INDIANAPOLIS
PREPARES FOR
NEXTBIG RACE
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 13 —The
startling line at the track of the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway, where the
annual 500 mile international sweep
stakes automobile race is held every
May 30, has been moved into the
back stretch about 200 feet. The
judge’s stand, which also has ac
commodations for the newspaper re
porters, also lias been moved and
set farther back from the edge of
the track.
Although only one automobile race
a year is held at the speedway, a
corps of workmen are given year
around employment to keep the place
in condition. While the next contest
is four months away, much of the
routine in connection with it already
is being handled. The finishing line
on the track was moved back for
the accommodation of the fans sit
ting along the stretch. The old fin
ishing line was only a short distance
from the first turn in the 2l.£ mile
oval.
The judge’s stand was set back
from the edge of the track as a di
rect result of the introduction of the
small, one-seated racing cars which
performed hero for the first time
last May. The numbers painted on
the cars were necessarily small and
the judges and others had difficulty
in checking them correctly.
Entry blanks already have been
Issued for the next race.

In a way that has delighted the exited
emperor’s enemies.
But In a measure on* may forgive
the former Emperor some of his rude
ness and econtriclty after reading
Count Zedlltz’ pictures of Die dul1
life of thp Potsdam royal family and
the awful monotony with which th'
Hohenzollerns atttempted from day
to day to stage their pomp and
grandeur. The late Empress was a
faithful mother and doubtless had
many womanly virtues, but one can
not possibly glean f-om Count Zed
lltz’ book that she was companion
able or entertaining In ilia slightest
degree. Pictures he gives oT even
ings In the great Palace at Potsdam
show them to have been so dull that
aologists for William II will find
much material to use in his defense.
The late Empress permitted her
husband to smoke a cigar or cagar
ette after dinner, but she seldom
allowed any guest to stack* in her
presence. She and thp women din
ner guests accompanied th» men to
the billiard room aft*r dinner, and
sat there until retiring time. The
former Emperor frequently read tele
grams and messages aloud to the
company. Meanwhile his wife did
needlework. Sometimes members of
the party selected magazines nr hooks
and road In sllenc e.
Count Zedlitz savs franklv (hat
the evenings wore tedious and try

Empress to announce it was bedtime.
She usually did this shoo’ half nest

been appalling, he suddenly ex
claimed: “Are you going to staj
here all night."
The Empress replied : "No Wil
Ham, but I did not want to disturl
you; you have been so busy read
ing.” William retorted: “What elst
could I do when it is so miserably
dull here?”

Although called the “Playground
Smoker,” the only plav connected
with It is found in the name. Indi
cations are that it will be a real,
businesslike mittfest. The two final
bouts promise to be great scraps.
Joe Collier and Sailor Sampson are
said to be evenly matched. Coliter
has a slight advantage in height
and possibly in reach lent Sampson
is the heavier built, having powerful
shoulders and deep chest and well
developed underpinning. The sailor
is confident of winning by the kayo
route and his shipmates are backing
solidly. Collier looks on this match
as the first step in his comeback
He is in fine condition and will be
able to put up a first class bout.
All of the boys on the card are
hard at work conditioning for their
bouts. Both Williams- and Clark arc
virtually ready to stop in tha ring,
