IS POPULAR ONE.1 , EDDIE BICKENBACHEB'S SUCCESS All SHEEPSHEAD BAY SPEEDWAY OCCASIONS BEJ0ICIN6. Career oi New Speed King Mark* i , ed by Strenuous Efforts tn r the Racing Game. Eddie Rickenbacher's victory at the Sheepshead Bay speedway last Saturday, when he drove his Maxi well racing car ahead of the field and galloped away with the chief prize t of $10,000 and the Metropolitan cup r is a very popular one. The crack t cars and crack drivers of the world were entered in the turney and the ? fact that an American driver in an i American-made car won the event - has occasioned much rejoicing. A number of telegrams of cont gratulation have been received at r the general offices of the Maxwell , Motor Company in Detroit. Some i of these were from New York newspaper men,testifying to the fine perf formance of both driver and car and f declared that the victory was a most 1 pleasing one. Rick's feat in sending his Maxwell - over the course of 150 miles in 93 t minutes, 31 seconds, an average of f 96.48 miles per hour for the-" whole l distance is, a remarkable ope, and t hia victory is no more than he dei serves in the light of his careeV. AN EXCITING CAREER. 8 Edward Victor Rickenbacher was 3 born in Columbus, 0, about thirty ; years ago. He has been identified 5 with automobile competition for the f' last ten years, making his first ap' ? -? *v%Artkoninion nn fhn auiT as a iiicv.nauiv.iaii uu j Frayer-Miller entry in the 1906 Vanderbilt cup classic. The first eight years of his racing career were veiled in obscurity, and j it was not until July 4, 1914, that l he leaped into fame. On that day , he won the first 300 mile event run j on the gumbo dirt tract at Sioux City. He had his most successful season last year, when he was the j only driver to win three open speed. way events. He repeated his victory of the year previous at Sioux ' City, showed the way to the field at , Omaha and took first money at Providence. In addition to these j victories, he finished third in the f Chicago motor derby, his Maxwell being the first American car to com. plete the 500 mile grind. j he's a bachelor. Rickenbacher is as well-versed in J motor car construction as any driver in the game. He has built and sold automobiles. It is significant that he is one of the few stars in the racing game who has selected an Amertcan-made car for his 1916 f campaign. Despite his fame and his good | looks, Rickenbacher has remained . single. He has but one love and that's his Maxwell racing car. He is captain of the Prest-O-Lite team 1 this year and has under his juris* diction the four Maxwell cars that are owned by Carl G Fisher and * James Allison, the Indianapolis race * magnates. - m ' Notice of Application for Final Discharge.
