Pa., speedway. Both LeCocq and Bandini were burned to death yesterday when their car, a Roamer Special, overturned on the Indiana polis, Ind., track during the interna tional sweepstakes race. Men Oldfield Picked Won Big Hoosier Sweepstakes Among Drivers Master Driver of World Predicted as Possible Winners, Six Were Among the First 10 to Pass Goal Wilcox, the Victor, One of Oldfield's 'Ticks." Barney Oldfield, master driver of the world, was right! hi a special article, written by Oldfield for the Universal Service, and which appeared in yesterday's Bee, the champion race-track driver predicted that a "dark horse" would win the big Indianapolis national sweepstakes; he even went so far as to name the probable winner, and his predictions came true. Among those daredevils of the roaring road chanced as possible winner of the $50,000 sweepstakes were "Howdy" Wilcox, in his Peu geot; Earl Cooper, in his Stutz; Louis Chevrolet and Ralph Mul ford, in Frontenacs, and the drivers of the Dusenberg cars. Howard Wilcox won the first prize, with an average speed of 87:12 miles per hour. Oldfield was right; a "dark horse" took the honors. While most of the speedway fans bet their money on famous, drivers like Ralph de Palma, Dario Resta, Earl Cooper, Jules Goux, the two Chevrolets and others, Oldfield picked a man, well known to the sports world, ' but little known as national or international winner. "I am looking for De Palma to have many spark plugs fouled so I cannot give his 12-cylinder Packard aviation motor much of a chance, even in the face of its speed," wrote Barney Oldfield. Foul spark plugs and tire trouble made De Palma lose at one time more than 25 miles, while at the pits making changes. Oldfield further wrote: "No green car has ever won at Indianopolis, so V cannot take the 8-cylinder Ballots, built in 140 days, OMAHA PRODUCE Wholesale Prices on Beef.

Again each is driven by an old ex pert and 500 miles at Indianapolis requires young bloodand enthus iasm." Of the four Ballots entered, only one "pulled." Albert Guyot at the wheel of a Ballot won the fourth prize with an average speed of 84.85 miles per hour. Guyot is an old man at the game and one of the best drivers known. Looking over the line of Oldfield's prediction, we find that six out of the 10 speedsters who led their fel low drivers at the finale were named as possible winners by Oldfield. They are Wilcox, Goux, Guyot, Louis Chevrolet, Ira Vail and Gas ton Chevrolet. Every speedway fan will admit that Oldfield's predictions in The Bee were pretty safe bets; six out of 10 is an excellent average. The Bee, throiiph its resources and its carefully selected service, is at all times able to present to its readers the version of experts, may it be on the race track or on the speedway, on political or international affairs, on transatlantic flight or on any other matter of interest to the king whom we all serve, His Majesty, the American citizen.
