
anecdote told him years ago by a
friend This friend was a very small
and very solemn man who was ad
dicted to caps.
1t was in the days OF Tip Top Weekly
carrying the adventures of Frank Merri-
we'll
The gentleman entered newsstand
and tumbled over the magazines.

friend without cracking a smile
Behold Jones now, new felt hat on
head. new topcoat around him, Sc
dately walking along the streets where
no dogs bark.
Dogs do not bark at gentlemen In
felt hats. as is we'll known. THAT is
why burglars wear capS.D
Templeton Jones. having got as far
as a new hat and coat thought that he
might as we'll go a bit farther So he
stopped in at his favorite shoe dealer
and possessed himself OF neat new
pair in brown.
Jones friends would beseech him 10
wear low shoes If they knew that he
steadfastly wears high ones Summer
and Winter
HIS trOlSer legs. however. save MIN
their beSeechmentS. He Is free TO wear
the sort Of shoes he prefers. That S
good" as the little boy said TO the
gentleman with Newfoundland dog
when the gentleman assured him it was
not bear.
Jones took to high shoes for steady
not periodic, wear when he was l6 years
old. for the good and simple reason. as
Penrod says, that low shoes cut his
heels
He has been told since that low
shoes are made nowadays SO that they
cut 10 heels, however formed. This is
probably So. Jones agrees, but he has
got used to high shoes b. this time and
likes them best.
AnG what difference does 1t make
anyway?
Temp!eton Jones feels much the
same about felt hats and tOpcoats. In
old clothes or new, he is precisely the
same fellow.
II the gentleman with the big car
fails TO stop for him when he wears a
cap. the gentleman with the big car is
missing good company, that is all.
II he stops when Jones appears on
the horizon in new hat and coat, then
he is nightly impressed by coat or
hat, or both
Jones is not bit grateful to him.
