LAST RACER TO BE BUILT Pioneer in Game, Thwarted Time After Time, Declares Ambition Gratified. BY GENE IIAY.NF.8. When Joe Boyer, driving Corum's Deuscnberg yesterday flashed across the finishing tape In the twelfth annual renewal of the International sweepstakes, Indianapolis again was buoyed up by the fact that the winning mount was an Indlanapolls-made product, and acclaimed their enthusiasm by lauding Fred and August Duesenbcrg, automotive masters, who constructed the tiny mount that lowered the laurels of twenty-two other entries In the gasoline classic.

The Duesenbergs carried the hopes of Indianapolis for a victory, and dur ing the trials were shrouded In mystery. DePaolo Finishes Sixth. Pete DePaolo finished elxth In a mate to the winning car. He negotiated the 200 laps at a rate of 94.30 miles per hour, the first car to get the checkered flag that finished under the track record set up in 122 of 94.48 miles an hour. DePaolo drove a steady race from start to finish, but the classic was so closely contested that the first five cars finished within six minutes of each other, making it the greatest event run on the brick oval.

Last He Will Build. "These are the last racing cars I ex pect to build I have achieved my greatest ambition in winning the Indianapolis 500-mile race and no one can hope for moro than that." This was the statement made by Fred C. Duesenberg, who, with his brother, August S. Duesenberg, designed the four fast Duesenberg cars, one of which carried off first prize in the race. The two Duesenberg brothers are pioneer automobile manufacturers, and have always had a flair for turning out speedy racers.

Although their cars have seemed to be pursued by an inexorable Jinx, which was not shaken off until the last quarter of yesterday's race, the lure of the game and the spirit of the true sportsman kept them at it. "I really haven't much to say; I don't know what to say. except that I am very proud that one of my cars finished first." Fred Duesenberg as serted after staying in the pits with his mechanics throughout the entlr.j race. "I have always wanted to win this race. I have put good cars Into It, but we Just had one streak of bad CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT.

RACE AT SPEEDWAY Attendance Is Estimated at From 135,000 to 140,000 Traffic Big Problem. Thanks to it'eal weather conditions, attendance records at the Speedway yesterday were broken with a crowd estimated by Speedway officials as be tween 135.000 and 140,000. This establishes a new attendance record for the race, breaking last year's record of 123,000. All through the night, long lines of automobiles waited for the gates of the Speedway grounds to open yesterday morning. At 6:30 o'clock, military police on guard at the ground announced that the automobiles were lined three abreast as far as the Em-rlshvllle bridge, and when the gates were opened shortly after fl o'clock the visitors began to stream Into the grounds through every entrance.

As the day advanced, promising almost perfect race weather, with a pleasant warmth and a gentle breeze, the crowds came In Increasing numbers. All roads to the fepeeaway from Indianapolis were Jammed with traffic until Just before the start of the race. Crowds Arrive Early. The bulk of the crowd, which filled practically every seat in the stands, and formed a human fringe three deep around the Inner edge of the two and one-half mile track, had found places from which It could watch the race at least half an hour before the starting bomb. As usual, the reserved boxes In the larger stands were the last to be filled.

Throughout the long grind of the race, the crowd was In an unusually good humor. Applause for a particularly fine burst of speed was generous and favorites were frequently cheered enthusiastically as they shot past the stands. It was an exceedingly orderly crowd, police reporting very little difficulty In maintaining order. The greatest problem was in the handling of traffic before and after the race. On account of weeks of rain, the Inner field of the Speedway, where hundreds of automobiles were to be parked, was soft and muddy during the early hours of the morning.

Military pollco directing traffic had difficulty In keeping It moving, due to the frequent stalling of cars In the mud. More Automobiles Parked. Visitors, who had attended previous races, reported that there appeared to be more cars parked in the Inner field this year than ever before, de.plte reports that many, who had previously CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT.

BT W. BLAINE PATTON, Sports Editor of The Star. Another singular victory was hung up by an Indlanapolls-made car at the twelfth running of the International 500-mile derby at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway yesterday, when on of Fred Duesenberg's speed creations out stripped a field of twenty-one other starters amid the thunderous cheers of a crowd of frenzied gasoline fans, estl- mated at between 135,000 and 140.000 i people, It wn the fifth time In the iifstovto i auto classic that the checkered flag of victory has been waved over- the oll-! stained brow of a driver piloting an I Indlanapolls-made car, the previous ones Deing-jtay tiarroun in a Marmon, Joe Dawson In a National, Gaston Chevrolet In a Monroe and Tommy Milton in a Frontenac. In addition, last year's winning rar, although not built here, carried the colors of the H. C.

S. to first place. Corum Official Winner. The heavy foot of Joe Boyer won the verdict for the Duesenberg after he took the wheel of L. L.

Corum in the JOflth lap of the lace. The mount In which ne originally started did not appear to have the speed of the ultimate winner, and it was a wild dash to chop down the lead of Karl Cooper for the remaining ninety-five laps. The speed was terrific end the average increased as the race progressed, the time for the five-century grind being hours minutes 23.51 seconds, which figures 98.23 miles nn hour and estab lishes a new world's record for the distance. Although It was Boyer who finished the race, the official records will show that It was Corum who won the race. Boyer's car was smashed up near the finish and he will not be credited with any of the championship points by the A.

A. A. For the 105 laps driven by Corum he will be credited with 555 points In the rating. This wMl put him In the lead ahead of Harlan Fcngler, who has 500 points. Karl Cooper, In a Miller-motored Studehnker Special, forced the Issue throughout and was leading a great part of the time, and earned second position with an average of 97.79 miles an hour.

He finished less than a minute and a half behind the winning IXiesle. In all, five machines broke the previous record, made by Jimmy Murphy In 1922. in which the 183-cubic-inch type of motor was used, while yesterday's event was for the 122 -cubic-Inch baby class. Murphy's winning average was 04.48 miles an hour. Tribute to Knglneers.

It was a great tribute to the me- rnanicai s'-iu. i BnJ ll.rrv 1 iT- who built all of the ten cars which finished In the money and showed the wonderful development of the tiny motor within the scope of one year. lAflt year the 122 cubic Inch class was In the experimental stage while yesterday It conclusively proved to be far beyond that. The first nlpe cars to finish bettered the mark of the winner In 1923. the average being 00.95 miles an hour.

Fourteen Miller-motored speed creations, carrying various names, faced the starter and eight of the number finished In the selected ten for capital prize money. Four Duesenbergs started and two finished, the winner and sixth position, the latter place being won by Fete DePaolo. The Schmidt Special, the reconstructed German Mercedes, which finished eighth last year, although running at the finish, was too slow in the fast company. The sturdy Barber-Warnock Specials, the three "flivvers" In the race, won the admiration of the great crowd and were buzzing merrily around the course when flagged at the finish. In endurance these were up to anything on the track, but were outclassed by high-powered opposition.

Boyer Wins First T.op. The honor of winning the first lap of the race went to Joe Boyer In his own car, who completed the circuit at the rate of 9S.39 miles an hour, a record at the track for the initial whirl around the two and one-half mile brick course. The lead was short lived, however, as Jimmy Murphy shot the nose of his steel chariot into first place on the next lap and held his ad-vantage at the fifty-mile mark, clorely pursued by Karl Cooper's Studebaker and Bennett Hill's Miller Special. Harry Hartz's Durant was in fourth place and the Miller, being piloted by Tommy Milton was In fifth position. The sixth car was F.ddle Hearne's Durant: the seventh Ira Vail's Special: eighth, F.llingboe's Miller; ninth Mourre's Special, and tenth, DePaolo's Duesenberg.

A dizzy pace had been set by the leader, who averaged 98.S9 miles an hour, the time being 30 minutes 20.12 seconds for the first half century oi ine ions: snno. At 100 miles the leaders were well bunched, there being only twenty-nine seconds difference in time between Murphy in first position end Hill in third. Cooper in second was only ten seconds behind the leader. was CONTINUED ON PAGE THISTEEN. "Wonderful Ride," Exclaims Joe Boyer After Mad Burst of Speed Wife Witness of His Thrilling Victory.

WEATHER FORECAST i Renews Advocacy of Hughes Plan in Memorial Day Address Stands on This and Plea for Farther Arms Restriction as Campaign Appeal.

WASHINGTON, May 30. Further limitation of armaments and American adherence, with reservations, to the world coiirt created under the League of Nations were set up by President Coolldge today 'as his goals in the field of foreign affairs. Speaking at the Memorial day exercises 'it Arlington, the President renewed his advocacy of the Harding-Hughes plan for American membership In the permanent court of international Justice, and the Ideal of mutual covenants by the nations limiting theij military establishments "should be made practical as fa'st as possible." The President gave notice that he would not oppose other reservations to the court protocol than those proposed by president Harding and Secretory Huches but would not support "any material changes which would i not probaDly receive me consent, or me many other signatory nations." His declaration was interpreted generally as opposition to the plan of the Republican majority of the Senate foreign relations committee for American adherence provided the nations now members of the court agree to separate the tribunal from the league. Chief Campaign Issues. The two goals outlined by Mr.

Coolldge were declared by persons close to him to be the major foreign policies upon which he- will stand In the' coming campaign. Combined with these the President, it was said, will place emphasis upon extension of a loan to liermany py private Amen- can Interests with governmental encouragement, with a view to carrying 1 out the Dawes plan for European re- habllitatlon. An attempt to make American en-: trance Into the world court contingent i on 'Separation of the court from the league would be Impracticable and un-I worthy of. American principles and traditions, the President said, after showing that the union of the states had been based on renunciation of I certain liberties and assumption of new duties and obligations In order to obtain greater benefits. "We may as well face this question candidly," ha mid, referring to the Significant Sentences From Coolidge Speech A government must govern, must prescribe and enforce laws within Its sphere, or cease to be a government." As civilization becomes more complex it is necessary to surrender more and more of freedom of action and live more and more according to the rule of public regulation, but It Is also true that the rewards and privileges which come to a member of organized society increase In a still greater proportion.

It Is not to be inferred that It would he anything lees than courting national disaster to leave our country barren of defense. There huve been, and will be, domestic disorders. There have, and will be, tendencies of one nation to encroach upon another. 1 believe in the maintenance of an army and navy, not for aggression, but for defense. Security and order are our most valuable possessions.

They are cheap at any price. The ideal would be for nations to become parties to mutual covenants limiting their military establishments and making It clear to each other that they are not maintained to menace each other. I do not look upon It (world court) as a certain guarantee against war. On that (Harding-Hughes proposal for Joining the world court of the League of Nations with the Hughes reservations), I stand. I should not oppose other reservations, but any material changes which would not probably receive the consent of the many other nations, would be Impracticable.

We can not lower our standards to what we think will pay, but we must raise them to what we think is right. issue of American world court membership, "and If we are willing to assume the new duties In exchange for the benefits which accrue to us, let us say so. If we are not willing, let us say that. We can accomplish nothing by taking a doubtful or ambiguous position. Must Meet Burdens Firmly.

"We are not going to be able to avoid meeting the world and bearing our part of the burdens of the world. We must meet these burdens and overcome them, or they will meet us and overcome us.
