NN 1915 Eddie Rickenbacher was America’s speedway king, having , ] foored more points than any other driver. He was a laughing, «light-hearted fellow, and he loved speed. He never could find # car fast enough to suit him. He cared " / y nothing for risks. In a race at Sioux f City, in tWat year, C, Cox, another % e driver, pressed Eddie so closely on a turo that the front wheols of his . car struck the rear wheels of Rick- enbacher’s racer; Cox's car was over- turned and Cox waa killed. Ricken- bacher went on and won the race. In the Metropolitan Trophy race at Sheepshead Bay track, 1916, the car driven by Qari Libmerg, with Roxsy Pallottt as mechanician, threw a h the t th bas rs one o fw tin e coll = Fo af THis vias HS one [Weta {We Igpe to" tines nest x --| smaller couree inay have Billy Gangemuller of t collegiate champion Benny Kauff Anxious \eetaa re | To Get Chance to Throw *:: Hand Grenade at Kaiser **::* quered Karl A seeesepincdemece egiate hylf-mile |Loss of Crack Outfielder, Who | oh way, Charie outfiol champie | gue, where he played In the | during 1913.
